Understanding the changes in gross primary production (GPP), which is the total carbon fixation by terrestrial ecosystems through vegetation photosynthesis, due to land use conversion in a tourism city is important for carbon cycle studies. Satellite data from Landsat 5, Landsat 7 and Landsat 8 and meteorological data are used to calculate annual GPP for 1995, 2003 and 2014, respectively, using...

Delightful urban ambience is an important indicator of liveability; in turn liveability is a significant aspect of sustainability. But can this quality be quantified? To the extent that ambience reflects the (measurable) configuration of urban form; it is proposed that the comparative expression of certain ambient qualities can be evaluated between areas of differing morphology. Ambience may be...

Diversity in economic activity can be found at different spatial scales cities’ urban morphology. Spatial capital is defined as the area’s physical appearance, which important for enhancing activities areas. It addresses how form, a result of design, influences life—that is, it supports and creates potential variations urbanity diversity. The aims this study are (i) to measure diversity based o...

Tsunamis, despite occurring with low frequency, are permanent hazards for a large number of coastal cities and their consequences are highly devastating in terms of human losses, material damages and urban structure disruptions. It is argued in this paper that the urban structure not only has to be recovered after the tsunami event, but also has to provide an important basis for the continuing ...
