| Summary: | Bibliometric or thematic analysis is a type of research approach used in the library and information science. This
paper aims to analyze the street network elements as one of the city organisms that is integral to the city's cohesive
form. The street network also influences the genome of urban morphology. In this research, the qualitative analysis
and statistics were used to describe a publication pattern in the given body of literature. The publications from Scopus
and Web of Science were compiled and analyzed in depth. The finding showed that urban morphologies' genome
had been indeed influenced by the street network components, namely street hierarchy, permeability and legibility,
streetscapes and pedestrian movement. The components were mutually present in the urban morphology genome,
which can accelerate the movement within the city. The street hierarchy shows that this structure becomes an
organism that viral for the city's development. The transition of the street's hierarchical system contributes to the
changes or evolution of the city from time to time. Meanwhile, permeability represents the image of the city. The
physical and visual images of a city are essential to leapfrog the city to reach the global recognition level. However,
the inconsistency of implementation of the permeability element will negatively impact the place. Urban streetscape
is essential to avoid a negative impression on the city image, which should have otherwise provided a city's visual
richness. Lastly, pedestrian accessibility through appreciation of the street network attracts the movement within the
public spaces. In conclusion, the street network components were found to have influenced onto the city's
morphology over time and became a backbone for the latter, reflecting the urbanization process. Nevertheless, based
on the bibliometric analysis, the study of street network morphology has not been sufficiently extended from many
Asian countries' theoretical ground. |
