Research On Urban Morphology Of Hualin Jade Market In Guangzhou

Hualin jade market area is located in Xiguan, guangzhou, it is the largest jade market insouth China. After years of development, the region has formed a diversified business formand material space, and become a distinctive urban commercial area. This paper try to use theConzeniens’ analytical methods about urban form (Town planning analysis) on Hualin jademarket area’s morphological characteristic, to analyze the relationship about businessactivities form and material space as a starting point, discusses the similarities and differencesand motivation factors in this area. Through the case study,we can supple the case study inthe micro level, and practice the theory application of professional market area.In the preface, this study will introduces the background and research object, reviews theresearch status at home and abroad, expounds the related concepts, specific researchsignificance, draft research method and research frameworkIn the main part, first, this paper summarize the market area’s general information andits historical development. Then identify the key research areas, and according to its formyears and commercial activities, the region is divided into stall before area, independentshops area and large centralized area. In the next three chapters, each region will be studied ingreat details. The concrete content includes: First, the development situation and developmenttiming of each region; the second is the analysis of the physical form of the three elements-plan units, building types and land uses one by one, on this basis to be consolidated, and thendivided into “sub-morphological regions”, and features of the commercial activities; the thirdis summarizes the morphological characteristics and causes of the morphological regions andthe features of the commercial activities. Finally, on the basis of the research of each part ofthe morphology, went back to the whole. The last part will analyze the various forms of theelements of the location, integration of the business, region-street system, blocks,plots,building types and he relationship between urban development and commercialdevelopment which reveals the overall morphological characteristics and evolution of Hualinjade market area. Hope that through this research, can given reference and guidance for updateddevelopment of professional market in guangzhou city.
