this paper intends to highlight one of the key concerns of housing designers i.e. the influence of open space on human satisfaction as well as their attachment to a particular place. consequently, neighborhood open spaces with their meaningful layout seem to be constituent elements of residential complexes. although, architects and designers try to create qualitative areas among buildings, the ...

Let H be an infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space and let L(H) be the logic formed by all closed subspaces of H. For every natural k we denote by Gk(H) the Grassmannian consisting of k-dimensional subspaces. An orthogonal apartment of Gk(H) is the set consisting of all k-dimensional subspaces spanned by subsets of a certain orthogonal base of H. Orthogonal apartments can be characterized a...

Residential buildings are a key driver of energy consumption and also impact transportation and land-use. Energy consumption in the residential sector accounts for one-fifth of total U.S. energy consumption and energy-related CO2 emissions, with floor space a major driver of building energy demands. In this work a consistent, vintage-disaggregated, annual long-term series of U.S. housing stock ...

In order to overcome the housing shortage, a large number of apartments were built in South Korea during the second half of the 20th century. Thus, the apartments became the typical housing type in South Korea. This paper is intended to analyze the changes in the spatial configurations of the apartments constructed in Cheongju, South Korea, from the 1972 to 2000. This study has employed Space S...

BACKGROUND Despite a declining prevalence in many countries, smoking rates remain consistently high among young adults. Targeting contextual influences on smoking, such as the availability of tobacco retailers, is one promising avenue of intervention. Most studies have focused on residential or school neighbourhoods, without accounting for other settings where individuals spend time, that is, t...

Although a substantial body of research concurs that most urban areas have a challenge in providing adequate car parking space, there is a scarcity in the literature on how conformity to planning standards that regulates the provision of car parking spaces may be analyzed. This study, therefore, examines the extent to which the planning standards that regulate compliance with the provision of c...
