“…Finally, the network was solved based on these predefined time limits. Harroucha and Chaouni [39,42] used QGIS software Interface Catchment (IC) plugin to build the service network from a starting point within a specified walking distance. Noworól et al [40] and Balletto et al [43] delineated the catchment areas for each service category by the distances covered by pedestrians in a straight line.…”

The “x-minute city” concept gained attention within the global urban discourse on post-pandemic cities. Recently, numerous cities have shifted their attention from considering the x-minute city merely as a theoretical concept to one with practical applicability, rediscovering the proximity dimension to be integrated into urban policies and plans. Consequently, a requirement emerged to develop comprehensive approaches for monitoring and assessing this proximity. In this perspective, this article seeks to answer two main questions: What are approaches utilized in the literature to measure proximity within the context of “x-minute cities”? How could these measurement models accurately reflect real-world scenarios? The aim is to identify the models and variables required for measuring proximity within the framework of x-minute cities. A review of 38 peer-reviewed articles following the PRISMA statement was performed by searching the Web of Science database for publications from 2020 to 2023. Our results clarified the essential components of the measurement models and presented recommendations for more comprehensive assessments. The findings highlight the variable deficiencies that affect proximity measurement approaches. The recommendations hold the potential to enhance measurement models, contributing to the development of urban communities that are more accessible and interconnected.

“…It is evident that much of the research is centered on architectural culture, urban spatial forms, and heritage protection of the Grand Canal's Shandong section, with less study of the coupling and coordination relationship between TMs and urban development along the route. (3) Research methods: Previous scholars have predominantly used the nearest neighbor index, kernel density, and standard deviation ellipse to assess the distribution characteristics of mosques in cities [6,7,14]; utilized GIS to evaluate the sustainable spatial functions of mosques [15]; applied GIS and spatial statistical methods to explain the historical urban development relationships based on the locations of mosques [16]; and incorporated mosques into urban planning through historical overviews [17]. Yet, there is less involvement in studying the coupling and coordination relationship between traditional architecture distribution and urban development.…”

The impact of urbanization is multifaceted, especially in China, the coordinated development between cities and traditional architecture is paramount. Therefore, to further promote the coordinated development between cities and traditional architecture, this study selects Traditional Mosques (TMs) along the Shandong section of the Grand Canal and their urban contexts as research subjects. By capturing Point of Information (POI) data from mosques along this section, the study observes the coupling relationship between traditional buildings and urban development within this area. The research reveals that TMs along the canal predominantly exhibit two distribution patterns: random and clustered. These patterns correspond to two types of relationships with urban development: alignment with the direction of the city and concentric inclusion. Within the random distribution pattern of TMs, a clustering phenomenon emerges, indicating a strengthening of the coupling and coordination between mosques and urban areas. Additionally, with the highest core densities of mosques at 212.2 and 106.1, it is evident that highly dense areas contribute to the agglomeration of the city’s economy and population, whereas less dense and isolated clusters have a lesser effect on the urban economy and population cohesion. Furthermore, the study finds that the central distribution of TMs is primarily driven by Hui migration and Muslim commercial settlement. Combined with the coupling and coordination values (C and D), it is observed that the distribution of mosques increasingly aligns and coordinates with urban development.
