Abstract:

Abstract In this research, the environmental reality of the ditches to rainwater drain located in the residential neighborhoods of Al-Hilla city in Iraq was studied. The study was conducted on three ditches near schools and health center within three residential neighborhoods. Chemical laboratory tests (BOD, COD, TSS, TN, TP, NO2-, NO3-, SO42-, Cl-, CN-, pH, T, DO) were proceeded on this water and it was found that the water is high polluted in sewage water compared to the sewage entering the treatment plant in the city and comparing with samples of water taken from ditches outside the city (a

Abstract:

The article deals with the problematic issues of tracing and dating the fortifications of the city of Bolgar in pre-Mongol times (from the end of the 9th to the beginning of the 13th centuries). On the basis of topographic referencing of the excavations, in which the filled ditches were discovered, all the data available on the placement of the defense lines of the early Bolgar are systematized. There is not enough data to exactly date them, therefore, the sequence of appearance of these lines is not obvious. The ditches indicate that there were ramparts next to them, the earth of which was us

Abstract:

Excavations at Ravelrig Quarry, City of Edinburgh revealed activity from the Late Neolithic, and late Bronze Age, although the main phase of activity was the construction of a palisaded homestead during the early Iron Age. Inside an oval shaped palisade was a circular ring-groove roundhouse and a possible second circular structure comprising ditches and post-holes. The roundhouse contained a central hearth with associated post-holes, two large pits and features that appear to represent the early formation of a ring-ditch. This phase has been radiocarbon dated to 600–400 cal BC

Abstract:

Dengue fever is a vector-borne disease that has become a serious global public health problem over the past decade. An essential aspect of controlling and preventing mosquito-borne diseases is reduction of mosquito density. Through the process of urbanization, sewers (ditches) have become easy breeding sources of vector mosquitoes. In this study, we, for the first time, used unmanned ground vehicle systems (UGVs) to enter ditches in urban areas to observe vector mosquito ecology. We found traces of vector mosquitoes in ~20.7% of inspected ditches, suggesting that these constitute viable breedi

The ditches and canals of Livorno, also called Fossi, are the most characterized elements the city, not only from a historical point of view, but also and above all from an urban landscape characterization point of view. Due to the overlapping of skills not yet resolved, fragmented information and data exist regarding the real extent of the pleasure craft, the status of the canals, the provision of services and general safety. The hypothesis is to succeed, through a multi-criteria assessment of scenarios, to support and quantify the displacement of vessels that negatively affect accessibility and the landscape of Livorno's Fossi system elsewhere.

Abstract:

AbstractAvailability and sustainable management of the sewerage system are extremely important as sanitation infrastructure to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 6. Japan has become a depopulated society since 2010, and therefore sewerage systems in Japan will face difficulties because of the decrease in human resources, deterioration of the facilities, and limited budgets. Although innovative sanitation technologies to overcome these issues are strongly required, various barriers inhibit the development, implementation, and technology diffusion. The author and his research group have developed “dual dissolved oxygen control system in oxidation ditch process” through three-way university–industry–government partnerships. This chapter summarizes the history of the development, social acceptance, and expansion to other cities of the technology and analyzes the social integration and acceptance process. The key elements behind the success of this project are as follows: (1) enthusiasm of all stakeholders toward the shared goal, (2) win-win relationships among stakeholders and respect for each other, (3) research and development considering future applications and technology diffusion, (4) participation of local governments as important stakeholders, (5) agreement of the municipal parliament of Konan City, and (6) registration of the technology to “JS Innovation Program,” by Japan Sewage Works Agency.

It hath broad streets, with Orchards, Gardens, and Mills as well within as without the City, a Chanel for driving them being brought from the River thorow the City. In this way a seventeenth-century English writer describes Cremona, where Monteverdi was born. The town lies some fifty miles from Milan in the heart of the great plain of northern Italy. It is comparatively unvisited today, except by tourists who wish to look at the cathedral and the splendidly tall clock tower. Indeed it seems an almost isolated town, not even on a main road to the east or south.

Abstract:

Sewage as we know it—the everyday miracle of feces disappearing down the toilet, pushed by a never-ending flow of clean water—is a recent invention. The flush toilet itself has been created, and then forgotten, many times down through the ages. But the grand scheme that we all take for granted—an endless supply of clean water piped in and limitless amounts of dirty water piped out—was thought up by Edwin Chadwick, a British lawyer turned public health crusader, in the 1840s. Back then the cities of the Old World were awash in human waste. Even the most elegant homes had privies that emptied into cesspits, where decades of accumulated filth sat rotting beneath the parlor floor. The poor lived in tenements where dozens of people might have to share one privy. Chadwick supervised a survey of sanitary conditions in English cities that came up with some amazing statistics. In parts of Manchester there was one privy to every 215 people. Some houses had yards covered six inches deep in “human ordure,” which the inhabitants crossed by stepping on bricks. “Sir Henry De La Beche was obliged at Bristol to stand up at the end of alleys and vomit while Dr. Playfair was investigating overflowing privies,” Chadwick wrote of one of his colleagues. “Sir Henry was obliged to give it up.” London had sewers, of a sort: They were open ditches that sloped toward the Thames, and were meant to drain stormwater out of the streets. But by Chadwick’s day, the gunk from thousands of overflowing cesspits emptied into these sewers, then oozed its way into the river. Parliament’s windows on the riverfront had not been opened in years because of the stench. The Chelsea Water Company, which provided drinking water to many Londoners, still had its intake a few feet from the outfall of the Ranelagh sewer. An editorial in The Spectator pointed out that city residents paid the water companies “340,000 pounds per annum for a more or less concentrated solution of native guano.”

Abstract:

One of the primary problems in the research of Dvin was and remains the water supply of the city: irrigation, economic and defense, as well as domestic and drinking water supply systems. By combining written sources, archaeological data, aerial photos, satellite photos and field work related to the water supply of Dvin, an attempt was made in the article to clarify the main directions of the waterways going from Azat River to Dvin, to present the technical characteristics of the water networks found inside the city. According to historical sources, orchards were located around the city and not far from it. We consider the evidence of rice and cotton cultivation to be important. Almost all authors attest to the river flowing near the walls of the city of Dvin and the water sources of the city. In some parts of the city walls and the citadel of Dvin, traces of the surrounding water ditch, which was once filled with the waters of the Azat River, are clearly visible. Parts of that system continue to be used for different purposes and to various degrees. As a result of the excavations carried out in Dvin in 2022–2023, the sediment of the water supply ditch, which is 12 m wide and up to 60 cm thick, was also excavated and examined. According to stratigraphy, the archaeological layer can be dated to the 9th century. The network of water pipes of the city is distributed in the area of about 120 hectares. Many distributors, filters, elbows and other structures and artifacts related to water supply systems were also found during the archaeological excavations.

Abstract:

The first part of this chapter focuses on a critique of the neoliberal creative city defined here as the state-facilitated marketization of the creative economy. It concentrates on the conceptual work of Richard Florida for two reasons. First, although his approach has been heavily criticized previously, it best represents the dominant neoliberal creative city approach. Second, Florida’s schema has been highly influential worldwide both in its conceptual reach as well as in terms of urban policy. Rather than rescuing cities, Florida’s creative paradigm has contributed to a new neoliberal ‘urban crisis’ and growing inequalities. Should we ditch the idea of creativity altogether or are there existing alternative artistic practices that might inform a new urban vision? The second part of the chapter contributes to the urban creativity debate through research on ‘alternative creative spaces’, defined here as art and cultural spaces which are oppositional to the neoliberal creativity paradigm.

Abstract:

Caričin Grad (Justiniana Prima) is an ideal site for studying urbanism in the early Byzantine period. Amongst the numerous early Byzantine sites in the central Balkans, Caričin Grad is one of the very few that was a city and was founded in the sixth century. Its fortifications include three separate walled areas (the Acropolis, the Upper City, and the Lower City). Contrary to the traditional view, this chapter argues that the walls of the Acropolis were not part of the original plan and that the Upper and Lower Cities were established at the same time. The Church and the army occupied more than two-thirds of the Upper City and the Lower Town contained mainly public buildings. The only known intramural residential area lies in the south-west corner of the Lower City. Houses here were built of stone bonded with clay at ground-floor level, and the upper floor was constructed with a timber frame and cob walls and had tile roofs. It is also very likely that there was an extramural population, protected by a ditch and palisades.

Abstract The Dominicans, also called the ‘ preaching’ or ‘ black’ friars, came to England in 1221. Their first house was in Holborn. In 1275 they acquired a site on the sloping ground between St. Paul’s and the river, just to the east of Fleet ditch, and obtained leave to divert the walls of the City so as to furnish a north and north-west boundary to their precinct. Here grew up a very famous convent, the mother; house of all the Dominican settlements in the country. It received favours from several sovereigns, . notably from Edward I and his Queen Eleanor, who were regarded as its founders; and in return held its great buildings available for national purposes. In 1322–3 it furnished a depository for state records.

It is obvious that the such short-lived objects of utility purpose digging in the earth, couldn’t be simultaneous to land constructions (including public houses).

This system follows the layout of the walls and bastions of the ancient defensive and customs complex of the city in the modern age.Livorno is a city on the water constantly evolving: from a Pisan walled city in the second half of the 14th century, to the “pupilla dell’occhio del dominio” [apple of the eye of the Florentine dominion] in the 16th century, with Buontalenti's pentagonal bastion surrounded by a wide moat connect

Abstract:

Road defects are inevitable in the infrastructure of any city but its effects on the safety of road users and overall economy vary. There are several factors which contribute towards the magnitude and frequency of such defects and how much human and financial loss they incur. Finding suitable solutions to these road defects which are cost effective as well as sustainable are necessary. This study aims to explore the various common road defects, their cause and possible sustainable solutions. Different localities in the city of Karachi were selected for estimating the average frequency and magn
