Abstract:

Recreation philosophy is human ability to relax applying various games and activities, where a game or activity has some purpose, which we should know and understand how to achieve it. Parkour is a movement, form of training, a way of getting it, the art of moving from point A to point B with your own body as a means in as fast, efficient and controlled manner as possible based on your own circumstances. It is completely free from competitions, competitions or other forms of rivalry. Recreation is for people to restore from everyday work routine and stress. Practically people perceive this essence of recreation which gives us a possibility to relax and creates emotions of happiness. Parkour is an art that helps you pass any obstacle to go from point A to point B using only the abilities of the human body. One of recreation and parkour kinds is outdoor activities, which means different open-air activities in nature. Outdoor activities have a physical, mental, emotional and even educational effect on a participant. Recreation and parkour activities are not organized like competitions, to participate in them there are no rules made. People who go in for recreation outdoors need only space on the land, water or in the air. It is an activity which allows an individual to renew interacting with the nature in cities and villages, as well as in virgin nature territories. What separates them from parkour is that they contain more acrobatic and spectacular movements and where there may be an assessment in the performance. Recreational activities and parkour activities have many symbioses, sometimes we can Sayed recreational parkour (parkour of basics) for everyone. We are getting great emotions and physical well-being.

Abstract:

Forested lands serve multiple needs, and the priorities that go into balancing the competing demands can vary over time. In addition to being the source of timber and other natural resources, forested lands provide a number of other services such as biodiversity conservation and opportunities for outdoor recreation. While allocations that enhance conservation and recreation can involve expenses and lost revenue, mechanisms exist to provide landowners with incentives to make such contributions. Here, we review the literature and present a conceptual framework that can help landowners envision possible contributions towards bolstering outdoor recreation opportunities on their lands. The framework classifies forests within a simple conceptual space defined by two axes: (1) the spectrum of intensity of recreational use, and (2) the level of economic contribution required by landowners to meet recreational demands of visitors to their lands. The resulting matrix consists of four broad categories that can be used in forest management zoning as seen from an outdoor recreation perspective: general and special considerations for recreational opportunities and biodiversity, wilderness and nature reserves, and service areas. These categories have different tolerances for active silviculture and require shifting harvest practices spatially within the forest property. While timber revenues may decrease with shifting allocations, other sources of revenue may open up. With an increasingly urban population and rising demands for natural resources, it is prudent for landowners and land use planners to consider zoning their properties to better handle potential conflicts. The framework presented here provides a simple, structured approach to visualize future challenges and opportunities.

Abstract:

According to the economic development and the requirement of leisure activities, the popularity of leisure and recreation become very popular in Taiwan. Thus, How to attract tourists to visit these leisure places becomes as a major issue. The questionnaire and outdoor and semi-outdoor comfort detecting devices are applied to analyze these real factors. The results of questionnaire display that “choose a comfortable time to recreation” and “choose the comfort of shade near the local open space” are most important factors for tourists. Then, filed test results show that actual influence factors of tourist activities are outdoor and semi-outdoor thermal comfort, such as wind velocity and surface temperature of construction materials. Thus, the suitable construction material is imitation wood for creating a comfort place.

Abstract:

AbstractModern society is fascinated by Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), physical laziness, isolation from nature, and a preference for staying indoors. Despite the general acceptance and understanding of the health benefits of recreation in the open air, a change is being seen in the recreational patterns of urban dwellers, as they spend less time outdoors. In order to counteract such behaviours, we can try to apply ICTs to enhance time spent outdoors. The performed study aimed to find uses of ICT solutions in designing public spaces in order to enhance and promote a healthy lifestyle. The selected examples show possible applications of ICT in promoting active recreation, e.g. mobile applications for sport activities, urban games in line with the idea of the Playable City, and urban furniture and outdoor hotspots enabling access to the Internet. The research findings proved that digitisation is not only a threat to a healthy lifestyle, but that it can also create opportunities to improve the quality of life.

Abstract:

A growing number of people live in agglomerations, and the need for nearby outdoor spaces that provide the population with opportunities for recovery and to sustain health is increasing. However, urban sprawl dissects and consumes near-natural outdoor spaces in periurban regions. In order to manage and design the remaining nearby outdoor recreation areas to support public health, it is necessary to understand which factors influence nearby outdoor recreation in periurban forest and open country. This article reports on this question by investigating personal, social, and spatial influence factors in qualitative interviews (N = 15) and in a representative survey (N = 656) of the inhabitants of Frauenfeld, Switzerland. Multilinear regression techniques were used to link declared presence/absence to landscape properties and to generate preference maps for the area. We found that short distance, accessibility on foot, workloads, and a person's area knowledge significantly influence workday use frequency of nearby outdoor recreation areas, and that recreation infrastructure is little used on workdays. The most frequently visited sites have a dense small-road and trail network, allow accessibility to rivers or creeks, and enable the users to have an overview of a larger part of the landscape. Recommendations for the design of nearby outdoor recreation areas are given.

Abstract:

In recent years, Urban population density spreads towards suburbs of the metropolitan city as the impact of urbanisation. In Indonesia, Commuting activity does not only occur in the centre of metropolitan city Jakarta but spreads outside to the suburbs such as in Tangerang City. Commuting activities often cause stress, and some outdoor public spaces are expected to be healing space for recreation needs amidst a busy life. The lack of integration of urban design that supports commuting activities along with leisure activities is a problem that will be raised. This paper aims to evaluate the configuration of a potential location as the third space in Tangerang City infrastructure around bus stops and train station. Methods used are qualitative methods with a rationalistic approach. The research findings postulated three paradigms in Tactical Urbanism design strategy, which are: (1) Functionally, Tactical Urbanism can form a multipurpose proximity network that functions simultaneously between mobility and relaxation activities; (2) Socially, tactical urbanism design strategy can eliminate social segregation where there are no gaps to spend leisure time around Tangerang station for commuter, community, also tourist; (3) Visually, Tactical Urbanism can encourage people to come and sit for a while and become an icon of Tangerang City with the design of public open spaces integrated with infrastructure for transportation. Based on the above findings, a framework is conceptualised as an attempt to strengthen the tactical urbanism design strategy in the suburbs area.

Abstract:

Park is a green open space widely used by the community to carry out various activities ranging from recreation, playing, sports, and other passive activities. Current weather conditions are often uncertain. This makes people inconvenient when it rains suddenly, especially when outdoors such as in parks. Because if they don't immediately take shelter when it rains, it can make the body sick, besides that, rainwater can damage the non-waterproof gadgets they carry. In other conditions, when the weather is bright, and the sun is shining hot, it can make people feel hot and lazy to do outdoor activities in the park. Therefore, an automatic umbrella tool was made that functions as a shelter in the garden. In this tool, there is a light sensor module and also a rain sensor, which is controlled with the Arduino Uno microcontroller as an input data processor and an L298N motor driver, which functions to regulate the speed and direction of the DC motor rotation (to the right and left) as an umbrella drive. When the motor rotates to the right, the umbrella will open, while when the motor rotates to the left, the umbrella will close again.

Abstract:

Fear of violent crime and concern for personal safety are well documented fears among women (Bialeschki & Hicks, 1998; Wesley & Gaarder, 2004). Feminist theorists argue that concern for personal safety among women is one of the most significant ways in which women’s lives and their use of space is controlled and restricted (Bialeschki, 1999; Cops & Pleysier, 2011). Employing a feminist standpoint framework (Hill Collins, 2000), the purpose of this study was to qualitatively examine recreational female runners’ concerns for safety while running outdoors in an urban park setting and the strategies employed to negotiate or manage their concerns. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 20 female recreational runners. Interview data were analyzed following the procedures outlined by Corbin and Strauss (2007) for open and axial coding. The following themes emerged from the interview data: (a) fear of being attacked, (b) environmental and social cues, (c) normalization of street harassment, (d) negotiation strategies, and (e) recommendations for enhancing safety. The findings provide important information pertaining to women’s access to safe outdoor space in which to exercise. Perceptions of safety, fear of being attacked and experiences of harassment have the power to negatively influence women’s engagement and enjoyment in outdoor PA/exercise.

Abstract:

Purpose – The poor outdoor quality of highly populated third-world cities is a consequence of the misuse of public open spaces as refuse dumps and for informal trading activities. This describes the situation of Lagos metropolis before the present political will that has infused great landscaping transition into the cityscape. However, the challenges of maintenance are germane to the sustainability of these landscape products. The purpose of this paper is to assess the quality and characteristics of the landscapes that have undergone transition and to formulate a framework for maintenance strategies. Design/methodology/approach – The study objectively evaluates the physical qualities of 22 randomly selected sites that have undergone transition through on-site assessment and photographic recording. The management regimes were subjectively studied to appraise the level of their effectiveness and to guide future strategies. This was carried out by collecting the opinions of 130 selected government officials in charge of maintaining the spaces with the aid an interview guide. Findings – Analyses of the data revealed rich values of the landscapes and management strategies in favour of a public-private partnership. It recommends public open space transformation for recreational activities in cities as a vital means of enhancing urban living and city outlooks. Practical implications – The study concludes with formulation of sustainable management framework for the landscapes and argues in its favour. It thus has policy implications on the maintenance of urban open spaces that have undergone transition in Lagos and Nigeria at large. Originality/value – The study was carried out in May 2011. Its significance lies in its capacity of enhancing the quality of urban open spaces through appropriate policy formulation of management regimes.

Abstract:

The existence of an open space, is truly important to nowadays urban society. Because basically, community of a city has been bounded to open spaces around that city. The need of a thirdplace in a city, now, is way more than just a regular, it became a lifestyle. This thirdplace phenomena give impacts to the usage of outdoor spaces in the city which used to be indoor spaces, now became outdoor ones (public areas). What used to be a mall and a café that are favorites, now turning into outdoor spaces such as parks, streets (pedestrians), public spaces for children, recreation areas, and so on. Jakarta, especially in Palmerah, open spaces are very rarely found. In the other side, Palmerah used to be known for its batik, but now it’s already all gone. Batik as the main program that supports this thirdplace is expected to be able to accommodate the work or activities of local residents. Hold on to Ray Oldenburg’s theory about the third place criteria, batik in this design is intended as a medium for local residents to meet, greet, and interact. With this, batik media is able to accommodate the need of a thirdplace itself. However still, open spaces in this design has the largest percentage as public spaces for local residents to do some activities and interactions. Batik phases are realized in creating existing spaces; starting from seeing, then feeling, and finally doing. Batik produced by locals can be resold and later become their income. Plots of spaces, materials, wall tears, and batik carvings are also highlighted in this building to create characteristic of this Ambatik building. With Ambatik, all ages, all genders, all types of ethnicity, culture, and race, can be united without any difference.AbstrakKeberadaan ruang luar sangatlah penting bagi masyarakat kota saat ini. Pada dasarnya, masyarakat memiliki keterikatan pada ruang-ruang terbuka kota. Sekarang, Kebutuhan tempat ketiga di dalam suatu kota sudah lebih dari sekedar kebutuhan biasa, tetapi sudah menjadi gaya hidup. Fenomena tempat ketiga berdampak pada penggunaan ruang luar yang pada awalnya dari penggunaan ruang dalam, mulai beralih ke ruang luar (ruang publik). Yang semula mall dan kafe menjadi ruang favorit, sekarang beralih ke ruang luar publik seperti taman, jalan (pedestrian), RPTRA, tempat rekreasi dan sebagainya. Di Jakarta, tepatnya di Palmerah, ruang-ruang terbuka bagi warga sekitar sangatlah jarang ditemui. Di satu sisi, Palmerah yang dalam sejarah dikenal oleh batiknya, sekarang sudah menghilang. Ambatik hadir untuk menunjang tempat ketiga di kawasan Palmerah, yang diharapkan mampu mewadahi kegiatan ataupun aktivitas dari warga sekitar, sekaligus menghidupkan kembali identitas batik di Palmerah. Dengan teori Ray Oldenburg mengenai kriteria sebuah tempat ketiga, batik dalam rancangan ini dimaksudkan sebagai media bagi warga sekitar untuk bertemu, bersapa dan berinteraksi. Ruang-ruang terbuka dalam rancangan ini juga berguna sebagai ruang publik bagi warga sekitar untuk beraktivitas, berinteraksi untuk melakukan kegiatan seni dan budaya. Fase-fase batik juga diwujudkan dalam menciptakan ruang-ruang yang ada, mulai dari melihat, kemudian merasakan, dan melakukan. Dengan hadirnya Ambatik, diharap mampu meningkatkan relasi antar warga, pemahaman baru tentang batik, dan kesadaran akan tradisi.

Abstract:

The thesis deals with outdoor recreational opportunities within the urban environment of Jeddah. The lack of sufficient research on resource demand has persuaded the author to attempt to reach an understanding of the existing outdoor recreational and leisure facilities that have shaped the current provision, to determine present use and attitudes and their compatibility with the local culture and environment. The study argues that there is a relationship between various external influences which dominate the planning and design of outdoor recreational provision and users' satisfaction, attitudes, and their leisure behaviour. Despite the great demand for recreation, municipalities have made inadequate provision, which is not based on social or behavioural studies. That is without considering people's desires and needs. Factors such as culture and climate will influence the users' behaviour and their use of recreational opportunities which were disregarded in the planning and design process. Plans and concepts from foreign cultures were blindly used to shape outdoor recreational areas, which created problems such as privacy intrusion for women, and the failure to predict future behaviour. This research investigates how visitors use the space, their demands and what are the hidden social problems to be solved. The research involved a questionnaire, observation and a personal landscape architectural appraisal of Jeddah's Corniche in Jeddah in the summer of 1989. The questionnaire investigates visitors' needs, uses and problems of the recreational facilities. The open space observation explores the intensity of use, type of activity, type of user and their behaviour. The results confirmed the inadequacy of some recreational sites because they adhered to geometrical shapes which had neither integration, nor function, nor did they form adequate space articulation with appropriate shade and shelter. The overall layout causes people's dissatisfaction, especially when their women and children's privacy and safety were exposed to other eyes and physical contacts with traffic or the dangers of sea water. The study raised the need for the development of a strategy and guidelines to prevent future problems on leisure and recreation particularly with respect to local culture. Accordingly the data collected enabled the author to suggest that landscape architectural concepts must be adapted to the Saudi environment, which would seem to be most effective in satisfying existing demand for adequate patterns.

Abstract:

Shared residential outdoor space (ROS) is an important resource, especially in urban areas where outdoor space is limited. This study investigates how well shared ROS is used by residents. Data was collected from 129 developments and streets using a postal questionnaire. 346 different areas within the selected sites were measured using the Carto tool of EDINA’s Digimap. Different types of layout were identified; the area of residential outdoor space available per dwelling was calculated and the distance along a walking route to the nearest shop and public open spaces was measured for each area. Aerial and birds-eye view satellite photographs from www.bing.com were used to assess greenness and tree cover and to confirm the layout and era of the buildings. 1328 valid questionnaires were returned. These are considered in three sets: shared ROS only; individual ROS only and both shared and individual ROS. Respondents with only shared ROS available report significantly lower levels of usage than respondents in the other two sets. Variables that vary across the sets and with levels of usage are identified. These are investigated using a casebased, rather than a variable-based method, using fsQCA software developed by Ragin (2008). This enables sets of variables linked with high and low usage of shared ROS to be identified. The most influential attributes are: area of ROS per dwelling, number of households sharing the ROS, greenness, maximum floor level of the dwelling and concerns about noise and privacy. Six interviews and consideration of nine specific developments show that uncertainty about what is ‘allowed’ and concerns about not upsetting neighbours are also inhibitors to using shared ROS. Recommendations are made for improving how well shared residential outdoor spaces are used.

Physically and historically, Bangkok has been shaped by its relationship to its waterfront. Flowing 370 kilometers through Thailand, the Chao Phraya River is more than the nation's lifeline. It was a principal waterway that largely determined the expansion of this former agricultural city. With the advent of industrialization, the focus shifted to the establishment and consolidation of man made infrastructures such as roads and highways, leaving the waterfronts as large areas of underused land, deteriorated ports, warehouses, and informal settlements. With recent developments turning their backs onto the waterfront, the diminishing public exposure and access to the Chao Phraya River means it is quickly losing its historic role as an valuable asset and resource for the capital. This thesis proposes the establishment of a green network along the Chao Phraya River by opening up and developing selected underused areas, and connecting them with the new systematic water transportation. Open to the Public! presents a series of open space networks that offer new public areas to the city by (i) improving the river accessibility to reconnect it with the city, (ii) opening up and creating a new network of public recreational waterfronts that also addresses the existing flooding problem, and (iii) activating the use and access of the hidden Bangkrachao peninsula, a 14.4-million-square-meter jungle located just over two kilometers from the Bangkok Central Business District. As the ports and industrial zone are gradually being moved to new locations, this thesis aims to explore the plausibility of reconnecting this large preservation area back to Bangkok.

Abstract:

This dissertation interrogates the ways in which place-based belongings are constituted through outdoor recreation. By applying material-discursive theories of rhetoric to spaces of outdoor recreation on the Colorado Plateau such as the Arizona Snowbowl ski resort, rock climbing landscapes in the Navajo Nation, adventure mountain biking practices that trace a 19th century stagecoach route, and ultra running trails at Monument Valley on the Navajo Nation and on ancient trails that connect Hopi Villages, and elsewhere, I examine the affective relationships between those activities, landscapes, and cultures. Drawing on spatial and environmental rhetoric and critical theories of race, gender, and sexuality, I analyze affective investments in white settler colonialism to argue that such spaces are more than recreational. The framework I have developed to better explain such spaces, Recreational Colonialism, positions outdoor recreation as the new language of colonialism. Recreational Colonialism is both a discourse and a performance that-in many ways explored in this dissertation-connect outdoor recreational discourses to a trifecta of oppressions through which white settler colonialism depends: white supremacy, capitalism, and heteropatriarchy.

Abstract:

This chapter begins with detailing the argument of Peter S. Paine Jr. with Laurance S. Rockefeller, the younger brother and closest friend of New York State Governor Nelson Rockefeller. It presents Paine's criticisms on a proposal Laurance made to turn the core of the Adirondack State Park into a national park. Both Paine Jr. and Laurance Rockefeller considered themselves environmentalists. But neither man belonged to the Association for the Protection of the Adirondack (AfPA). The chapter states that the Rockefeller family directed its giving toward several long-term goals, and one of them was improving public access to parks and open space. It then shifts to outline how Rockefeller's bond acts became major steps forward for the environmental movement and paved the way for federal legislation like the Land and Water Conservation Fund (passed in 1965), the Clean Air Act of 1970, and the Clean Water Act of 1972. Ultimately, the chapter investigates how Laurence persuaded his brother, Nelson to appoint a task force to study the future of the Adirondacks, modeled on the Outdoor Recreation Resources Review Commission (ORRRC), and see if they could maximize the “effective acres” of the Adirondacks through other means.

Abstract:

In this text, nature is explored as a space for recognition, seen from an outdoor pedagogical perspective. Through guidance in outdoor living (friluftsliv) in small groups, a working form is presented that aims to inspire nature-friendly value orientation. This method of work is primarily known as an experience-based practice and is only partially articulated as a philosophical project. Inspired by Arne Johan Vetlesen’s demand for a paradigm shift in environmental ethics (Vetlesen, 2015), outdoor recreation pedagogical practice may be an answer to an interpretation of how “experiential ecocentric ethics” may be an alternative to exceeding the recognition of nature’s inherent value. Special qualities in the perception of place and space are central to understanding the uniqueness of outdoor living for the philosophical conversation. By analysing various characteristics of outdoor pedagogical practice, the value of this practice is discussed to develop a philosophical conversation. Finally, a proposal for virtues is presented to bridge the gap between philosophy, psychology and know-how.

Abstract:

The increasing adoption of mobile media in place-making and space-constructing practices as well as participatory culture open up new opportunities in marketing. This chapter approaches mobile location-based games as sites of brand experience, productive play, and value co-creation. It examines a mobile location-based game launched by The North Face (TNF) in China to increase its consumer base by shaping people's lifestyle aspirations. It offers insights into the use of mobile to engage more participants in the emerging market; the role of mobile as the central tool, platform, and the interface of hybrid spaces (de Souza e Silva, 2006) in the integrated campaign; and the value co-creation process by consumers for the brand. It also points to unintended consequences of the campaign, evidenced in consumers' deconstruction and reconstruction of the marketer-designed game process and their distortion of space. More generally, it reveals the importance of understanding the opportunities and challenges in addressing creative consumers in utilising mobile location-based game for marketing purposes.

Abstract:

At present, more than 50% of children live in big cities. But with the increasing number of motor vehicles and shrinking public spaces , children have less and less opportunities for outdoor activities, resulting in obesity and sub-health problems. Therefore, it is very important to build children-friendly public spaces in metropolis. This study takes the Shanghai,china as an example.Firstly,through questionnaires,it is found that ensuring the safe movement of children and inspiring their spontaneous activities are key points to build children-friendly public spaces. Meanwhile, The public spaces near the home are the most used environment by children. Therefore, open spaces in metropolis areas need to be planned carefully for children near their homes. Then it is way much better to make sure children's places of daily life, such as homes, schools, green spaces, sports venues and so on, can be connected in a safe path. Secondly, for building the safe path for children ,the safety of each spot along the path is analyzed by SP method, which is a mathematical algorithm , in order to find the risk factors and to avoid them in the future. Then we establish the action plan of "line space + point space" to build the children-friendly urban public space system. Line space refers to meeting the basic safety space needs of children through the improvement of the routes to school, including reducing the impact of motor vehicles, safe road facilities, and enhancing road lighting system. "Point space" refers to the promotion of children's outdoor activities through the arrangement of multi-level outdoor children's playgrounds and green spaces, including safe green parks, security platforms and so on. Finally, it is hoped that the "Safety Line Space + Interesting Point Space" plan will establish a safe and inspiring path for children to travel, linking home, school, green space and sports venues, which they use mostly in their daily life. Then we can ensure the safe movement of children and inspire children's spontaneous games in big cities for a children-friendly goal

Abstract:

The University College Cork (UCC) Open Arboretum Project aims to re-imagine the original purpose of the University’s tree collection – as a teaching tool. The arboretum represents a unique on-campus learning space which has been under-utilised for teaching in recent times. The arboretum has the capacity to engage students, staff and visitors in a tangible way with important global issues (e.g. the climate emergency and biodiversity loss). It is also an opportunity to combat ‘plant blindness’, i.e. the ambivalence shown to plants in our environment compared to often charismatic animal species. Wandersee and Schussler (1999) coined the term “plant blindness” to describe the preference for animals rather than plants that they saw in their own biology students. Knapp (2019) has argued that, in fact, humans are less ‘plant blind’ and more ‘everything-but-vertebrates-blind’ with school curricula and television programming over-emphasising the role of vertebrates at the expense of other groups of organisms. Botanic gardens and arboreta have long been used for educational purposes. Sellman and Bogner (2012) have shown that learning about climate change in a botanic garden led to a significant shortterm and long-term knowledge gain for high-school students compared to students who learned in a classroom setting. There is also evidence that learning outside as part of a science curriculum results in higher levels of overall motivation in the students and a greater feeling of competency (Dettweiler et al., 2017). The trees in the UCC collection, like other urban trees also provide a range of benefits outside of the educational sphere. Large, mature trees, with well-developed crowns and large leaf surface area have the capacity to store more carbon than smaller trees. They provide shade as well as food and habitats for animal species as well providing ‘symbolic, religious and historic’ value in public common spaces. Such benefits have recently been summarised by Cavender and Donnolly (2019) and aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 11, Sustainable Cities and Communities by Turner-Skoff and Cavender (2019). A stakeholder survey has been conducted to evaluate how the tree collection is currently used and a tour of the most significant trees in the collection has been developed. The tour encourages participants to explore the benefits of plants through many lenses including recreation, medicine and commemoration. The open arboretum project brings learning beyond the classroom and acts as an entry point for learning in a variety of disciplines, not least plant science and environmental education generally.

Abstract:

Urbanization provokes major modifications to the natural landscape. As the urban population reaches 60% of the world's population by 2030, this constant development, neglecting the planning and design of open spaces, negatively affects microclimate. This leads to local climate change, urban heat islands, and outdoor thermal discomfort. This paper is based on the recent studies of urban morphology and vegetation parameters affecting urban microclimate and outdoor thermal comfort in warm, humid cities in the past decade. Results revealed that three factors are of paramount importance and affect the thermal comfort level; urban space morphology, the orientation of elements and spaces, and vegetation. Therefore, Scenario developments for micrometeorological simulations should be processed considering the identified parameters of urban morphology and vegetation which are further categorized as parameters of geometry, density, configuration, and the physical properties of plants. However, the Configuration of urban vegetation that affects the thermal comfort of urban spaces has not received adequate attention in previous research yet. Thus, future research is needed considering the planting patterns, arrangement of various species, and planting orientations with prevailing wind conditions. By the end of this review, a theoretical framework is suggested as an approach to assess the impact of urban vegetation and morphology parameters on outdoor thermal comfort in warm, humid climates. The framework guides further research adopting more specific and comprehensive approaches of urban vegetation configuration with reference to specific urban morphologies to improve the local microclimate of cities, where the space for planting is critical. Keywords: urban vegetation, urban morphology, vegetation configuration, outdoor thermal comfort, warm humid cities, Climate change

Abstract:

An analytical and experimental study of hybrid ventilation is being carried out by Carnegie Mellon’s Center for Building Performance and Diagnostics in its Intelligent Workplace, the IW. Hybrid ventilation in this space will be carried out either operating a mechanical system, a SEMCO rev2250 desiccant wheel unit that distributes outside air conditioned, to a set temperature and humidity or alternatively opening windows when outdoor and indoor conditions are favorable, turning off the ventilation and the space cooling units. This hybrid ventilation approach will maintain a healthy, comfortable, and pleasant environment for the occupants of the IW and also will reduce the operating costs for the ventilation and cooling of the space. The key factor to the successful performance of a hybrid ventilation system is its operating procedures, the logical algorithms for opening and closing windows based on measurements of outdoor and indoor conditions: temperatures, humidity, wind velocity, rain, occupancy, etc. Algorithms have been proposed for operating the windows in the IW’s hybrid ventilation system. These algorithms have been programmed in a Trnsys model of IW with its windows and its mechanical ventilation and cooling units. This model has been exercised for an operating period including the spring, summer, and fall seasons in Pittsburgh to establish how much time the windows remain open and what savings in operating energy for the IW’s mechanical ventilation and cooling system are achieved. This modeling study evaluates the benefits of a hybrid ventilation system compared to a base case where mechanical ventilation is used. About 8% of the ventilation and cooling energy is saved. At this time a hybrid ventilation system, its hardware equipment and software controls, has been installed in the IW. Measurements are being made to establish that healthy, comfortable conditions are maintained in the IW and that model estimates of energy savings are confirmed. In future work, guides lines will be written to inform building professionals, architects and engineers, about hybrid ventilation and its benefits in the design of buildings across the United States.

Abstract:

Historically, Hot cities around India have always relied on urban public spaces for its sociocultural as well as economic activities. They showed a greater capacity to adopt and sustain over time. The reason seems to be lying under its tendency to evolve and accommodate temporality and sustain with its constancy. These urban public spaces were strongly bonded with religions and customs rooted in nature and inbuilt into societal norms, there by emphasizing greater ecological consciousness and protection. But in the last century, globalization brought aesthetic & grand spectacle as deciding criteria for planning and designing of the urban public spaces. The result is, energy consuming, deserted, inaccessible and underutilized public spaces over a longer period as opposed to its short-lived fame. Urbanization has given rise to the new narrative for these urban public spaces which evolved in to hybrid versions conceptualized from global practices. This pose a threat in terms of loss of civic life and decreasing social cultural flows in the city. Cities with the highest temperature seems to be getting the worst of it, essentially due to two main reasons. First are the adopted global models being not responsive to the local context, failing to stay active over longer periods of time and second due to failure to reconceptualize our traditional practices and local knowledge associated with development of cities in to ongoing practices. Previous study of historic Indian public spaces in hot cities, highlights their nature as being symbolic, functionalist, political, performative, and cultural and hence proving to be contextually sensitive. These urban public spaces were designed to be a platform extension of their everyday outdoor life. This everyday outdoor life in hot cities have taken a shape in to various manifestation of forms. And emphasized more on organic development of public spaces. Now, the current system in India that is responsible for generating our urban public spaces are regulated and mandated by state and local guidelines such as, URDPFI guidelines etc. which only mentions about open spaces to be left per area per person or in terms of percentage or buildable area. Little to no consideration has been given to how that open space should be treated. The solution can be found in adaptation and reconceptualizing of these local knowledge and traditional practices suitable to today's spatial context. But a greater consideration needs to be given to the modern-day applicability and checking its suitability. With that consideration, the paper will try to analysis selective samples of urban public spaces before the industrialization in the hot cities depending upon the generic public places i.e., Access and linkage, Purpose and activities, comfort and image, sociability, (Project for public spaces), adaptability, Thermal comfort, User responsiveness. The results then will be tested to check its adaptability in present day context with the help of case study.

Abstract:

This report summarizes the primary output of this project, a book of COVID-era street reconfiguration case studies called Rethinking Streets During COVID-19: An Evidence-Based Guide to 25 Quick Redesigns for Physical Distancing, Public Use, and Spatial Equity. COVID-era needs have accelerated the process that many communities use to make street transformations due to: a need to remain physically distanced from others outside our immediate household; a need for more outdoor space close to home in every part of every community to access and enjoy; a need for more space to provide efficient mobility for essential workers in particular; and a need for more space for local businesses as they try to remain open safely. This project is the third in a series of NITC-supported case study books on best practices in street reconfigurations for more active, sustainable, and in this case, COVID-supportive uses. The full, 154-page book is available for free download from the National Institute for Transportation and Communities (NITC).
