Visual Survey

This study aims to examine the state of decline in the art of relationship between the urban river and all other elements in the historic townscape using principles of the Integrative Theory with the purpose to identify what binds townscape together and gives its sense of place and what causes the rupture. A qualitative-method case study was conducted in the Masjid India Riverfront District involving a visual survey, townscape appraisal, and content analysis on the morphology of the historic riverfront. The results show that the rupture between townscape and river as context is a product of poor walkability in a riverfront devoid of any setting for meaningful human activities, and the key to reweave the historic townscape is to rediscover what gives its meaning and sense of place.

Communication Programs

95% of the causes of climate change (CC), according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), are rooted from human activities. Raising community awareness is, thus, the primary solution to the issue. This research aims to develop communication programs to raise public awareness of CC, a case study in Thuan An District. The context, object properties, information gaps, and communication demand, etc. have been surveyed and documented. Thereby, the CC communication programs were proposed, including: objectives, messages, media, and compatible communication activities, etc. The communication materials (manuals, posters, training books, etc.) were also compiled accordingly. This model can be expanded in other areas, contributing to improvement of managers’ awareness and management capacity, and then being more proactive in coping to the current situation of CC in the province.
