2. Analyzing the current conditions

a, Transportation

Having a look on graphs, it can be seen that the main transportations of West Lake from 1943-

2013 have been formed for a long time and kept no change until now, they become the main

roads connecting the regions around West Lake now.

In 1943, there were concentrated many crafting villages, fishing villages, development of agri-

culture formed the villages, thus transportation here was formed naturally, not planned in de-

tail.

In 1992, our country started the renovation period, West Lake was paid more attention which is

not a fertile region, after dominating of France, travel and resting service were formed, many

hotels, relaxing zones were built, accompany with the attention on transportation of West Lake,

roads were classified more clearly

Currently, the transportation of West Lake is quite good, clearly classification of roads, high

quality Services, travel are developed, forming roads around West Lake.

Local roads has 10,5-30m width included: Lac Long Quan, Xuan La, Xuan Dinh, Thuy Khue,

Thanh Nien streets Roads in Quang An peninsula has 13,5-21,25m width, walking roadaround West Lake (next to the embankment) has 8,5-10,5m width

b, Land usage:


3/8

- Lasting dominating of France, renovation (1986) periods, until now, natural land, vegeta-

tion around West Lake has been decreased significantly. Replacing are living land, busi-

ness land which were improved according to land usage purposes around West Lake.

- Currently, vegetation around West Lake is very few, public spaces has been formed but

not enough to create links with the landscape of the lake.

- Public spaces, services, parks locate locally and without connecting and unifying with

landscape axis, lack of impressed landscape.

C, Public spaces:

Public spaces are focused on 04 main parts:

+ Public services

+ Public cultures

+ Entertainment zones

+ Religious zones

*Public services:

Public services are buildings which support for everyday living of inhabitants, for exam-

ples: business shops, restaurants, schools, hospitals

- Around West Lake, public services are scattered along the main roads around the lake andtended to approach the lake with large amount. Because this region is looking forward to thor-

ough development and a new center of Hanoi then developing public services is essential. Be-

sides that, this region has many beauty-spots and entertainment zones for attracting domestic and

foreign tourists to come and enjoy natural spots inside Hanoi.

* Public cultures


4/8

Public cultures are places for public activities with particular culture of each group, each vil-

lage in each period. They can be culture houses, playing yards, stadiums

Around West Lake, according to the survey, there are scattered distributions, concentrated local-

ly. Therefore, the number is small. And land here is expensive so it is difficult to have a large

place.*Entertainment zones

Entertainment zones are places for entertainment, for examples: parks, sport centers

Around West Lake, there are many entertainment zones, scattered around the lake, concentrated

in Nhat Tan, Truc Bach, Quang An The entertainment zones locate at crowded zones with de-

velopment of economic, services.

*Religion

Religious zones are places support for each particular religion, for examples: churches, pago-

das

Around West Lak, there are not many religious zones, distributed at some areas. They are re-

served from traditions and monuments until now.

General comment: This is a major region of Hanoi. Therefore, services are developed and attract

many domestic and foreign tourists to come and enjoy beauty-spots inside Hanoi. Although to

become a center, the development of economic is essential but the reservation of traditional cul-

tures of West Lake is also important and it must create special characteristics of this region.

d, Population

In such developing urban as West Lake, inhabitants are still living in village style and forming

small wards around the lake, included: Nhat Tan, Quang An, Yen Phu, Truc Bach, Quan Thanh,

Thuy Khue, Buoi, Nghia Do, Phuc La wards

e, Green trees

Vegetation is diversified but distributed not uniformly, located mainly at ponds and some crowd-

ed areas. However, they are not utilized as natural spots and the living wastes from residential

areas as well as public buildings affect to the ecosystem. Therefore, creatures are disappeared

gradually and cannot survive in such polluted environment.

management of spaces and usages: transportation, entertainment, pedlars, public parking

From such condtions, there are some solutions for this area: reorganize the transportation to the

boat station crossing Ly Tu Trong flower garden, improve the boat stations, build parking areas

near Chu Van An high school, design kious for pedlars, for hire with low price according to each

hours to save space for entertainment, suplement impressions for the space.

+ Services area:

This is the place with many particular characteristic landscape of West Lake, located in the lake,

peach and mandarin gardens However, the landscape has not been exploited correctly to

create beauti-spots for this area. Therefore, we create landscape axises connecting natural spaces,

establish special characteristic of the old West Lake according to sustanable development.

Therefore, this area is suitable for implementing the idea of Xac Cao pond.

II. Research area and proposal for the detail maintenance.

1. Research area


7/8

The service area of Tay Ho palace has many advantages ofenvironment, landscape and human for bringing back the space of the old Xac Cao pond.

2. Desing the detail landscape of the area

a, Transportation

Create connecting roads for natural vegetations to the lake. Especially, at near the lake, classify

clearly the transportation roads for vehicle and for pedestrian, sightseeing. The vehicle roads are

separated inside, the area near the lake is for entertainment, exercise, in order to help us to ap-

proach the ecosystem easily. The inside vehicle roads are natural space connecting axis, for ex-

ample mandarin, peach gardens and small vegetation pond.

b. Public spaces.

Public spaces are supplemented and follow the landscape axis, create the living environment for

human closer and more friendly to the environment. Especially for schools of children, they need

to approach the ecological environment, away from damages of polluted environment, easy to

get sick and bad condition for study.

c. Green trees, water surface

- Design ecological rafts, floating islands to the concentration of the creatures

- Increase the green trees and approach the ecological space at entertainment zones and even liv-

ing spaces of human.


8/8

- Increase ecological area for under water creatures. Create the green, clean, beautiful environ-

ment, increase the aesthetic for the urban, decrease the pollution for the environment.
