Leveraging GIS for Enhanced Urban Planning Insights from Global Street Networks

By Shahabuddin Amerudin Introduction Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become indispensable tools in urban planning, offering the capability to analyze spatial data and derive actionable insights for optimizing city layouts. By examining street network configurations from various global cities, GIS technologies can be leveraged to address urban planning challenges, improve infrastructure, and enhance overall city functionality. This discussion explores how GIS can be applied to different street network patterns, taking into account both historical and contemporary planning strategies. 1. Street Network Analysis and Planning 1.1. Grid vs. Organic Patterns GIS technologies provide robust methods for analyzing the efficiency and effectiveness […]

The Influence of Street Network Configurations on Urban Planning and Population Dynamics

By Shahabuddin Amerudin Introduction Urban planning is a multifaceted discipline that orchestrates the development and organization of cities to optimize functionality, sustainability, and livability. A fundamental component of urban planning is the design and configuration of street networks, which serve as the skeletal framework of urban spaces. Street networks not only facilitate transportation and connectivity but also profoundly influence land use patterns, economic activities, social interactions, and environmental outcomes (Hillier & Hanson, 1984; Marshall, 2005). The interplay between street network configurations and city populations is intricate, reflecting historical contexts, geographical constraints, and evolving urban development philosophies. This article delves into

The Satellite Image of Medina: A Glimpse into the Heart of Islamic History

The Satellite Image of Medina: A Glimpse into the Heart of Islamic History

By Shahabuddin Amerudin The satellite image provided offers a breathtaking aerial view of Medina, one of the holiest cities in Islam. Located in the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia, Medina is a city steeped in religious significance and historical importance. At the heart of this image lies Al-Masjid an-Nabawi, the Prophet’s Mosque, which is the focal point of the city both spiritually and geographically. The mosque, easily identifiable by its sprawling courtyards and multiple minarets, is one of the most revered sites in Islam, second only to the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca. Surrounding the mosque, the urban layout of Medina

Boids Algorithm for Simulating Crowd Movement in Urban Planning and Disaster Management

By Shahabuddin Amerudin Abstract The ability to accurately simulate crowd movement during emergencies is critical in urban planning and disaster management, as it helps design effective evacuation strategies and minimizes the potential for casualties. The Boids algorithm, initially developed to replicate the flocking behavior of birds, provides a versatile framework for modeling the dynamics of crowd movement. This paper explores the application of the Boids algorithm in simulating crowd movement during emergency situations such as floods, analyzing its strengths and limitations. Supported by a comprehensive literature review, this discussion examines the algorithm’s effectiveness in various scenarios, its potential for integration
