the main purpose of this paper is to study urban management performance in public green spaces (parks) based on economical indexes, social indexes and environmental indexes. for this purposes, we use topsis method that is one of the methods of multiple criteria decision making. the data was obtained through interview and also a questionnaire which was distributed among about 1000 families of ma...

Network models are widely used to represent relational information among interacting units. In studies of social networks, recent emphasis has been placed on random graph models where the nodes usually represent individual social actors and the edges represent the presence of a speciŽ ed relation between actors. We develop a class of models where the probability of a relation between actors dep...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review the topic “urban green space” focusing on its social benefits and measure techniques in terms of monetary value and accessibility. It suggests potential research direction by using an integrated valuation and measurement framework, and concludes that urban green space valuation in the providers’ perspective as well as accessibility analysis in th...

Facial appearance evokes robust impressions of other people's personality traits. Recent research suggests that the trait space arising from face-based impressions shifts due to context and social cognitive factors. We suggest a novel framework in which multiple bottom-up and top-down processes mutually determine a dynamic rather than fixed trait space.

The people participating in the media space have the greatest influence on the ways in which it will be used. The ways of working that people bring to a media space and create in that space can vary greatly. However, characteristics of the setting and the technology are also important in how a media space is used and what it becomes. We consider the setting to include the individuals using the ...

Socially assistive robots (SARs) contribute to task success by supporting humans through verbal information and guidance, while reducing task load through social mechanisms, e.g., human-intuitive mimics and gestures. In this paper, we present two novel interaction scenarios using such robots that could lead to assistance on long-term missions in space. The first addresses physical exercise, whi...

THE SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL CONSTRUCTION OF URBAN SPACE IS A CRUCIAL element in the manner in which policing and the criminalisation of young people occurs in Australian society. For it is the conflict over the use of particular urban spaces which in many ways forms the basis of the relationship between young people and the police, and hence the initial phases of the formal processes of the crimina...

Finding a new mathematical representation for graphs, which allows direct comparison between different graph structures, is still an open-ended research direction. Having such a representation in a common, well-understood metric space is the first prerequisite for a variety of machine learning algorithms like classification, clustering, etc, over graph datasets. In this study, we propose a symm...

In two behavioural experiments we tested whether performing a spatial task along with another agent changes space representation by rendering some reference frames more/less salient than others. To this end, we used a Simon task in which stimuli were presented in four horizontal locations thus allowing for spatial coding according to multiple frames of reference. In Experiment 1 participants pe...
