Building façade colors play an important role in influencing urban imageability, attraction and citizens’ experience. However, the relations between street functions building color distribution, harmony diversity have not been thoroughly examined. We obtained dominant of façades Changning District, Shanghai, utilizing Baidu view images, image semantic segmentation technology K-means algorithm. ...

A radiosity model has been developed for calculating the sound distribution in urban streets with diffusely reflecting boundaries. In this paper I present the results of a parametric study by using the computer model. A typical urban element consisting of a major street and two side streets is analysed. The analysis is focused on the characteristics of sound pressure level and reverberation tim...

The authors propose a topological analysis of large urban street networks based on a computational and functional graph representation. This representation gives a functional view in which vertices represent named streets and edges represent street intersections. A range of graph measures, including street connectivity, average path length, and clustering coefficient, are computed for structura...

INTRODUCTION A critical building block of a functional successful city is the presence of vibrant streets; streets that encourage walking. The level of pedestrian activity is an indicator of a great street as well as economic viability and is often used in determining rental values for retail premises. Walking creates a healthy population and is reflective of a liveable city. Walking is also cr...

The first part of the following paper focuses on the discovery of fractal dimension within the all too chaotic structure of Tokyo streets, using the relation between the length of the streets and the area that they occupied. Hack’s formula for the analysis of river basins was utilized, and the presence of fractal dimension was discovered in the high-density street zones branching within a limit...

Streets with an increasingly important place function play a significant role in the contemporary discourse on sustainable cities. The paper addresses urban streets that, observed from planning perspective, have potential to be transformed into either commercial or residential shared streets. After defining parameters identified as characteristic of streets, were quantified based analysis exist...

Exiting street-level prostitution is a complex, convoluted process. Few studies have described this process within any formal conceptual framework. This article reviews two general models and two prostitution-specific models and their applicability to the exiting process. Barriers encountered as women attempt to leave the streets are identified. Based on the four models, the barriers, the prost...

Location-based games are a new form of entertainment played out on the city streets. Players equipped with handheld or wearable interfaces move through the city. Sensors capture information about their current context, including their location, and this is used to deliver a gaming experience that changes according to where they are, what they are doing and potentially how they are feeling. In c...

In order to deal with the huge threat and loss caused by the earthquake, established the evaluation system and model, and the risk zoning map is drawn according to the study of the vulnerability of Xicheng District's streets. According to the spatial coupling relationship between social vulnerability and physical vulnerability, drawn the comprehensive risk zoning map of Shichahai street as a ty...
