Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Art - Architecture / History of Construction, , language: English, abstract: The Japanese step-chest (kaidan-dansu or hakokaidan) is inextricably linked with the traditional 'machiya'in Kyoto. In contrast to the 'minka', which are farmhouses, fishermen's houses and mountain dwellings, the'machiya' is a merchants' and craftsmen's town-house, specifically in Kyoto, also often called 'kyo-machiya'.Kyoto 'machiya' are traditional townhouses with distinctive Kyoto-style latticework doors and slattedsecond-story windows (fig. 1+2). Machiya are already depicted on 17th century screens and they were stillbuilt during the Taisho period and beyond until about 1936.These wooden houses, where merchants and artisans both lived and worked, provided a space in front fora store, in the middle for family quarters with small garden, and in the rear for workshops and warehouses.Many of them can still be seen in the Gion district and they came to be regarded as one of the typicaltraditional structures which characterise the ancient city of Kyoto.Kyoto, Japan's capital of traditional culture, is one of the few Japanese cities that was spared from thebombings of World War II, yet every year scores of 'machiya' are destroyed, victims of neglect and urbanredevelopment, thus rapidly erasing the traditional urban fabric. Luckily civic groups in Kyoto are workinghard to save the buildings that remain and to preserve this superb example of Kyoto vernacular architecture.Typically the 'machiya' has a narrow front of about 5.5 to 6.4 m (3 to 3.5 'ken') and a depth of around 20 m(11 'ken'). As homes were taxed according to the size of the street frontage, this design originated fromeconomic necessity (fig. 16). However, as merchants became richer, they built larger 'machiya' and it is notunusual to find a frontage of 6 and 7 'ken' (12.7 m).The meaning of the modern concept of the 'module' has an exceptional antecedent in Japan, where forhundreds of years the ordinary houses have been built on the basis of a modular order which is unique.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 1991 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Demographics, Urban Management, Planning, University of London (Bartlett School of Architecture and Planning), course: Development Planning Unit, language: English, abstract: For many people in most of the developing countries which are experiencing rapid urbanisation, the habitat conditions are totally unsatisfactory. It is now widely accepted that one of the major reasons for such a situation 1s the poor management of land.The focus of this paper will be on this issue of urban land in the production of housing in developing countries. In this context the role of land, as the most central human settlement issue, will be analysed by looking at different land tenure concepts and the potential solutions they contain for equitable land allocation strategies. The role of tenure can probably best be illustrated by the importance of political and social problems connected with urban landownership. To mention just a few: urban unrest is often based on landlord-tenant conflicts; urban planning is frequently obstructed by powerful landowners and/or politicians; and there is often rampant corruption in relation to urban land questions and urban planning.The public, as well as the private sector each have an important role to play in the provision of affordable serviced and well-located plots for housing the majority of low-income urban inhabitants. The position which will be taken here is that total state withdrawal from the issue of urban residential land markets is just as unproductive as full state control with outright land nationalisation and redistribution.Because of the difficulties in introducing the Western concept of private freehold, and the risks it involves concerning land speculation and gentrification of areas meant for low-income households, it is preferable to support systems of land tenure and property rights based on traditional communal land tenure systems. This should be done in conjunction with the provision of public services, whereby the government acts as catalysts to attract the private sector to participate in land development for low-cost housing. Appropriate standards and levels of infrastructure must be adopted, taking into account the need for self-help and community participation, with an emphasis on incremental housing, services and infrastructure. …
