Phase 3 Urban Catalyst Center Tutorial Progress 2 - Spatial Layout

# data[].attributes.body
Here’s my progress for the spatial layout. In terms of massing, I’m intended to separate the spaces into two main categories interactive center and learning area. The spatial layout is arranged  based of the journey when experiencing the center, which is at the first to draw their attention on the main issue and raise their awareness (ground floor). Afterwards, we can thus envision how we can resolve the issue by educating (first floor) and what can we do to improve the site, by providing water treatment solution and enhance economical growth-food production (Second floor). Attached pdf is my findings and study on the spatial zoning thank you

Small town plays an important role when it comes to the rural landscapes and food systems. The urban population escalate the pressure on food systems as the farming system in rural area is in a declining proportion. With this concern of food quantity, small town takes an crucial role in food systems.

The context in rural area will also drive their economic growth. There’s many small town develop in close symbiosis with their rural region like the case in Ghana which is famous for its Cocoa.

In conclusion, a lot of small towns, including Sekinchan, they have great potential due to their geographic location and key activities (agricultural production and fisheries).Therefore, it is important for rural transformation in order to balance the food systems and economic inequality

This literature studies on the depopulation situations in Oliena. One of the main issues is their ongoing abandonment in their previous settlement and it can be seen that the lack of networking between the community. There are few approaches to tackle this situation;

1.       A large network of diverse activities is spread through technologies

2.       Public event was held through exhibition and discussing the potentials within workshops and seminars that are open to public

In short, lesson learnt from this casa study is that participatory tools are important to know the local perception and needs. Two-way dialogue allows both parties to raise awareness and analyzing their common goal on the town regeneration.

Rural revival is united effort from the whole community to improve the quality of life and local economy. It is about the community utilizing physical and social resources to enhance local development opportunities. There are few aspects of revival process;

1.       In terms of social aspect, positive mindset and attitude is important within the community. In Boonah, Queensland, the local has the same vision that institution can be a dynamic force to contribute to the positive revitalization.

2.       Implementing a comprehensive and locally owned local economic development. Key element of economic renewal is to support existing local business, at the same time recruit compatible new business to stimulate the employment activities.

To sum up, in this article it emphasizes on the close interaction within community. It acts as a catalyst to stimulate the social to take initiative or generate ideas on economic development. I do agree that not only on the spatial aspect should be taken into account, but on social mindset it needs to be taken into consideration as well in revitalizing a small town economy.

Based on my understanding of this article, it studies how does small town successfully rejuvenate their economy by emphasizing on their local assets rather than just recruiting large retailers to boost up the economy in small town. There are few tactics summaries as below:

1.       Identify the existing assets. The assets might not be an existing landmark or structure but it also can be part of natural beauty. Bend, Oregon is a great example by giving high priority to the river where it was then become a distinctive destination where people can celebrate the history along Deschutes River.

2.       Create a clean and pleasant environment. Protecting natural environment and improving a network of trails by establishing 12 sustainability principles that guide the city operations can keep the younger generation from fleeing small town for big cities.

3.       Engagement within community. The cooperation within community is vital to generate a durable economic growth. For instance, State University of New York (SUNY) enlist students to engage in revitalization efforts by bringing projects to the public about community events.
