Growth, decline and the challenges facing a policy-dependent and former-colonial city: Gunsan, Korea

et al. 2022

The issue of sustainability is an interesting discussion on every concept of development in all cities worldwide. One issue in urban development concerns urban sustainability. It is widely understood in urban development that the distribution of land use directly impacts the sustainability of cities. The history of the city always impacts the distribution of land use. This study examines the relationship between land use distribution and the spatial structure of the road network and their contribution to urban sustainability in Central Business District (CBD) zone-based areas having historical value. Cities planned during ancient times are used as research objects. Connectivity and depth are used as syntax space attributes. Malang, Melaka and Kanazawa cities are chosen for this study for their historical value. Comparative studies were carried out by calculating the connectivity and integration axial lines of three cities in the CBD zone. DepthMapX is a space syntax tool for calculating the space syntax attributes used for this study. The study results are expected to help determine the integration concerning specific city zones. Furthermore, it will be able to gauge the suitability of the distribution pattern of land use and the spatial configuration pattern for these historic cities.

The Pattern of Land Use Integration in Historic Areas in the CBD Zone:

“…Research works in other nations also talked about urban planning, the Government of Taiwan's endeavour to conserve a few of the historical zones of Taipei, the sustainability of structures in a region in Malacca (Go & Lai, 2019;Ismail, 2012) and other historical towns (Drummond, Stier, & Diffendorfer, 2019;Subadyo, Tutuko, & Cahyani, 2018). Some research works have been conducted on colonial cities, such as participatory approaches (Agrawal, 2010), economic and political research (Blatman-Thomas & Porter, 2019;Rodríguez-Alegría, Millhauser, & Stoner, 2013;Yi & Ryu, 2015) and sustainable development in urban cities because of the impact of urbanisation (Buchori & Sugiri, 2016;Firman, 2009;Li & Mao, 2019;Qiao et al, 2019;Tutuko & Shen, 2016;Tutuko, Subagijo, & Aini, 2018). Other research works using DC have been carried out by Tutuko and Shen (2014a) on Javanese homes.…”

Measuring Spatial Arrangement of Indonesian Colonial Cities using Depth and Connectivity Calculations: Ratio study on master plans using Space Syntax

Tutuko

et al. 2021

This study proposes an easy method for calculating the spatial arrangement of Indonesian city planning, in line with sustainable urban forms. Several Indonesian cities originated during the Dutch colonial era. Although it is very important to consider the original plans of these cities to maintain their sustainability, generally, the original plans tend to be ignored. The master plans investigated in this work are those of three cities in Indonesia designed by Dutch planners of Semarang, Bandung, and Malang, and which are compared to two cities in the Netherlands (Delft and Amsterdam). The method used was by collecting images of ancient maps of Amsterdam, Delft, Bandung, Semarang, and Malang, then digitising the image from raster to vector so that it can be calculated using DepthMapX. This study utilised maps for computing the Depth of the cities. Then, a space syntax approach using Depth Calculation (DC) techniques is deployed for determining the similarity ratio among the cities. Based on the results of the assessment, it is found that there is similarity in Depth in the cities of Amsterdam and Delft against three Dutch colonial cities in Indonesia. This study supports that the DC in the master plan of cities in Indonesia is similar. The resulting ratio shows the extent of the difference between the pattern of Indonesian colonial cities and the pattern of Dutch cities. It is expected that this study will contribute to urban planners' and city governments' determination of the direction of development of a city designed during the Dutch colonial period. Maintaining the sustainability of the old colonial urban form requires harmony between urban planning and the policies made by the city government.

“…It is vital to understand Indonesian kampong patterns to get a fundamental understanding about kampongs to facilitate sustainable urban form. Many research works on sustainable development from different urban perspectives have been conducted, including topics such as economics and politics (Rodríguez-Alegría, Millhauser, & Stoner, 2013;Yi & Ryu, 2015), as well as sustainable development in metropolises, given the impacts of urbanisation (Firman, 1999(Firman, , 2009Tutuko & Shen, 2016;Sedyowati, Suhartanto, & Sholichin, 2018;Tutuko, Subagijo, & Aini, 2018;Wikantiyoso et al, 2020;Wikantiyoso et al, 2021). This approach uses the calculation of depth on the justified graph, which is usually done to determine the relationship hierarchy within the space syntax method.…”

The Spatial Pattern of a Kampong Area in Malang City using a Space Syntax Approach

Tutuko¹,

et al. 2021

In Indonesia, a kampong is an urban village region where about 75% of the city populace resides. Of late, kampongs have been drawing the attention of city government authorities with regards to formulation of kampong improvement initiatives and the conservation of kampongs by adhering to specific themes. This includes Malang city as well. Concerning one of the many urban planning challenges regarding sustainability, it is essential to monitor the kampong pattern in Malang. This pattern may be used for creating other kampongs using the template. The space syntax approach is utilised for determining the attributes of the kampong spatial patterns in Malang city. Moreover, kampong patterns were compared to determine the anticipated pattern. Depth computation and map connectivity concerning any theme-based Malang kampongs were used. Computing such patterns requires connectivity and depth computations. Justified plots are mathematical tools used for such computations; the DepthMapX software is used for the same. The present research aims to determine computations used for kampong pattern identification utilised for city planning. This computation will help determine which kampong has the most superior depth and connectivity among the reviewed kampongs and which kampong has the most intricate spatial syntax.
