The increase in population and economy as a whole has an impact on the urban and regional growth patterns, through the development of settlements, infrastructure, and other supporting activities. The city on the small island also experiences the same pattern, particularly in the city appointed as one of the national strategic areas. Uncontrolled and sporadic growth pattern will cause serious effect on environmental degradation. Sabang, nationally announced as a strategic special zone, located on a small island with land-use dominated by forests, natural topography, mountains, and hills. One effort to maintain the environment due to the development growth is to optimize the catchment areas. The purpose of this study is to determine the recharge area, which would be a consideration in planning the spatial pattern of Sabang. The factors reviewed in this study are rainfall, slope, land-use, and soil conditions. Scoring techniques were used to measure the value of these factors. Furthermore, the Geographic Information System (GIS) was used to identify the recharge areas and to overlay both raster and vector data. The result shows that the potential area as the recharge areas is 63.8% of Sabang (7,873.67 ha), which includes forest areas, mangrove beaches, housing, green open spaces, terrestrial nature reserves, mixed plantations, industrial estates, tourism, trade and services, landslide-prone areas, river areas and beaches, and reservoirs. The finding indicates that there is the need to review the land-use plan to be ecologically compatible, particularly in the so-called eco-sensitive zones where the recharge areas are necessary.

As the number of disaster events in all parts of the world increases, studies on the topic of community resilience and spatial planning are also increasing because of its role is believed can minimize the risk of exposure to disasters. This study aims to investigate the various kinds of published work related to this research topic worldwide to give meaningful insights on the trend of preceding publications. This study performed a bibliometric analysis of the community resilience and spatial planning related papers published between 2000 and 2021. Based on the keywords selected, the study obtained 144 scholarly documents associated to research topic from the Scopus online database as of August 2021. Authors then employed some tools for further analysis including Microsoft Excel to conduct the frequency analysis, Harzing’s Publish or Perish for citation metric and analysis, and VOSviewer for data visualization purpose. The findings of basic bibliometric statistics are presented in this paper, with a focus on the rate of publication growth, citation analysis, and research productivity. Since 2000, the growth rate of literature in community resilience and spatial planning has increased gradually year by year. Most of the articles were published in journals and conferences, the majority of which were in English. Many of the research was in the field of social sciences and environmental sciences. The urban planning and community resilience were the most frequently used keywords, representing the main areas of research covered by the research topic. Most of the community resilience and spatial planning related research was conducted in United States. This study proposes that research on community resilience and spatial planning should be conducted in other less developed countries, as the disaster's impact was affected mostly in these regions.

The Islamic public space concept discourses predominantly refer to Middle East Moslem perspectives, only a few kinds of literature discuss its implementation to the Non-middle East Moslem society, particularly in the Southeast Asia region. This paper explores the Islamic public space concept from Banda Aceh City standpoints. The approaches based on its historical and current context which entail a tamaddun character. Tamaddun means the application of Islamic personality in all sectors of urban life. Aceh also famous as Serambi Mekkah, the veranda of Mecca, because it has the similarity to Mecca, and mostly because it is the only province in Indonesia that applies Syariah law. This paper aims to formulate a conceptual framework of Islamic public space in non-middle East circumstances. The possible contributions of Islamic value on public space critically discussed through an intensive literature review. The proposed concept highlights many dynamic factors, and their friendly interactions in the context of Aceh-Moslem society in the South-eastern atmosphere of Asia in terms of typology, functions, and design criteria of public spaces. The implication of this paper gives an advantage in improving the understanding and appreciation of the Islamic conception toward public space, as well as the implementation of the notion in urban design and planning.

This paper represents a bibliometric analysis of the Scopus database publications on resilience and urban planning. The study recalled 1,923 documents from 1997 to 2021 using keywords related to the research topic and analyzed this using Microsoft Excel 2019, VOSviewer and Harzing's Publish or Perish software. The findings show that the expansion rate of works in resilience and urban planning has steadily increased every year since 1997. This study's most frequently used terms are the main keywords, which are climate change, sustainability, urban resilience and spatial planning. Landscape and Urban Planning is recommended as the main target journal for publication of the results of this research analysis. Research on COVID-19 or pandemic resilience, public space and urban mobility may eventually supersede prior dominant themes. The findings suggest that researchers from less contributed countries should explore this topic more to provide nuance to this field.
