Urban Landscape Patterns of Ia?i City. Analysing City Relations Between Urban Land use, Topography and Inhabitants Pressure Upon Urban Morphology

摘要

The quality of urban environment has increasingly been regarded as an important matter, being analysed from different points of view (quality of life, economic trends, accessibility to major facilities etc.). In this study case, we use Ia?i Municipality for analysing city-wide relationships betwen anthtropogenic factors (landuse, connectivity, population density, occurence of urban facilities) and natural ones (topographic features transformed into landslide susceptability). The indicators taken into consideration, appended into an factorial analyses are predictors for changing environment in a dynamic context. Connectivity is the most influent factor, having the capability to reshape the structure of density of population or occurence of facilities whence they modify the shape of the entire city. The landscape patterns of Ia?i city reveal a different image upon landuse of the city, creating an integral display upon the urban area analysed.
