Full textAbstract:
In this article is analyzed the importance of urban agglomerations in the regional organization of Serbian space at one side, and on the other side they are taken as carriers of the future integration of the Serbian urban system into the urban of the South-Eastern Europe (SEE). In the regional configuration of Serbia, more different forms of territorial impacts of urbanization, urban areas and urban regions. High level of urban centralization is formed under the influence of the population density and functions of the metropolitan area of Belgrade. The problems of unbalanced disposition of population growth and qualitative transformation of urban centers are stressed and analyzed. Based on the role in integration process in the SEE, the metropolitan region of Belgrade is pointed out as its principal carrier and the metropolitan region of Nis as its secondary carrier, as well as the urban centers of importance for the cross-border regional cooperation. As the most suitable instrument of internal regional integration the model of Functional Urban Regions (FURs) or Functional Urban Areas (FUAs) is proposed, and for external regional integration is proposed the model of Metropolitan European Growth Areas (MEGAs). The coherent short-term and long-term development strategies for Serbian towns and their regions seem absent.

Full textAbstract:
A model system to forecast urban rail travel demand technically supported the formulation of the Tokyo Urban Rail Development Master Plan for 2016. The model system was included in the forthcoming 15-year urban rail investment strategy for Tokyo and was used to make a quantitative assessment of urban rail projects, including 24 new rail development projects that had been proposed in response to expected changes in sociodemographic patterns, land use markets, and the government’s latest transportation policy goals. The system covered the entire urban rail network within the Tokyo metropolitan area, with approximately a 50-km radius and a population of more than 34 million. The system would have to have handled more than 80 million trips per day. Three demand models were used to predict daily rail passenger link flows: urban rail, airport rail access, and high-speed rail access. These practical models had unique characteristics, such as incorporating differences in behavior between older and younger travelers, reflecting expected influences of urban redevelopment on trip generation and distribution, highlighting urban rail access to airports or high-speed-rail stations, examining effects of in-vehicle crowding on rail route choice, and deploying mode choice models for urban rail station access–egress for rail route choice. The authors concluded that the model system would be well calibrated with observed data for reproducing travel patterns, identifying potential problems, assessing proposed projects, presenting results with high accuracy, and assisting decision making of urban rail planners.

Full textAbstract:
Urban commercial districts (UCDs) are the concentrated areas for commercial activities in a city, which provide shopping, leisure, business, and other functions. Urban planners usually face problems in how to plan and design UCDs. The layout of UCDs should not only be appropriately concentrated to realize economic benefits, but should also be properly dispersed to accommodate the distribution of the population. Using Beijing as a case study, this study conducted research into UCDs from a microscopic perspective by utilizing open source big data. A recognition and classification method of UCDs was proposed based on the data of POI and road networks. The proposed model combines Huff’s model and the Voronoi method to analyze how various UCDs should be distributed within a city according to the spatial pattern of the population. The results showed that different kinds of UCDs had different spatial distribution features. Problems were also found, for example, UCDs on the urban outskirts served a large population; there were limitations to the spatial distribution of UCDs in the downtown area; and there was incongruity between the UCD types and the population layout. Based on these findings, suggestions regarding the optimization of the urban commercial spatial structure were also put forward.

"A Quantitative Approach to Characterizing the Changes and Managing Urban Form for Sustaining the Suburb of a Mega-Urban Region: The Case of North Cianjur." Sustainability 12, no. 19 (September 30, 2020): 8085. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/su12198085.
Full textAbstract:
Mega-urban development in Monsoon Asia has a relatively similar pattern, which leads to the formation of Mega-Urban Region (MUR). Such urban development potentially threatens sustainability as it vastly expands to encroaching rural areas. North Cianjur has been experiencing urban expansion from its surrounding metropolitan areas of Jakarta and Bandung that leads to the formation of urban sprawl and many other environmental problems. In this case, spatial characterization based on a quantitative and objective approach is urgently needed to provide better insight into the development of the mega-urban region’s suburb. This study proposed a quantitative and objective approach which was developed based on a quantitative zoning method. This study aims to characterize the region affected by urban expansion and urban form dynamics in North Cianjur using spatial clustering and spatial metrics approaches. The results showed that North Cianjur has four different zones consisting of two urban zones, a peri-urban zone, and a rural zone. Furthermore, the dynamics of urban forms in North Cianjur showed a trend of a more compact form in the urban zones while outside the urban zones it has become more sprawled and dispersed. This implies that spatial planning policies are incapable of containing and managing the massive expansion forces which were coming from Jakarta metropolitan, Bandung metropolitan, as well as Cianjur urban zones itself. Thus, the quantitative zoning method could enhance spatial planning, as different zones of urban–rural typology and urban from in the mega-urban suburb can be defined as a base for developing more specific effort in managing land-use changes. This approach could be adopted by other regions which have similar characteristics.

The paper considers requirements of the European Landscape Convention as well as obligations of Lithuania in the field of implementation of such requirements. Furthermore, it discusses advancing general and concrete political and legal tools, which are imposed on the national landscape protection, regulation and planning. Landscape protection is proposed to orient towards protection and maintenance of characteristic features, while sustainable development is achieved via landscape planning. The important problems of metropolitan centre fringe landscape formation are analysed. While preparing general plans of cities and district municipalities, district landscape plans give insufficient attention to preservation of landscape characteristics. That is the reason tools for integrated landscape protection and urban development have been proposed in the paper as well as ways for their implementation into the national planning practice. With the help of these tools, land proprietors and urban planners will better understand the influence of proposed decisions on landscape and determine the most suitable urban development forms in the metropolitan fringes. Sustained metropolitan fringe development should be supported by the criterion of landscape protection. It has to implement life quality aspirations of people living both in cities and districts. Santrauka Svarstomi Europos kraštovaizdžio konvencijoje keliami reikalavimai, Lietuvos įsipareigojimai juos įgyvendinti tobulinant bendro ir konkretaus pobūdžio politines ir teisines priemones, skirtas šalies kraštovaizdžiui apsaugoti, tvarkyti ir planuoti. Straipsnyje kraštovaizdžio apsaugą siūloma orientuoti į būdingų kraštovaizdžio ypatybių išsaugojimą ir palaikymą, kai tvarios plėtros siekiama planuojant kraštovaizdį. Aptariamos opios metropolinių centrų priemiesčio kraštovaizdžio formavimo problemos. Rengiant miestų ir rajonų savivaldybių bendruosius planus, rajoninius Kraštovaizdžio planus, priemiesčio kraštovaizdžio charakterio išsaugojimo klausimai nepakankamai respektuojami, todėl siūlomas integruotų kraštovaizdžio apsaugos ir užstatymo plėtros priemonių sukūrimas ir jų įdiegimas į šalies planavimo praktiką. Taikydami šias priemones žemės valdytojai ir projektuotojai geriau suprastų siūlomų sprendinių poveikį kraštovaizdžiui, nustatytų tinkamiausias priemiesčio užstatymo formas, jas harmoningai įterpdami į kraštovaizdinį kontekstą. Kraštovaizdžio apsaugos kriterijumi paremta tvari priemiesčių plėtra turėtų tapti priemone, padedančia įgyvendinti tiek miesto, tiek rajono gyventojų gyvenimo kokybės siekius.

Experience of studying and generalization of materials of research, modeling, normalization and approbation of experimental designing of a number of cities-centers of agglomerations of Ukraine, allowed to develop recommendations for a method of designing of long-term formation and sustainable development. These recommendations include solving the problems of formation and development of the structure of these cities, the step-by-step nature of their decision, the targeted, resource-normative approach of functional planning and forecasting, as well as the methodical scheme of operational organization of the design and implementation process. Setting and solving problems of long-term structure formation and sustainable development of urban complex zones, districts and districts of settlements of urban centers of agglomerations is based on the analysis of urban processes and formation of structure and infrastructure of these multifunctional entities. In solving development problems, the dynamics of changes in the structure and infrastructure of urban complex settlements are analyzed, taking into account agglomeration and regional processes and periodization of sustainable development. The proposed method of consistent and gradual choice of rational direction of sustainable development of metropolitan centers of agglomerations is based on the gradual transition from perspectives of development and long-term forecasting to problems of medium and short-term planning and design. The main purpose of this methodology is to focus on the maximum effect of urban planning, taking into account the long-term sustainable perspective with the disclosure of the mechanisms of its formation and development by finding optimal proposals between the processes of autonomization and integration of the city centers of agglomerations and zones of their impact (agglomeration, region) at each stage long-term sustainable development, taking into account development reserves.

Full textAbstract:
The growing demand for passenger and freight transport in cities, resulting from the population growth in urbanized areas, has led to increasing problems with congestion, environmental pollution and, as a consequence, to a decrease in quality of life. This problem was noticed by the European Commission, which began to promote the concept of sustainable urban mobility plans (SUMPs). The efficient implementation of SUMPs requires tools for its evaluation. However, in the literature, most proposed assessment tools relate mainly to passenger transport, omitting the freight transport. The purpose of this paper is to utilize a multiple criteria analysis with the use of the Promethee method in order to assess the level of advancement of selected European Union (EU) capital cities in the field of sustainable urban mobility plan formulation and implementation. This method has been applied on the basis of a survey conducted among representatives of 15 EU capital cities and analyses of transportation plans. This research shows that cities that have a comprehensive transport plan consistently collaborate with different stakeholder groups, have implemented the greatest number of measures in the field of sustainable urban transport, and have achieved the best results in terms of safety and NO2 (nitrogen oxides) and PM (particulate matter) emissions.

Full textAbstract:
Ecological environment evaluation is of great significance to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and promote the harmonious development of economy, society, and environment. To evaluate environmental SDGs, single environmental indicators have been analyzed at national or large regional scale in some literature, while the urban integrated environment is ignored. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically and quantically evaluate the sustainability of ecological environment integrating the water, soil, and air environment at the urban scale. This study aims to construct the Integrated Perception Ecological Environment Indicator (IPEEI) based on the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response (DPSIR) framework to solve the above-mentioned problems. The IPEEI model was proposed based on the three-level association mechanism of the Domain-Theme-Element, and the DPSIR framework conforming to the relevant standards for indicator determination. Moreover, the multi-dimensional, multi-thematic, and multi-urban quantitative evaluations were conducted using the entropy weight method, and the comprehensive evaluation grades by the Jenks natural breaks classification method of the geospatial analysis. Nine cities in the Wuhan Metropolitan Area were selected as the experimental areas. The results were consistent with the Ecological Index and local government’s planning and measures, which demonstrated that IPEEI can be effectively verified and applied for the evaluation of urban ecological environment sustainability.

Full textAbstract:
Some initiatives on green economy have taken place in Nepal, albeit mainly in the forms of dialogues and seminars on the subject. The National Planning Commission, with support of the Poverty Environment Initiative Programme, has organized a few discussion programmes on the subject in recent years. Different non-governmental organizations and the private sector have also organized dialogues on the subject. Among others, these dialogues and seminars have helped spur the debate on what a green economy means for Nepal, which are the sectors that could potentially contribute to a green economy and hence need to be promoted, and what roles different stakeholders should play in Nepal’s pursuit of a green economy. Majority of the people living in Nepal are dependent on agriculture and forestry for their livelihoods. These sectors have not contributed much to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The state of industrial development in the country has not been to the desired extent, and therefore, GHG emissions thereof are very minimal. That is not to say, however, that Nepal is free of environment-related problems. Environmental degradation has been ever increasing; urban population is constantly on the rise and environmental problems are rising commensurately; modern agriculture and unsustainable forestry management practices in many cases are adding to environmental woes; among others. Given that the world is increasingly resorting to a green economy path, Nepal needs to adopt green economy policies to be competitive in the world market. Hence, there is a need to have organized structures to steer the debate on green economy approaches that are applicable in the Nepalese context. Many sectors in Nepal, such as agriculture and forestry, are already green. Moreover, Nepal is yet to enter into the industrialization phase. Therefore, it is relatively easier for the country to take a greener approach to industrialization and development than for many other countries that need to revisit their traditional approach. Nepal can take the initiative of going green by focusing first on three major sectors: agriculture and forestry; infrastructure and energy; and tourism.

Full textAbstract:
All over the world, the rapid urbanization process is challenging the sustainable development of our cities. In 2015, the United Nation highlighted in Goal 11 of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) the importance to “Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable”. In order to monitor progress regarding SDG 11, there is a need for proper indicators, representing different aspects of city conditions, obviously including the Land Cover (LC) changes and the urban climate with its most distinct feature, the Urban Heat Island (UHI). One of the aspects of UHI is the Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI), which has been investigated through airborne and satellite remote sensing over many years. The purpose of this work is to show the present potential of Google Earth Engine (GEE) to process the huge and continuously increasing free satellite Earth Observation (EO) Big Data for long-term and wide spatio-temporal monitoring of SUHI and its connection with LC changes. A large-scale spatio-temporal procedure was implemented under GEE, also benefiting from the already established Climate Engine (CE) tool to extract the Land Surface Temperature (LST) from Landsat imagery and the simple indicator Detrended Rate Matrix was introduced to globally represent the net effect of LC changes on SUHI. The implemented procedure was successfully applied to six metropolitan areas in the U.S., and a general increasing of SUHI due to urban growth was clearly highlighted. As a matter of fact, GEE indeed allowed us to process more than 6000 Landsat images acquired over the period 1992–2011, performing a long-term and wide spatio-temporal study on SUHI vs. LC change monitoring. The present feasibility of the proposed procedure and the encouraging obtained results, although preliminary and requiring further investigations (calibration problems related to LST determination from Landsat imagery were evidenced), pave the way for a possible global service on SUHI monitoring, able to supply valuable indications to address an increasingly sustainable urban planning of our cities.

Full textAbstract:
The analysis of some systems of green areas and public parks of the metropolitan area of Guadalajara, other cities of our country Mexico and Latin America, shows common problems such as the deficit of urban green spaces, insecurity, unemployment, and uncertainty with a social exclusion in these areas of stress. Likewise, the lack of economic value of the services provided by such natural systems as recreation is added. Together they are important factors in the allocation of territories destined to this use with respect to others that generate Urban speculation. Therefore, it is proposed to develop a typology of green areas appropriate to the needs of the metropolitan region. It will facilitate the production of inventories that estimate indicators of territorial cohesion, governance, economic profitability, social, environmental quality and innovation, as well as incorporating new technologies that improve geographic information systems and internet media that support management.

Full textAbstract:
From the 1960th to 1980th years in the second half of the 20th century, numerous “sea city concepts” were proposed as a new city image. Among these concepts, in Japan, the sea city concept reflecting the current urban development situation of that time, was drawn by the architects as an image of the ideal city. During that period, in Japan for the purpose of the further economic development, the landfilled industrial zones were created in the surroundings of large metropolitan areas of Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya. It led to the concentration of the population due to the people fleeing to the big cities from the provinces for employment, which created various problems of big cities such as population overcrowding, land shortage, traffic jams, air pollution, etc., so the different tasks became apparent. As a way to solve such problems, a sea city plan has been proposed. The oldest initiative was the Tokyo Bay concept of 1958 which proposed the creation of a new city by creating a new land by landfilling Tokyo Bay. However, that initiative only covered the expansion of the existing land, and didn’t make any advantage of “ocean” resources. For that reason, the further proposals subsequently enabled taking advantage of the sea by creating the canals, artificial islands or pile-style structures which led to adoption of proposal to float up. After that, the sea city concepts basing on the floating type had increased, and the subjected water area transited from the shallow water to the offshore area. Furthermore, the authors are planning to arrange the process of transition of the concept of the sea city by taking into account the changes the way oceans are treated and the structures relative to time.
