The latest attempts in determining the spatiotemporal patterns of energy use building sector have led to development a new set tools referred as “urban models” (UBEMs). Due high level complexity, computation cost UBEMs risks becoming impractically large. As substitution for complex models, this study, using simplified steady-state method calculating performance buildings, more computationally e...

Abstract At the conclusion of 1950s in Japan, plans to reclaim and develop Tokyo Bay were proposed by Japan Housing Corporation's president a private think tank on economic affairs. The vision was incompatible with dispersion, basic direction state's policy, so it quickly rejected, but its legacy lived as trans-Tokyo highway 1997. This article argues that lack an effective national policy led c...

Even though urban land-use change simulations provide useful information for decision makers, planning is generally weakly integrated into land-change modelling. However, the increasingly digitally available zoning data from statutory offers new opportunities. This study aims to reveal potential effectiveness of in terms sustainable development by integrating regulations a multi-scenario simula...

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...

BACKGROUND The centralization of human activities is associated with different pollutants which enter into environment easily and cause the urban environment more vulnerable. Regarding the importance of air pollution issue for Tehran metropolis, many plans and regulations have been developed. However, most of them failed to decline the pollution. The purpose of this study was to pathologically ...

Urban system is a dynamic complicated system involved with many uncertainties, thus always leading to an undesired situation that the city doesn't develop as the previously made urban plans. Urban planning implementation evaluation, which is devoted to urban planning implementation supervision and management, is an important and indispensible part of efficient, healthy and sustainable urban dev...

ResumenLos instrumentos urbanos contenidos en el Plan regulador como figura comprehensiva fueron insuficientes para asumir desarrollo urbano y su obsolescencia implicó dar paso a una alternativa, la del plan seccional, definición más aproximada de escala edilicia, sobre suelos no comprendidos por frente larga tramitación aprobación sus posibles cambios o ampliaciones. Es objetivo este trabajo m...

The term “physical development and land use” was primarily raised in the Western countries so that governments could monitor the way the land is used and to maintain property rights. However, with rapid growth of urbanization and development of urban and regional planning the dimensions and the contents of the concept have expanded day by day. The central and practical core of urban planning is...
