urban parks as public green space have played a unique and indispensable role in providing recreation opportunities and functions to urban populations. as a result of population growth and density, the sustainability of urban parks is a challenging management task. there exists a need to adopt effective management strategies for achieving the sustainable development and management of urban park...

without the surrounding environment of a site, architecture loses its full meaning. in the evolutionof the design process, a site's environment should be understood as the integral factor within which a designed productor artifact is expected to perform. the environment is not of secondary priority. every building is intertwined with itscontext; context being its physical, visual and ecological...

We present a new computational approach to the problem of placing n identical non overlapping disks in the unit square in such a way that their radius is maximized. The problem has been studied in a large number of papers, both from a theoretical and from a computational point of view. In this paper we conjecture that the problem possesses a so-called funneling landscape, a feature which is com...

The relationship between visitor behavior and the park landscape is complex. Influences of some features on are unconfirmed change with time space, which always confuses architects managers. These spatiotemporal dependent effects were less studied. To understand this influence, an empirical study was conducted in 10 representative parks across West Lake Scenic Area Hangzhou, China. A system for...
