The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has witnessed fast growth in urban development the past four decades. A plan to build 7270 houses by 2021 been initiated local authorities. Different sustainability guidelines are being implemented, including Public Realm Manual Abu Dhabi. These tailored consider hot and arid climate of UAE as well applied materials, inclusion greenery, shading devices, etc. Dubai...

Many studies have explored outdoor thermal comfort during the last several years, ever since it has been strongly related to human health and well-being. The physiological equivalent temperature (PET) is one of most commonly used indexes. It approved applied within different urban spaces climates. This study a comparative research that importance using mean radiant (Tmrt) in PET assessment by e...

The urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon is caused by the anthropic alteration of natural environment expansion, its impermeable surfaces, and activities. In addition, morphology can also contribute to increase in temperature cities. UHI effect be described as an climate that generally characterized higher temperatures densely built-up areas compared surrounding areas. This impacts environmental ...

Heat island effects raise the ambient air temperature in metropolitan areas by 4–5 degrees Celsius and can reach 10 at their maximum. This phenomenon magnifies cities’ energy difficulties while reducing comfort. Mitigation strategies have been developed recommended to deal with issue. Methods increase albedo utilisation of vegetation appear be most promising, a reasonably high heat reduction ca...

Based on canonical correlation analysis the iteratively re-weighted multivariate alteration detection (MAD) method is used to successfully perform unsupervised change detection in bi-temporal Landsat ETM+ images covering an area with villages, woods, agricultural fields and open pit mines in North RhineWestphalia, Germany. A link to an example with ASTER data to detect change with the same meth...

Life quality in urban contexts is related to several interconnected factors. Lots of innovative technologies allow for the gathering real-time information, which helpful analysing and interpreting significant dynamics citizens’ behaviours. The presence people outdoor environments, particularly social recreational purposes, can be considered as a qualitative indicator, giving evidence living env...

Within the scope of study, thermal comfort analysis was performed using ENVI-met program Misak-ı Milli Square in Safranbolu, and it determined that perception square as slighty warm-warm. For this reason, a new design proposal has been submitted for square. In proposal, green ratio number trees increased, type location changed. The flooring materials replaced with stone covering higher albedo f...

In order to solve some problems in managing and parallel processing of global expanding remote sensing data, introduces the spatial subdivision organization framework. Firstly, analyzes the spatial properties of subdivision cell and its significant advantages in parallel processing. Then, discusses subdivision template and template parallel processing mode for remote sensing image. And a templa...
