Soil is a vital parameter for planting design in urban green spaces especially in adverse climate conditions. In this study, the utilization of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) in surveying land suitability for urban green space from measured criteria like suitability indices, including physical (i.e. clay, silt, sand, bulk density, penetration resistance), chemical (i.e. electrical conductivit...

Spatial accessibility to public service facilities is critical for allocating the limited resources to the most needed places. In view of the previous literatures usually about the domains of health care and green space, only a few of studies on public service facilities and specific parameter setting with explicit and scientific basis, like search radius, so there is a pressing need to determi...

In this article, I argue that neither of the two main approaches to definiteness, familiarity or unique identifiability, provide necessary or sufficient conditions for the use of the definite article in English. I propose instead that the basic meaning of the article is to signal the accessibility of a discourse referent, more specifically, the availability of an access path through a configura...

The chromatin structure of the pea plastocyanin gene (PetE) was examined at three different transcriptional states by investigating the acetylation states of histones H3 and H4 and the nuclease accessibility of the gene in pea roots, etiolated shoots, and green shoots. The acetylation states of histones associated with different regions of PetE were analyzed by chromatin immunoprecipitation wit...

Abstract Accessibility indicates the ease of reaching many destinations from origins in urban network at various scales space. It plays an important role determining location public facilities to maximize usability for a large population or limit use smaller community. The absence green spaces is notable consequence rapid urbanization cities around world. Doha State Qatar no different, where ex...

(1) Background: Green and open spaces are conducive to physical activity for the elderly. However, it is unclear how different landscape characteristics relate of (2) Methods: following PRISMA method, this study reviewed existing literature on correlated with elderly’s (PA) from Web Science, Scopus, PubMed. We conducted a systematic full-text review 25 eligible reports studies related linkage b...

Introduction Neighbourhood contextual factors such as accessibility of food shops and green spaces are associated with adult bodyweight but not necessarily weight-related behaviours. Whether these associations are replicated amongst children is unknown. Aim To understand which aspects of childrens' neighbourhoods are associated with unhealthy weight and weight-related behaviours. Methods In...

In this article, we study the ongoing redevelopment of post-war, modernist residential area Rosengård, located in Sweden’s third biggest city Malmö. We show how a planning and design strategy for has come to focus on ‘compact city’ typology line with Malmö’s creating ‘near, dense, green mixed city’. Such compact emphasizes high density, urbanity, proximity mixed-use as key values renewal, but a...
