Atmospheric corrosion is a significant problem given destruction of various materials, especially metals. The corrosion investigation in the industrial city environment was carried out during one year exposure. Corrosion potential was determined using the potentiometric method. The highest effect of corrosion processes was observed during the winter season due to increased air pollution. Corros...

The routing plan of a delivery fleet is usually developed a priori and provides an optimal (or near optimal) way of serving customers by taking into account certain constraints, such as vehicle capacity and delivery time windows. However, such plans may not cope adequately in a city logistics environment, in which unexpected events often occur during delivery execution (e.g. adverse traffic con...

Wireless sensor networks have increasingly become contributors of very large amounts of data. The recent deployment of wireless sensor networks in Smart City infrastructures have led to very large amounts of data being generated each day across a variety of domains, with applications including environmental monitoring, healthcare monitoring and transport monitoring. The information generated th...

Location-aware messaging offers enormous possibilities as location tracking systems become more common and the amount of mobile services grow. The easiest way for application development would be to implement a general location-aware platformbuilding on existing infrastructures used for tracking and messaging. Such an approach has to take into account the limitations in location accuracy and in...

The city scape offers a unique place to use mobile media to foster pro-environmental behavior through connecting citizens, to city, to their urban environment. The studies presented here are the start to a series of research studies that will guide the development of a mobile application aiming to foster dialog and action through the presentation of technical data, lived experiences, and commun...

All entities in an urban environment such as buildings, parks, roads etc. are changing more or less over time. A seamless documentation of these changes in a spatiotemporal city model may require extraordinarily large storage capacity and a high computing intensity if the stored changes are visualized. This paper presents a mathematical model for defining and capturing the relative significance...

After years using ICT to be connected with others, the world population average weight had tremendously increased. To face the rapid spread of obesity the World Health Organization (WHO) has leveraged the popularity of augmented reality games such as Pokémon go to force people out of their homes pushing them to walk. An application, namely Gamifying the City (GC), has been set up, immediately i...

OBJECTIVE Exposure to indoor pollutants and allergens has been speculated to cause asthma symptoms and exacerbations and influence the risk of developing asthma. The aim of this article is to review the medical literature regarding the role of the indoor environment on inner-city childhood asthma. DATA SOURCES A literature search was performed in PubMed. Studies focusing on inner-city indoor ...

The purpose of this study is to review representative cases of green space development in order to compare the Garden City concept and Green Belt concept as applied and to examine its direction in major Asian and Oceanic cities. The results of previous studies and this study show that there are two major directions in such green-oriented city planning. One direction is toward Multi-Regional Dev...
