“…According to Rudianto, Sisilo et al (2016) an indispensable strategy in the development of coastal areas is the integration of coastal ecosystems, especially for the existence of mangrove forests, coral reefs, and other components with the aim of minimizing the impact of more severe damage in the future. Coastal settlements are part of coastal villages in urban areas that tend to have diverse characteristics (Jevric and Romanovich, 2016;Liang, Liu et al, 2017;Matsuba and Namatame, 2003;Roy, 2005;Yu and Zhao, 2021). Starting from its physical characteristics such as environmental conditions and disasters to the characteristics of the community.…”

Coastal areas and their communities are one of the most vulnerable components of urban existence. The balance of the environmental, economic, and sociocultural sectors is crucial to maintain their sustainability. This research focuses on assessing the level of sustainability of a coastal area, namely Kampung Sentra Bandeng Semarang, and its influence on the community's current economic activities. Data from field observations, interviews with the community, and secondary sources are components of this analysis. The Circles of Coastal Sustainability (CCS) method was used to assess the sustainability conditions at the study site. As a result, environmental and economic aspects are aspects that need special handling for future regional planning programs. There are many sustainability indicators that still need to be improved, especially in handling tidal flooding and land subsidence.

Structure of Polycentric Circles Based on the Urban Radiation Pattern: A Case Study in the Yangtze River Delta Region, China

The metropolitan area is the inevitable trend of urbanization towards an advanced form. The pattern of urban radiation is the key to building a metro area and promoting high-quality regional development. In order to effectively promote the rationalization of metropolitan areas and regional integration development, this paper takes the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region as an example, calculates the intensity of city centrality (ICC) based on the statistical data, and explores the radiation pattern and spatial relationship of cities at different levels by using methods such as the extended breaking point model and the hierarchical Voronoi diagram. The research results show that: (1) The ICC in the YRD shows a spatial pattern of “high in the east and low in the west, high in the middle and low in the north and south”. (2) The ICC value of “strong-strong” adjacent cities shows the tendency of the radiation range to shrink and that the radiation direction is perpendicular to both sides. The “strong-weak” adjacent cities’ radiation range and direction show an expansion–contraction trend. The radiation range and direction of “weak-weak” adjacent cities exhibit disorder. (3) Because the ICC is hierarchical, urban radiation is a polycentric, nested circle structure. Shanghai is the first-level center, and Hangzhou, Nanjing, Ningbo, Hefei, and Xuzhou are the second-level centers. (4) The sequence of the spatial morphological complexity and stability in each circle, from complex to simple, is the Hangzhou circle, the Shanghai circle, the Xuzhou circle, the Hefei circle, and the Nanjing circle. The spatial morphological characteristics of the Ningbo circle do not meet the morphological dimension conditions. The study of the polycentric circle structure is of practical significance for the enhancement of the radiation driving effect of the central city and the expansion and improvement of the metropolitan area.

“…Yet theoretically, the power-law distribution of component sizes is only one of the properties of a fractal system, while the dynamic spatial configuration of the components, their growth path, and the way they fill the available space are important determinants as well. Yu and Zhao [55] address this measurement challenge by employing nonlinear least-squares regression to estimate the rate of change of fractal dimension which can vary across different urban growth contexts.…”

Since computing advances in the last 30 years have allowed automated calculation of fractal dimensions, fractals have been established as ubiquitous signatures of urban form and socioeconomic function. Yet, applications of fractal concepts in urban planning have lagged the evolution of technical analysis methods. Through a narrative literature review around a series of “big questions” and automated bibliometric analysis, we offer a primer on fractal applications in urban planning, targeted to urban scholars and participatory planners. We find that developing evidence demonstrates linkages between urban history, planning context, and urban form and between “ideal” fractal dimension values and urban aesthetics. However, we identify gaps in the literature around findings that directly link planning regulations to fractal patterns, from both positive and normative lenses. We also find an increasing trend of most literature on fractals in planning being published outside of planning. We hypothesize that this trend results from communication gaps between technical analysts and applied planners, and hope that our overview will help to bridge that gap.
