Abstract:

Establishing effective air quality management is a continuing challenge in large East Asian cities for local and national governments. Regional economic development is leading to increasing industrialization, motorization, energy consumption and urbanization within East Asian countries, creating growing sources of urban air pollution. The policy landscape for air quality management is changing globally, with new policy instruments and programs for air pollution being introduced to operate alongside traditional “command and control” regulation. This is creating an additional challenge for g

Abstract:

The goal of the thesis is to develop a holistic framework to improve the service quality of a ride-sourcing system in terms of reducing waiting and unassigned time of the ride-sourcing vehicles and reducing waiting and unassigned time the passengers. To this end, the research approach deals with three main intertwine problems: designing a vehicle-passenger matching method, modelling of a ride-sourcing system in a macroscopic level, and designing a proactive controller for repositioning of idle vehicles. The specific objectives of this thesis are (i) designing an adaptive spatio-temporal m

Abstract:

This thesis investigates the development of the largest sites - megasites - in Europe during the Chalcolithic (4th millennium BC) and seeks to discuss their urban nature within the wider settlement context of the Trypillia group in modern Ukraine. The study brings together a number of different archaeological datasets and sources, including remote sensing, field survey and legacy data, into a single GIS-based interpretative framework. The assessment of the potential of these sources of information is carried out in order to establish a new field methodology, as well as a nuanced theoretical fr

Abstract:

Along with the transition of major Western cities from production bases to consumption places over recent decades, urban public spaces have been increasingly manipulated by urban governments and developers as an effective 'tool' to promote commercial activities and events, and to attract more consumers, investment and developments. In the face of this trend, on the one hand the positive contributions of consumerist culture to the revitalisation of city life have been recognised and credited; while on the other hand, critics have discussed the negative effects of consumption powers in the shapi

Abstract:

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs) are key components of the transportation systems within future smart cities, in which information and communication technologies interact to enhance the transportation system. By collecting and analyzing real-time data, and applying advanced data analytics techniques, ITS can make better-informed decisions, that are sent back to the network actuators (cars, drivers, traffic signals, travelers,... etc.) to solve or at least mitigate the ongoing transportation problems. In such feedback systems, the communication network is a major component that intera

Abstract:

The main purpose of this paper is to examine what affects the frequency of adaptation actions taken by cities during the years 2018-2019. Focus is placed on three specific factors derived from previous research regarding cities’ adaptive behavior; the number of climate networks in which a city is participating, exposure to natural hazards and economic capacity. Through linear regression analysis, three hypotheses regarding the three chosen explanatory variables are tested, investigating if correlations exist between these variables and the frequency of adaptation actions reported by cities to

Abstract:

The city of Seattle, Washington made headlines in 2014 when its city council enacted the highest minimum wage in the history of the United States. The ruling appeared to begin a trend as similar policies began diffusing in cities across the country. In reality, however, municipal minimum wage ordinances have existed since the early 1990’s. Yet, despite over two decade’s worth of data on the subject, little research has been conducted to understand the characteristics that influence cities to enact minimum wages in the first place.

Abstract:

This Thesis aims to estimate the quantitative effect of the number of cinemas on ticket prices. The analysis uses a dataset comprising German cities with more than 200,000 inhabitants and non-monopolistic market conditions. Furthermore, the determining factors for the number of cinemas in those cities are also analyzed. For both questions, a panel data set containing those cities for the time period 2007-2016 was studied by means of panel regression with fixed effects. The results suggest even smaller effects that cinema numbers have on ticket prices for Germany than found by Davis (2005) in h

Abstract:

Design plays an important role in facilitating (or inhibiting) the performance of social activities in urban open spaces. Although recent literature has acknowledged that visual and non-visual sensory aspects should be taken into account in the design of environments, most theory, practice and teaching of urban design have focused on the visual qualities of spaces. Furthermore, design processes have often been based on the practitioners own intuitions and preferences instead of knowledge of how people interact with urban open spaces.

Abstract:

Photovoltaic thermal (PVT) collectors are widely used to harness a large fraction of the solar spectrum to generate electricity and heat from a single collector. The circulation of the working medium will pass through the collector which cools down the PV cell temperature and also increases the water temperature, which will increase the electrical and thermal performance at the same time. PVT is an emerging technology and is demonstrated for domestic and industrial applications. There has also been a major gap for the techno-economic analysis of PVT system in different climatic conditions and
