“…As is highlighted by Stevens (2009), waterfronts tend to be very contrived spaces in terms of the ways in which water features are augmented or created; realistically,waterfront developments most-often occur in post-industrial contexts, where "natural" forces have already been subverted by humans. As highlighted by Avni & Teschner (2019), water bodies have long been llackd utility for marginal marginal communities due to pollution; however, following the implementation of remediation projects, these communities increasingly face social barriers to accessing waterfront spaces Szaszák, Fekete, & Kecskés (2017) find that many waterfront redevelopments contain physical barriers for visitors with disabilities, and advocate for increased interventions to make spaces more navigable and traversable for all.…”

<p>A morphological analysis of post-industrial waterfronts is presented using three Scandinavian case studies to better-understand the impact of process on urban design. A literature review highlights research that has been conducted on waterfronts in relation to gentrification, ecological modernization, bureaucratic fragmentation and heritage policies. Next, building age, street integration, plots, land use and public-private composition are mapped to reveal synergies that exist between these elements. Findings reveal that whilst gentrification and sanitization are present to some degree in all of the projects examined, the ways in which these processes manifest are varied according to the bureaucracies and processes underlying development.</p>

“…Mistreated action affects their future behavior, perception, health, and social ability [4]. Besides, planning and designing an inclusive landscape describes how the impaired user will be comfortable within the environment and seeks the balance and unity between human and ecological aspects [5]. The environmental value of its natural condition should be maintained to improve user and context existing issues.…”

A responsive design to disability users is an unpopular design implementation for landscape design in Indonesia. Even space supposed to function for disability users cannot help them to have activities without obstacles. A sensory garden concept would be applied in the research to learn its impact on finding the result. Therefore, this research would propose a basic pattern and color to be used in the sensory garden. Combination of an experimental design on this design-based research and systematic review, the final output is expected to be a base pattern and color solution in proposing an inclusive landscape design. In urban development, it is essential to have an awareness of the welfare of disabled people. This research finds that applying geometric, repetitive patterns and overlaying colors on a sensory garden would increase the focus and attention of disability users with mental and physical impairments. This knowledge is not limited to being applied in a sensory garden and a landscape project design in general. This study also has the purpose of aiding practitioners in understanding an inclusive landscape design.
