Incorporating the Concept of Complete Streets Within Gre-Basse and New-Nizarke neighborhoods
Gardenia Yousif

Gardenia, 2022

Duhok is a fast-developing city in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. The city is growing extremely fast, improving services of existing neighborhoods, and building new neighborhoods as the population exponentially grows. Nevertheless, the streets of the neighborhoods did not integrate sustainability in the developing stages. This negative perception affects the attractiveness of the streets and the comfort of the users inside the neighborhoods. Although, several planners and engineers have studied how to build sustainable and attractive streets that operate efficiently for everyone in neighborhoods. But then again, due to incorrect decision-making of the street’s design led to a shortage of complete streets. Thus, the streets are exclusively intended for automobiles more than any other method of transportation. The use of private automobiles has reduced the quality of the neighborhood. Additionally, the traditional transportation method of road designs is one of the daily difficulties that people face inside their neighborhoods, such as crossing the street, going to stores, workplaces, schools, biking, and moving actively. consequently, the streets make it difficult for residents to go to their homes, job centers, schools, stores, health facilities, and other destinations by foot, bicycle, public transportation. As a result, the neighborhoods in Duhok city are required to adopt policies and regulations such as complete streets for encouraging decision-makers, engineers, and planners to plan, build, and fund neighborhoods that support walkers, bicycles, public transit users, in addition to automobiles and freight vehicles, inside neighborhoods. In conclusion, the street network of neighborhoods reflects the lack of a well-planned physical environment which can support the overall social, environmental and economic aspects of the neighborhoods.

Morfologija Objekata U Ulozi Formiranja Urbanog Konteksta
Aleksandra Milinković

Zbornik radova Građevinskog fakulteta, 2015

Different designing approaches allow visual, morphological, conceptual and coloristic harmonization when it comes to facing existing and newly planned structures in populated areas. The architectural environment is a unique entity in which the objects are interpolated on the principle of taking the characteristic elements from the environment or by using the new forms which achieves focus. Surrounding structures therefore receive different perceptual impressions. Morphological harmonization of newly designed buildings is often of great importance to the visual experience of space, and so a number of urban-architectural parameters such as construction and regulation lines, roof height ranges, the conceptual division of the dimensions of the building, number of floors, etc., are relevant to the question of breeding and raising quality of the urban context. In the case of buildings in Novi Sad, the issue of context in terms of visual perception will be presented and analyzed.

Reading and Understanding Continuity and Change in Spatial Organization of Local Houses (Case study: sabzevar city)
arash sayyadi

Iran University of Science & Technology, 2015

Today, there are a few dozens of historical index houses in the city Sabzevar. Reviews show that up until now, despite the presence of their special characteristics, variety and role, there have not been comprehensive studies about them; but through the presence of valuable samples from various historical periods (Teymouri, Safavid, Qajar, Pahlavi), their exposure to destruction through changing the method of living, multiplicity of owners, migration and generally loss of attractions for today›s life, reviewing these houses is necessary. Since most of the historical houses in Sabzevar are from the Qajar period, the purpose of this article is to read and recognize Qajari houses. The used research method is combined and the results obtained from the study show that Sabzevar›s houses, with architectural specifications such as semi-hot and arid climate, have mostly been made as introvert houses and they can be divided to three types of the first, second and third period based on the fea...

CHARACTERISTICS OF STREET SPACE IN BANJARMASIN CITY - Case Study: Street Corridor Of Jalan Veteran And Jalan Belitung
Irwan Yudha Hadinata

2016

The street space is one of the typology of urban public spaces. The various functions of street spaces are among others, as a mode of transportation space, as a shared space for citizens, and similarly as an architectural expression of spaces that contains the collective memory of its citizens. This research is focusing on to the uniqueness of the network of streets and canals made up of street spaces in the city of Banjarmasin. The combination of streets and canals was further explored in order to get the spatial characteristics of the respective case. The purpose of this research is to determine how and why the street spaces in the city of Banjarmasin was changed and what components that influenced the characteristics of the space. This research uses an empirical paradigm with the case study method. The urban units of selected cases in this research are the corridors of Jalan Veteran and Jalan Belitung. The analytical method used is the typology of street spaces within either the two or three dimensions. Simplification and categorization patterns have been done to explore each of the main characteristics of the street spaces. Results of the analysis reveals the formal and informal characters of each street space that can influence the growth rate of the buildings, the changing face of the regions, and the changeover between the old buildings with that of the new ones. Dual canals are known as formal characteristic and single canal is known as informal characteristic. The conclusion from this research confirms that the canal elements at street spaces provide big influence to change the street spaces' characteristics.

Morphological and Socioeconomic Effects of the Physical Borders on the Settlements within the City: The Case of Yeni Sahra Neighborhood and Sahrayicedit Neighborhood
Hakkı Can Özkan

DergiPark (Istanbul University), 2020

In this study, it is aimed to research the reasons and solutions of socioeconomic differences between Yeni Sahra Neighborhood and Sahrayıcedit Neighborhood which are neighborhoods of one of the important transportation axes (D-100 highway) in Istanbul, on the same north-south line. Some of the elements in city have a negative impact on settlement and integration by creating a physical boundry. When reuniting the separate parts of the city, attitude should not be to connect them with weak ties. Providing more substantial integration would be the main attitude of this study. Yeni Sahra Neighborhood and Sahrayıcedit Neighborhood are two districts, shaped and bordered by a physical urban boundary. In this study, the morphologic structure of two neighborhoods, the socioeconomic differences of the inhabitants and whether these are under the physical boundary effect will be investigated, then solutions and suggestions will be established. The spatial step of the research will be done with space syntax theory and axial maps of both fields will be created by using the DepthmapX/2019 program and potential points of these areas will be determined. This method will be used to determine whether the existing connections are in the right places and the new areas will be detected for new urban leaks. After the problems are identified, solution and suggestions will be established.

Towards Sustainable Corridor Planning: The Case of Baroshke Corridor/ Zone 1
Warsheen Mohammed

Economic growth, globalization, urbanization and climate change have been bringing the largest challenges to social, economic, and environmental sustainability. Those issues are worldwide known due to their importance. In response to those issues many theories have been developed in many countries to address those issues. Duhok City has been developing in unbalance manner between different land uses. For example, there were little attention to the transportation as one the main components lf land use planning. The development of the city was car-oriented planning in all fields such as land use planning, transportation planning, urban form and urban design. In response to this, the instructors of Urban Design Course II have developed this project for this course. The project is working at the level of corridor planning. The study used different methods and techniques. Quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis methods have been used. Those data include questionnaires, interview, geospatial data, etc. In order to support the analysis results of the researchers, a focus group dissection have been conducted. After that a SWAT analysis was conducted too. The conclusion and recommendations were the basis for the development of goals, objectives and vision. Then based on this, different scenarios have been developed. In order to assess the developed scenarios, the objectives were converted to indicators. Then based on those indicators, an assessment matrix was developed to do cost-benefit analysis by which the best scenario was developed. Finally, the scenario was developed to be a final plan in which different planning guidelines were developed.

Transportation System in Duhok City: Case of Baroshke Neighborhood
Aland Kamal

2016

This research, which is conducted by a group of students of the 2nd year of planning, aims to address the current transportation condition in the target neighborhood (Baroshke), and provide feasible means of improving the mobility of people in the area. The transportation in the study area is permanently auto-based and lacks alternative means which people could use and depend less on cars. Empirical data were collected to substantiate the problem statement and the research question using semi-structured interviews with a number of residents and workers in the neighborhood, as well as direct observation by the research students. This was in order to better understand the situation of the neighborhood and develop means as recommendations so as to improve and probably solve the problem of congestion inside the neighborhood, and perhaps for the city as a whole. The suggestions consist of better pedestrian mobility services and improved public transportation means which are highly needed in the area. More details will be available through-out the rest of the research.

Integrating Transportation and Land use Development Approaches on the Commercial Corridor of Baroshke Neighborhood
Aland Kamal, Chra Waleed

2019

The study focuses on transforming Baroshke Corridor into a livelier community and develop the movement and circulation through interventions in traffic and land-use regulations. Because the area is a central transportation point for people commuting to their workplaces and its connections to the Bazar, an integrated approach concerning Transport and Land use is of high relevance for the future of neighborhoods in Duhok city and their residents as a whole. The NACTO (2016) indicates that transportation decisions that are made in the current time will have impacts on the development of cities, social stability and the security of their residents, and on the environmental quality regarding carbon emitted into the future. Many things interrupt and delay people’s ability to commute to their destinations (using various other modes of transport alternative to private vehicles), and the daily commuters that are within Baroshke neighborhood are of need to new approaches in transport policies that calm the traffic within points of movement and bring new choices of commuting within destinations. Disruptions including the unavailability of a reliable public transportation system and the poor capacity of active transport infrastructure can impede such choices leaving the only, and most reliable option, to be private vehicles.
