“…The design should create an interactive and accessible riverbank to be oriented towards the river as a positive open space, view space, air, sun, and so on. It proposes an interactive, accessible, and beneficial urban water environment for city residents (Vian, Izquierdo, & Martínez, 2021). The community can carry out recreational, cultural, and scientific activities on the riverbank as a public open space (Hussein, 2006).…”

The riverbank has a unique landscape and socio-cultural character of the community. The area is the transition of the innerland and river ecosystem. The ecological function is very important for balancing the both ecosystems. The Living activity of dwellers creates a socio-cultural bond to the river. This study plans the housing riverbank with a socio-ecological approach. The approach considers the sustainability of the ecosystem and social culture of the dwellers. The research was conducted in Palembang, a big city in Indonesia that has evolved in wetlands on the riverbanks. The current development eliminates the character of the physical and socio-cultural landscape. This study uses the Multi-Attribute Utility Theory (MAUT) method which is part of the Multi-criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) method. MAUT can determine alternative planning through attribute assessment by predetermined objective criteria. The decision making is based on the assessment by experts from various fields. It shows the best alternative depends on the attribute level of the house type. The attribute value is very dominant compared to other attributes. Environmental attributes quite influential are the size of the buffer zone and the construction of riveredge wall. The best alternative result indicated that the planning should accommodate the activities of residents who interact closely with the sustainability of river ecosystems.

“…Thus, riverside spatial morphology can support a range of activities which strengthen user and interest diversity, via these spaces' versatility. The variety of spaces and access is conditioned in part by the morphology of the river and the valley [34]. Another factor that determines the variety and character of the riverside spaces is the history of the city Exclusion from access to nature takes various forms.…”

This paper seeks to evaluate the public space potential of riverbanks in the case of the city of Valdivia. The main goal of this research is to understand the relationships that promote or hinder the equitable enjoyment of watercourses and riverbanks. In the case of river access, spatial equity will be considered as the possibility for all inhabitants to access the benefits and resources of the river in their daily lives. Different analytical techniques and quantitative data were used to explore the relationships between socioeconomic characteristics, like socioeconomic groups and land value in the riverbank urban area. This evaluation will be applied by river edge transects. This article is a contribution to the theoretical discussion of social equity in urban riverfronts as an application in the case study since there are few studies on river banks from this perspective. Lack of a comprehensive shore planning in waterfront neighborhoods and of diverse public spaces impedes due public riverside and water use, as well as neglects ecological deterioration processes and social vulnerability.

“…In response to the needs of residents in these residential areas, the green belts have to be transformed into recreational areas that are different from the recreational functions of the green spaces in the residential areas. By developing river entertainment projects through the design of waterfronts [81], the design of urban greenways provides broader sports and entertainment options [82]. These are recreational functions that cannot be included in residential green space, but can be realized in the green belt.…”

With the continuous expansion of urban construction land, the green belts aiming for ecological protection have ensured a sustainable and effective function of regional ecosystem services. At the same time, these ecological green belts are expected to develop their compound service potentials with the development of cities. In order to meet the increasing demand of urban residents for the recreational utilization of urban green space, the primary function of the ecological green belts has transformed from being purely ecological to a combination of being ecological and recreational. Based on social media data, which has the characteristics of a large amount of accessible geographic information, this study used multiple regression models to analyze the recreational utilization intensity of ecological protection green belts with a case study in the green belt of Shanghai, China. The research results showed that the internal elements (total external area, water area, etc.) of the Shanghai green belt have positive correlations with its recreational utilization. The impact of external factors was inconclusive on the recreational utilization of the outer forest belt (the number of subway stations in accessibility factors was negatively correlated; the number of cultural facilities and the number of restaurants in the surrounding service facilities were positively related). Combined with the “Shanghai City Master Plan (2017–2035)”, this study suggests potential zones for the recreational transformation of the Shanghai green belt, provides a theoretical and practical basis for improving the recreational utilization of an urban ecological protection green belt and contributes to the sustainable development of ecological protection green belts in high-density cities.
