“…As time passed by, these early settlements likely experienced population growth, became a hub of diverse activities, and matured into prominent settlements, possibly centers. Processes of population growth and increasing organizational complexity have long been recognized as part of the urban growth process (Bettencourt et al 2007;Burgess 1925). A correlation of the population level to the organizational complexity in settlements, particularly administrative natures, has also been observed in other archeological contexts (Blanton and Fargher 2008;Feinman and Neitzel 1984).…”

The Songgukri culture (c. 2900-2400 cal. BP) in the Geum River basin is often regarded as one of the earliest complex societies in the Korean peninsula, based on some evidence for an intensified agrarian economy and social differentiation. This study focuses on landscape visibility as a method of detecting settlement relationships of the Songgukri culture. Two measures of landscape visibility, viewshed size and shared-ness of viewshed (SoV), are examined in this study. Our results indicate that while Songgukri centers tend to have larger visibility of landscape than non-centers, both centers and non-centers share their visible landscape with other settlements at a remarkably high rate. We argue that landscape visibility at Songgukri settlements reflects a shared sense of cultural belonging among settlers, rather than sociopolitical inequality between the elites in centers and the nonelites in other settlements. This study highlights a long-term process, in which bottom-up cultural interactions of Songgukri residents may have contributed to the development of settlement organization and regional communal identities over time.

“…A los anteriores, hay que añadir estudios como los de Harvey Choldin (1985) y Peter Saunders (1986), quienes proponen ver a la sociología urbana como una disciplina que se interesa sobre todo en la organización social inscrita en el espacio. En esta lista no pueden faltar los estudios herederos de la sociología urbana de Ernest Burgess (1967) y la Escuela de Chicago. Podría decirse que, a partir de las principales corrientes de la sociología urbana, se ha establecido una dialéctica socio-espacial (Soja, 1993).…”

Este trabajo es un artículo sobre una investigación sociológica que alude a dos tareas principales: la primera es una discusión teórica sobre el espacio en la ciudad como moldeador de las relaciones sociales desde la sociología urbana y, la segunda, sobre las observaciones y resultados de un estudio en un barrio de la Ciudad de México que da cuenta del cambio de las dinámicas relacionales en la urbe. La metodología utilizada fue de corte cualitativo en el que se utilizaron entrevistas a profundidad, además de la obtención de evidencia visual. El principal resultado de esta discusión es que la ciudad actual moldea las relaciones entre individuos, sobre todo en el espacio citadino, en el cual ese mismo individuo no tiene la capacidad de intervenirlo de forma física, sino sólo de forma simbólica. Palabras claveEspacio Ciudad Relaciones sociales Sociología urbana Abstract Keywords Space City Social relations Urban sociologyThis research refers to two main tasks: the first is a theoretical discussion of space in the city as a molder of social relations from urban sociology and, second, on the observations and results of a study in a neighborhood of Mexico City that accounts for the change of relational dynamics in the city. The methodology used was qualitative in-depth interviews that were used in addition to obtaining visual evidence. The main result of this discussion is that the present city shapes relationships between individuals, especially in the urban space, in which the same individual does not have the capacity to intervene physically, but only in a symbolic way.

“…According to economist Homer Hoyt (1939), a city may develop in a series of sectors, not rings; different areas attract different activities by environmental factors or by chance, and as the city grows, activities within it grow outward in a wedge shape from the Central Business District (CBD) [64]. Based on human ecology theory, introduced by economist Ernest Burgess and applied to Chicago in 1925, the concentric zone model depicts urban land usage in concentric rings: (1) The center with the central business district; (2) The transition zone of mixed residential and commercial uses or the zone of transition; (3) Working-class residential homes (inner suburbs); (4) Better quality middle-class homes (outer suburbs); and (5) Commuter zone [65].…”

This study reviews the transit accessibility concept and describes its empirical application in Richmond, Virginia, USA. The transit accessibility concept involves multiple components. Each component has several measures; the selection of which measure to use depends on unique local circumstances. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and statistical tools are utilized in this study. It has been found that, although the Greater Richmond Transit Company (GRTC) provides a reasonably good transit service inside Richmond City, its existing hub-and-spoke transit system is not aligned well with new and complex travel patterns (including suburb-to-suburb travel patterns), and thus needs to be restructured in the near future.
