Abstract:
Geomatics allows for advanced modeling of phenomena in space and for the observation of process development in time. It enables comparative analyses of various aspects of urban-scape, including the social and human dimensions. At this time, the scope of urban data required by legal regulations is limited to basic issues, including land-use zoning, transportation and, cultural/natural values preservation. Successful sustainable urban environmental planning requires concentration on other aspects of city structure, with special emphasis on urban morphology analyses. Such an approach is more appropriate to the mixed used development and revitalisation processes, which take place in urbanised areas. The paper provides insights into the importance and challenges of using urban structure analysis from different perspectives: social, cultural, urban planning and design, and explains the main fields of contemporary urban morphological analyses, reviewing the geomatics use in this field.
