The Morphology of Evolved Urban Fabric around Farm Ponds

Resilience, water-based ecosystems, and regional urbanization are closely related. Ponds, as a part of subject to the indicators urbanization. The farm ponds in Taoyuan, Taiwan, represent sustainable fulfillment irrigation demand system that has been resilient topological change plate elevation over time. old was developed three stages gradually replaced by canals reservoirs, with lands abolished or demolished for other purposes. This study aimed investigate resilience based on quantitative estimation morphologically evolved urban fabric. Based five types map resources, case studies were made located near away from Green Line Taoyuan Rapid Transit System order explore their potential relationship concept transit-oriented development (TOD). results show high dynamics land-use changes while each one surrounded specific fabric contributed individual history, designated role, major type buildings developed. Quantitative satellite images found developing patterns different convergence stages. Each four pond cases represents stage application pattern integration water and, meantime, maintains culture. verification surface area compared between former 3D scans images.
