AbstractThe ancient Mexican city of Teotihuacan had the most aberrant design of any city in ancient Mesoamerica. I examine similarities and differences between the design of Teotihuacan and other Mesoamerican cities. During the Preclassic period, a set of common Mesoamerican planning principles emerged. The designers of Teotihuacan rejected most of these principles in favor of a new and radical set of planning concepts. After the fall of Teotihuacan, subsequent urban planners ignored the Teotihuacan principles and returned to ancient Mesoamerican planning ideas. Elements of the Teotihuacan plan did not resurface until the Mexica of Tenochtitlan revived them for a specific goal. The historical sequence of central Mexican city layouts highlights the anomalous character of Teotihuacan’s principles of urban design within the canons of ancient Mesoamerican urbanism.

AbstractThis article addresses an urban design issue at a micro-urban design level; the spaces between buildings on neighboring blocks or the side yards, how such spaces they are used, and their social impact on residents. A socio-psychological approach was taken into studying arrangements of these open spaces in contemporary residential zones in—side setback spaces in Japan, and backyards and light shafts in Iran in terms of their similarities and differences. The research involves development policies and interviews with residents in buildings where such conditions prevail, in two different contexts—Shiraz, Iran and Sapporo, Japan, two cities comparative in their size and densities for their cultural differences might have on their social responses. Seventy-two respondents in Shiraz District 6 were recruited by Shiraz University architecture students and in Japan, 75 responses were collected in Central Ward, Sapporo, from various groups of residents. Majority of the windows to side setbacks in Sapporo had matte glasses; therefore, privacy concerns were not among residents. Lack of maintenance in inner courtyards was a major concern for Iranians and they see side setbacks as a challenge to their and safety, however providing opportunities for neighborly atmosphere, if the windows have matte glasses and provided with guards. It argues that contacts are not controlled are perceived the same in two different cultures; however, the arrangement of open spaces play a role in light reception and ventilation in Japanese example.

This paper analyses connections between culture and architecture, and between political ideology and capital planning in a region of China. It poses two crucial questions: first, what were the contrasting architectural expressions between imperial palaces in Shenyang? Second, what were the underlying planning concepts of Shenyang, and what urban design models were used to realize that concept? This study shows that the development of Manchurian architecture and planning had been a result of cultural confluence and political governance.

The City

One of the characteristic forms of suburban development in the second half of the 20th century is urban sprawl. Various authors state that sprawl characterizes the urban development of both capitalist and former socialist cities. The cities of Central and Eastern Europe, however, remained compact during the entire period of socialism, and did not begin dispersed development until the 90?s. The goal of this paper is to examine the spatial-functional characteristics of the capitalist sprawl model and determine similarities and differences to the post-socialist suburban development patterns. A typical sprawling settlement of the capitalist city is presented in this paper: Platte Ridge neighborhood in the metropolitan area of Kansas City, Missouri, USA. Then two suburban segments of the City of Nis, Serbia from the post-socialist period are analyzed, which represent typical cases of the residential and retail decentralization: Podvinik/Vinik residential zone beyond the urban boundary, and a retail center at the periphery of the city in Duvaniste neighborhood. The paper points out to problems that urban design of capitalist sprawl produces in the usage of space in the post-socialist city.

Privately built satellite cities are becoming an increasingly common urban development concept in peri-urban areas of South-east Asian cities. While these projects are beginning to receive academic attention, the majority of studies have a limited capacity to explain why and how they are produced. Most satellite cities built in the past five years have some degree of foreign influence from other East Asian countries in terms of invested capital, planning concepts or urban design and architecture. The majority of this influence originates from within the East Asian region. This paper argues that an investigation which incorporates both the relational and the territorial can increase an understanding of the production of satellite cities. This argument is illustrated with empirical research on two satellite city projects in Phnom Penh, Cambodia: one by a Korean developer and another by Indonesian conglomerate Ciputra.

Mass Rapid Transit

According to the Jakarta BPS (2019), population density in the Jakarta area has reached an average of 15,938 people/km2 in 2019. Such population density creates a population mobility of up to 1.2 million people per day based on the results of the 2019 Jabodetabek Commuter Survey. Therefore, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government has collaborated with the Jakarta MRT to start making an Urban Design for Mass Rapid Transit (MRT). In the construction of 13 MRT stations, the government needs to think about how the concept of the Integrated Transit Area (TOD) will be formed in the area around the station. The MRT project was completed on March 24, 2019. One of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government's planning concepts applied is the MRT Fatmawati TOD area with the gateway concept, which is a system of integration of the city transportation mode with a feeder system to the origin's central area that is outside the initial transit point development area. After one year has passed, the Fatmawati MRT area needs to be evaluated based on indicators set by the Government and local NGOs to measure the feasibility of the Fatmawati MRT function as a gateway TOD area and whether the TOD policy itself is appropriate for the integrated Fatmawati MRT area. Keywords:  Transit Oriented Development; Feasibility; MRT FatmawatiAbstrakMenurut BPS Jakarta (2019), kepadatan penduduk di daerah Jakarta sudah sampai dengan rata-rata 15.938 jiwa/km2 pada tahun 2019. Kepadatan penduduk demikian menciptakan mobilitas penduduk sampai dengan 1,2 juta orang per hari berdasarkan hasil Survei Komuter Jabodetabek 2019. Untuk itu. Pemprov DKI Jakarta telah bekerjasama dengan MRT Jakarta untuk mulai membuat Perancangan Kota (Urban Design) untuk sistem angkutan massal yang bernama Mass Rapid Transit (MRT). Dalam pembangunan 13 stasiun MRT, pemerintah perlu memikirkan bagaimana konsep Kawasan Transit Terpadu (TOD) yang akan terbentuk pada kawasan sekitar stasiun. Proyek MRT ini selesai dibangun pada tanggal 24 Maret 2019 dan menjadi jawaban untuk mewadahi mobilitas penduduk yang tinggi. Salah satu konsep perencanaan Pemprov DKI Jakara yang diterapkan yaitu pada kawasan TOD MRT Fatmawati dengan konsep gateway, yaitu sistem integrasi jaringan moda transportasi kota dengan sistem feeder ke area pusat origin yang berada di luar area pengembangan titik transit awal, mengembangkan fungsi yang dapat mengakomodasikan aktivitas live-play-work, yang berfungsi sebagai daerah ‘origin’, dan mengembangkan sarana parkir komunal untuk fasilitas park and ride. Setelah satu tahun berlalu, kawasan MRT Fatmawati perlu dievaluasi berdasarkan indikator yang sudah ditetapkan oleh Pemerintah dan LSM setempat untuk mengukur kelayakan fungsi MRT Fatmawati sebagai kawasan TOD gateway dan apakah kebijakan TOD itu sendiri sudah sesuai terhadap kawasan terpadu MRT Fatmawati.

Karwinskia humboldtiana is a poisonous plant that grows in semi desertic areas in north and central México. It produces several substances with different toxic effects. One of them designated T-514 damages severely the lung, kidney and liver, producing in the hepatoeyte large intracellular fat deposits and necrosis. Preliminary observations demonstrated that three is a decrease in the amount of peroxisomes in the hepatocytes of experimentally intoxicated rats and monkeys. To study the effect exerted by the T-514 on peroxisomes, a yeast model was selected, thus, three species: Saccha romices cerevisiae, Ilansenula polymorpha and Candida boidinii were used, because there is information concerning their peroxisome's morphology, enzyme content, biological behaviour under different culture conditions and biogenesis.

Similarities And Differences

The oral form-discrimination abilities of 18 orally educated and oriented deaf high school subjects were determined and compared to those of manually educated and oriented deaf subjects and normal-hearing subjects. The similarities and differences among the responses of the three groups were discussed and then compared to responses elicited from subjects with functional disorders of articulation. In general, the discrimination scores separated the manual deaf from the other two groups, particularly when differences in form shapes were involved in the test. The implications of the results for theories relating orosensory-discrimination abilities are discussed. It is postulated that, while a failure in oroperceptual functioning may lead to disorders of articulation, a failure to use the oral mechanism for speech activities, even in persons with normal orosensory capabilities, may result in poor performance on oroperceptual tasks.
