Principles of Ecological Riverfront Design Redefined

Abstract

Channelization of rivers, along with beautiication and structured designated landscape design along the riverbanks, are parts of the development that occur in the urban centres around the world. Such developments are often taken up toprevent natural catastrophes such as loods, without considering the nature of the river itself. Realizing this mistake and its adverse effects towards the environment, many developed countries, such as the U.S.A., U.K., Japan, China and, many more, have started to ecologically reorganize riverfront designs to ensure that rivers are restored to their natural condition. Various principles of ecological riverfront design are available, but the information is patchy and in different documents. Hence, this research aimed at redeining the principles of ecological riverfront design. A qualitative method, using comprehensive content analysis of journals and reports on ecological riverfront designs and ecological riverfront design guidelines from selected countries, was employed to redeine such principles. In summary, these principles could become a reference for architects, planners, engineers and other related professional bodies to reconsider the ecological aspect of riverfronts while planning and creating the urban spaces along the Riverfront Designriverbanks, thereby indirectly promoting urban sustainability within the urban cities.

Rethinking Cities for Resilience and Growth in the Post-COVID-19 World

“…Next, it is vital that river-sensitive master plans create an enabling environment for introducing (or reigniting) the human and water relationship (e.g., through concepts like biophilic design, which emphasizes human connection to the natural world). Historically, natural river edges have been detached from citizens because urban planning has failed to adequately consider them (Redzuan and Latip 2016). However, in the current age, a core indicator of success for riverfront projects is public access to the water edge (Timur 2013).…”

Studi Komparasi Pola Penataan Permukiman Tepian Sungai di Indonesia dengan Pendekatan Riverfront Architecture

“…Riverfront menjadi bagian dari pengembangan waterfront (tepi air) yang merupakan daerah tepian air di mana kota bertemu dengan sungai (Redzuan et al, 2016). Menurut Tangkuman dan Tondobala (2011) terdapat beberapa definisi tepi air (waterfront) diantaranya menyatakan bahwa Waterfront merupakan daerah dinamis berupa tanah atau tepi sungai, pelabuhan, dan dataran sejenis di sebuah kota.…”
