With increasing urban populations, high vehicle miles have made the concept of a compact city imperative. A is characterized by high-density development and mixed land use with no sprawl. City managers are trying hard to make their cities livable. The potential conformance requires scaling before any significant intervention. Several studies been conducted on different aspects in developed worl...

The smart city (SC) has become the new megatrend in sustainable urban development and enjoys worldwide popularity. After thoroughly reviewing relevant literature, two clusters of concepts/notions are observed. One cluster focuses on information communication technologies (ITCs) their application, while other improving quality life via ITCs. To better assess SCs a regional context, we have summa...

Wetlands provide valuable ecosystem services to society. Yet, in many parts of the world, wetlands have been degraded or lost, and demand for development—particularly from agriculture—is putting pressure on many of those that remain. Policymakers and planners have to consider a bewildering set of biophysical, economic and social factors when deciding whether or not wetlands should be developed ...

We present ongoing work on developing an automated integration system for freight flow analysis and planning. To overcome the limitations of current estimation methods for commodity flows, we use reliable secondary sources, such as employment data, and derive estimates in a principled way by means of a computational workflow. When available, we extract the data automatically from online sources...

This paper has been attempted to compare the effect of market sale and contract strategies on yield, using a 90 survey data from tomato farmers in Khorasan-Razavi province, Iran on 2007 and applying the game theory approach. The results showed that the effect of no-contract strategy with tomato processing factories is more than contracted strategy on tomato yield in farm level. With respect to ...

In this work, we provide an innovative route for analysing urban expansion and population growth their link to the consumption of construction materials by combining satellite data with material analysis within Hanoi Province (Vietnam). Urban is investigated use landcover maps period 1975–2020 derived from satellite. During period, artificial surfaces agricultural areas have increased 11.6% 15....

Green roofs and walls can mitigate the environmental climate change of a city. They decrease urban heat island (UHI), reduce greenhouse gas emissions, fix pollutants, manage stormwater runoff, attenuate noise, enhance biodiversity. This paper aims to analyse green in possible mitigation compare it by continent. might air temperature city up 11.3 °C lower thermal transmittance into buildings 0.2...

The study examined whether state hospitals in operation before deinstitutionalization still carry vestiges of older models of psychiatric care. Using a national database, the authors compared 166 state hospitals built before 1949 with 80 state hospitals built after that time. The old hospitals treated fewer children and adolescents, received more state funding and less third-party funding, had ...

This review is devoted to methodology, which can help direct and indirect measurement of methane emissions. This paper will be useful for expanding the knowledge base of researchers, farm planners, and policymakers as they work to develop and maintain sustainable environment conditions for farming systems in Slovakia. The following methods like respiration chamber, SF6 technique, alternative me...
