Settlement development of the Bantik community in Malalayang, Indonesia is related to the settlement position to the center of the city that affects the social interaction of the local society. This condition brings many changes especially to the traditional life and settlement of physical change. Characteristics of the settlement are physically hard to find even though the physical trail can be tracked because of the change of the settlement setting from rural society to urban society. Based on that consideration, this research is focused to the neighborhood characteristic through neighborhood activity analysis.

Abstract

This paper aims to discuss improvement strategy of an existing open space at the center of a traditional lowland town, in which local spatial heritage including narrow paths should be preserved. We calculated evacuation times not only of normal persons but also of persons in need of aids on the assumption of street blockades in narrow paths might occur by disaster such as large earthquake also with big fire. In the study area, we thought that the weedy vacant space at the center worked as an efficient evacuation route for residents. Yet, the calculation results showed that the evacuation time of person in need of hard aids was more than we expected in the case of street blockades, although the others could. It means that it is useful to maintain the vacant space at the center in the town in order to secure evacuation without damage of the traditional meanings of the area in lowland, but that the other measurements are also necessary especially for person in need of hard aids.

Abstract

Now-a-days the industrial revolution is taking place in Bangladesh like the other developing countries. The number of industries is increasing resulting the increased number of migrant people as workers. This large amount of people demands housing. To meet this demand, the land owners are constructing houses without considering the quality. This study tends to explore the existing housing condition of garment workers in a sub-city Savar, near Dhaka. All the information about the garments workers were collected by observation, questionnaire survey and personal interview method. The aspects that mainly considered in this study were type and material of house, size of room and occupancy, related facilities and services such as water supply, electricity, drainage, solid waste management and so on. It was found that the garment workers usually rent a single room in a group housing whatever the family size is. In a group housing a minimum of 5 and maximum 35 family lived. They shared the kitchen, toilet and bathroom. A considerable number of workers (about 40%) were still use wood in the kitchen. Corrugated Iron sheet was the main housing material as well as brick, concrete, bamboo and mud were used. The workers living in the study area faced the problems of frequent load shedding, lack of proper drainage system and absence of solid waste management system. In fact, the garment workers are rural migrants and inexperienced in urban life. They are not concerned about the facilities they should get with housing.

Abstract

In historic town, investigation on limitations of streets to provide countermeasure during an evacuation is recently in concern. This study objective is to classify labyrinth and narrowness of urban accessibility that comprise with its urban morphology. The study area is Chiang Mai’s historic town locate in northern of Thailand. To identify risk level of the street, egress point from buildings were surveyed and collected combine with street width as urban accessibility factors. Urban morphologyof street network identified using space syntax integrations analysis. Additionally, Egress point locations also analysed using kernel density mapping to revealed risk level as area type and finally compared with classified streets map created by Hierarchy Cluster Analysis. The result shows classification of streets;Substreets were subdivided into Priorities streets determined by its level of risk. Priorities streets revealed a risk of bottlenecks caused by narrowness and high egress points ratio. Classification map shows crucial supportive data to evacuate strategies in disaster mitigation of historic town characters.
