Abstract:

Background The challenges faced by the Global South during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic are compounded by the presence of informal settlements, which are typically densely populated and lacking in formalized sanitation infrastructure. Social distancing measures in informal settlements may be difficult to implement due to the density and layout of settlements. This study measures the distance between dwellings in informal settlements in Cape Town to identify the risk of COVID-19 transmission.

Background The 2021 Census in Australia revealed that just over 1 million dwellings were ‘unoccupied’ on census night. This finding was widely reported and may have given the impression of a large number of vacant dwellings ready for households to move into, potentially offering a solution to homelessness and those struggling to find suitable or affordable accommodation. Aims The aim of the paper is to investigate whether there really were 1 million unoccupied dwellings in Australia in 2021, to shed some conceptual and empirical light on exactly what is meant by an ‘occupied’

Abstract:

For decades, energy efficiency has been a key issue in the Norwegian building sector, and energy standards are strict in order to reduce net delivered energy to buildings. Formally, requirements on energy use of dwellings are set by kWh per m2 heated GIA per year, a unit not accounting for dwelling size or number of persons in the households. This study, examining spaciousness of living in relation to dwelling types on an urban scale, shows that dwelling area per resident differs a lot across location and dwelling types.

Loess cave dwellings are the most typical style of regional architecture in northwest China; now, there are still tens of millions of people living in them. The northwest is an earthquake-prone area, and cave dwellings have suffered a lot of damage in previous moderate and strong earthquakes, so their earthquake resistance has attracted people’s attention. At present, the seismic analysis of aboveground building structures is relatively mature, while the seismic analysis of loess cave dwellings is less researched.

Population density is heterogeneous, and using large spatial areas as a basis for estimates from highly urbanised areas leads to unrepresentative values.

Data at the individual block level (net or gross block area) greatly improve the estimates. Eight typical dwelling types in Canberra are used to show that there is a relationship between building form and estimated population density only when population density is calculated using the

Abstract. To limit the losses due to floods, public authorities can try to foster the adoption of private measures aimed at reducing the vulnerability of dwellings. However, the efficacy and cost-efficiency of such measures to reduce material losses are not well-known. In particular, the influence of building and flood characteristics on these variables has not been thoroughly studied. A better understanding of this topic would help identify the measures that are relevant to implement in specific contexts.

Fire disasters in informal settlements (also referred to as slums, shantytowns, favelas, etc.) are a major challenge worldwide, with a single incident being able to displace thousands of people.

Conducting large-scale experiments to quantify and understand these phenomena is difficult and costly.

Abstract In Greenland, Palaeoeskimo dwellings are mostly concentrated in the north and northeast parts of the island. Some are found in the southeast, in the west (from Nuuk to Disko Bay), and in the northwest (Inglefield Land and Washington Land). During the entire period, Palaeoeskimo dwellings show an emphasis on an axial element. In the Early Palaeoeskimo period (Saqqaq and Independence I) the fireplace is a separate square box inside two parallel rows of flags or boulders. Cooking and/or seething stones are common during Saqqaq and rare in Dorset. In Late Saqqaq, a shift in dwelling style

Abstract:

The reliability of loess cave dwellings based on fuzzy failure criterion is researched to analyze the influence of fuzzy set, membership function, and different combinations of random variables. Due to the strength reduction method, the basic failure criterion is established, the fuzzy property of failure criterion is characterized by fuzzy set and membership function, and the performance function of loess cave dwellings is expressed by a quadratic polynomial without cross terms. Reliability is analyzed with different random variable combinations. The reliability research of loess cave dwellin

Abstract:

The engraving applied on the mammoth’s tusk that has been discovered at Mezhirich Paleolithic settlement is traditionally interpreted as the plan of the settlement which reflects four frontally located dwellings surrounded by landscapes (a river, trees etc.). Some other versions of the above interpretation have been also suggested. The author of the paper has offered a somewhat different explanation of the specified engraving – four frontally located elements of the engraving are not four separate dwellings, they reproduce the fragments of the same so-called first dwelling, and the other engra

The evolution of attitudes towards the Siheyuan type dwellings as a historical heritage of Beijing in the 20-th and 21-st centuries is considered and their current state

Abstract:

Highly insulated and airtight homes designed to reduce energy consumption are perceived as having a greater summer overheating risk than less insulated homes. If true, dwellings built to the well-known low-energy Passivhaus (PH) standard could be at greatest risk due to the use of superinsulation, especially as the climate warms. Existing studies are inconclusive and even contradictory, mainly due to small sample sizes. Hence, this paper presents the first large-scale overheating risk analysis of UK Passivhaus dwellings using high-resolution internal temperature data from 82 homes across the U

Crowding in dwellings is an important public health issue. We hypothesize that overcrowding may cause indirect health effects by adversely affecting the dwelling itself, for example, by increasing dampness leading to mold. We therefore performed a systematic search and a scoping review on overcrowding leading to dwelling condition characteristics of relevance for health. A literature search was performed using the PubMed and Scopus databases up to 5 March 2021. The search yielded 100 records with relevant information. We found that overcrowding is defined in numerous ways and often address “so

These dwellings are not only the homes of Shanxi farmers but also the cradle of rich and diverse folk cultures deeply intertwined with the literary and artistic heritage of Shanxi.
