Building identities in public spaces through cultural language analysis framework: a case study of public spaces river the Ha Thanh river

. When it comes to the typical image of an urban area, public space is considered a place that many people refer to because it is a place where cultural, social and entertainment activities often take place in daily life. Along with the trend of global integration and urbanization, the current Vietnamese urban architecture, especially the traditional urban spaces, is being gradually lost because of the influences of new architecture imported from the other countries. In terms of management, the choice of development and preservation of identity is always a difficult problem when taking into account the economic and social development of the city. It is necessary to include the goal of harmonious development of urban identity in the planning and design process. Through synthesizing and surveying local cultural values that have been evaluated and analyzed to distill some outstanding tangible and intangible values, and at the same time recreate urban public spaces in order to regenerate landscape at Ha Thanh river, in Dieu Tri area - Quy Nhon city - Central region - Vietnam.


Introduction
In the current urban functions, public space is increasingly used by people, becoming a place to attract the community with diverse and rich exchange activities. The current use of public space has the role of improving people's lives [1]. Public space also creates a familiar sense of location, one that represents societal perspectives and illustrates harmony amongst groups of people that have various goals and points of view, including politics. As a result, creating public spaces with identity is essential to the process of urban growth [2] . In planning to build a cultural city, urban identity is one of the necessary factors to determine the quality of urban living, while encouraging people to care and feel responsible for the local urban environment [1]. Public space is always changing in urban development and change, based on the interaction between natural, socio-cultural and man-made factors. Through the concept of place recognition, researchers will discuss what identity a particular place looks like, and what common elements shape each person's unique image of that place. Therefore, "identity" is a term that is very related to people's living time, through the interaction with urban space, the more people will have a feeling of attachment and love to the city [3]. The organization of a public space in the city must have meaning and memory for the people who use them. The process of urbanization has taken place more and more strongly since the 2nd and 3rd technological revolutions have significantly changed the face of urban organization, leading to problems that need to be solved in space urban construction. At the same time, the trend of globalization with the preservation of urban identity in the modern era is a challenge for urban planners, designers, and urban researchers. These two issues become challenges in the connection between natural landscape -artificial landscape, culture -perception of people in the process of urban development.
Most urban challenges nowadays are centered on the urbanization and globalization processes. These two issues become a challenge in the connection between elements of natural landscape, artificial landscape, culture and people's perception in urban development. The conventional structure of urban functions serves as a reflection of urbanization, and building projects seldom take into account the compatibility of cultural traits and the surrounding environment, which has an impact on the process of developing urban area identity [4]. People now have a more significant role in modifying the organizational structure of urban space and enhancing the natural landscape thanks to advancements in science and technology. However, the natural landscape is being pushed farther and farther away from the urban environment by the traditional urban spatial organization structure for all locations. As a result, the natural environment progressively starts to have less of an impact on urban development. Globalization changes the urban face towards civilization and modernity in a flat world. The loss of traditional cultural identity, the loss of place identification, and the rise in ecological disasters are the drawbacks of globalization, nevertheless [5]. The process of urban planning and design is stereotyped and offers building design solutions as an isolated object placed in the landscape space, while public spaces only have functional meaning.
The absence of traditional cultural values in the organization of public spaces did not bring people a sense of belonging. The meaning of the place of public space is lost and the image of urban characteristics is increasingly blurred in the process of urbanization. The meaningful creation of traditional cultural values in public spaces today depends on people's perception of places. The elements of natural environment, culture of natural environment behavior and people's perception of place are less and less popular in urban environment construction. Meanwhile, the process of creating a place is based on the relationship of physical, social and historical factors of the place, showing the cohesion of the material and the perception of the local people [6].
Therefore, the benefits of creating a place will help to form a cultural space and a livable society. At that time, the urban public space will give people a sense of familiarity and modernity. Thereby, the cultural and natural environment characteristics should be considered and integrated into the urban development stages. The study of cultural landscape aims to assess the interaction between tangible and intangible cultural elements. The change of these two elements in space and time serves as a scientific basis in urban design projects, through providing a multi-structural design framework, which is called "framework for analyzing cultural landscape". This analytical framework's main goal is to pinpoint the cultural components of locations and conserve them through the reproduction of cultural spaces in urban public areas. In urban studies, it should be noted that any urban landscape (including UNESCO sites, monuments, and historic locations) can be regarded as a cultural landscape.
The study is set up as follows: Sections 2.1 and 2.2 respectively describe the main representative features of the local cultural identity as well as the main features of the components in the cultural landscape. In Section 2.3, relate elements of local identity and cultural landscape in the framework of cultural landscape analysis to identify urban morphology. Then, the study conducts a qualitative discussion of each functional area in the cultural landscape analysis framework to extract the necessary information from the analytical framework. From there, in Part 3, research on the selection of public space in Quy Nhon -Binh Dinh city aims to build a cultural space through the framework of analyzing the cultural landscape, in order to contribute to improving the urban identity.

Research Methods

The main components of cultural identity
The organization of the landscape architecture area during the urban development process has its own qualities, and not all aspects share the same identity. Until its subject ceases to exist, identity is a factor that cannot be lost. However, the factors that form the identity have changed in the development process, these factors have historical characteristics of the current and future development. Therefore, identity evolution in urban areas is seen as subject through genetic means. An expression of the concept of urban identity can be made from the combined perception of urban formation factors at a location (e.g. streets, squares, buildings, public spaces, urban decoration and sculpture). According to Relph 2 , identity is the basic relationship in our daily life, this relationship refers to the similarity and long-term unity of objects, while places have historical significance associated with cultural characteristics. at a specific time. He argued that place names consist of three main components: topographical features, cultural activities, and symbolism [7]. Topographical features include natural environment (soil, hills, lakes, hydrology...) and artificial environment (buildings, streets, monuments...). Cultural activities include events, customs, practices and community organizations. Symbolism is formed through the experiences and interactions of people in a place. Identity represents the traditional cultural characteristics of each acreage, each region, and each city has its own identity. In Paperport's research 3 , the organization of urban environment construction is based on people's perception of the meaning and functional space of the urban environment. The tangible element brings the initial perception to people, the cultural behavior towards the natural and social environment, creating the foundation for the urban image of a place. This provides urban dwellers with the "meaning" and "function" of an urban space [8]. The context, surrounding natural features, and architectural symbols should all be taken into consideration when choosing solutions to create urban environments and architectural works that will effectively create a sense of place.
Punter and Montgomery's perspective on place, which focuses on exploiting the important factors that shape place in urban public spaces. Punter (2009) stated the interweaving of elements: form, perception and cultural activities in the formation of the place of urban space [9]. Montgomery (1998) conducted similar research, which emphasized that the meaning of place is expressed through people's perception of place, form and organization of urban space [10]. Urban identity studies by Relph, Punter, and Montgomery, all emphasize the tangible elements and the spatial significance of urban spaces, in which the tangible element of the place is accessible and perceptible. Intangible factors are the cognitive activities and related characteristics perceived behind the tangible element. Depending on our experience in urban spaces, the perception can be different, but basically urban spaces always carry a function associated with a certain visual meaning about that place.
The place name of the city is determined based on the inherent relationship of the urban environment and the natural environment. Urban identity is created mostly by human behavior through time, which shapes the urban landscape. As lifestyles, neighborhood organizations, and economies change, so do urban environments. In urban construction planning, it is necessary to consider social factors and people's psychology, in order to build urban environment, awareness and community organization. From building the relationship between people and the urban environment, it will contribute to the construction of urban identity [2]. In order to give a set of description variables to evaluate the identity of urban areas, the case study of Quy Nhon city in Binh Dinh will integrate the findings from the aforementioned research and the framework for analyzing the cultural landscape.

Components of the cultural landscape
In 1925 Sauer presented the definition of "cultural landscape", which is constructed from the natural landscape by a group of cultures [11]. The continuous interaction between behavioral culture with the natural environment and the social environment has contributed to the creation of the cultural landscape. Cosgrove (1984) argues that the cultural landscape is the unity between society and aesthetics, between land use and human life. He believes that beauty is expressed from the process of cultural construction and natural behavior culture. In Article One of the 1992 UNESCO/ICOMOS convention, the cultural landscape represents the "combination of man-made structures with nature" [12] In 2003, the geographer Jones offered a comprehensive conceptual assessment of the cultural landscape through the fields of study [13]. He emphasized how the term "cultural landscape" had previously been primarily used to describe how humans have altered the natural and social surroundings. In addition to the effects of humans on the environment, he added, it is also important to consider landscape ecology, which highlights the role that people have played in shaping cultural landscapes. Thus, it can be seen that the cultural landscape illustrates the development of human society, in which culture behaves with the natural environment and the social environment is affected by many factors (natural, social, cultural and economic). The cultural landscape is a complex system of environmental changes derived from behavioral culture. It is important in the cultural landscape that people's awareness of traditional cultural values helps to shape local identity [14]. Studying cultural landscapes to evaluate previous sustainable land use techniques, considering the characteristics and limitations of natural environment behavior and the relationship of tangible factors with nature (UNESCO, 2008). So, in order to create cultural landscape places in urban public spaces and enhance local identity, an appraisal of traditional cultural values will be necessary ( Table 1). Through analysis (Table 1), all studies focus on considering two main factors: tangible (physical, material) and tangible (not visible). Brown (2001) considered major cultural landscape elements as tangible factors (e.g. corridors and intersections, amenities, land cover, sites of cultural importance, industrial trade relationships, etc.) and intangible factors (e.g. cultural practices, local and census boundaries, land use) [15]. O'Donnell (2008) classified the main elements of the cultural landscape through their tangible values (identification of the spatial form of the landscape) and intangible values (the meaning of the landscape) [16]. Vogeler (2010) grouped cultural landscape elements into three categories: tangible forms, human behaviors and activities, and cultural meanings and messages [16]. According to Stephenson (2008), the qualities of the cultural landscape can be thought of in terms of material forms (represented through descriptions of natural aspects, human impact on nature, tangible construction, etc.), linkages relating to memory, symbolism, ideology, and practice [17]. In recent research by Sonkoly (2017), it has been shown that the tangible and intangible characteristics of the typical urban cultural landscape come from the living cultural heritage and the cultural construction process. Living cultural heritage is related to people's perception of life through beliefs, cultural ideologies, and people's living habits [18]. As a result, cultural traits are developed based on the tangible components of urban residents' living spaces. In the study, the relationship between the elements of tangible culture and intangible culture will be assessed, and the transformation of the two factors above by people's cognitive activities through space and time. Cultural factors in the cultural landscape analysis framework will be identified by the main factors including: tangible cultural factors, intangible cultural factors, and the interaction of the two factors above. These key elements will be identified in the form of an analysis of the form, function and meaning of cultural factors. Through the cultural landscape analysis framework, cultural values will be identified as the basis for application in the planning process of urban public landscape construction.

Framework for analyzing cultural landscape
In the study of culture, the term "culture" has such a broad definition that it is challenging to comprehend all the components through a single urban function. Consequently, a flexible methodology is required to examine cultural traits and identity-related cultural changes throughout time. The study suggests three aspects in the cultural landscape here since the primary factors have been listed in Section 2.2: (V) material culture, (P) intangible culture, and (Q) the interplay of these two factors across time ( Table 3). The primary elements are divided into a number of parts: • Material culture factors refer to natural shapes and human-built works, which are expressed through terrain, water surface, buildings, monuments, traffic.... • Intangible cultural elements in the cultural landscape are expressed through different types of beliefs, customs and behaviors, are controlled by a number of laws and appear in the organization of the social environment . • The link between the two elements Material and Intangible in the cultural landscape is a process in time and space. The study also collects and rearranges the features (discussed in Section 2.1) representing the identity of urban space in three forms including: Tangible elements (1); Function (2): operation demonstration; Semantic (3): denotes meaning and symbolism. These elements not only represent the main qualities of the place identity, but also encompass many aspects of the metropolis.  Q2 (function): Facilities and achievements over time can be maintained or eliminated over time. Technological, economic and social development has created many new functional areas for the city. These changes can contribute to creating a new look for the city. For example, the development of means of transport has changed the transport system in the city, enhancing the connection of urban functional areas.
Q3 (meaningful): Symbols and their meanings are subject to change. From a symbolic perspective, metropolitan communities' hidden aspects make up several layers of identity. For instance, certain commemorative occasions may alter how cities look. These event kinds give places a temporal identity. A place-specific identity can be shaped over time by political or economic government activities.

Current status of cultural landscape in the downstream areas of Kon river and Ha Thanh river
Quy Nhon city is one of the important urban areas of the Central region, Vietnam. According to the development orientation of urban space in Quy Nhon city, focus on two main parts: Renovating the old urban space, and strengthening the connection of the urban area, the driving force for the development of Dieu Tri. The selected study area is located downstream of Ha Thanh river, specifically the area of Luat Le village, Dieu Tri town, Tuy Phuoc district, which plays an important role in flood drainage in Quy Nhon city (Figure 2). In the general planning of Quy Nhon city to 2030 with a vision to 2050, the research area is included in the directional planning for the development of urban green parks [19]. The study combines an integrated analysis of infrastructure data, social and cultural traits of the research area, both at the micro and macro scales, to develop an acceptable landscape spatial transformation plan for this area. The river systems of the Ha Thanh and Kon cities serve as Quy Nhon's urban infrastructure. To suggest some appropriate functional areas for the area, evaluate the framework for studying the cultural landscape (Table 5). V1: According to the natural characteristics of the study area, the level of risk assessment in the Kon River and Ha Thanh River areas according to the scenario (2015) emphasizes that this area is mainly affected by floods. The area with high flood risk is located in the riverside area of Tuy Phuoc, Tay Son, Phu Cat, An Nhon districts and part of Quy Nhon city, of which 1/3 of the above area is flooded more than 11m , even with a 10-year repeating rainfall cycle [20]. Therefore, in addition to the park function, the study area also plays the role of technical infrastructure to regulate water in the downstream area of Ha Thanh River. Accessible traffic: from the direction of National Highway 1A connecting with Tang Bat Ho street (Dieu Tri town), through Luat Le bridge, into Luat Le village and some embankment routes along Ha Thanh river. Regarding the current status of land use: mainly wet rice cultivation, along both sides of the river are bamboo bushes with mounds surrounding the cultivation area. Regarding population: mainly focus on Luc Le bridge area and along areas reinforced with concrete embankments on both sides of the river.
V2: When analyzing the function, the research area is located in the downstream area of Kon River and Ha Thanh River, formerly the lifeline of the Champa kingdom and the Nguyen feudal period. The process of urban development has absorbed many cultures: Do Gian Festival in An Thai (martial arts fight each other for sacrifices, wading across rivers, performing martial arts moves to compete in the water), Via Ba festival in Nhon Hanh (it is said that Ba Thuy temple at the river wharf has a whirlpool). The organization of communities along river routes and national roads, particularly with the house space structure "Roof leaves" -Binh Dinh, demonstrates the exceptional feature in the river behavior culture of the people of Binh Dinh and the Central region of Vietnam in the living space. However, the development of science, economy and society is changing the face of the city, changing the perspective in urban construction planning and people's living space. Currently, there are almost no specific activities along the two sides of the Ha Thanh river, except for sand mining and dredging of alluvial deposits along the river. Dike lines are built around the study area. Natural ecosystem associated with wet rice agricultural production. The hydrological regime with the amount of water flowing through the area is unevenly distributed in the dry and rainy seasons. The West borders National Highway 1A and Luat Le Bridge in the North, creating a separation of natural conditions in the area from other areas by the traffic system and surrounding concrete dikes.
V3: Through the analysis of material cultural factors in the study area, it can be seen that the spatial and cultural significance of the area is associated with the element "water", currently only providing water for people in daily life and agricultural production. However, in the minds of Vietnamese people, the element "water" also represents the relationship between humans and nature. Vietnamese people depend on nature, rely on nature rather than dominate. This tendency in the sense of showing respect, the cult of nature; In the act of expressing choices that are adaptive to nature, taking advantage of natural forces rather than conquering nature, using human power to replace nature; In life, activity manifests itself into a lifestyle of harmony, harmony with nature, and attachment to the natural environment [21]. Besides the importance of using water surface, planting trees is also a traditional culture of local people and every Vietnamese. The bamboo tree is like a symbol for Vietnamese people, always reaching high with an upright posture that never gives up. Bamboo has many different types, but all bring great benefits to humans. From the very beginning, under the shade of green bamboo, Vietnamese plowmen built houses, plowed, and everyone gathered together to chat during lunch break. Bamboo can be used for knitting, making many objects in the house. Just like that, bamboo becomes an indispensable close friend of Vietnamese farmers in labor. Bamboo also plays a huge role in protecting the homeland.
P1: Formal analysis of intangible factors demonstrates the significance of river culture to the populace, which is expressed through religion, beliefs, and practices with iconic monuments (such as Saltwater Pagoda, Ba Pagoda, Banh It tower, Lang Song church, etc.), as well as the culture of people's behavior through living spaces (thatched roof house -Binh Dinh) [22]. During the interactions and coexistence of Vietnamese inhabitants with the Cham and Chinese, indigenous traditions are incorporated. Residents of Vietnamese villages produce, exchange, and develop intangible cultural components over time. Particularly, this region is linked to the Tay Son-Nguyen Hue peasant movement and the homes of notable poets from the 20th-century new poetry movement (Han Mac Tu, Yen Lan, Quach Tan, Che Lan Vien, and Xuan Dieu) [23].
P2: The functional space of intangible elements is shown through typical local annual festival events such as: Ngoc Hoi Dong Da victory festival, Cau Ngu festival, Saltwater urban festival, Binh Dinh traditional martial arts festival, along with other forms of performance (Bai Choi folk song, Tuong art). There are also a few traditional spaces typical of the South Central region being preserved. With the current trend of tourism development, the number of tourists coming to Quy Nhon -Binh Dinh has grown over the years (about 1.9 million visitors) 4 , the working age population accounts for 60% of the total population 5 . This will be the object that contributes significantly to the preservation, sightseeing, entertainment and entertainment activities for the local cultural festival activities.
P3: The consciousness and method of community organization of the Binh Dinh people are consistently linked to the element of "water". Although people's interest in "water" has always been the constant change of society and the natural world. In recent years, the urbanization process of Quy Nhon city -Binh Dinh has taken place rapidly. Architectural works are built to change the face of the city, and at the same time cultural values are lost and replaced by new ones. However, the natural element of "water" has always been interested and exploited. At the same time, studying the habits of Binh Dinh people through customs and beliefs, showing the personality of Binh Dinh people in the spontaneity, kindness, love of weather, respect for humanity. In terms of nature, friendliness, love of the weather, and respect for people, research has helped to generalize the kinds of customs, habits, and beliefs of the Binh Dinh people. Typical with the hero's soul hanging in ethnic clothing (Tay Son -Nguyen Hue) [24]. Q1: Stereotypical urban areas are being created as a result of the process of altering the physical and cultural landscape in the Quy Nhon-Binh Dinh region due to urbanization and globalization. Because the architectural creations are a combination of traditional and modern styles, the regional component is not clearly displayed. In recent years, the system of relics and folk belief establishments of village character tends to be built solidly, expand the area or consolidate the boundaries in each village and commune area. Clusters of residents live, creating spiritual fulcrums in the heart of the village and in the new urban area. Cultural activities in Dieu Tri town area are carried out at cultural centers, private establishments, socialization clubs. Most of the communal houses in the Quy Nhon city area are only performing religious functions. The role of rivers in the lives of residents along the Ha Thanh and Kon rivers is only in agricultural production and sand mining. 5 According to the statistical yearbook of Binh Dinh province in 2018 4 According to the statistical yearbook of Binh Dinh province in 2018 Q2: The process of spatial transformation of the local cultural landscape involves the interweaving of many different types of cultures. In some places, the space of the village's religious establishment was abused, becoming the venue for games with gambling trends such as cockfight betting, gambling,...; Some beliefs such as taking sacred water and burning votive paper still take place. Until now, village wells and some folklore exchanges are only places where people visit when needed, while community exchange activities through these spaces are also gradually reduced. The riverside landscape now acts as a place to exploit real estate, exploit local building materials.
Q3: In addition to ensuring that public spaces serve the requirements of the populace, the process of urban building and development must also take cultural values relating to the natural and social surroundings into account. Additionally, it demonstrates awareness and community organization in an effort to transform Quy Nhon city into a popular tourist destination with distinctive cultural values of the south central coast as well as a hub for meetings, conferences, and exchanges of global academic science.

Solutions to build cultural space in the study area P: The study design process reserved some open space for community activities. Recreate the cultural festival space to attract tourists and residents to participate in local cultural festivals. The design of public spaces in combination with traditional culture brings meaning in the urban landscape. In which, the traditional cultural space includes outdoor activities, physical training and sports, traditional shopping space, flora and fauna development, at the same time, public works are applied Champa architectural style, to create a local visual identity (Figure 4). Especially recreate the image of the historical story of the hero Tay Son -Nguyen Hue through performances of traditional martial arts, Tay Son battle drums, and Dong Da festival. V: This study offers a framework for identifying unique cultural values, assisting design and construction studies of urban parks, through the investigation of the cultural landscape of Quy Nhon city ( Table 6). The research area will serve as a link for the growth of the historic urban area of Quy Nhon and the new, dynamic neighborhood Dieu Tri thanks to its location downstream of the Ha Thanh River. The research area will also serve as a link with the network of historical and cultural artifacts in the Quy Nhon-Binh Dinh region. The research also contributes to the strengthening of the local ecosystem by preserving some appropriate local elements (agricultural production areas, cultivation, bamboo banks, native bird habitats, riverside alluviums), designing spaces to showcase traditional culture in conjunction with traditional motifs from Champa architecture, and setting up spaces in accordance with Binh Dinh people's customs. The above design spaces will provide a continuous image from the traditional space to the modern space of the city. This study also dedicated indoor and outdoor exhibition spaces for annual exhibitions and traditional festival events. Construction of spillway banks and re-establishment of sand alluvium along both sides of the river. Derived from the previous village organization of Binh Dinh people about having to respond, control and conquer water, such as building dikes around to prevent saltwater and flood. But with big floods, build spillways to let water overflow, divide flooded water in wet rice production areas to avoid local dike breakage. In order to prevent erosion, erosion and limit dam failure, it is advisable to build dikes and dams according to the wind and water, running around the earth, the purpose is so that the dyke does not resist the natural force when there is a strong flood. It is not necessary to build a straight dike. The positioning of a number of picnic spaces, physical training and sports spaces, cultural spaces, commercial spaces, and traditional markets will provide space for the typical cultural landscape of Quy Nhon city -Binh province. (Figure 5).
Q: The river cultural system in the Kon River and Ha Thanh River areas is an indispensable space in the connection of historical, cultural, natural values and the Binh Dinh community. The study tries to connect the Past, Present, and Future values of Binh Dinh's historical culture ( Figure 5). The river in Binh Dinh is still a possibility, nevertheless, and is waiting for the correct development plans, integrating cultural exploitation with the "water" aspect in investments in upgrading and repairing cozy infrastructural floors, directly in existing residential neighborhoods of urban and rural areas.

Picnic area
Picnic area for people's leisure time. Use of land geomorphology along the Ha Thanh River for pedestrian mobility. Much of this area is devoted to the restoration of the area's natural vegetation.

Cultural space
Indoor and outdoor exhibition space for annual exhibitions.
Traditional festival events. Recreating the space of traditional houses with thatched roofs in Binh Dinh, agricultural production of wet rice (crop fields).

Sports area
Provide venues for adult/children's sports, exercises, playgrounds. Underwater festival space (boat racing, fishing festival, Do Gian festival, martial arts dance underwater, wading across the river, performing martial arts competitions under water) 4. Traditional market space Using a combination of space for entertainment and shopping, temporary markets follow the model of Truong The market, Go market, and Go Gang market.

Green space
Bamboo is proposed to be planted along both sides of the river, which has the effect of preventing landslides, keeping soil, draining, and draining water when there is a flood or inundation. Encourage tree planting in public spaces. 6. Infrastructure services Design a system of spillways combining open canals and flooded fields, helping to drain water locally in the area. The body of the dam is made up of rocks weighing several kilos, evenly spaced.

Conclusion
Urban planning initiatives are the product of collaboration across a variety of industries, while the cultural component is frequently underemphasized in planning initiatives. Each development period's urban spatial qualities are represented by sociocultural values [14]. It is essential to protect and enhance cultural values in the development of urban public spaces. Through the framework of analyzing the cultural landscape, it is possible to evaluate the tangible and intangible factors and the interaction of the two factors "space and time", contributing to the development of urban public space, imbued with cultural identity.
According to the findings of the research framework of the cultural landscape in the case study of the region surrounding Luat Le hamlet, Dieu Tri town, and Tuy Phuoc district, the following stand out as the primary features of intangible cultural factors: Tay Son Dynasty, traditional martial arts, Tuong art, Bai Choi folk song, where famous poets (Han Mac Tu, Yen Lan, Quach Tan, Che Lan Vien, Xuan Dieu); Culinary culture, fishing village, relics of a famous trading port in the 14th century; Elements of material culture (Champa architectural art, space at home "roof leaves"). The process of transforming the above factors depends on space and time, in which physical elements are gradually being lost due to scientific, technological and economic impacts. However, intangible factors are gradually being commercialized in tourism and religious exploitation activities. This study points out the components, functions and meanings of culture, which serve as the basis for urban design projects, which fully express urban cultural aspects. Therefore, the framework for analyzing the cultural landscape is capable of providing different parameters to the same public space, and at the same time, it is capable of integrating cultural values in urban planning and design projects.
The study also contributes to the planning orientation until 2035, Quy Nhon -Binh Dinh is one of the marine economic centers of the country, with a development-oriented economy: services -seaports -industry -travel.
