Abstract
The Tan Quy Dong Commune is a long-standing community in the Mekong Delta region that has the distinction of being a flower village. Due to the low-lying terrain, this area’s landscape changes seasonally and is influenced by tides of the Sa Dec River. Residential development is interwoven with the cultivated areas to form a unique and recognizable urban space. Urban growth and tourist development, however, are driving changes in economic structure and spatial form in this flower village, particularly in the relation to the dwellings and the canals. This research asks how village space is changing under the impacts of urban development. Combining spatial analysis using Web-based GIS with site survey, this paper will explore the relationship between economic-tourism development and the transformation of the Tan Quy Dong flower craft village. Planners and other city government officials can use this analysis to inform urban design that balances landscape preservation with development.
