SYNTACTIC MEASUREMENT UNTUK PEMETAAN POLA EVAKUASI PADA PUSAT KOTA (STUDI KASUS KOTA NAGA, FILIPINA)

Abstract

Living in a dense urban center with high natural disaster risk, require an effective evacuation strategy to save many lives while disaster happen. To design an evacuation and mitigation plan effectively, it should be based on the measurement of potential pattern that created on the spatial nature of urban center. Philippines is chosen as a case study because it is known that it still experiencing some natural disaster seasonally, including Naga City that still has a poor evacuation planning, such as urban-scale assembly point plan. The space syntax method is used to determine the quality degree of evacuation planning to assembly point in scale such as sub-urban or urban scale, where in this research is applied in urban center of Naga City. The quality is assessed by several indicators, including connectivity, choice, integration, nodes, and depth. It is identified and found that the public spaces in Naga City is the most potential assembly point in case of mitigation, based on syntactic analysis with space syntax method. disaster evacuation mapping is important as a basis for public information and management in urban scale.
