2023-05-21T02:10:50+00:00

The research aims to examine the spatial dominance by evaluating the relationship between the spatial configuration of streets network and the proportion of pedestrians. In analyzing the street networks in Space Syntax, the question arises; to what extent the movement and activity may explain street integration among gender-based pedestrians. The result found that there is a correlation between spatial configurative analyses and women present in the streets -the more integrated and localized streets attract more women pedestrians compared to the men. The research is relevant to spatial design interventions and policymaking to improve the gender-equal access to public space.

Urban Food Insecurity: The relationship between community resilience and urban agriculture

2023-05-21T02:10:41+00:00

This article presents the relationship between community resilience and urban agriculture as a strategy for food and nutrition security for vulnerable urban groups. Through a systematic literature review and using thematic analysis, the study reveals four related domains identified as food security, food production, food flow, and resilience strategy. Community resiliency was presented through the contribution of urban agriculture as part of community preparedness, response, and recovery in short and long-term impacts. The study concludes that green space provision in a residential area acts as a viable support system underlining the economic, social, and environmental interaction.
