The City dynamics affected by changes in global civilization, natural resources and potential of

n city functions. Morphology is not only related to the physical and geometric shapes, but concerning
nfluence factors from ideas, spatial planning character and key events that change the basic idea.
The benefits of morphological study is to study the spatial planning systems and the
:omponents underlying behind formation of the city, in order to understand the typical city problem;
ro understand a continuous spatial planning system at developing local potential in conjunction with
~fforts to solve the urban problems. This approach produces the key to charting the direction for
:Uture development.
Morphology study includes two methods, namely: 1) Synchronic Analysis using ArcView GIS
3.3 mapping tool to make synchronize and typology the interviews outcome, the physical traces study
and relevance of the present and previous condition. The element composition and space utilization is
displayed in each layer. The linkage between components, spatial planning character and continuity
pattern of the character elements produces visual shape and orientation, this explains the dominance
of space in each layer and transformation of the of characterized spatial planning system continues.
2) Diachronic Analysis using historical analysis to find out an initial shape and product of
developmental stages of city formation. Each stage gives expression. Peeling back the layers of history
is fabric of some expression that gives a lot of meaning, to explain metamorphosis of form and change
of space function as well as knowing how that which is come to be is a sound basis for future actions.
Pontianak morphology is determined by initial setting of the city among the three coast river
mouth (Kuala Pesisir) and three upland area river mouth (Kuala Perhuluan) and the site of city in
three branches of the river channels, so the city has three main spaces - downstream (Hilir),
middlestream (Tengah) and upstream (Hulu) zones. Configuration of the three main spaces is
produced from the arrangement balance of physical and non physical elements and become direction
of city orientation. This orientation based on the axis line 2JO and orbit line 360° namely: 1) the axis
of the Lower-Middle-Upper (external linkage) is a natural potential. 2) The axis of father-MotherChild
(internal linkage) is a community potential. 3) The circles of Natural Pillar (points of imaginary)
is alignment of the two potentials. A long the radiants of the circles of Natural Pillar are coordinate
points, on which kampungs are built. Canals are also built on these imaginary radiants. Mesjid Jami is
central point in the circles of Natural Pillar. Each main spaces have processed become triangles form.
One angle from each triangles center in Mesjid Jami, so city form is trapezium from composition of
three triangles, which are the spatial system of city elements configuration. Currently, the city
morphology covers the three cities component, namely: 1) Historical-cultural architecture, 2) Block
and node components, and 3) natural-manmade structure.
Pontianak city morphology is the life that continues to move forward. He will continue to
learn in maturing himself, adapt and cope all driving force changes the city shape includes, among
others: 1) Transit point. 2) Hegemonic power. 3) Mining and Timber Activities 4) The Plantation
Activities. 5) foreign Government Intervention. 6) Upheaval and Modern Plantation. 7) The Role of
Province Capital, 8) City Development Plan. Macro Scale, growth domination of space has been in the
downstream zone. Messo Scale, transformation course of space elements jumps back and forth in the
horizontal and vertical of canal (parit) since the three mutation phases of spatial pattern was
disregarded. Micro Scale, the canals as fastening component of the architectural history-culture were
going into transformation, so the spatial system has been missing orientation.">
