urban effete textures are multiple problems at conspectus skeletal, environmental, social and economic that encounter life of inhabitants with problem in this texture. according to the research, almost 90% of population in country exposed hazard of occurrence earthquake. in this face, by reason of problems, effete textures are over damage if the earthquake happened. nonetheless, to make provisi...

Institutional and governance frameworks are the structures through which political, technical and finan cial decisions are translated into resource allocation and priority setting for implementing urban mobility plans, programmes and projects. No matter how good the policy recommendations, their imple mentation is dependent upon how fit-for-purpose these institutional and governance frame works...

A feedback simulation model based on radial basis function neural networks is newly developed in this research to analyse the interaction between urban densities and travel mode split. The changes of populations, road mileages, travel mode split, and so on of the enlarging urbanized areas of different cities in China are studied for the trainings of the radial basis function neural networks con...

this paper takes a close look at the process of evolution of france’s spatial planning system. the rich background and solid approach of spatial planning in france, introduces this country as one of the pioneers of planning in various levels from local to urban and regional scales. the vision of this country during last decades especially in the field of spatial-physical development planning an...

This paper discusses the role for urban planning in managing the energy demands of living in Australian cities. Current Australian metropolitan plans all contain sustainability ambitions. Tracking progress and developing strategies to move towards these ambitions requires empirical understanding of urban resource demands. This paper focuses specifically on the energy demands of households, and ...

The morphology of a city affects its ecological and socioeconomic functions, and thus how a city is spatially structured has important bearings on urban sustainability. The paper analyzes the spatial pattern of Beijing in relation to its urban functions. Our results show that the 6 concentric ring-roads in Beijing provide a basic framework for the city’s overall spatial pattern, andalso give it...

It is not easy to imagine how the existing city can be converted to the principles of sustainability, however, the need for innovation, requires a pioneering phase which must address the main problems of rehabilitation of the operating models of the city. Today, however, there is a growing awareness that the identification and implementation of policies and measures to promote the adaptation, r...

After the passage of several decades of having the experience of employing regeneration plans through conservation and development, examining the results of these policies can be a topic for extensive investigations. These are the topics that inattention toward them has so far resulted in the circumstances in which not only regeneration plans have been frustrated in the realization of their obj...

Land use planning is always officially implemented as an effective tool to control urban development and protect farmland. However, its impact on land use change remains untested in China. Using a case study of Hang-Jia-Hu region, the main objective of this paper was to investigate the influence of different land use spatial control schemes on farmland conversion and urban development. Comparis...
