Nowadays the quality of life is one of the factors that have special standing in the context of urban planning studies. This factor became significant due to the increasing importance of quality of life in the monitoring of public policy and its role as an efficient tool in the management and planning. Urban life quality is usually measured through the surveying and evaluation of subjective per...

Urban surface temperature is hazardously higher than surrounding regions (so-called urban heat island effect UHI). Accurately simulating urbanization-induced temperature hazard is critical for realistically representing urban regions in the land surface-atmosphere climate system. However, inclusion of urban landscapes in regional or global climate models has been overlooked due to the coarse sp...

Due to the inherent discrete nature of sensing, interpolation is a key activity in sensing. Interpolation in urban computing faces an unprecedented inference issue that was not present in large scale traditional sensing environments. Obstacles such as buildings and walls are prevalent in urban sensing, and it is important to consider them in urban sensing interpolation. This paper introduces an...

the major health challenge in the 20th century was to survive, whereas living with greater conditions is the major challenge in the current era. elderliness is a critical stage of life when there is a social call for considering its needs as to improve quality of life of elders. the present study is mainly concerned with quality of life of elders in urban areas of neyshabour. to this end, 150 e...

Detecting regional spatial structures based on spatial interactions is crucial in applications ranging from urban planning to traffic control. In the big data era, various movement trajectories are available for studying spatial structures. This research uses large scale Shanghai taxi trip data extracted from GPS-enabled taxi trajectories to reveal traffic flow patterns and urban structure of t...

Urban density must be considered a key concept in the description of a city’s urban spatial structure. Countless studies have provided evidence of a close relationship between built density and activity densities, on the one hand, and urban environmental conditions or social practices, on the other hand. However, despite the concept’s common use in urban research, urban density is a rather fuzz...

Introduction: The aim of this research was to examine the role of the culture of urban regions, and to a larger extent, of local society in industrial location. According to the so-called location paradox, despite the globalization of the economy, polarization of industrial development in certain geographic areas is persistent. Consensus (and debates) from a substantial literature on industrial...

introduction the current environmental challenges one of the main concern of is humanity. the issue of when more added concern has been associated with complications. research suggests the environmental challenges are rooted in factors in the different levels of global, regional and local levels are considered. in this case although many studies have been in different aspects of urban environme...

abstract: one of the strategies which are considered in recycling materials is origin separation of waste by households, that basis of these projects is households' cooperation. the objective of this study is evaluation of different urban regions about origin separation of the waste by households and ranking them in mashhad. the statistics and information required obtained by completing qu...
