Integrated modelling for Sustainability Appraisal for Urban River Corridor (re)-development

The existing landscape characters of urban river corridor of Melaka City have eroded due to unsustainable design outcomes due to inadequate policies and guidelines, indiscriminate decision in design and it lacks of community consultation. In addition, political intervention and climate change have made it worse to the present urban river corridor of the city. These issues have raised concerns among the local community, particularly those workers whose livelihood depend on resources in that area. This paper reveals the distribution patterns and landscape settings of the urban river corridor of Melaka City which are significant among working communities. It also describes each landscape setting within the identified territory. The findings are determined via thematic coding analysis and overlay mapping technique based on the experiential landscape theory established by Thwaites and Simkins (2007). The combination of experiential landscapes from different individuals via overlay mapping analysis also provides insight into the communities’ urban river corridor boundary of the city, which is important in heritage-related policy

River Corridor

With the continuous progress of urbanization, as well as people increasingly focus on the quality of urban rivers close living environment impact, and the study of river corridor from theory to ecological engineering ecology, landscape ecology theory and expanding. While abroad urban river corridor landscape gradually deepened to include ecological restoration project, the integration landscape design, landscape planning and other regional ecological research focus at different levels. This article looks at foreign urban river landscape ecology studies preliminary analysis, the domestic urban river corridor Landscape study problems related outcomes received inspiration and abroad in order to promote domestic demand for urban river corridor landscape ecology concerns and multi-angle vertical depth research, and also on numerous rivers or river landscape planning and design play Ecological Engineering reference and guidance.
