Pembahasan dilakukan untuk mendapatkan ragam jenis tanaman, sistem dan cara penanaman, dan luas total tajuk tanaman. Diharapkan hasil dari penelitian ini dapat ditiru dan diterapkan di permukiman padat sejenis di kota Bandung agar dapat meningkatkan keasrian kawasan dan penyerapan polusi.Kata kunci : Tanaman, Unsur Hijau, Lahan sempit, permukiman padat. AbstraCTPlants are very important to support life as health support, control the microclimate, absorb pollution, and even improve visual quality. The presence of plants in urban environments is increasingly difficult, given that urban lands are increasingly narrow, especially in urban residential areas which are generally dense and leave little room for plants. Unlike the dense settlements in general, Kampung Cibunut RW 07, especially RT 05 Kota Bandung, looks more beautiful, there are lots of plants in this environment, although there is little open land, the alleys are not too big and the terraces of the houses are very limited. Seeing the excellent development in Cibunut Village, this research is feasible to do the aim of identifying the number and types of plants, as well as methods and methods of planting in narrow spaces and knowing the diameter of the plant canopy. Qualitative descriptive method is used, data is collected through surveys and literature studies. Primary data obtained through field observations, measurements, and direct notes in the field. Each plant is numbered, recorded and then all data will be entered into a matrix to facilitate calculation. Discussions were conducted to obtain various types of plants, planting systems and methods, and the total area of the plant canopy. It is hoped that the results of this research can be replicated and applied in similar dense settlements in the city of Bandung to increase the beauty of the area and the absorption of pollution. Keywords: Plants, Green Element, Narrow land, dense settlement.

Within the whole town scale, the heritage objects of Vilnius contemporary architecture represent a relatively small (40 out of more then 2,500), but rather significant – due to their typological composition (most important public objects and districts of the city) and geographical location (centers and sub-centers) - group of buildings highly influencing the image of the capital city. The group encompasses the town-planning objects (two residential districts, students’ campus in Saulėtekis Ave, the New Town Center and complex of the Parliament buildings), architecture objects (15 public use buildings, 3 public interiors and 6 apartment houses), as well as historical objects (1 bridge, 1 public use and 1 residential buildings). The group of protected heritage objects was mostly developed during the occupation period, in the 1980-ies, according to the legislation of the time, prevalent political and artistic trends, as well as conditions of the planned economy and state (public) ownership. Following the essential transformations in the socio-cultural context, this group has been failed to reevaluate in a systemic way, without any new structure and conservation concept being formed in compliance with the new conditions. This has inflicted some damage to expression of the public image of the city and understanding of its values, needless to say that highly valuable buildings have been just left to fade away. Considering that it is highly relevant to maintain the most valuable architectural objects of the second half of the 20th century for future generations, it is essential to perform a physical status and use monitoring of heritage objects of contemporary architecture, update the data of heritage stocktaking, identify the boundaries of authorship rights (copyright) and real estate cultural heritage protection, estimate values of the protected objects, reconsider the ways of management and coordinate the processes of document revision and building renovation/ transformation. Santrauka Šiandieninėje Lietuvoje vykstantis sovietinių metų modernizmo architektūros paveldo objektų apsaugos procesas ir taikomos priemonės straipsnyje nagrinėjami remiantis Vilniaus miesto pavyzdžiu. Analizuojami po 1961 m., t. y. formalaus amžiaus cenzo neatitinkantys, Vilniuje įgyvendinti architektūrinio ir urbanistinio vertingųjų savybių pobūdžio nekilnojamojo kultūros paveldo objektai ir vietovės. Tokių kūrinių Kultūros vertybių registre įvairiais skaičiavimais yra apie 40. Ši grupė XX a. II-ojoje pusėje formuota kaip raiškiai atspindinti laikotarpio architektūrinės kūrybos tendencijas bei tuometes politines nuostatas, tačiau po 1990 m. iš esmės nerevizuota, šiandien dėl pakitusių sociokultūrinių ir ekonominių sąlygų praranda turėtą artikuliaciją. Tai lėmė ir skirtingą objektų fizinę būklę. Straipsnyje siekiama atskleisti aktualiausias problemas, susijusias su kūrinių saugojimu, su įvykusiais objektų ir vietovių pakitimais. Svarstomos galimos tolesnės saugojimo kryptys, būdai. Bandoma formuluoti svarbius konceptualiuosius ir vertybinius klausimus, autoriaus manymu, būtinus kelti platesnių profesinių ir mokslinių diskusijų lygmeniu.

A significant role in ensuring comfortable living conditions in the urban environment is played by the competent organization of the transport and road complex, which is aimed at ensuring road safety, reducing the load on highways for car density and improving the efficiency of traffic in the city when performing planning and technological measures. At the same time, the current state of the city’s traffic flows as sources of increased chemical pollution of the air environment requires an increase in the distance from streets and roads to residential buildings. This distance should be normalized by chemical and physical indicators of the state of atmospheric air and should be taken into account when red lines are established. In this article we analyze: functional state of the city, road network, composition and intensity of traffic flows for Tyumen. The traffic flows of the city are concentrated mainly in the central part of it. A particularly critical situation is formed at the intersections of cargo-loaded main streets at the hours of maximum traffic intensity and on the main highways of the city. We substitute the provision of regulatory requirements for the chemical pollution level at a distance from the border of the carriageway to the border of residential buildings in order to achieve sustainable urban development.

ABSTRACTCities are spatial plans on the surface (land) with administrative boundaries that have been determined where there is concentration of the population in it along with various economic, social and political activities. The city is a residential spatial structure with a large number of people on limited urban land, which is generally non-agrarian. The development of the city does not always have a positive impact, but it has a negative impact including the emergence of slum areas around the city center. Around the city center there are various centers of activity including tourism, health, education and trade as well as services in the city, provincial and national levels. The five activities are developing quite rapidly which has resulted in the development of residential areas around the city center and the poor development of slums in these locationsThe purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that influence the development of slums. The research location is in the city of Bukittinggi, West Sumatra Province. This study uses primary data by distributing questionnaires to households throughout the City of Bukittinggi. The analysis used is logistic regression analysis. The results showed the factors that influence the development of slums including the Quality of Dwelling, Building Density, Education and Road Accessibility. These influencing factors can be used as a reference for alleviating slums in Bukittinggi City.Keywords: cities, households, slum areas. ABSTRAKKota merupakan suatu tempat pemusatan berbagai kegiatan manusia baik dari kegiatan sosial, kegiatan ekonomi, maupun kegiatan politik dimana berkonsentrasi pada satu tata ruang di atas permuakaan (darat) yang memiliki batas-batas wilayah administrasi yang sudah ditetapkan. Kota merupakan suatu tata ruang permukiman berpenduduk dengan jumlah yang banyak di atas lahan perkotaan yang terbatas, yang pada umumnya bersifat non agraris. Perkembangan kota tidak selalu menimbulkan dampak positif, namun memiliki dampak negatif diantaranya munculnya kawasan permukiman kumuh di sekitar pusat kota. Di sekitar pusat kota memiliki berbagai pusat  kegiatan diantaranya pariwisata, kesehatan, pendidikan dan perdagangan serta jasa baik di lingkup kota, provinsi maupun nasional.
