of urban land use to, street are normally treated as liner public space
connected to each other in a network, with buildings and other
structure on one or each site. This particular structure allow than to
serve many function. such as mobility, commerce, recreation,
aesthetics, public health and social interaction. Street shopper,
pedestrian and vehicular traffics in heritage street may have been a
catalyst for city dynamic. This catalyst provides a continuous movement
within the outdoor of street. The street offer a variety of forms,
fashion, pattern, design and colors and tradition of the city. The

centers on improving people’s well-being and promoting urban
prosperity, reflecting a recognition of the street space as an integral
factor to achieve sustainable urban development. Specifically,
studies of cities around the world have found that proper
management of street spaces plays a key role in five aspects of
urban prosperity: Infrastructure development, environmental
sustainability, productivity, quality of life, and equity and social
inclusion .Unlike other land uses, such as residential, commercial,
and industrial types, the various during planning and the
information about these functions is rarely collected during use,
although administrative agencies of transportation and urban
planning usually maintain the classification of transport uses for
roads, such as hierarchical road systems. Instead, the place-related
functions of streets usually emerge as a result of human interaction
with the physical environment of street spaces, hence the latter
could somehow reflect those urban functions. Therefore, the
richness and variation of the multi-functionality of streets and the
lack of information about place-related functions in administrative
data pose challenges to land-use classification in that how and
where those streets serving deferent functions are delineated and
distributed spatially across a heritage city.
11
good enough for two-dimensional land features, yet is incapable of
sensing the street as a three dimensional space, including the
pavement of lanes, trees, facades of buildings on the sides, and other
features. More importantly, the standard approach does not take a
citizen perspective that senses and perceives the physical
appearance of streets from a human viewpoint. The measurement
and quality of the streetscape, which refers to the appearance and
arrangement
of physical features of the street space, have been a central topic in
the urban design literature . Features characterizing the streetscape
have been proposed, such as streetscape skeleton variables and
streetscape or scene elements, among which important features
include enclosure, openness, and greenery. Enclosure is the
property of a contained street space with room-like proportions
related to the amount of building facades on each side of the street.
Openness refers to the amount of sky visibility in the scene.
Greenery is the proportion of green space covered by trees or other
vegetation in the scene. With the proliferation have been widely
used to extract the streetscape features from data, such as building
footprints, street parcels, and tree canopy mappings, in large-scale
analysis at the city level. They have largely mitigated the drawbacks
of the time-consuming approach of field , which are restricted to
small-scale empirical studies.
A series of recent studies managed to extract streetscape features
from SVIs and applied them in a range of applications, including the
perception and quality of the urban environment , street livability
and walk ability , environmental audit for human health and
wellbeing , urban inequality and socioeconomic changes of
neighborhoods , urban safety , and information retrieval for adjacent
land uses . Among these studies, many assume implicitly or
explicitly that the extracted streetscape features, representing the
physical appearance of streets, from SVIs can reflect place-related
functions that serve human activities both on the street and those
associated with the uses of buildings on the sides .

2.3 List of Elements

space, as an important place for urban vitality, and its place-related
activities and functions, such as recreation, aesthetics, public health,
and social interactions, have been discussed and understood
separately in specific domains of the literature . There is still a lack
of large-scale empirical studies that quantitatively test if the
physical appearance of a street space can reflect fundamental urban
functions for a large city. Furthermore, because of the richness and
complexity of these functions the street space can serve, it remains
intangible that how and where those streets serving deferent place-
related functions are delineated and distributed spatially across a
city. It would be greatly desirable for planners and researchers to
obtain an indicator of specific urban functions for street spaces, as
the information about the functions of street spaces cannot be
collected as straightforwardly and directly as other land-use
information. The physical appearance of the street space, termed
streetscape, and its characteristics have been the central interest for
urban designers and planners. Traditional remote sensing as a
standard approach to existing LULC research, taking a sky
viewpoint, can hardly capture the relevant dimensions not only due
to the resolution issue but also because of the lack of a citizen
perspective. The proliferation of street view images (SVIs), such as
Google StreetView, provides an unprecedented opportunity to
characterize the streetscape from a citizen perspective at the human
scale for an entire city. Taking advantage of this approach, The
proposed classification scheme for the streetscape can serve as an
indirect indicator of place-related functions, if not a direct one, once
its relationship with urban functions is empirically tested and
established. This approach was empirically applied to jaipur city to
demonstrate its validity. The rest of this paper is organized as
follows. The second section reviews the various urban functions that
streets can serve from different domains of the literature and
discusses the data approaches to the measurement of the physical
appearance of street spaces. The third section introduces the study
area and proposes an analytical framework of characterizing and
14
classifying street spaces in order to test the correspondence of
street features to urban functions. This is followed by a detailed
description of the involved methods and data within the framework.
Section discusses the analytical results after applying the framework
to the study area. Section draws the conclusions and speculates on
future work.

According to Louis Herbert, in his book ‘Tools for Text and Image
Analysis: An Introduction to Applied Semiotics’, has given 10 tools
for semiotic analysis of texts and images . The study considers
façade as one composition and thus transforms it into an image. This
way, the architecture of street façade, qualifies for the semiotic
analysis.
16
The study started with the review of established knowledge
regarding this field in the literature. This led to the research gap
identification and approach to fill this gap. The approach chosen has
to be justified by doing case study of already tried and tested
methods. In this case, studies were selected by its use in the study,
i.e. for methods of data collection and for using the data to arrive at
desired result. The data collection processes emerged after this step
and the data was synthesized using semiotic tools. The principal
results from here were used for the visual preference list generation
leading to the visual identity designs of the city.
17
4.3 Visual Palette
The visual palette created as the last step of this study shows
the elements that form identifying features of architecture of
the area. The elements have been broke down to meta-
elements and their importance is established through
validation. The elements like cornice details, wall paintings,
and massing. grabbed viewer’s attention first and helped in
recognition of the place. Thus, they have been used in the final
palette that can be used by urban designers and planners while
proposingstreet facades of new developments in the city.

with a strong root of urbanity such that consumers gain access to
products through retail establishments, small shops, and service
outlets . Urbanization places important value on principal streets as
public realms that meet our daily needs. In the present study, the
concept of principal street encompasses a mixed commercial and
residential street that stretches to a monument that exerts a
powerful local, cultural, and historical significance.
The elements of a principal street include buildings, service lines,
street furniture, vegetation, and other physical structures in built
form that changes with time. These changes occur in built-up
additions in old works or in new ones . The urban setting is
undergoing an evolutionary process, and street elements tend to be
reproduced or disappear . Elements that are part of a well-
connected and accessible street are likely to survive, whereas
elements connected to weak local structures are likely to disappear.
These additions and removal of elements are due to the relationship
and connection that communities have with street elements. The
elements that survive contribute to the functioning of a street.

This section identifys the planning trends, to which India has been
exposed. With a brief introduction to traditional design norms and
changing planning profession, the section focuses on the laws which
control the physical development. As the purpose of this part is to
create a base for analysis of the physical development of streets, detail
account of desing norms or the laws of town planning like safety codes,

circumstances such as a dividing river or a green belt may significantly
contribute to the formation of different districts.
Since the identity of the neighborhood grows from the continuous
relationship between the place and its residents, the neighborhood is
expected to become its residents’ cultural creation and at the same time a
means for the preservation of the cultural continuity of the city.

is a valued element, but his focus is on the individual character of
such buildings, not on the whole; however, by arguing that the
smallest tenements can be just as important as the palaces, he
considers domestic architecture to be a fundamental and structural
element of the ‘fairest cities’. In addition, it shows
Ruskin’s belief in the relation between social processes and spatial
form. He did not identify the value of the whole, but made a start by
identifying the value of more than just some specific palaces. For
Ruskin, urban fabric consists of varied assemblies, in which all
buildings could be preserved. Moreover, he argues this specifically
only for the survival of a few pre-industrial cities in western
countries.
29
basic figure of landscape-based heritage management. While Ruskin
argues for the conservation of the individual elements that convey
memorial and social values, Sitte mostly argues their sum in historic
and esthetical values. Francoise Choay declares Sitte to be the first
of a generation of urban morphologists who really focused on the
existing city and its essential (tangible) elements. Sitte’s theories
also apply to the conservation of pre-industrial cities for their
picturesque and historic qualities. Charles Buls, a contemporary
supporter of Sitte’s
ideas, additionally argues that the demolishing of smaller structures
has to be placed within the bigger picture of the city, the immediate
context, and also in relation to meach other, as together they might
comprise value which is not understood when dealt with separately.
Sitte and Buls together provided us with a new objective in urban
planning: the preservation of urban structure and fabric.

of a city, he analyses its behaviour both of and in the landscape. By
that he introduced methods to survey urban settlements and their
inhabitants in relation to their heritage, the beginning of an
evidence-based planning process, leading to the observational
model of survey to diagnosis and plan. This again is very much
related to the HUL approach, where the first step to implementing
such an approach is ‘to undertake comprehensive surveys and
mapping of the city’s natural, cultural and human resources’. Before
any demolition could take place, Geddes insisted on a detailed
survey of past, present, and future alternatives — very similar to
what is nowadays called ‘cultural significance assessment’ or
‘heritage impact assessment’, so, even though these words might be
new, the practices are surely not. Geddes would meticulously log a
building’s condition, but also set it contextually within its historical
significance and cultural meaning within local traditions and
customs. Geddes was truly aiming for more holistic research on the
city, conceptualized in his ‘thinking machine’ triad of place, work,
and folk, indicating a direct relation that exists between spatial
form, economic activity, and socio-cultural processes. Geddes also
called for participation of many actors and stimulated the local
community to get to know their city. A direct relation to heritage
management is apparent here as stakeholder
consultation, since its beginnings, has been a very important part of
it. Already in 1972, UNESCO states that the public should be closely
associated with the actions undertaken to protect cultural heritage,
be informed of what they can do, and ‘should be called on for
suggestions and help’ . This injunction is taken up in the HUL
recommendation where organizations are stimulated to ‘reach
consensus using participatory planning and stakeholder
consultations’. Geddes preferred to establish a process of locally
rooted interventions, postponing concrete design proposals, as he
valued the process over a final image. All in all, Geddes provided us
with the basis of an integrated, process-oriented approach towards
31
urban development which is now being explored and further
developed in the field of cultural heritage management.
Geddes approaches the city from a development point of view, not
focusing on heritage as such, although it is interesting he takes it
seriously.

unique aura of heritage space can easily be detected by the end-
users visual and internal senses either it’s good or bad sense of
place. This leads to preference and choice in decision making for
visiting places. The most preferred visiting place is to places with
sense of place such as heritage streets either for urban recreation or
shopping pleasure. In exacting end users’ consumption from
marketplace in heritage streets the heritage streets shall have an
authentic attraction to offer. The heritage streets’ livability acts as a
significant indicator in valuing the heritage property. Its’ existence
acts as an evidence of survivalist quality and adaptability of
purchasing power all along the street. Its’ physical settings and
characteristic provide contextual cue and visual appropriateness to
end-users in appreciating visual richness. This personal sense will
assist them to develop personalization towards the space in the
heritage streets. Furthermore, if the vibrancy of colour, music,
trendy fashion, latest collection, antique collection and updated
design really made the marketing activity around the clock in the
heritage street will keep the end-users time, energy and money
busily occupied all the time. Thus, this research will share twofold:
physical attributes and spiritual attributes. These attributes should
be included in the heritage manager’s guidelines in revitalizing
urban heritage streets. this research focused on evaluating selected
urban architectural heritage revitalization streets and the space in
between heritage streets only.

strategy of revitalization is through enhancement of its revitalizing

though parallels can be found between the Jaipur planning
principles and traditional texts on spatial organization such as
Rajvallabha, the regional 15th century text written by the sutradhar
Mandan.
• Two significant facts responsible for the origin of the city
and its subsequent layout were:
a) The need of a new capital for 18th century Dhoondhar
as the earlier one of Amber built on a hill was getting
congested;
b) Sawai Raja Jai Singh’s vision of the new capital as a
strong political statement at par with Mughal cities and
as a thriving trade and commerce hub for the region.
The generic plan of a medieval Rajasthani The hill town of Dausa with an organic
hill town- as in Dausa and Amber layout guided by t he topography
• Unlike Dausa and Amber, the two previous capital cities of the
Dhoondhar region established on hill-top, whose planning was
guided by topographical structure of the areas, Jaipur city was
40
revolutionary both in terms of its grid-iron pattern planning and its
location at the base of the hills.
• The site selected for establishing the new capital of Jaipur was a
valley located south of Amber and the plains beyond, a terrain that
was the bed of a dried lake. There used to be dense forest cover to
the north and the east of the city.

43
• Later in the 18th and 19th centuries, there were additions in the
built fabric of the city and the palace such as the Hawa Mahal and a
number of temples added by Sawai Pratap Singh under whom the
Jaipur architectural vocabulary reached its peak in terms of
stylization.
• In the 19th century, with the accession of Sawai Ram Singh II, the
city extended beyond the old city walls, adapted newer modes of
transport such as the railways with a railway station located on the
western outskirts, started using gaslights on the streets and adopted
modernized drainage and piped water supply system.

of Rajasthan leading to further attraction of administrative and
economic activities. These factors led to increased development of
residential areas to cater to the growing population.

5.7 URBAN FORM AND ARCHITECTURAL IDENTITY
View of a main bazaar street - the width of the main roads was kept 39 1/4 gaz - 108 feet, secondary roads
are half this size - 54 feet, the tertiary roads are 27 feet and the inner mohalla streets are 13 feet wide
• Junctions of the main axial streets formed the two square public
open spaces called chaupars (Badi chaupar and Chhoti chaupar).
46
The width of the square chaupars was three times that of the main
street.
• Historically, the chaupars were outlets for intense social use with
water structures connected by underground aqueducts, supplying
numerous sources of drinking water at street level. Presently,
the centre of each chaupar has square enclosures with ornamental
fountains.
47
Bazaar streets have temples above shops with wide staircase starting from pavement to the temple level.
Space above shops at first floor level originally functioned as galleries for watching royal processions,
religious festivals and public celebrations

5.8 Structural Relation
The first step for this analysis is a selection of the facade that has to
be studied.
Step 1)Elements’ Selection.
The elements that are under observation have been taken from
survey results. The elements that are most recognized by people will
be studied on the street facades.

block prints’ design of Sanganer area, and the art is
known as Sanganeri block print… as we seen in picture…

Colour palette chosen for Jaipur. Source reference
Thus from the previous step, it can be inferred that buildings on the
street façade have a very strong relationship with each other, which
is not just about the use of architectural elements. The established
relations are ;
• colour,
• shapes, and
• painting patterns.

5.11 INTANGIBLE HERITAGE
• The Dhoondhar rulers are known to be the patrons of arts and crafts from
the period of Raja Man Singh (1590 – 1614). Besides the buildings crafts of
stone carving, mirror works and inlays; an indigenous fresco technique done
on araish evolved, examples of which can be seen in Bairat caravan serai,
Bharmal Ki Chhatri from the period of Man Singh (influence from the Mughal
Court of Akbar), and in Ganesh Pol (1639), Amber, from the period of Mirza
Raja Jai Singh with Mughal influences later absorbed to develop integrated
style.
The meta-elements chosen have been disintegrated and layer of colour and
texture has been added to it. First is thedesign on cornice and eaves The last
element that according to this analysis, creates identity of Jaipur, is

5.12 CHALLENGES TO HERITAGE-BASED URBAN DEVELOPMENT
61
An inner street with evident visual clutter due to excessive commercial advertisements, electrical wires and
cables and encroachment by parked two wheelers
62
5.12.2 Electrical wiring and services
• The overhead wires and cables for electrical supply, telephone wiring and
television cables in the walled city area not only cause an aesthetic issue for
the built heritage as they are loose and unorganized obscuring the building
façades, but are possible sources of electric and fire hazard. Another threat is
main transformers situated in dense areas without sufficient setback from the
street creating a fire and safety hazard.
loose hanging cables and wires are a visual and physical threat
63
5.12.3 Vehicular traffic and parking
• The longer east- west axis of the city that is marked by Suraj Pol and Chand
Pol is about three kilometres in length. Hence, the entire walled city was
meant to be accessible to the common man on foot. The main roads were used
by elephants, carriages, horses and camels and footpaths by pedestrians; and
the internal chowkries were a composition of self sustaining clusters, with
narrow road widths.
64
6.0 conclusion……
The study gives a palette of elements for designers to use while planning
street facades in new developments. The same methodology can be used to
investigate user preferences in these heritage areas and show their
significance the methodology can be used by other researchers to create
similar element palettes for other heritage areas in India. The analysis tools
used here can also be applied to individual building facades and identity of
certain buildings, that have anionic image attached to them, can also be
examined.
Moreover, the study can expanded to the analysis of spatial
planning in heritage areas of Indian cities sousing the same methodology. The
list of research came as a result of can be used by designers and planners to
come up with urban cape that is more sensitive to the context. These elements
are key identity makers of the architecture of the area and the people of these
heritage precincts relate with them the most, visually.
