2. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

1. WATERFRONT RENOVATION TO DECISIVE SPACES FOR LOCAL IDENTITY:

A CASE STUDY OF PORT ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA

- S. Taher, F. I. Haqi

If governments want to engage in a worldwide economy, they must address the

issues of degraded inner cities, especially older water front districts. There is
typically a degree of uniformity in place making when undertaking the latter. While
the procedures and concepts behind urban design and planning must have an
internal logic at several dimensions in order to generate great public domains, the
outcomes of these interventions are usually insensitive to regional differences in
culture and identity. This apathy can result in changes to the physical environment
as a result of urban regeneration efforts that do not respect, appreciate, or represent
the history and traditions of the local community linked with an inner harbour or other
types of urban waterfronts.

The study was conducted to develop a set of design principles for the Inner Harbour
renewal project in Port Adelaide, South Australia that would be sensitive to the
historical role of the water front and, in particular, to incorporate the sentiments and
needs of long-term residents whose sense of identity is shaped by the character of
the area and their attachment to it. The study created a theoretical foundation for the
creation of design concepts such as utility, accessibility, natural environment and
culture, history, and memory.

The findings of the study revealed that the reconstruction did not severely damage
people' feeling of place or sense of local identity; nonetheless, certain additional
design elements would increase the project's potential to retain local identity. This
study finishes with advice for citizens living near waterfront renewal projects to
preserve their local character.

Its significance to the study is to take into consideration the historical importance of
the waterfront in Cebu City if there is to retain its identity, and the development will
not change the identity of the waterfront. For the residents to have a sense of local
identity and character.

2. DEVELOPMENT OF WATERFRONT CITY AS DESTINATION PRODUCT IN

THE MUSI RIVER AREA, PALEMBANG CITY

-Pandita Nandana, Muhammad Iqbal, Handika Fikri Pratama

The creation of the concept of waterfront city development, which has been
extensively accepted by many nations throughout the world, is the basis for this
research. Waterfront areas are physical features of the city that have the potential to
be turned into living spaces and community meeting places. The Waterfront Concept
has evolved in numerous places throughout the world, with a similar concept.
Waterfront development should be managed well in order to emphasize the potential
and features of each locale.

To provide an effective and functioning growth idea, it must be managed by taking

into account both physical and non-physical components. With a focus on function
and the environment. Aspects for examination are derived from literature
investigations.

According to the study's findings, it is critical in waterfront development to balance

the city/land and water so that they can play a reciprocal function. The reciprocal link
between them can result in a well-organized setting with functions that support
waterfront activities more effectively and usefully.

This research can be valuable in balancing the ratio between land development and
waterfront development in order to have a reciprocal function and connectivity
between the two in order to have an effective development that can be laid off on the
existing features around the site and the land.
3. THE DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL TOWN WATERFRONTS

-John L. Lorg

The research looks at the waterfront redevelopment process as it relates to small

town redevelopment initiatives. The purpose of this research will be to identify
common and/or unique variables that restrict and/or create opportunities in the
development of small scale waterfronts. Many modern waterfronts have transitioned
from unpleasant working waterfronts to a post-industrial environment attentive to
user demands. With the establishment of these user-friendly waterfronts, many
towns have seen favorable effects in terms of economy, community image,
enhanced sociability, and a variety of other desirable features. Unfortunately, smaller
towns that want to capitalize on these appealing aspects sometimes lack the
resources required to implement a waterfront renovation.

Many specialists participating in these one-of-a-kind projects are frequently

constrained by the limits of small-scale riverfronts. The purpose of this study subject
will be to obtain a better knowledge of what obstacles confront the redevelopment
process and why these challenges commonly impede small size waterfront projects
from a professional standpoint. Background studies addressing historical factors,
design, and execution were conducted in order to better understand waterfront
revitalization.

In addition to background research, case studies of successful Owensboro and

Atchison Riverfront projects were created, allowing for the discovery of important
variables required to small-scale reconstruction. In addition, an annotated outline
was created as a reference for future communities to use as a basis for the
successful execution of a small-scale waterfront revitalization project.

This research may be used to explore for the micro impacts of waterfront
development on a tiny scale or component of the study. To make space for the finer
specifics of the waterfront development and how it would benefit residents in Cebu
City.
4. WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE URBAN DESIGN AND PUBLIC
SPACE FRAMEWORK IN MALAYSIA

- Ahmed Al-shams, Ngah Kamarudin, Zaherawati Zakaria, Nazni Noordin

Historically, waterfront projects have gone through numerous stages of development,

becoming one of the most difficult problems for planners and urban designers today.
It reflected a dynamic natural resource with unique characteristics and is regarded as
one of the most important factors influencing the growth and image of cities, with a
significant impact on urbanization and modernization of most cities in the near future,
as most harbor cities in Europe, North America, Australasia, Japan, and others have
experienced.

The research seeks to comprehend the progression of waterfront development within

the context of urban planning and public spaces, as done in Singapore and Turkey,
and provides lessons to be learned by using Johor Bharu as a case study. In the
future, urban studies on waterfronts will be an essential framework in the evolution of
cities. Smart collaboration between local governments and the business sector
should be highlighted more in order to achieve world-class urban and city
development.

The importance of this subject to research is the macro relation of development to

urban planning and public spaces on how it might be correctly situated and scaled.
Furthermore, with the assistance of the local government, it may be the national
government and the business sector on the development of the waterfront with
effective coordination with them enforcing laws and profiting from the project.
