FUNCTIONAL ZONATION:
What Is FZ?
The term functional zonation means the development of clusters of establishments of the same particular land-use (function) together into an identifiable areas or locations (zone) within the CBD. Vertical zonation (different zones on different floors) can also occur in some high rise CBD buildings. A good example is 112 on Buitengracht, where Bloomsbury luxury cars is situated on the ground floor, high income apartments higher up as well as some commercial services like a modelling agency in the same building.
Land Use Area Examples:
CBD (Central Business District)
Shopping/Retail areas
Industrial areas
Residential areas
Recreational areas
Definition:
“Functional zonation is where different land-uses and activities (functions) are found concentrated together in certain parts of the urban area, with other functions not found, under-represented or excluded, e.g. a zone of manufacturing industry, or lawyers’ offices all near one another.”
It occurs for a combination of reasons which include,
− spatial competition
− bid-rent, similar uses bid similarly and can afford the same area
− convenience e.g. for business dealing between solicitors
− comparison shopping behaviour e.g. shoe shops close together,
− work to increase rather than reduce custom
− historical factors and old quarters in cities
− planning decisions and land-use specification
Other factors can influence zonation.
• Environmental/physical, e.g. relief, rivers, wind direction.
• Economic, e.g. transport routes, linkages.
• Social, e.g. life cycle, ethnic or cultural clustering, reputation.
• Political, e.g. planning controls, green belts, taxes/rates.
Pros / Cons
Advantages include: time or cost saving for the function; aids the consumer, e.g. for comparison shipping; reduces pollution (zoning).
Disadvantages include: increased competition for businesses; further to travel for consumers.
Link between Bid-rent and FZ
Similar land-use is likely to be grouped on account of how much each land-use is willing to pay for the same amount of land. Because commercial land-use, for example, is willing to pay more for land closer to the CBD, commercial land users are likely to be grouped in that area.
