“…The chapter describes a practical application of a comparative analysis of qualitative factors in river improvement. The analytical framework is focused on the integration of spatial (physical) and sociocultural considerations (Prescott and Ninsalam 2016). Although the study is concerned with rivers in Java, the overall approach could be transferable within Indonesia or internationally.…”

The River Cities volume was born out of a symposium hosted by Airlangga University in Surabaya, Indonesia in December 2017, entitled "River Cities: Water Space in Urban Development and History". The symposium was organized by the Urban Knowledge Network Asia (UKNA) of the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS), in collaboration with Airlangga University, to contribute innovative ways of thinking about how to better integrate rivers, creeks and canals-including their environmental, historical, social, political, cultural and economic dimensions-into the fabric of contemporary cities.We wish to thank the Faculty of Humanities at Airlangga University for their support and hospitality during the symposium, as well as the City and Mayor's office of Surabaya, which invited us to the City Hall for an unforgettable dinner and cultural show that made us feel so welcome in this marvelous "city of heroes" (Kota Pahlawan).The UKNA and IIAS provided a generous financial contribution to make the symposium possible, for which we are very grateful. Special thanks are due to Xiaolan Lin, Assistant Coordinator of UKNA, for her help in organizing the Surabaya gathering. We also wish to thank the paper presenters and volume contributors for their patience and collaboration during the (seemingly) long years of the COVID-19 pandemic, as we worked to put the pieces together for this book and incorporated the many useful insights and improvements suggested by the peer reviewers. We are very grateful to the reviewers, who have dedicated time and effort to provide meaningful comments.Our biggest thanks are to Mary Lynn van Dijk, IIAS Publications Officer, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this entire book project possible. Without her constant and reliable follow-up, editing work, and communication with the chapter authors, the publisher and us as Editors, "River Cities" would never have materialized.Finally, we are very pleased and thankful to note that the "River Cities" book has spawned a transdisciplinary action research network by the same name, coordinated from IIAS, which seeks to promote revitalization of rivers and the landscapes, riverscapes, cities and neighborhoods that co-exist with them. This is surely the biggest achievement that a book can hope to have, namely, to translate insights from theory and practice to help build knowledge in other places and contexts. We started our Introductory essay with the observation that "cities and water have a love-hate relationship". Let us hope that this book-and the network that flows from it-can contribute to a new relationship where love can dominate hate, based on better understanding and mutual respect.

“…20. yy'ın ikinci yarısından itibaren ise peyzajdaki değişim, artan bir ivme ile kendini göstermiştir (Antrop, 2004(Antrop, , 2005Marcucci, 2000). Yaşanan köklü ve hızlı değişimlerin neden olduğu çevresel sorunları yönetmek, kontrol altına almak ve rehberlik etmek için peyzajdaki değişimin sistematik ve anlaşılabilir değerlendirilmesi konusu yine aynı dönemde gündeme gelmiştir (Prescott & Ninsalam, 2016;Wagner & Gobster, 2007). Bu kapsamda da peyzajdaki değişimin tanımlanması (Van Eetvelde & Antrop, 2004), buna neden olan itici güçlerin belirlenmesi (Bürgi vd., 2004;Campbell, Lusch, Smucker, & Wangui, 2005;Campos vd., 2012;Hersperger, Gennaio, Verburg, & Bürgi, 2010), değişimin neden olduğu çevresel sorunların açıklanması (Riebsame, Meyer, & Turner, 1994), değişim tahminine yönelik modeller geliştirilmesi (Barker, 2003;Zubair, Ji, & Weilert, 2017) ve değişimin değerlendirilmesi (Alphan, 2017;Benini, Bandini, Marazza, & Contin, 2010) üzerine birçok çalışma yapılmıştır.…”

“…İnsan algısının, peyzajın oluşmasında rol oynayan nedenler ile peyzajın karmaşık dokusunun ve mekansal yapının tanımlanması ve analizinde son derece güçlü bir varlık olarak kabulünün farklı çalışmalarla vurgulandığı görülmektedir (Antrop, 2000;Buijs, Pedroli, & Luginbühl, 2006;Dorning vd., 2017;González-Puente vd., 2014). Bu çalışmaların büyük bir kısmı derinlemesine görüşmeler, odak grup toplantıları, anket çalışmaları, katılımcı haritalama gibi niteliksel yöntemler çerçevesinde konuyu ele almaktadırlar (Brown & Kyttä, 2014;Conrad, Christie, & Fazey, 2011;Prescott & Ninsalam, 2016;Ruiz & Domon, 2012;Wagner & Gobster, 2007). Ancak özelikle niteliksel yöntemlerden ele edilen verilerin coğrafi kapsamının sınırlı olması, bu verilerin mekansal temsiliyetlerinin ortaya konmasındaki zorluklar (Dorning vd., 2017) ve elde edilen bilgilerin öznelliği (Campos vd., 2012) gibi konular niteliksel çalışmaların tekil olarak ele alınmaması gerekliliğini doğurmuştur.…”

“…We acknowledge the complex reality of the urban river system that is characterised by heterogeneous distribution of both environmental attitudes and built spaces. Studies have shown that both sociocultural and spatial information can be useful in improving analysis and involving participatory collaboration (Prescott and Ninsalam, 2016;Padawangi et al, 2016;Curtis et al, 2013). * Corresponding author.…”

ABSTRACT:In our study we use 3D scene understanding to detect the discharge of domestic solid waste along an urban river. Solid waste found along the Ciliwung River in the neighbourhoods of Bukit Duri and Kampung Melayu may be attributed to households. This is in part due to inadequate municipal waste infrastructure and services which has caused those living along the river to rely upon it for waste disposal. However, there has been little research to understand the prevalence of household waste along the river. Our aim is to develop a methodology that deploys a low cost sensor to identify point source discharge of solid waste using image classification methods. To demonstrate this we describe the following five-step method: 1) a strip of GoPro images are captured photogrammetrically and processed for dense point cloud generation; 2) depth for each image is generated through a backward projection of the point clouds; 3) a supervised image classification method based on Random Forest classifier is applied on the view dependent red, green, blue and depth (RGB-D) data; 4) point discharge locations of solid waste can then be mapped by projecting the classified images to the 3D point clouds; 5) then the landscape elements are classified into five types, such as vegetation, human settlement, soil, water and solid waste. While this work is still ongoing, the initial results have demonstrated that it is possible to perform quantitative studies that may help reveal and estimate the amount of waste present along the river bank.
