| description | Batavia was the colonial port city founded by the Dutch United East India Company in the Ciliwung River Delta of West Java located in the Asian Monsoon Tectonic Zone.Construction of the urban area and land reclamation of the environs were conducted under the water management based on waterways having multi functions such as self-defense, transportation, drainage, water storage and irrigation.This research illustrates changes of the space and the water management of Batavia in the 17th and 18th centuries, paying attention to geomorphologic and hydrological difference between the Netherlands and Java Island.Moreover, the space formation of ‘Ideal City’ from the viewpoints of flood defense structure, reasons for the vicious spiral of the soil sedimentation and several efforts for its countermeasures are discussed. |
