The modern landscape of a large city is complex, dynamically changing environment with constant influence environmental, social and economic factors. gradual historical development the territory change in urban processes led to formation containing mixed-type areas, i.e. border territories separate zones - industrial, residential, intermediate. In Russia, improvement coastal cities has become a...

Preparing thermal comfort conditions in outdoor public spaces is one of the considerations of architectural design. If the constructed area does not support comfortable conditions in outdoor spaces, it will cause microclimatic problems for pedestrians and adjacent buildings. Regarding the different thermal comfort conditions in outdoor spaces in comparison with indoor, several indices have b...

Potential impacts of projected climate change on biodiversity are often assessed using single-species bioclimatic ‘envelope’ models. Such models are a special case of species distribution models in which the current geographical distribution of species is related to climatic variables so to enable projections of distributions under future climate change scenarios. This work reviews a number of ...

To achieve overall business goals, GQM+Strategies® is an approach that aligns the business goals at each level of an organization to strategies and assesses the achievement of goals. Strategies derived from business goals are based on rationales (context factors and assumptions). Because extracting all rationales is an important process in the GQM+Strategies approach, we propose Context-Assumpt...

Climate change and the global pandemic caused by COVID-19 highlight need to create habitable outdoor urban spaces. Mitigation techniques that improve environmental conditions are essential in cities with high temperatures. For this reason, an innovative solar control technique based on a green structure was designed where trees centrepiece. The is installed square city centre of Seville (Spain)...

Conservation tillage (CT) systems have a number of potential benefits including lower crop production costs and the ability to reduce soil erosion that have made them common in several regions of the world. Although CT systems have been researched and successfully implemented on some farms in California's San Joaquin Valley (SJV), overall adoption is low and the reasons for the region's compara...

Vernacular architecture based on bioclimatism concepts was developed and used through the centuries by many civilizations across the world. Different civilizations have produced their own architectural styles based on the local conditions. This study is carried out on the vernacular buildings of north-east India across all the bioclimatic zones. A survey of 42 houses, more than 70 years old was...

Bioclimatic principles that provide solutions based on environmental conditions around the site can be applied in building design. This design study focuses suitability of bioclimatic to providing thermal comfort. research method uses a qualitative with descriptive approach. The analysis technique data collection is visual assessment. object under has criteria Indonesian tropical concept. resul...
