Cikapayang River Park’s pedestrian area that’s less organised from ecological and environmental side. New cikapayang River Park aims to provide comfortable public space while utilizing river as mutually interconnected supporting component. Outer space Environmental order includes environmental order against outer order, Merdeka street corridor which’s restricted by Cikapayang river, Bandung City Hall, Cikapayang River and Merdeka street, also Cikapayang river purification. Previously, Cikapayang River Park’s a single function as sidewalk, after revitalization, it has additional function as better public open spaces also Cikapayang river restoration became basis of this research. Analytical descriptive method used as methodology through direct survey to Cikapayang River Park from changing environmental order into public open space, then associating survey results conditions, before and after revitalizing to literature as basis of theories and river purrification. Analysis results showed impact of revitalization on Cikapayang River Park’s creating positive outdoor space, so it can accommodate the people activities.

Public space is a place for social, economic and culture activity. Besides green open spaces, there are a lot of space along the river that have potential issues to be created as a public space. In fact, number of riversides are filled by slum area and there is no public space along the riparian. This research focused on the determining the chriterias of public space that support connectivity and incilining the number of activities. Theory that applied for this research is A Guide to Riverfront Development by Charles A. McLaren amd Public Space principle by Stephen Carr and Carmona. Kalijodo is one of the public spaces that will be studied because of its position faced in front of the river. Based on those theories, there are chitrerias that will be used to analyse the study casem which are comfort, activity, sociability, and more focus on access, including pedestrian access point, type and distribution of universal access and pedestrian priority. The result of this research could be summarised that physical access are attained by stairs and bridge that connect from river. Eventhough, Kalijodo must concern about visual access, addition of specific program to spread the activities and support by dense of vegetation to reach comfort.

The increasing numbers of people and buildings that continue to grow and tend to be uncontrolled in the settlement causing some negative impacts one of them is the consistency of land allotment. This has resulted in some impacts such as ineffective utilities and environmental infrastructures, no mitigation system, and the unavailability of space for public spaces and other supporting facilities that supposed to be available within a settlement. Kampung Arab is one of a densely populated settlements located in the middle of business center area of Manado City, occupies the Mahakam riverbank. The limited space available in Kampung Arab has caused the settlements tend to be slummed and doesn’t have public open space as one of the residential support facilities. In addition, this settlement expands riverbanks so the functions of riverbanks become disturbed, and these settlements are often at risk of flooding. The purpose of this research is to analyze the function of Mahakam riverbanks against flood risk and to analyze the possibility of public space and pedestrian ways availability at the location of Mahakam riverbanks around the Kampung Arab settlement. The research method is qualitative descriptive method. Primary data were obtained through field observation, documentation, and interviews. The research is located in Kampung Arab settlement which occupies the banks of Mahakam River. Further analysis is done: 1) analysis of existing settlement of Kampung Arab to the Mahakam River related to: building’s orientation, river border, activity and behavior of society 2] analysis of public open space availability and its former elements, 3] analysis of settlement utility system and at the final stage conducted an analysis related to community activities and behavior. Expected results through this research are: improving function and quality of Mahakam River, restoring the function of riverbanks and public open space availability as social interaction space.

Ruang publik merupakan ruang untuk melakukan kegiatan sosial, ekonomi, dan budaya. Selain ruang terbuka hijau, ruang sepanjang sungai juga mempunyai potensi untuk dijadikan sebagai sebagai ruang publik. Faktanya ruang sepanjang sungai hanya digunakan untuk permukiman liar dan tidak ada penyediaan ruang publik di dalamnya. Penelitian akan berfokus pada penentuan kriteria yang dibutuhkan untuk membentuk ruang publik di sekitar bantaran sungai dalam mendukung aksesibiltas dan peningkatan aktivitas. Teori yang akan digunakan ialah prinsip kawasan terintegrasi sungai (Charles A. McLaren - A Guide to Riverfront Development) dan teori Public Space oleh Stephen Carr dan Carmona. Tapak yang akan di analisis adalah ruang publik di Kawasan Kalijodo yang berbatasan langsung dengan air. Berdasarkan kedua teori yang digabungkan, kriteria yang akan digunakan dalam menganalisis objek studi adalah kenyamanan, aktivitas, sosiabilitas dan yang ditekankan ialah akses, meliputi titik akses pedestrian, tipe dan distribusi akses universal, dan prioritas pedestrian. Berdasarkan penelitian dapat disimpulkan akses secara fisikal sudah terpenuhi dengan adanya tangga dan jembatan penghubung dari sungai, namun harus mempertimbangkan akses secara visual, menambahkan program yang spesifik agar pemetaan merata dan ditunjang dengan vegetasi yang lebih rapat untuk mendukung kenyamanan.Kata kunci: aktivitas, aksesibilitas, ruang publik, bantaran sungai Title: Relation of Activity and Connectivity of Kalijodo as a Public Space Public space is a place for social, economic and culture activity.

Full textAbstract:
Cairo is a congested city with high rate of urbanization and very limited public space. Cairo has one of the lowest rates of parkland per capita of any major city. Moreover, the banks of the Nile, formerly alive with activities such as washing, fishing, and felucca landings, were by the end of the twentieth century largely cutoff from free public access by a wall of busy roads, private clubs, luxury hotels, restaurants, nurseries, and police/military stations, roads. The need for open space for people from lower income who could not afford the expensive options along the Nile banks, has resulted in use of the sidewalks of the main bridges as public spaces. Families, couples, and friends tolerate the noise and fumes of traffic to enjoy the expansive views and breezes over the Nile. As a result of this extraordinary re-purposing of the bridges, new small businesses have formed to cater to the uses, and a new interaction with the river has emerged. We studied the patterns of use, characteristics of the user population, and stated preferences of users. We identify a set of characteristics contributing to the popularity of the bridges as public space, including affordability, accessibility, openness to the river and visual connection with the other bank. We propose that these characteristics be taken into account when developing future projects along the river water front to address the need for public space and access to the Nile.

In China, the popularization of motorized transportation has made the contradiction between citizens’ desire to access water and traffic demands in cross-river areas difficult to deal with. Studying on the transportation and space systems from three layers of city across the river, district across the river and bridge across the river, this paper provides several modes of motorized transportation to keep harmony with and give support to the cross-river public activities. The research on the layer of city proposes suggestions on city planning and policies, while research on the layer of district summarizes several strategies on urban design within the cross-river area. The last part of research on the layer of bridge presents modes for reference on the public space on bridge and the connection between bridge and transportation systems.

. Public open space performs an important role to enhance the quality of community living as well as being beneficial in maintaining the ecosystem. It is also having a prominent role in disaster risk management applied to densely populated settlements. Nevertheless, social awareness about the essential role and utilization of green open space is still a concern. The aim of this paper is to deliberate the result of the river banks potential analysis that serves as a green open space and communal space. This study is conducted by the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) methods, which was carried out in collaboration with the local community group, to asses the potency of green open space at Nagrikaler, Purwakarta Regency, Indonesia. The result shows that community empowerment in optimizing public space, requires a critical awareness process for the local community to maintain environmental sustainability and social interaction. It is also shows the mapping of green open space at the village. The results from this study is being used as guidelines for designing green open spaces with community architecture methods based on the needs of the local community.

Full textAbstract:
Although the issue of urban waterfront is not entirely new, it still represents a very vivid topic. Urban waterfronts have for long been standing in the forefront of many architects and organizations, who are aware of their value and the potential a watercourse carries within the urban interior. A watercourse is an interconnecting element between the urban development and the surrounding countryside and urban waterfronts are the intermediaries of communication. It is exactly in their area where the city - a purely human product with an inner structure and order defined by humans - meets the element of water, which is a purely natural component.What influences the urban structure most is, however, the presence of water in its very basic form i.e. in the form of a river. Its significance and effect on the public space and the inner relations within the body of the settlement vary with the size and the width of the flow, character of the waterfront, architectural layout of the riverbanks and its current utilization. Urban river works as a communication element which meets with the natural features. It seems to be unnatural to define a waterfront space like mono-functional site. This space denies the very essence of the waterfront and the city’s inhabitants appear as unattractive. In this case the very attractive element of water is unable to urban residents to attract together. In general, the quality of the public space is determined by the degree of its utilization by a wider group of inhabitants. It is the inhabitants themselves who imprints the concept of a public space to empty urban spaces.The present form of urban waterfronts is a result of the historical development, attitude and mental state of the society. The architectural appearance of not only the waterfront but also all public spaces is a reflection of the current social values. It gives evidence about the character of the society, the present economic system, the state and thinking of the contemporary era.

Full textAbstract:
The degradation of urban natural spaces reduces their ability to benefit human populations. Restoration can support urban sustainability by improving both the ecological health of these spaces and the public benefits they provide, but studies rarely combine both perspectives. We assessed the ecological and social benefits of an urban river restoration project relative to an unrestored river on the basis of the following four principles: Increasing ecological integrity; benefitting and engaging society; taking account of the past and future; and sustainability. Ecological health at each site was assessed by analyzing macroinvertebrate samples. The social benefits were measured by conducting focus groups with local users of green spaces surrounding the two rivers and comparing their responses. Restoration increased the ecological health of the river and was viewed positively by users, enhancing the river as a space to visit for psychological benefits. However, there were concerns over the erasure of the cultural heritage of the area. Our findings indicate that the long-term sustainability of restoration projects, particularly in urban areas, can be enhanced by integrating ecological and social dimensions. Although short-term ecological improvements may be small, they have the potential to provide a range of benefits for human populations.

Lately when rainfall in West Java is quite high, the problem of flooding caused by overflowing of the river has always been a trending topic of regional leaders. Whatever the causes of flooding, be it because a lot of waste dumped in rivers or due to illegal logging of trees in the forest, the river water discharge increased rapidly, and overflowed into public housing. Based on the above, it should be made a model that can predict the water discharge of the river from time to time in various locations in West Java. In this paper will be presented studies Space Time Auto Regression models STAR (1,1) to model the problem of water discharge some rivers in West Java, which can be useful for predicting the discharge of river water in the future. By using Least Squares Method as predictors for the parameters, as well as assuming a uniform weighting matrix, the result that the water discharge of a river in addition affected by the river water flow at an earlier time, it is also influenced by the discharge of river water around.

Full textAbstract:
The rapid process of urbanization has led to water pollution, reduction of space areas and channel deposition. However, current river protection and management levels are not suitable for city development level and human demand. Therefore, these problems have not yet been solved. China is still in an era of rapid urbanization, which means that the influence of urbanization in rivers will increase in the future—and the task of river protection and management will be more arduous. In order to meet the challenges and opportunities brought by urbanization and promote the sustainable use and management of river, this study puts forward relevant suggestions on river protection and management, such as river management mechanisms, economic incentive instruments, technical support, transformation of development concepts, improving laws, regulations and policies and stimulating public participation.

The Sustainable Development Goals 5 and 11, as well as the New Urban Agenda, emphasize gender equity and safe, resilient, and inclusive cities. The ‘safe cities’ idea for women includes their equal right to the city and public places within it, which includes their right to be mobile in the city at any time of the day, as well as their right to loiter in public spaces without any threats of harassment or sexual violence. These issues have gained importance in urban planning and design in contemporary India. This article is an assessment of how safe Ahmedabad city’s largest public space, the Sabarmati Riverfront, is for women. Ahmedabad, a city in western India, has long carried an image of a safe city for women. The Sabarmati Riverfront is over 22 km in length, 11 km on both sides of the river. This assessment is made through mapping of space use disaggregated by sex and age at four different time points throughout the day and of 100 women’s accounts of the experience of harassment on using the space. The article concludes with specific recommendations on proposed activities and space design along the riverfront to make these spaces safe for women throughout the day.

Many cities have rediscovered and reinvented their river fronts as public spaces in recent years. From New York to Seoul, urban waterways which were forgotten, marginalized, or outright abandoned are now filled with life. In each case the transformation was spurred by a combination of grass roots, bottom-up initiative and savvy government recognition of the projects’ potentials. Once the city leaders embraced the projects - and not a moment sooner - public and private funding materialized and bureaucratic barriers disappeared. In Rome, whether due to the complexity of the chain of responsibility for the river front, or simply an ingrained aversion to progressive planning - saying no or saying nothing is much easier than taking responsibility for positive change - initiatives to renew the urban riverfront have been small and disconnected. Diverse interests ranging from green space to water transit, from river front commerce to ecological restoration, have all vied for a role in the river’s regeneration. But one particular discipline, that of art, has succeeded more than others in attracting international attention and changing the way people in Rome and throughout the (art) world see the Tiber. Artist William Kentridge, with his project ‘Triumphs and Laments’, using the simple technique of selective cleaning of the Tiber embankment walls, revealed to the world a procession of figures which populate the riverfront with a life that it hasn’t seen in centuries.

Successfully guiding the transition of space within shrinking cities presents a challenge to public administrators, urban designers, and planners faced with developing policies and practices to cope with declining conditions. This project examines a particular site, “The Flats,” the waterfront area of the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland, Ohio, and asks how assumptions about desirable uses have shifted over time. Henry Lefebvre’s notion of “trial by space” is adapted to create a heuristic tool for highlighting the implications of alternative land uses along two axes: domination and appropriation. Historic postcards, interviews with administrators, and recent planning documents for the Flats are analyzed to highlight values embedded in past spatial practices and proposed land uses. Finally, we suggest that the trial by space model is applicable beyond shrinking cities and can operate as a tool with which not only scholars but also policy makers, administrators, politicians, planners, and citizens can assess the implications of administrative plans and land use proposals.

According to researches on mechanism and concept of off-stream ecological water demand, off-stream ecological water demand of Fu River Basin is consist of ecological water demand for soil and water conservation and for urban public green space, considering the current situation and planning objectives of off-stream ecological water demand of Fu River Basin. Directly calculation method is employed in this study. Choosing 2005 as the current year in this study, indicators of public green space and soil erosion data are obtained. Then the ecological water demand of urban public green space in Fuzhou City is determined as 0.438×108m3 and the water demand for off-stream soil and water conservation in Fu River Basin is determined as 0.3159×108m3 in virtue of quota method. The off-stream ecological water demand in the Basin (2005 as the current year) is about 0.359×108m3. The determination of the off-stream ecological water demand in the basin provide a scientific basis on taking a variety of water-saving measures, improving the recovery rate of sewage treatment and increasing the off-stream ecological water consumption. Results of this study will make the ecological environment of this area to achieve a healthy state, and shall greatly improve regional water resources and water environmental situation.

The objective of this study is to re-evaluate the conceptualisation of super levees by focussing on the availability of open spaces as evacuation areas along the Arakawa River. By using land use, occupation and cross-section analysis, this study found that open spaces on super levees able to accommodate a large number of evacuees. This proves that the development of super levees is undeniably ready to provide sizeable safe upland evacuation area for nearby residents. This study also implies that the future development of super levee should include more open space by the development of a public park on the site.

ABSTRACT This study examines attitudes toward urban green space among homeowners in the River Rouge Watershed of southeast Michigan. Trees play a significant role in urban areas by providing numerous environmental, economic and social benefits to community residents. But public attitudes toward trees are not well understood. Through survey research we found that residents are most likely to value trees for personal benefit (like shade) but that social reasons are also valuable (improving the neighborhood). We also illustrate that cost is not an impeding factor in willingness to plant trees. Finally, our study reveals that homeowners felt tree planting is both an individual responsibility as well as a government responsibility. On the basis of these findings, we recommend that urban forestry policy should focus on education and outreach in an attempt to marry tree-planting initiatives to the individual benefits of trees as well as the community benefits of urban green space.

Open space is essential part of city life because it provides an opportunity for recreation, playing, religious activities, political activities, cultural activities and so on. This paper discusses the types of open space and its distribution in Pokhara Lekhanath Metropolitan City (PLMC). An inventory of open spaces was prepared based on the available analog maps with intensive field verification. There are eight major and 32 subtypes of open spaces with a total number of 246 within the PLMC. The main types of open spaces are park, playground, religious site, water surface, cave, aesthetic view point, river strip and messy places. Those open spaces vary in form, size, ownership and functions. The distribution of open spaces is not uniform among the 33 Wards in the Pokhara Lekhanath Metropolitan City. The number of open space varies from only one to twenty-one and total area of open space varies from only 51 ha to 4786 ha among those Wards. Per capita area of open space ranges from 0.16 to 659 m² among those wards. In many wards, per capita area of open space is less than 9 m² which is recommended by FAO. Such a poor situation is created mainly due to the lack of public land use planning, encroachment in open space for development of infrastructure such as public buildings, and lack of knowledge about the importance of open spaces among decision makers and local people and weak capacity of local people to protect and conserve open space from encroachment.The Geographical Journal of NepalVol. 11: 25-44, 2018

Each region has the potential to be explored as a source of income without necessarily harming people and the environment. One of them is the utilization of public space as a media campaign or advertisement. The advertisement placement should be planned to have a function, adding the aesthetic aspect of urban space and not disturbing the comfort and safety of the community. Promotional media can take advantage of active and passive outdoor space. The active outer space is a space that is deliberately created as a public outdoor space such as city park, pedestrian and road. While the passive outer space is a outer space that is not accidentally created or already exist by it, such as river banks, railroads and natural green spaces. Promotional media nowadays is not only in physical, but also in electronic form. Placement of advertisement associated with the tax burden. The amount of tax can be determined from road performance. Where the more crowded the urban space, the more people see the advertisement. This can certainly be used as one of the parameters in determining which points are having the biggest impact on tax value.

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to identify methods of structural and spatial changes within the existing urban riparian areas. As a result of the research, the need to rethink the attitude to urban planning in general, and within the river space in particular, was formulated. The task is to revitalize the territory within the water area by creating public spaces, restoring the ecological framework through the introduction of ecological clusters and creating green corridors, maintaining economic activity based on industry, with its partial transformation, maintaining the existing system of spaces and structures and their partial redevelopment. Results. The potential of sustainable development of riparian areas in the context of the formation of recreational space in its structure as a result of renovation is revealed. Methods of structural and planning transformations within the water area have been developed. A model of structural transformation of the river space within the city is being built, on the basis of which the identified principles of rehabilitation of the territory are being tested. The significance of the obtained results lies in the development of new approaches to the formation of a holistic recreational river structure; in the formulation of the basic principles underlying the structural and planning transformations and the construction of a model of urban renovation of the riparian zone. The study used grapho-analytical methods, as well as the study and analysis of foreign and domestic experience in the renovation and revitalization of riverside industrial areas. The study analyzed the master plan of the city, identified functional areas within the river space. Conclusion. The expediency of rehabilitation of the territory, introduction of new, actual functions determines the economic, social, cultural, psychological and aesthetic development of the city.

Abstract: The urban kampong is a phenomenon created by the uncontrolled growth of the city and the inappropriate use of land. The city of Yogyakarta is known as a city of culture and tourism, inhabited by communities living around the city center. The area around downtown Yogyakarta has a high population density, so that almost all roads and rivers are filled with settlements (kampong), leaving a small portion for urban open spaces. Kampung Badran is a kampong-kota located in the center of economic activity of Yogyakarta city. Uncontrolled land use in the kampong Badran produces displaced space among the houses. The effort to transform displaced space into public spaces is an alternative to creating public spaces for citizens. The purpose of the research is the direction of optimization of multifunctional public space design that is suitable with the needs of Badran villagers. The results of the design optimization of displaced space were positive, that is, the public space became active, increased in quality and beneficial to the citizens because it suited their needs.Keywords: urban kampong, displaced space, public space, optimization.Abstrak: Kampung kota merupakan fenomena yang tercipta akibat dari pertumbuhan kota yang tidak terkendali dan pemanfaatan lahan yang tidak sesuai peruntukan. Kota Yogyakarta dikenal sebagai kota budaya dan pariwisata, dihuni komunitas masyarakat yang tinggal di sekitar pusat kota. Kawasan sekitar pusat kota Yogyakarta memiliki tingkat kepadatan penduduk yang tinggi, sehingga hampir semua tepian jalan dan sungai terisi permukiman (kampung), dan menyisakan sebagian kecil untuk ruang terbuka kota. Kampung Badran merupakan kampung-kota terletak di pusat kegiatan ekonomi kota Yogyakarta. Penggunaan lahan yang tidak terkendali di kampung Badran menghasilkan lahan-lahan terlantar di antara rumah-rumah warga. Upaya mengubah lahan terlantar menjadi ruang publik merupakan alternatif menciptakan ruang publik bagi warga. Tujuan penelitian adalah arahan optimasi desain ruang publik multifungsi yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan warga kampung Badran. Hasil optimasi desain lahan terlantar ternyata positif, yaitu ruang publik menjadi aktif, meningkat kualitasnya dan bermanfaat bagi warga karena cocok dengan kebutuhan mereka.Kata kunci: kampung kota, lahan terlantar, ruang publik, optimasi

On January 18, 2011, the Museo Arte de Luz opened along Santiago’s Mapocho River. Developed by artist Catalina Rojas and the Santiago municipal government to mark Chile’s 2010 bicentenary, the light-art museum proposed to revitalize the river as a public space by converging heritage, contemporary art, and citizenship. Yet controversy lurked behind the newly gleaming lights: museum preparations included the erasure of several large graffiti murals painted along the canal walls. This article examines how the installation of the Museo Arte de Luz systematically removed graffiti muralism from the Mapocho River, drawing out deeper cultural tensions entangled in this aesthetic dispute. It analyses three interconnected discourses about the museum’s desired impact on the river—environmental regeneration, historical restoration, and symbolic recuperation—to illustrate how the erasure corresponds to official narratives of renewal. Ultimately, through its contradictions, this public art replacement raises important questions about public authority and cultural value in Chile.

The Malaysian riparian buffer strip is also called the river reserve. As the state authority has the right to reserve state land for public purposes, there is high prospect to preserve green space in urban areas. Urban riparian, however, has been used only for bank stabilization, biodiversity, and water quality purposes. Prior studies verified that vegetated riparian minimises outdoor thermal condition, in comparison to impervious surface areas. Strategic distribution of green space and cooling sources in city planning are vital for maximum efficiency of green strategies. Hence, this paper determined the cooling effect potential of urban riparian structure on local thermal environment by investigating three river reserve areas. Thermal measurements were recorded at six locations perpendicular to the riverbank at 20m intervals, along with a census of vegetation formation. Although the riparian zoning was located along the same river, different widths and various vegetation formations affected thermal distribution. The ΔTioutcomes indicated that despite the small and restricted green space allocated in urban areas, the cooling effect was still present. Hence, green strategies must be carefully crafted to maximize use of space. The effects of urban riparian structure generate the multi-functions of urban river reserve, especially its cooling effect.

Klotok as a river transportation mode is interesting to study. However, not much research focuses on how the role of klotok as a mode of transportation can attract tourists. Klotok becomes an icon as a river tourism icon because it presents a uniqueness for the audience. This study aims to describe how the role of klotok and its existence for the Banjar community. Interviews were conducted with three community groups, namely: klotok owners, traders, and visitors to the Siring Menara Pandang tourist destination. This is intended to provide a complete description of the function of klotok as a mode of water transportation, especially in river areas. The results of the study describe how klotok as a mode of water transportation is moored on the edge of the Martapura River, precisely Siring Menara Pandang. The choice of location is because Siring Menara Pandang is a public space that is used as well as a tourist destination. Revitalizing the river by prioritizing the river as a selling price to tourists has positioned klotok as a vital mode of transportation. Based on its development, klotok not only acts as a mode of river transportation but also as a choice of entertainment attractions for river tourism

Recent investigations at Cahal Pech, Belize, documented a previously unrecognized Middle Preclassic (700–500 cal BC) E-Group complex. Located in an open public plaza, the monumental complex likely functioned as a forum for communal public events. In the Late Preclassic, the E-Group was replaced by an ancestor shrine where several royal tombs are located, as well as buildings separating public civic space from private elite space. These shifts in monumental construction temporally track the development of ideological manifestations of power and provide evidence for the formalization of dynastic rulership by an emerging elite class.

Full textAbstract:
Recife is an amphibious city whose urban development does not value its rivers. In the past, the city’s main watercourse, the river Capibaribe, was understood to play a key role in structuring urban spaces and providing connectivity. Since then, this understanding has dwindled, and the resulting situation is a cause of great concern. Recife City has turned its back on the banks of its rivers and neglected both their capacity to smooth and shape urban space, and their potential to create a coherent image of the city. Recife is one of those cities in the world that are most vulnerable to climate change, ranking 16th in the list of world hotspots. In order to confront these challenges and rethink the role of the river that runs in the heart of Recife, researchers, architects, engineers, and sociologists from Research and Innovation for Cities — Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (INCITI-UFPE) were invited by the Recife City Hall to draw up plans for a park stretching along the river’s banks. Capibaribe Park Project attempts to answer one key question: How can we use the river to transform the city? The park project is based on a structural approach to landscape and is guided by the precepts of sustainability and regeneration of public spaces, in line with the emerging paradigm that combines a cross-disciplinary and cross-sector approach with water-sensitive design and social participation. The present article presents an overview of the main characteristics and development of this project, its theoretical and methodological underpinnings, its contribution to society, and the results achieved so far. It shows how, in addition to the planned park, the project also envisages the installation of a much more extensive system of parks, as a first stage towards the creation of park-city by the 500th anniversary of the foundation of Recife, in 2037.

The Nile, in general, and particularly in Cairo, is an ecological, cultural and social corridor that is not yet fully utilized. The 2011 Cairo workshop “Connecting Cairo to the Nile” identified the potential to increase accessibility to the river, suggested longitude trail system, proposed connecting the waterfront with adjacent neighborhoods and proposed expanding the ferry system. I studied a 2-km reach of the east bank in Maadi, a wealthy suburb about 10 km upstream of the city center, with relatively greener banks, availability of resources at the district level, higher awareness of local residents, physical setting allow for banks re-use, existence of community organizations (i.e. Tree Lovers and Midan). Findings of fieldwork and interviews show that: (i) species of native vegetation found are Phoenix Dactylifera, Jacaranda, Cortedarea and Papyrus alba; these are concentrated along 115 meter in southern part of the study area. (ii) Public access was categorized into: public space (accessible), private or semi-public space (accessible with conditions), and prohibited (inaccessible). Along this representative stretch of the Nile, the public access was limited to 16%, the private or semi-public makes 29% and the prohibited zones are 55%. (iii) Boating operations found to be in three categories, floating hotels (Nile cruises), motor boats (including ferries) and sailing boats, all are scattered along the banks without an overall plan or organization, which affects water flow and block public access to the banks. To better develop the banks, I recommend (i) maintaining existing riparian vegetation and expand it to other areas with healthy banks or planted nurseries, (ii) connecting open public spaces to create a pleasant walking trail along the banks in addition to improving public access by relocating government buildings (such as the police or military facilities) and facilitate access to the river for general public, (iii) reducing the anchoring points to two locations and redistribute boating operations to group all motor boats to use the ferry anchoring points and all the sailing boats to use Al-Yacht club marina.

This paper aims to determine the form, type, and utilization of public open space in the urban kampung and see the extent of tolerance in it. Limited land does not make the urban kampung stop providing public open space for its citizens. For this reason, three samples of urban villages were chosen that are considered to represent the characteristics of urban kampungs in the city of Surakarta. The three kampungs are Pringgolayan Village which is the center of several home industries, Karengan Village is a village on the banks of the Solo River, and Mloyokusuman Village is a traditional kampung within Beteng Keraton.
This research was conducted by direct observation and interviews with key informants. The results obtained from this study are that there are various types, forms, and uses of public open space in urban villages. As well as the high level of tolerance in the use of public open space in urban kampung so that although there is limited land, conflict tends to be minimal.

In the modernization process since China’s reform and liberalization, urban and village space design is reflected in the characteristics of Western cultures. The idea of Western space design has a profound influence on China, but the piecemeal individuation of art design, the disorderly public art modeling and concept, not only interferes with the aesthetic sense of urban and village public space itself, but also seriously affected the landscape order of public space. In fact, Chinese traditional settlement landscape excels in abundant landscape design and spatial sequence. This paper, using the methods of literature discussion, field research and spatial analysis, takes the typical traditional landscape settlement “Xinye Village” (新葉村) in the south of the Yangtze River as an example, and explores its public landscape order as a whole, and finds its spatial structure based on the “Five Elements and Nine Divisions (五行九宮)” cultural schemata. In the process of development, it has experienced the competition of public space, thus forming a stable and sustainable spatial order form. The purpose is to explore the cultural schema of the public landscape from the traditional Chinese settlement, and to put forward the possibility of “constructing the public landscape order based on culture” in future urban and village landscape design.

Numerous cities of Ukraine passed similar historical stages of spatial development, as a result of gradual withdrawal from the rivers. Now the design development of these cities is aimed at restructuring and reclamation of the degraded riverside territories. Cities again return to their roots by seeking the effective means for solving spatial, social and economical problems. Competitiveness of cities is conditioned also by the urban development preferences. The degraded territories have become a potential for the new functional filling and a reserve for searching for a new identity of cities.
The planning of development of riverside territories of the city should take place in the interconnection with the neighboring settlements that are situated in the river valley, since they form the united eco-system of the river basin. A considerable influence on the development of riverside territories have socio-economic conditions. With the help of the architectural-planning means it is possible to regulate the state of the river’s eco-system and to preserve the balance between the nature and anthropogenic influence. V. M. Vadimov sets aside typical models of cities’ development on the riverside territories, where one can observe the interconnection of the planning of city and the river.
By analysing the influence of the rivers on the development of the Ukrainian cities of Luts’k, Ternopil’, Vinnytsia and Chernivtsi one can follow in general the fragmentarity of approaches to modernisation of river embankments, heterogeneity of riverside territories (conservation of a considerable areas of river banks in the natural state and urbanization and various functional use of embankments in some cities), in some places restricted access to the river (is cut off by the private territories), neglected state and outdated conditioning of the riverside spaces. In general, in the analysed Ukrainian cities, transformations of riverside territories are taking place fragmentarily. At present there are no complex developments on formation of the united riverside public space, which would be united by the system of pedestrian connections.

The riverbank is an effective component of the city-river interconnection, and any damage that occurs to it affects its natural structure and particularly its ecological values. Most of these problems are diagnosable and observable in the riverside space, and many studies have focused on them. The emergence of these problems may appear in varying proportions in the riverbank environment depending on the type of human intervention, both in urban and non-urban spaces, which may have a negative impact on the riverbank space. In light of this, studies have been directed towards exploring different ecological strategies that should be applied on the urban riverbank space, which work in an integrated manner with many other values to restore the natural characteristics of landscape and riverbank space and reduce the impact of negative human intervention in them. The main research problem is defined in the loss of the ecological value of riverbanks in cities in general and Baghdad city in particular, and the lack of knowledge concerning the ecological strategies in riverbanks on the planning and design levels. The main objective of the research was thus to draw the theoretical framework that extracts the strategies and indicators of the landscape ecology.The theoretical framework was then applied to the edge of the Tigris River in Baghdad (as a case study), that resembles the area and park of Abu Nuwas region in Baghdad, with the aim of further diagnosing the reality of the riverbank and the extent to which ecological strategies can be applied.The results of the research in both its theoretical and practical aspects have revealed a clear approach to ecological strategies that achieve riverbank ecology and the development of specific mechanisms to provide a safe and effective river environment that accommodates various events and uses in the river bank, and enhances public awareness of its importance

In urban area, making the attractive public spaces is effective one way of creating a public life or increasing the value of area. In Japan, there have been many public spaces which are not well used because the flexible utilization of public spaces including road, park and river has been limited due to some regulations. However, in accordance with the revision of “Act on Special Measures concerning Urban Reconstruction” and so on, stakeholders have been able to review the making public spaces which are stimulated flexibility use because the utilization of public spaces have been permitted by private business operators or locally area management association. In case of practical and tactical public space making, it is necessary to gain a public consensus through stakeholders discuss what kind of good effect will be made by the alteration of public spaces by communication. Therefore, it is effective to visualize based on the data verification and accumulate the results for short-term and temporary alteration of public spaces such as social experiment. At the same time, integrating the consideration of thermal environment and wind condition will contribute to make more attractive public spaces. Therefore, this study aims obtaining the basic data necessary for making the attractive public spaces considering thermal environment and wind condition in Saitama New Urban Center Area which is central business zones. Specifically, this study progressed via the following steps: 1) activity investigation; 2) thermal environmental and wind condition survey and numerical simulation results; 3) analyzing the relationship between 1) and 2). In addition, it attempts to make analysis focusing strong wind for high-rise building because the high-rise buildings are lined in many parts of Saitama New Urban Center Area. Also, these results are intended to make use of designing attractive public spaces in Saitama New Urban Center Area.

Full textAbstract:
Contamination of rivers with persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is an issue of current global concern. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are POPs with origin from commercial, incineration and industrial sources. Hence, there is a need for monitoring their occurrence and distribution in the environment. This study assessed the occurrence, distribution and composition profiles of PCBs in River Niger, Nigeria. Surface and bottom water samples were collected in consecutive quarters for a period of 2 years, covering the beginning and end of the rainy seasons and the dry seasons, from five locations (Gurara, Lokoja, Onitsha, Brass and Nicolas) along River Niger. A total of 240 water samples were collected using a Van Dorn water sampler. EPA method 3510c was used with slight modifications for sample preparation and analysis. The PCBs were analysed using a Hewlett Packard GC 5890 Series 11 with electron capture detection, and confirmation was made using a Shimadzu GCMS QP2010. The higher molecular weight marker PCBs (∑CB 138, 153 and 180) were more dominant than the lighter homologues (∑CB 28, 52 and 101), while commercial sources Co-PCBs (80.8 ± 61.7 to 288.3 ± 102.0 ng L−1) were more dominant than the incineration sources (34.9 ± 3.82 to 75.5 ± 65.2 ng L−1). The POPs load in River Niger water varied in both time and space. In surface water of the River Niger, ∑PCBs were higher during the rainy season, as a result of storm run-off from land-based sources. In the Brass and Nicolas Rivers during the dry season, the ∑PCBs were higher during low tide. There was no noticeable pattern during the rainy season. It may be concluded from this study that the water of River Niger is not good for human consumption or abstraction of water from the river for drinking water treatment.

Full textAbstract:
Bandung City Government is ranked the 3rd in smart city index in Indonesia only within 8 months of smart city application. Considering this achievement, it is necessary to study this fast-tracking success of smart city to enable a lesson learnt for other local governments. Hence, this research aims at evaluating the best practices of smart environment program as one of smart city projects and analyzing the positive transformation being brought. The analysis will be based on three core activities in smart environment: (1) the creation of thematic parks as open public spaces; (2) the restoration and the revitalization of rivers and its river banks; (3) urban gardening or urban farming. Combined with the result of extensive of literature review, this research will apply eight (8) aspects of smart environment. These aspects are (1) The Provision of Public Open Space; (2) Good Waste Management; (3) Slum Areas Management; (4) The Revitalization of River; (5) Eliminate “Chopsticks Syndrome” in Building Construction; (6) Alternative energy; (7) Reducing the Production of CO2; (8) Urban Farming.
A qualitative research method were used in this research. The analysis of this research is a comparative analysis, with the use of smart city best practices in other cities in other countries as the benchmark. Seven local government work units/departments/agencies of Bandung Citywhich play important role as the leading sectors of the smart environment program were the key resources of this research. The data were collected from 30 interviews. This research gave its reader a new perspective in understanding the concept and the practices of smart city in the public administration perspective.

Full textAbstract:
The practice of enhancing existing rivers and creating entirely new waterscapes has exploded in China over the past two decades. In our study of 104 randomly selected cities across China, we identified 14 types of river projects based on grey literature reports and their appearance on sequential aerial imagery, falling into three categories: ‘engineering’, ‘waterfront spaces’ and ‘ecological’ projects. ‘Waterfront spaces’ is the most common (60.5%), followed by ‘engineering’ (28.7%) and ‘ecological’ (10.8%). Using multiple stepwise regression, we found that the types of projects undertaken were strongly influenced by factors such as climate, social-economic setting, and ‘Landscape Garden City’ designation. Designation as a ‘Landscape Garden City’ was correlated with ‘waterfront spaces’, but not ‘engineering’ and ‘ecological’ projects. We found that cities in drier climates (as measured by ‘precipitation minus evaporation’) constructed more projects and they included many projects that impounded seasonal rivers to create year-round water bodies. Based on our results, we conclude that Chinese cities are still in the process of ‘decorating’ rivers, and that the ‘Landscape Garden City’ designation promoted such ‘decorating’ projects, especially ‘linear greening’ projects and ‘public spaces along rivers’. The results also demonstrate that the new river projects in China are often at odds with the local climate.
