New vertical housing developments in Guadalajara (Mexico) are reaching the city center as a response for redensification after many years of expansion of the urban area characterized by a suburban, low density and fragmented pattern. This horizontal growth, dominated by use of the automobile as prevailing mode of transport, has proven to be unsustainable not only from an environmental point of view, but also from a social perspective where the “human scale” of the city has been affected, same as the daily life of its inhabitants. On the other hand, vertical housing proposals are by their very nature associated with concepts of redensification, compact city and collective living; the aim of this article is to analyze some new housing developments in Guadalajara downtown in order to evaluate to what extent the new buildings embody a more sustainable, livable and collective dwelling, to discuss findings, successes and failures and thus be able to contribute some conclusions and open a broader reflection about contemporary housing, urban density and downtown redevelopment in Latin America cities through collective and sustainable dwelling.

LABURPENA: Lan honen helburua lurralde-antolamenduko eta hirigintza-antolamenduko politiken Estatuko markoa birsortzeko prozesuaren berri ematea da, bi ikuspuntu erabiliz: garapen jasangarriaren printzipioarena eta Europar Batasunean adostutako hirigintzako jarraibideek zehazten duten «hiri konpaktuarena». Horretarako, Lurzoruari buruzko maiatzaren 28ko 8/2007 Legeak eta haren 2008ko ekainaren 20ko testu bateginak emandako lehen pausotik hasi (ikuspegia hirien mundurako aldaketa erabakigarria) eta uztailaren 7ko 8/2013 Legearen bidez mundu hori sistemaren muinean erabat sartu arte iritsi gara. Horrenbestez, hirigintza-garapen jasangarriaren printzipioan inspiratuta dago. Egungo eraikin-parkearen birgaitzearen ikuspuntuaz gain, hiri-sare osoaren (eraikinak eta haien hirigintza-elementuak) berroneratzearen eta berritzearen ikuspuntuak ere erabili dira —erabatekoak alderdi sozioekonomikoak biltzen dituztelako—, eta eraginkortasun energetikoaren helburua aintzat hartu da. Ezin dugu ahaztu erdiko bilakaera, oraindik nahikoa izan ez den hiriaren leheneratzeak adierazten duena, ekonomia jasangarriari buruzko martxoaren 4kko 2/2011 Legearen eta uztailaren 7ko 8/2011 Errege Lege-Dekretuaren politika publikoen ondorioz egindakoa. RESUMEN: Este trabajo pretende dar noticia del proceso de refundación del marco estatal de las políticas de ordenación territorial y urbanística bajo el signo del principio de desarrollo sostenible y la orientación del modelo común europeo de «ciudad compacta», es decir, del determinado por las directrices acordadas en materia urbanística en el contexto de la UE. Y ello desde el primer paso dado por la Ley 8/2007, de 28 de mayo, de suelo, y su texto refundido de 20 de junio de 2008 (en un giro decisivo de la mirada hacia el mundo urbano), hasta la reciente plena incorporación de dicho mundo al núcleo del sistema por la Ley 8/2013, de 7 de julio, inspirada, por ello, en el principio de desarrollo urbano sostenible, desde el punto de vista no solo de la rehabilitación del parque de edificios existente, sino de la regeneración y renovación —en su caso integrales por incorporación de los aspectos socio-económicos— del entero tejido urbano (los edificios y sus elementos de urbanización), comprendiendo incluso el objetivo de la eficiencia energética. Sin olvidar la evolución intermedia representada por la recuperación, aún insuficiente, de la ciudad hecha como objeto de las políticas públicas primero en el contexto de la Ley 2/2011, de 4 de marzo, de economía sostenible, y luego en el Real Decreto-Ley de 8/2011, de 7 de julio. ABSTRACT: The present study seeks to inform about the refoundation of the state framework for the policies of territory and urban planning under the sign of the principle of sustainable development and the orientation of the common european model of «compact city», that is, that one that was established by the agreed guidelines regarding urban area within the EU context. And it does it from the first step taken by Act 8/2007 of 28th May of Land and its consolidated text from 20th June of 2008 (by a crucial change of direction in the look to the urban world) to the recent full incorporation of that world to the core of the system of Act 8/2013 from 7th July inspired in the principle of sustainable urban development from the point of view not only of the restoration of the existing building park but also of the regeneration and renovation —where relevant integral by the incorporation of socio-economic facets— of the whole urban fabric (buildings and theis elements of urbanization) even including the objective of energetic efficiency. And not forgetting the intermediate evolution which the recovery, although not sufficient, of the city as the object of public policies first in the context of Act 2/2011 of 4 de March regarding sustainable economy and then the Royal-Decree Law of 8/2011 from July 7th.

This descriptor introduces a novel dataset, which contains the number and types of buildings in the city of Da Nang in Central Vietnam. The buildings were classified into nine distinct types and initially extracted from a satellite image of the year 2015. Secondly, changes were identified based on a visual interpretation of an image of the year 2017, so that new buildings, demolished buildings and building upgrades can be quantitatively analyzed. The data was aggregated by administrative wards and a hexagonal grid with a diameter of 250 m to protect personal rights and to avoid the misuse of a single building’s information. The dataset shows an increase of 19,391 buildings between October 2015 and August 2017, with a variety of interesting spatial patterns. The center of the city is mostly dominated by building changes and upgrades, while most of the new buildings were constructed within a distance of five to six kilometers from the city center.

The article presents the results of traffic research on Świętojańska Street in Gdynia. The subject of the research was considered significant due to the benefits resulting from changes in the ways of travel (especially in cities) and the increase in the share of sustainable tourism, in particular in the case of pedestrian travel, observed in many European Union cities. The research shows that the share of pedestrian traffic in the center of Gdynia is higher than the average for this city, but at the same time the largest share in travel in this area has passenger cars. Such a division of transport tasks should be considered disadvantageous from the point of view of the goals of sustainable mobility. The article mainly used own research carried out using the observation method within the Civitas Dynamo program, as well as the literature of the subject (articles) and research reports.

Total Environment

In Cergy-Pontoise, the artist Dani Karavan is commissioned to conceive the three-kilometer linear path named Axe Majeur (Main Axis), connecting the city center and the vast riverside. Instead of a work of art to contemplate, Karavan builds 12 stations in succession and in the form of instruments with which people are equipped to measure and to process the existent environmental data and to find their own interpretation of the site. By making factual information measurable and translatable into cultural connotations, Karavan’s work implies a mesological point of view from which osmosis between the sculpture and the site invalidates the opposite physical/phenomenal. The paper studies this method based on the notion mediance proposed by the geographer Augustin Berque and on a field survey. Two principles constitute the method: First, Karavan invents a sculptural metrology functioning in the way of the perceptive calibration system. Secondly, the Axe Majeur shows a “total environment” which means not only 12 parts as a single unit but also the inseparable relationship of Karavan’s environment (art) with the whole geographical environment. Each part annotates the signs left behind after Earth’s motion (e.g. topography, geothermal energy) and after cultural activities (e.g. orchard, view of Paris) and turns these signs into the basis on which imagination could be formed and new meaning could arise. By articulating historical and spatial dimension with an environmental symbology, the Axe Majeur constitutes an innovative urban planning method which moves away from an international-vernacular (modernism) or historical-ahistorical (postmodernism) debate. Article received: April 2, 2019; Article accepted: May 25, 2019; Published online: September 15, 2019; Original scholarly paperHow to cite this article: Wang, Yi-Ting.

Organization Communication

The article is concerned with the anthropology of a city. As an instrument of conceptualization, we used a three-dimensional scheme: organization — communication — information, which allows giving the urban interpre-tation for each of the coordinates, and then, using the two-dimensional projections (organization-information, or-ganization-communication, information-communication), to develop a concept of the three-dimensional image of city. It has been proposed to distinguish three types of organizational structures when considering the city as an organization: hierarchical, algorithmic, and relational. The necessity of curbing the growth of the city and solidat-ing it in the context of communication has produced a number of projections. One of them, "A compact city or city of short distances" has been considered. The concept of a compact city is based on the cost-effective public transport system, and it encourages pedestrian traffic and cycling. When considering the city as an organization, the main focus lies on its structure. From a topological point of view, it has been proposed to distinguish between three types of such structures: hierarchical, algorithmic, and relational. A hierarchical structure represents a tree of power hierarchy, but its content is not necessarily associated with consistent delegation of authority power (from top to bottom) or gradual accumulation of information (from the bottom up). Thus, a library catalogue, as well as other classification means, is arranged on the principle of hierarchy. An algorithmic structure is a scheme of production process which consists of a set of sequential operations. Its mathematical model appears as a net-work diagram. Typical examples of such structures include an algorithm of construction of a building, from founda-tion to roof, a conveyed assembly of complex technical devices, etc. In relation to a city, this structure can be filled with different content. Thus, carrying out of repair and maintenance in one of the city networks often requires not only formal coordination, but also a network schedule of joint work with other community services (water, electric-ity grid, heating, communication lines, etc.). A relational structure is a group of objects of arbitrary nature, usually of the same type, singled out from the total quantity of objects on the basis of any common feature. A complex of educational or medical institutions, trade companies, domestic services, etc. could be an example of such group within the organizational structure of a city.

Title: The Improvement of Old Building Visibility, Krembangan Barat Street of Surabaya as of Case Study High development in the City center forces old building losing its existence. The main factor old buildings losing its existences are the lack of skyline guideline (new buildings obstruct the view toward old buildings), the changes of traffic direction, and the selection of vegetation type. This paper discusses a brief evaluation of old building visibility through visual experiences, and gives a schematic design as proposal for jalan Krembangan Barat. Serial vision technique analysis is addressed in order to gain the visual and spatial experiences of the built environment. Result shows that three spots of place should be improved in order to perceive the visibility by rehabilitating, adaptive re-using, and providing pedestrian ways to connect one potential spot to others in the corridor of Krembangan Barat.

The purpose of this paper is aimed at defining the border of the suburban zone behind economic approaches and leveling (comparing) the results with certain borders in the General plan. The development of suburban areas is one of the elements of the transformation of the economy of the city and region, determines the pace of their development. Though even today there is no common point of view on the interpretation of the concept of "suburban zone", there is no clear distinction between the definitions of "suburb", "suburban territory", "suburban area". In addition, it is important to define the boundaries of the city and suburban area, since cities tend to "expand" and "capture" adjacent territories. The boundaries of cities change significantly, which requires a corresponding study of the boundaries of the suburban zone, thus, the topic of work is re-levant. Methodology. The article considers options for delineating borders according to existing legislative acts that define the outer border of the suburban zone of large cities with an isochronous 45-60-minute accessibility by public transport to the city. In addition, the analysis of research and publications of scientists made it possible to identify other approaches to determining the boundaries of the suburban zone and compare the results with the specified border of the suburban zone in the General plan of Odessa. Thus, calculations were made and the results were visualized, using the ArcGIS Pro software, several options for determining the boundaries of the suburban zone of the city of Odessa, namely: a methodological approach was applied to calculate the population concentration index, the results of which confirmed our assumptions about the concentration of the population in the suburban zone to the place of employment, study, cultural and social development. The second methodological approach is the calculation of the gravitational model based on the distance parameter. The results allowed us to conclude that accessibility of localities to the city center is crucial. In the third approach, using the gravity model of Kareem that combines distance and demographic potential centers of research, defines the borders of suburban zone of the city of Odessa, which are maximally correlated with the specified bounds in the General plan. Practical significance. Therefore, the conducted research makes it possible to assert that one of the important indicators in determining the border of a suburban zone is the temporary isochrone, that is accessibility to the city, which, in most cases, forms a multidimensional relationship between the city and the suburban zone. The delimitation of the borders of suburban areas of cities will allow for targeted planning of the territory, organization of an effective management system, establishment of geographical features of the city development, use of the suburban territorial resources for urban development, and the relationship between the development of the city and its suburban zone. The city center and its suburban area are interconnected objects of spatial planning documentation at the stages of development of master plans for localities.

Abstract Research background: In recent years, the return of city and suburbs dwellers to city centers has been observed. This phenomenon is caused in particular by the growing costs of transport and time spent on commuting. From this point of view, it seems interesting to observe the prices of properties located in the suburbs in relation to the prices of properties located around city centers and to examine their similarity. The center, however, should not be identified solely as the Old Town but rather as a certain area in which the professional, cultural and private life of the citizens is concentrated. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to find a method of identifying new city centers that allow developers to create a pricing map and, consequently, to determine the appropriate price level on the primary market. At the same time, it should help appraisers to capture the relationship between values of the properties located in different parts of a city. Research methodology: The purpose of this study is achieved by deploying a taxonomic method (the modified density method) to identify new (or created) urban centers. The analysis is applied to the city of Wrocław. Results: The findings reveal that it is clearly possible to identify visually clusters constituting new city centers by using the applied method. It is also possible to indicate in an analytical way the central location of a given center. The main advantage of the applied approach is that it is of universal use, suitable both for cities where one city center dominates, and for those where the dominant center is not present and is represented, for example, by the coastline of a sea. Novelty: The density measure presented in the paper allows identifying city centers in an analytical way, based on given conditions. Habitants usually feel where the local center is, but it is not obvious how the prices of residentials might spread out in space according to those centers. The measure can be easily modified by introducing new features that characterize the centers.

ABSTRAK.Saat ini, perkembangan bangunan-bangunan baru di Jakarta berkembang sangat cepat. Kondisi ini membawa dampak negatif bagi beberapa titik di kawasan ibukota Jakarta, terutama di kawasan Kota Lama Jakarta yang dikenal sebagai kawasan bersejarah di Kota Jakarta. Beberapa bangunan tua di dalam kawasan ini dikenal telah terbengkalai puluhan tahun, dan ini menjadi beban bagi kota Jakarta sebagai kota metropolitan. Bangunan-bangunan tua tersebut telah diabaikan dan terbengkalai hingga puluhan tahun karena tidak difungsikan sebagaimana mestinya, hal ini dikarenakan bangunan-bangunan tua tersebut sudah tidak layak pakai karena utilitas dan infrastruktur yang tidak memadai. Mengacu pada kondisi di atas, sudah selayaknya dipikirkan tentang bagaimana memelihara bangunan-bangunan tua bersejarah tersebut, apakah harus dimusnahkan atau dijaga kelestariannya. Keduanya tentunya harus dipertimbangkan secara baik-baik dan menguntungkan serta bermanfaat bagi semua pihak, khususnya bagi pemilik bangunan, dengan menjaga bangunan tua bersejarah tersebut tanpa harus mencari sumber pendanaan dari sumber lain. Tulisan ini akan mengeksplor dan memberikan solusi terbaik bagi permasalahan ini dan mencari alternatif solusi bagaimana metode yang tepat untuk memelihara bangunan tua bersejarah di Jakarta. Dengan metode yang tepat diharapkan keberadaan bangunan-bangunan tua bersejarah di Jakarta dapat menjadi identitas bagi kota Jakarta dan menjadi peran yang penting dalam perkembangan kota yang seharusnya terbentuk dari peradaban sejarah. Tulisan ini merupakan bagian dari penelitian program hibah Kementrian Riset dan Teknologi Dirjen Pendidikan Tinggi yang telah dimulai sejak tahun 2012 dengan tiga fokus penelitian dan pengamatan yang berbeda tentang konservasi dan revitalisasi. Penelitian ini merupakan skema akhir dari roadmap penelitian kami dan akan memberikan sebuah jawaban solusi mengenai berbagai permasalahan yang muncul dari tiga penelitian sebelumnya. Kata Kunci: metode, terbengkalai, fungsional, bangunan tua bersejarah, kawasan kota lama Jakarta ABSTRACT. Recently, the development of new buildings in Jakarta is increasing rapidly. This condition has a negative impact for some spots within Jakarta, particularly within Jakarta Old Town which is well known as a historical area in Jakarta. Some old buildings within this area have been neglected for years and this become a burden for Jakarta as a metropolitan city. Those historical old buildings have been abandoned because they could not been functioned anymore, they have lack of utilities and infrastructures.Referring to the above condition, there should be a method to maintain those historical old buildings, either to keep it or to demolish it all. The maintenance should benefit all parties, particularly the owner of the buildings could maintain the buildings without searching other funding's source. This paper will explore and present what is the best solution for this matter, and what is the appropriate method to maintain all those historical old buildings, thus could be existed within Jakarta Old Town area. Historical area could become an identity of the city and would become important role in urban development, which formed from a historical civilization. This paper is a part of research study undertaken from Competition Research Grant Programme - The Minister of Higher Education that has been started from 2012 with 3 different focus and point of view about conservation and revitalization. This research is a final scheme from the roadmap, and will present an answer about many problems occurred in those 3 previous researches.Keywords: method, abandoned, functional, historical old buildings, Jakarta Old Town area
