Applying design ideas to promote security of urban spaces

Security is one of the most critical factors affecting the quality of urban spaces. Nowadays, most of these spaces have become merely pathways with neither social life nor sense of belonging to it. Insufficiency of public surveillance along with weak sense of control and surveillance results in spaces with high crime rate. In the late 60s and early 70s, high crime statistics in open urban space...

Analysing Chindōgu: Applying Defamiliarisation to Security Design

Copyright is held by the author/owner(s). CHI 2012, May 5–10, 2012, Austin, TX, USA. ACM xxx-x-xxxx-xxxx-x/xx/xx. Abstract Envisaging how secure systems might be attacked is difficult without adequate attacker models or relying on sterotypes. Defamiliarisation removes this need for a priori domain knowledge and encourages designers to think critically about system properties otherwise considere...

Democratic Urban Streets Design Guideline Codifications (Based on Qualitative Democratic Urban Spaces Design Norms)

Finding Main Streets: Applying Machine Learning to Urban Design Planning

In the urban design realm careful consideration of connecting architectural form and socioeconomic function is a compelling issue. City planners and architects spend a significant amount of their time on collecting and integrating data from various information sources. Rapid growth of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) made it possible to map and display laboriously collected data, but these ...

Applying machinemodel-aided countermeasure design to improve memory allocator security

This paper is a companion paper for the talk that will be presented at the 22nd Chaos Communication Congress. We will describe the background on how the results that we detail in the talk were achieved but will not substantially overlap with the talk. We will focus on a more structured approach to build countermeasures using a model of the execution environment. This machinemodel allows reasoni...

Designing a Hypothetical Neighborhood to Promote the Localism; Convergence of Urban Village Approach and Democratic Urban Design: The Link between Theory and Practice

The "Urban Village Approach" is one of the most appropriate ways to eliminate recent urban problems, including social, environmental, cultural, and economic shortcomings. Although the urban village approach is generally proper to resolve these types of flaws, its combination with the democratic concept of urban design can definitely provide more effective solutions. So at first, this ...
