| Summary: | The traditional literature on urban identity in planning theory extensively discusses
architectural and geographical landscape elements, while biotic elements receive
less attention. This dissertation aimed to uncover the role of biotic elements in
shaping the urban identity, encompassing the contexts of identity of urban, identity
in urban, and identity for urban. Additionally, the dissertation sought to explain
those three concepts of urban identity, facilitating a clearer understanding in both
theoretical and practical planning contexts. Employing a case study strategy, the
dissertation focused on the singular case of Watansoppeng City, known for its bat
habitat in the city center. Data collection methods included interviews,
observations, documentation, and data extraction from Google Review.
The findings of the dissertation presented a conceptual framework for urban
identity, consisting of identity of urban, identity in urban, and identity for urban.
Furthermore, the study revealed the significant role of biotic elements as the
identity of urban Watansoppeng, contributors to the community identity (identity in
urban) in Watansoppeng, and materials for branding Watansoppeng City (identity
for urban). |
