Purpose This study aims to combine information about sea level rise (SLR), the probability distribution of storm surge, a flood damage function and value property by elevation along coast selected cities measure expected damage. The six all have nearby long-term tidal stations that can be used estimate floods. model is calibrated each city. then compares cost building higher seawalls today vers...

Beaches are attractive areas that subject to multiple pressures. Some of these beaches located in large coastal cities with which they interact on a physical and social level. Facing this particularity, we propose state knowledge dedicated the management cities, here defined as more than 500,000 inhabitants. Using WoS an analysis grid, 53 articles were identified studied. This shows at interfac...

However, Sri Lanka faces a host of environmental problems such as land degradation, pollution and poor management of water resources, loss of biological diversity, coastal erosion, increas...

This paper models in a precise quantitative manner the proposition that the properties of urban shapes strongly and significantly affect the syntactic properties of urban grids. Urban shapes are described according to three measures of shape compactness and fragmentation and their skewness of distribution. The analysis of a large sample of coastal cities has shown that urban shapes affect the i...

The effects of global warming on sea level rise is one of the most challenging immediate futures faced by planning and the design disciplines. These effects can lead to grave conseTuences in coastal cities and is a growing field for policy and plan making in the 8nited 6tates and across the globe. -oao Pedro Costa brings us this debate from an (uropean perspective, discussing the challenges and...

one priority of planning at the regional level is to recognize the system of residence and particularly its urban system. one of the features of urban system in each area or country is the way of population distribution between the cities of these areas which is called city distribution size. in functional analysis of mazandaran province 41 development indexes of educational, cultural, social, ...

Background: Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne disease that affects between 50 and 100 million people each year. Increasing our understanding of the heterogeneous transmission patterns of dengue at different spatial scales could have considerable public health value by guiding intervention strategies. Methods: Based on the weekly number of dengue cases in Perú by province, we investigated the ass...
