Contemporery Urban Development and Sustainable Urban Form
Sustainable settlement is one of the key constituents of sustainable development, and sustainable urban development can be defined in this framework. Emergence of sustainable development as a commonly-used phrase has caused several controversies about urban forms. Today’s urban form is known as a source of environmental problems. Undoubtedly, this phrase has persuaded many of researchers to sea...
متن کاملAn Evaluation and Design Support System for Urban Walkability
We present an operational proposal for the evaluation of walkability. Its distinguishing characteristic in conceptualising walkability is to take into account and combine three distinct elements in a multicriteria evaluation model: the availability of attractive destinations, their effective distances along a detailed representation of the street network and the qualities relevant to walkabilit...
متن کاملIdentifying and Measuring Urban Design Qualities Related to Walkability.
BACKGROUND In active living research, measures used to characterize the built environment have been mostly gross qualities such as neighborhood density and park access. This project has developed operational definitions and measurement protocols for subtler urban design qualities believed to be related to walkability. METHODS Methods included: 1) recruiting an expert panel; 2) shooting video ...
متن کاملRaster analysis of urban form
A new paradigm for investigating the environment consequences of urban texture is proposed. Using raster-based models and software algorithms derived from image processing the authors develop efficient methods of measuring geometric parameters and predicting radiation exchange. The possibilities of generating synthetic urban textures and of integrating cellular automata are explored. Results su...
متن کاملHow Do Galaxies Form?
It is currently believed that galaxies were assembled via chaotic hierarchical mergers between massive cold dark matter halos, in which baryonic star forming matter was embedded. One would therefore expect the properties of individual galaxies to be determined by numerous independent factors such as star forming history, merger history, mass, angular momentum, size and environment. It is theref...
