Abstract:

This study offers a macro-historical geographic comparison of blue-green urban infrastructure in the coastal cities of Boston, USA and Mumbai (formerly Bombay), India. After introducing the aims and methods of comparative historical geography, we focus on the insights that these two cases offer. Their stories begin with ancient coastal fishing settlements, followed by early processes of urbanization and fortification in the 17th century. By the late-18th century Anglo-American merchants in Boston were trading with Parsi merchants in Bombay, at a time when Bostonians had little more to sell than ice in exchange for India’s fine textiles. From the early-19th century onwards, the two maritime cities undertook surprisingly parallel processes of land reclamation and water development. Boston commissioned blue-green infrastructure proposals at the urban scale, from Frederick Law Olmsted’s Back Bay Fens to Charles Eliot’s Metropolitan Park District Plan—innovations that offer more than a century of lessons in environmental performance and resilience. The two cities developed parallel “Esplanade,” “Back Bay,” and “Reclamation” projects. None of these projects anticipated the magnitude of 20th century land, water, and infrastructure change. Both cities have begun to address the increasing risks of urban flooding, sea level rise, and population displacement, but they need bolder metropolitan visions of blue-green urban infrastructure to address emerging climate change and water hazards.

Abstract:

Weriagar District is located in estuary area and is prone to land loss, due to river and coastal erosion. Without any prevention efforts, Weriagar land might be disappear due to erosion on coastal and riverside. The Shore Housing Improvement Program was developed in 2014 to improve the environment, housing and settlement in Weriagar District. Based on the preliminary site observation and further site survey, the program continued in conducting in-depth analysis consists of house assessment method prior to concept select matrix development, in which design criteria were obtained. The results from analysis phase shows that it is necessary to design a house and settlement that can fulfil the needs of indigenous people, both functionally and aesthetically. Functionally, the house is designed to provide spaces for both private and public needs of the family. It can be used either as a family private space or as a public gathering space between family and their neighbours. Aesthetically, houses’ architectural form is designed to identify the locality of Weriagar District. The houses’ design feature highlighted in using local material, rainwater harvesting system, high pitched roof feature as a response to hot-humid climate and elevated-floor feature as response to tidal condition in estuary area.

Abstract:

This article uses the materials of archaeological researches of the monuments and iconographic sources to make a detailed analysis of some architectonic members the medrese in the town of Krym (Solkhat; now Staryi Krym, formerly Eski-Kyrym), which was built in 733 AH (=1332/33 AD) by the order from Indzhi-Bay Hatun, a daughter of Kyl-Burun Bay. The results of the research allow a reliable restoration of the original appearance of the entrances to the living rooms of the building. The doorways of the hujras belonged to the same type, with inconsiderable difference of dimensions at some places. Despite the clearly distinguished centre with the dominant monumental portal designating the longitudinal axis of the structure, the medrese’s main facade had an asymmetric composition. Its sides had different numbers and arrangement of windows and stone gutters. The design and shape of the openings which illuminated eastern hujras are reconstructed with reliability. The basic planes of the main facade were decorated with profiled protrusions that completely framed the wall around the perimeter, simultaneously highlighted the basement and contoured the window frames. The most problematic is a detailed reconstruction of the lost forms of the portal which general outline appears on M. M. Ivanov’s watercolours. So far there is no doubt concerning the solid profiled reglet which framed the portal on the outer side: it outlined the portal’s main surfaces by limiting them above and on the back side. The graphic reconstruction of the whole structure with its minor details depends, to a great extent, on the introduction into the scholarship of absolutely all architectural, structural and decorative members discovered in Staryi Krym and especially those excavated from the building in question.

Abstract:

Historical buildings in the centre of European cities are characterized by compact built-up areas with diversified heights of buildings, most often with multi-sloped roofs. Architectural elements, dormers, chimneys and bay windows, cause limitations in the availability of surface area for solar installations. The paper presents the results of an analysis for possibilities in meeting energy requirements with the use of solar energy for old-town buildings in the centre of Bydgoszcz. Based on the calculations made, it was determined that the dense downtown development has a very large roof surface, however, the vicinity of buildings, roof slope angles, and obstacles cause significant restrictions on the location of such installations. The article analyzes selected fragments of the Downtown district. The height of buildings, their shape and the surface of their roofs and all the obstacles that occur there were taken into account. The conclusions concern an assessment of the possibility of using the potential of solar energy in this type of building. The efficiency of solar installations and the losses associated with energy conversion and transmission to customers is also included.

Abstract:

This paper presents the analysis of an embankment failure over a soft clay deposit in the district of Caju, Rio de Janeiro. The uncommon feature of the analysis is related to the embankment's material, which is mainly composed of dumped sanitary and rubble fill, and the unconsolidated state of the subjacent clay layer. Index tests were performed to obtain geotechnical characteristics and a profile of the soft clay deposit, which were compared with a well-known Brazilian clay from the same area (Guanabara Bay). Oedometer tests, in situ and laboratory vane tests, standard penetration tests, and conventional triaxial tests were also carried out. Total stress calculations were used to interpret and back analyze the failure and also to obtain the mobilized shear strength at both the fill and clay foundation. It was concluded that for an embankment cohesion of 0–20 kPa, the ratio between the back-analyzed Cu and the in situ postfailure Cu has a magnitude similar to the soft clay sensitivity. Key words: case history, sanitary fill, soft clay.

Abstract:

This research aims to discover people’s perceptions and preferences towards building façade. This research has used a mixed-method approach with the triangulation of data validation. In the analysis, a sequence-analysis method has been utilized, beginning from qualitative descriptive to quantitative one. Data were collected from in-depth-interview with several key persons like district official, officers of certain governmental departments, and questionnaire distribution to the people who have their daily activities in Ki SamaunStreet, which is part of Kota Lama area in Tangerang City. The findings of this study show that colors; architectural design; width and height of the buildings and building-‘s’ ornaments are the most important elements in building façade that can be used to comprehend the people’s perceptions and preferences. This study has found that there are similarities between people’s perceptions and preferences with the Kota Lama’s development plans. Both sides are of the opinion that the colors of the buildings are similar, unpleasant, and there are some buildings more stand out than the others. Both sides also perceive that the architectural style of the buildings no longer represents the Chinese culture. This makes the restoration work to reverse the façade back into its original form is essential. Both sides also recognize that building-‘s’ height and width are not in harmony, although the people think that renovation is not needed. Both sides also observe that there are no buildingswith similar ornaments; whilesignage is the main source of visual pollution and rearrangement of signage is needed.

Abstract:

Bhasan char is a coastal island at Hatiya Upzilla of Noakhali District. It is a single char which has been uncovered from the Bay of Bengal a few years back. An emergency humanitarian project implemented by the Bangladesh government at this coastal island “Bhasan Char”, from September 2017, to temporarily rehabilitate a portion of incoming Rohingya refugees before they can repatriate to their homeland, Myanmar. Under this project, Government of Bangladesh (GoB) carried out land development, construction of embankment as well as other infrastructures. Upon repatriation of Rohingya's to Myanmar, we can use the developed land & surroundings as exclusive tourist zone. This paper is an outline to establish Bhasan Char as an exclusive tourist spot and a feasibility analysis of an off-grid hybrid energy generation system for this proposed tourism spot. Here, we had conducted a hypothetical zonal design, energy estimation, off-grid energy distribution, energy generation and a sustainable tariff plan for this exclusive zone in modular basis.

Abstract:

- The complex regulations for general plans which the Lombard Regional Law No. 12/2005 defines, seem suited above all to large urban and metropolitan realities. Planning in Lombardy therefore puts small municipalities, who often find difficulty in applying that law, to the test. Two cases of small municipalities illustrate the use they have made of Regional Law n. 12, the difficulties they encountered and the results achieved: Cassinetta di Lugagnano in the Province of Milan along the Naviglio Grande canal, with a town centre of great historical architectural value and Vaiano Cremasco in the Province of Cremona, where the consolidated agricultural land use and an attractive landscape sit alongside an active and heavily industrialised district. In both cases the general plan places the accent on respect for the environment, on safeguarding unbuilt land and on the need for urban planning to take back its role in directing and co-ordinating the environment. The main fundamental principle is that of the least consumption of land possible which is taken to the utmost in the case of Cassinetta di Lugagnano, where a principle of ‘zero growth' has been adopted for the municipality's urban planning policies.

Abstract:

Nitrogen is an element essential for building fundamental blocks of life. When present in excess amount in air, it causes adverse effects for the environment and human health.Different air pollutants when scavenged through rains are deposited on the surface. The chemical composition of rain water is an indicator of the levels of different air pollutants in the region. The present study reports the concentrations of Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) and the reactive nitrogen species (NO3- and NH4+) in rain water at an urban site located in the Saharsa district of Bihar. The sampling was carried out during July 2018 to October 2018.Total 18 samples were collected during this period. Results showed that the concentration of NO3- was considerably higher (2.91 mg/L)ranging from 0.26 to 11.84 mg/L than the NH4+(0.84 mg/L) ranging from 0.00 to 3.2 mg/L.The pH value in the samples ranged from 5.50 to 7.68 with a mean value of 6.52.The DOC in rain water has been estimated by using the Shimadzu TOC analyzer. Apart from DOC, total carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN) & inorganic carbon (IC) have also been also analyzed by Shimadzu TOC analyzer. The results showed that both anthropogenic and natural sources contributed to the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in rain water. The linkages between the sources and the transformations of gaseous NH3 with DOC have been established considering the fact that most of TN is represented by NH3.Airmass back trajectory analysis showed that the site has trans-boundary source influence from Bay of Bengal and Bangladesh. The study suggests that there is need of continuous monitoring of these parameters in air in order to notice any impact on human health, soil and vegetation.

Abstract:

The aim of this project is to investigate engineering methods to reduce salinity in the cooling canals at the Florida Power & Light (FP&L) Turkey Point Power Plant. In order to stop discharging hot water from the plant into the adjacent Biscayne Bay, a cooling canal system was made operational in 1972 that occupies an area 3.2 km wide by 8.0 km long extending south of the plant. The 5,900 acre canal system has been measured at twice the salinity of the adjacent Biscayne Bay at as high as 68 ppt [Appendix i]. Florida Power & Light added a canal along the western perimeter of the cooling canal system to intercept seepage. The interceptor ditch enables FP&L to pump seepage back into the canal system during the dry season thus reducing the groundwater flow of hypersaline water to the west. The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) are monitoring a saltwater plume migrating west of FP&L property (FDEP/SFWMD Miami-Dade Saltwater Intrusion Presentation pg 3). Tidal influences have a profound effect on saltwater intrusion, so it is difficult to quantify the influence of the canals on this plume. To ensure that FP&L has no culpability in the contamination of ground water, the cooling canals should either operate at a lower level of salinity or be isolated to restrict flow to underground sources of water. Isolation, however, is not an appealing option as the methods which have been conceptualized are highly invasive. Environmental concerns are abundant as the ecosystem within the cooling canals supports at least 17 protected species of birds and animals of South Florida. Over 25% of the world’s population of the American crocodile resides in the Turkey Point cooling canals. Very few organisms require a hypersaline condition to thrive; therefore, lowering the salt concentration of the canal system is not expected to have adverse effects upon the ecosystem. Careful attention must be paid to ensure wildlife survival during treatment and/or disposal system development and operation.
