Zone of transition
- 2. TRANSITION ZONE: By some authors In 1967, Zaremba, defined the transitional zone between rural and urban area as “off-town areas”, whose characteristic features include: Sparsely built-up area, intensively used horticultural farms, incomplete communal infrastructure, sparsely situated industrial and warehousing facilities, and sports and leisure greenery. These areas are also regarded as temporary (transitional) form of the land use, preceding the phase of more intense building development. The transitional zone can also be regarded as the border zone, which covers a structurally non-uniform area of direct contact of urban investment and open land, associated with a different extent and during different periods with the presence of the administrative border of the town. 2
- 3. TRANSITION ZONE: By some authors According to Słodczyk , there are forms and functions typical of rural and urban areas that inter-permeate in the transitional zone formed on the outskirts of a developing town. It is an area situated in the immediate vicinity of the town, linked with the town in a variety of ways and steadily transformed as a result of these links. 3
- 4. DEFINITION • Transition areas as the space (not necessarily empty) between areas with single-family homes and areas with commercial buildings. • In transition areas, the size and height of buildings generally get smaller as you move away from commercial areas into neighborhood residential areas. • Transition zones are the zoning categories assigned to parcels or lots in a transition area. 4
- 6. 6 According to Burgess Urban Land Use Model: Urban growth is a process of expansion and reconversion of land uses, with a tendency of each inner zone to expand towards the outer zone. In the shown figure, zone II (Factory zone) is expanding towards zone IV (Working class zone), creating a transition zone with the reconversion of land use. 1. CONCENTRIC ZONE MODEL BY: BURGESS MODEL
- 7. 7 • The model was developed when American cities were growing very fast in demographic terms, and when motorized transportation was still uncommon, most people used public transit. • The expansion thus involved reconversion of existing land uses. • This concept cannot be applied effectively in a contemporary (from the second half to the 20th century) context where highways have enabled urban development. FAILURES
- 9. STEP 1: LOCATION OF THE STUDY AREA 9 ▧ Image taken from GIS. ▧ Defined all the residential, commercial, public, semi-public plots, agriculture land, mining areas, forests, objects under construction.
- 10. STEP 2: DEFINING THE LANDUSES 10 ▧ Data from Corine Land over data and divided into 44 classes which describes five categories: Artificial surfaces, Agricultural areas, forest and semi-natural areas , open spaces with little no vegetation and wetlands and water bodies.
- 11. STEP 3: DETERMINING THE BORDERS OF URBAN AND RURAL AREAS 11 ▧ When determining the borders of urban and rural investment, the space thus formed, which cannot be assigned to either of the functions, is present only at places where the method of use is considerably affected by both urban and rural use.
