Today’s cities are full of signs: roadsigns, signposts, maps, graffitis, among many others. Future mobile digital information systems used in urban space will add another dense, digital layer of information on top of that, augmenting the user’s view with additional visual signs. If we want these envisioned systems to enlighten instead of confuse the user and if we therefore want to understand h...

The public has recently raised concerns regarding potential human health and environmental risks associated with tire crumb constituents in the artificial turf of football fields. The aim of the present study was to develop an environmental analysis drawing a comparison between artificial turf football fields and urban areas relative to concentrations of particles (PM10 and PM2.5) and related p...

In this paper we discuss artificial plan designing as a research field that deals with the development and use of computational models to support the generation of design descriptions in architecture and urban planning. We discuss some crucial methodological issues and we present a model for artificial design generation based on learning control methodologies. The design problem is defined as a...

Organisms living in urban environments are exposed to different environmental conditions compared to their rural conspecifics. Especially anthropogenic noise and artificial night light are closely linked to urbanization and pose new challenges to urban species. Songbirds are particularly affected by these factors, because they rely on the spread of acoustic information and adjust their behaviou...

Urban areas have been expanded throughout the globe. Monitoring and modelling urban growth have become a necessity for a sustainable urban planning and decision making. Urban prediction models are important tools for analyzing the causes and consequences of urban land use dynamics. The objective of this research paper is to analyze and model the urban change, which has been occurred from 1990 t...

This paper analyzes urban growth boundary delimitation in the urban master plan in Shaanxi Province and chooses Baoji, Weinan and Ankang as the research object. The three cities have delimited urban growth boundaries. This paper compares interrelationships between urban spatial structure, urban size, delimitation of the four areas, boundaries of planning area, natural boundaries, artificial bou...

today, urban environment experts are endeavoring after new ways to increase the amount of urban green spaces and discover the best way to enter them as lively part of cities. greenways can supply the needs of urbanization to green spaces in addition they are effective in urban green transportation. this study is trying to offer an approach in process of urban greenways planning by ahp analytica...

A modest development intensity for urban land benefits both ecological protection and living spaces improvement. It is an important indicator for urban land development intensity (ULDI) to measure the city livable and sustainable development. As an example of Chongqing Metropolitan Area, firstly, spatial database about land development intensity and its driving factors was established in sample...
