AbstrakKota Bandung merupakan salah satu kota penting sejak masa penjajahan Belanda. Berawal dari sebuah kampung, Bandung kemudian berkembang seiring dengan kedudukannya sebagai pusat pemerintahan. Penelitian terhadap perkembangan Bandung sudah banyak dilakukan. Namun, aspek morfologis dari pertumbuhan Kota Bandung belum dikaji secara mendalam. Bagaimana pertumbuhan Kota Bandung pada Abad XX ditinjau dari aspek morfologi kota yang mencakup masalah kependudukan dan luas wilayah, areal terbangun, dan simbol kota? Untuk menjawab pertanyaan itu, dilakukan penelitian historis dengan menerapkan metode sejarah yang meliputi empat tahap, yakni heuristik, kritik, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pertama, secara morfologis terdapat hubungan yang erat antara pertambahan penduduk dan perluasan wilayah kota; kedua, seiring dengan pertumbuhan penduduk dan perluasan wilayah, areal terbangun menjadi semakin meluas; ketiga, simbol-simbol kota yang mencakup tugu atau monumen, nama jalan, gerbang kota, dan bangunan menunjukkan ciri/karakter Kota Bandung sesuai dengan jiwa zaman (zeitgeist)-nya.Kata kunci: kota Bandung, penduduk, areal terbangun, ruang terbuka, simbol kotaAbstractBandung is one of the important cities since the Dutch colonial period. Starting from a village, Bandung then developed along with its position as a center of government. Research on the development of Bandung city has been done, but the morphological aspects of the growth of Bandung city have not been studied in depth yet. How is the growth of Bandung city in 20th century in terms of morphological aspects of the city that includes demographic land area, city planning problems, built up area, and the symbol of the city? The method used in this reasearch is historical method that deals with four steps, namely heuristic, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The results show that, first, morphologically there is a close relationship between population growth and the expansion of urban areas; second, along with population growth and the expansion of urban areas, the built up area becomes even more widespread; third, urban symbolism that includes pillar or monument, street name, city gates, and buildings show traits or characters of Bandung in accordance with zeitgeist.Keywords: city of Bandung, demography, built up Area, open space, urban symbolism

City planning, decision-making and participation in local administration can be sometimes elitist, closed to the public and non-participatory processes. Citizens are frequently a neglected part of these activities and are usually only involved and considered prior to elections. Yet citizens have a relevant role in the processes of town planning and administration. This paper describes the implementation of a web-based crowdsourcing tool for the collection and visualisation of emotion-based and subjective information on maps. The tool was used in a case study of neighbourhood development consultation in the city of Příbram, the Czech Republic. Visual, textual and statistical analyses showed a similar spatial distribution of some topics within the Křižáky neighbourhood and provide results, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches in the process of e-participation in urban e-planning. The results presented in this paper allow replication of the research methodology in other areas as well as its implementation.

Aim. The aim is to justify the application of the landscape approach in urban planning on the basis of theoretical concepts of landscape studies and the requirements of urban planning practices. Discussion. The basic scheme of the landscape approach is to study the natural and anthropogenic landscape as a complex geosystem consisting of a complex of various components which form the planning structure of the city. In territorial and urban planning, the structure and properties of natural and urban landscapes are revealed using functional, historical-genetic, morphotypic, geo-ecological and visual research methods. Abroad, a similar trend is called "landscape urbanism", the theoretical basis of which is based on the understanding that the best option for the organization of urban areas should be based on the landscape features of the city. With the use of the above-mentioned approaches, an urban landscape approach is being formed, a new nature-urban planning system which, in addition to natural complexes, includes man-made structures: buildings, infrastructure, parks and squares. If the natural landscape is a self-regulating geo-system, then the urban one is controlled by man. When taking actions to transform natural landscapes should be taken into account their structure and functioning, as well as the limits of possible impacts and the likely consequences of these changes. Conclusion. The demand for a landscape approach is constantly growing as a result of the significant transformation of modern cities, the replacement of architectural styles, the growth of urban space and communications, the desire to improve the quality of the urban environment and the comfort of the urban population.

This Study is an empiric- analytical research in city planning discipline was conducted in Sulaymaniyah city from Dec. 2015 until July 2017. Geographically Sulaymaniah situates north-east of Republic of Iraq. Like many other urban centers, Sulaymaniyah city as one of the congested urban areas in Kurdistan Region, is almost over populated and congested, resulting in accumulated problems in health-, economical-, services, technical-, social- and planning affairs, which leads to permanent degrading of the natural, and social environment and thus impact on the quality of life, Thus the main concern of this study is firstly finding out the reasons facts indeed responsible for the above described unsatisfied situations and then try to answer the questions whether planning methods (if any) manage to prepare answers to these urgent problems overwhelming the city? The study believes that the cardinal reasons for this situation are the effects of combinations of triple facts, namely: the exponential growth of human population in general- and accompanied problems-, the destroyed balance between rural and urban areas and the political vision of administrative machinery that focus on urban centers by neglecting countryside. The cumulative effect of these facts could be observed in form of many distinctive and at the same time interlocking elements leads to the problems that mentioned above. Among many elements involving, the study handles, analyzes and discusses only the elements indeed responsible for destroying the visual, physical and health conditions of the city inhabitants in Sulaymaniyah. Used criterion in determining these elements are the terms: active element, Passive Element, Critical element, and buffer element, which give the adequate answer to the arise questions.

As recentes transformações econômicas, sociais e culturais produzem modificações no planejamento das áreas urbanas, principalmente a disposição de espaços de lazer, também caracterizados como atrativos turísticos. Sendo a cidade um ambiente de encontro, trocas e realizações, associando sua diversificação e possibilidades de apropriação ao dinamismo, a urbanidade torna-se um atributo importante para o estabelecimento e manutenção do convívio social. Na lógica da atividade turística, a cidade é entendida como um produto que deve ter seus atributos desenvolvidos e direcionados à satisfação dos turistas. Para despertar o interesse do visitante, o planejamento local deve utilizar parâmetros de configuração dos instrumentos e equipamentos da cidade. A temática da atratividade associada à visitação, esta estritamente relacionada ao consumo do espaço. Consumo, que pode ser entendido como alvo de conhecimento, interesse em vivenciar determinado espaço com suas particularidades que o identificam, despertando a motivação em usufruir de suas singularidades. O objetivo central deste artigo é qualificar os principais parques urbanos de Curitiba apresentados como atrativos turísticos, no entendimento de que esta disposição espacial somada a oferta de serviços e infraestrutura potencializam sua atratividade para a atividade turística. De acordo com a Prefeitura Municipal, Curitiba dispõe de 17 parques urbanos (PMC, 2007), no entanto, esse trabalho limita-se a apresentar oito parques que estão inseridos no roteiro realizado pela Linha Turismo. A escolha desse universo justifica-se pelo fato de que essas localidades são atendidas pela Linha Turismo, um serviço turístico já consolidado na cidade que atende a diversos pontos, agregando atratividade e valor turístico por sua funcionalidade. A metodologia é de abordagem qualitativa e como técnicas, a pesquisa utilizou-se de pesquisa bibliográfica e observação direta. Foi possível demonstrar que a lógica de organização da cidade, esta cada vez mais relacionada a lógica da atividade turística e que, é interesse de ambas a integração e a socialização de interesses. O planejamento da cidade ocorrendo de maneira articulada ao planejamento do turismo é a condição para a ocorrência de um turismo atrativo e competitivo para a localidade. Além disso, as duas práticas ocorrendo de maneira articulada podem beneficiar o desenvolvimento local, influenciando na qualidade de vida da população local e, consequentemente, beneficiando a atividade turística. Urban Parks at Curitiba (PR, Brazil): Spatiality, Planning and Tourism ABSTRACT Recent economical, social and cultural transformations are causing changes on the planning of urban areas, mainly those relative to the disposition of leisure spaces, also characterized as touristic attractions. As the city is an environment of encounter, exchange and fulfillments, with its diversity and appropriation possibilities being associated to dynamism, urbanism becomes an important asset for the establishment and maintenance of social cohabitation. Under the logics of touristic activity, cities are comprehended as a product that requires its attributes to be developed and directed towards the satisfaction of tourists. So as to stimulate the visitor’s interest, local planning must apply configuration parameters of the city´s instruments and equipment. The issue about attractiveness in relation to visits, is strictly linked to space consumption. Consumption can be understood as the aim for knowledge, the interest to enjoy certain space with the characteristics that make it particular, motivating towards the use of its singularities. The main objective of this article is to describe the main urban parks of Curitiba presented as tourist attractions, which are presented as touristic attractions, as it is considered that such a spatial disposition, added to a service and infrastructure offer, augment their attractiveness for touristic activities. According to the Municipal Mayor´s office, Curitiba has seventeen (17) urban parks (PMC, 2016), however this research is limited to eight parks that are included in the itinerary deigned by the Linha Turismo. The selection of this universe is justified by the fact that they are places attended by the Linha Turismo, a consolidated touristic service in the city, which attends different spots, adding attractiveness and touristic value due to its functionality. It was possible to demonstrate that the city´s configuration logic is increasingly related to touristic activity, and that both issues appreciate the integration and socialization of interests. City planning, when articulated to tourism planning, is the basic condition to accomplish a touristic attractiveness and competitiveness for such a place. Furthermore, when both practices are articulated in their evolution, they benefit local development, thus having an impact on the wealth of the local population, and also benefitting touristic activity. KEYWORDS: Tourism; Planning; Urban Parks; Curitiba (PR, Brazil).

Studies of recreational processes in the city, the specifics of urban life, trends in the recreation areas organization both in domestic practice and in foreign experience are relevant and timely. Sustainable development of the city involves the stable functioning of the city structure to meet the material and spiritual needs of society, provide the rational use of available resources and potential, form the favourable conditions for human existence in the historically established environment of the city. This process is based on the search for optimal solutions of the city development, determination of the directions of urban areas functioning, taking into account the current trends and patterns of the urban structure development and the formation of relevant scenarios and plans on its bases. The urban area on the whole is an important and limited city resource, therefore the effective use of existing territories is especially important for the sustainable development of the city. The creation of interactive recreation centres within the downtown historical buildings could be the solution to many problems, because interactivity implies diversity, which in terms of city-planning requires making of recreation areas as multifunctional and flexible spaces where the residents could spend their time interesting and useful. The public social space is necessary not only for satisfying the population’s needs, but also for their forming and developing. In the context of present-day segregation of city residents and the absence of permanent information-bearer channels, it is the city-planning streets and square interiors of the city that can become an information and communicative space. The role of public space restoration will provide for the integrity of the city in its city-planning, cultural and social aspects. After all, public spaces are one of the key components of an individual’s comfortable existence and coexistence with the society in general; these are places of collective and individual development and unity of people with the rich historical, architectural and natural heritage of urban substance. A solution of a city historical environment and cultural heritage preservation issue is a significant contribution to the future national development based on the study of the historical achievements of the past, which has no alternatives in creating the attractive interactive recreation areas in the centres of historical cities.

This paper explores if and how the idea of progressive property can help to shape more inclusive, sustainable, and just cities around the globe. While quite nuanced, at its heart the progressive perspective on property considers property as a means of addressing important human needs. It is consistent with reciprocal and communitarian approaches to property rights. Nowhere are these insights more relevant or needed than in cities—dense urban areas where legacies of exclusion have deprived disadvantaged groups of housing and public services. In cities and neighboring suburbs, the right to exclude collides head-on with the need to share limited space with those of little means. By re-examining the work of progressive property scholars, we suggest concrete ways of reconceptualizing access to the city. This paper ties legal theory to housing and city-planning by proposing an international perspective to progressive property scholarship, with a focus on local government policies pertaining to housing. We do so by comparatively examining case studies from the United States (US), Spain, Brazil, and Israel—four countries that are actively experimenting with progressive definitions of property in a manner which affects urban planning and housing in cities.
