integrated urban management means adopting a holistic approach to urban management and designing appropriate mechanisms for this approach’s requirements in practice. the integration of the urban activities brings together organizational , structural and institutional activities and action in which the urban development is supported. in order to achieve integration, it is essential to identify f...

the issue of urban decline in city centers and horizontal expansion of the city and its consequences is a challenge in sustainable development of the cities. in this regard, new approaches were shaped to define career planning, urban design and urban environmental quality concerns in new-urbanism pattern. the critical approach to modern urban pattern was formed based on scattered, non-human and...

In environmental studies, different types of system boundaries are needed. Disaggregated GIS data are crucial because they can be flexibly converted into the target boundaries. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) should be highly evaluated as a valuable GIS data. We, however, show the problem that GDP per capita in urban areas is lower...

Asia has been experiencing very high population growth and urbanization as well as migration as discussed in previous section. Asian cities will witness a large population increase, which will have important implications for a variety of urban environmental issues, such as water supply and sanitation, waste and wastewater generation, urban infrastructures as well as mobility. This section prese...

The recent adoption of ubiquitous computing technologies has enabled the capture of large amounts of spatio-temporal data about human motion. The digital footprints computed from these datasets provide complementary information for the study of social and human dynamics, with applications in urban planning and transportation. In this context, cell phones and cell phone networks, due to its perv...
