A townscape has been a main factor in urban-development problems in Japan. In the townscape, keeping harmony with environment is a common goal. But useful and meaningful goals are expressing individuality and impression of the town in the townscape. In this paper, we propose the colour planning support system to improve the townscape. The system finds propositional colour combinations based on ...

Collection of appropriate qualitative and quantitative data is necessary for proper management and planning. Used the suitable inventory methods is necessary and accuracy of sampling methods dependent the inventory net and number of sample point. Nearest neighbor sampling method is a one of distance methods and calculated by three equations (Byth and Riple, 1980; Cotam and Curtis, 1956 and Cota...

Background: Existing literature on the built environment and physical activity in rural areas is very limited. Studies have shown that residents in rural areas are less likely to meet physical activity requirements than their counterparts living in urban and suburban areas. They are also less likely to have access to amenities and programs that promote physical activity. This study seeks to fil...

Algorithms based on Nested Generalized Exemplar (NGE) theory 10] classify new data points by computing their distance to the nearest \generalized exemplar" (i.e. an axis-parallel multidimensional rectangle). An improved version of NGE, called BNGE, was previously shown to perform comparably to the Nearest Neighbor algorithm. Advantages of the NGE approach include compact representation of the t...

Rapid urbanization in China has triggered the conversion of land from rural to urban use, particularly the conversion of rural settlements to town land. This conversion is the result of the joint effects of the geographic environment and agents involving the government, investors, and farmers. To understand the dynamic interaction dominated by agents and to predict the future landscape of town ...

OBJECTIVE To identify the leading causes of mortality and premature mortality in Cape Town, South Africa, and its subdistricts, and to compare levels of mortality between subdistricts. METHODS Cape Town mortality data for the period 2001-2006 were analysed by age, cause of death and sex.
