The commonly held belief is that indicators provide residents, governments, private entities, and community groups with the information they need to make "wise choices."

Abstract:

In recent times urban flooding has become more frequent and more complex due to the effects of increasing urban areas and climate change. In some established urban areas the existing drainage infrastructure is unable to cope with the volume of surface runoff and flooding events are more frequent, therefore new approaches to create more space for water within developments are required. This research was conceived in that context. It aims to investigate the potential for integrating green space planning with water planning and to develop a framework for the same in order to reduce the risk of fl

The challenges of urban mobility demand a new way of thinking and of managing the displacement of goods and people in Brazilian cities.

Abstract:

The idea that planners should work toward an equitable society has been part of the profession since the 1960s, largely based on the work of planning theorists like Paul Davidoff, Sherry Arnstein and Norman Krumholz. Transportation planning, however, has been slower than other sectors of the profession, such as housing, to embrace equity planning concepts. That has begun to change as concerns about income inequality, environmental justice and climate change have become more salient.

Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2004.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Recently there has been growing interest in evaluating the performance and outcomes of spatial planning policies worldwide. In response to this a research was carried out to evaluate and monitor the effectiveness of spatial planning policies in the Cape Metropolitan Area (CMA). The Planning Indicators Model (PIM), which consists of a set of twenty-six indicators, was applied to monitor and measure the extent to which the Metropolitan Spatial Development Framework (MSDF) has affected land use and physical development in t

Purpose: The aim with this paper is to see how a city can be developed using a theory for nearby station location, which is a theory for urban planning, originally from Copenhagen, to create a more attractive city and public transport system in the village Skillingaryd, 40 kilometers south of Jönköping in Småland. To obtain the aim of the paper has the asked questions contained which factors from this theory that is relevant for smaller villages, which problems and possibilities are found in Skillingaryd if you want to increase the attractiveness of the village through urban planning, and also

Abstract:

The burning of biomass for cooking purposes without proper ventilation and filters poses a massive health and climate risk. Health implications from exposure to household air pollution from this type of fuel impacts women and children in many developing countries, who spend many hours a day cooking and gathering fuel. Climate implications from burning solid biomass results in increased carbon dioxide and black carbon emissions, which contribute to global climate change. This thesis aims to explore the issues associated with biomass cookstoves in terms of both health and climate, and seeks to u

Abstract:

It is now common for managers, strategists, planners and citizens at municipality level to use sustainable development indicators (SDI) to help them work towards sustainable development. SDI constitute an information system for monitoring, reporting and decision-making which in theory should help us decide how to intervene in natural, economic, social and political systems for a better, more sustainable future. But not all indicator systems are created equal. Some are better tools than others when it comes to helping cities and municipalities in their work, and thousands of municipalities use

On the base of the analyses there were spatial indicators of the sustainable development designed. The basic condition to design new indicators it was the accessibility to the elementary datas. The other condition was to design very simply methodology that could be use also for measuring in very small location. The thesis designed idnicators in three main areas of the spatial planning: • landuse, • accessibility of the services, • inner city/town/village traffic. One of the demands f

Au cours du temps, les documents de planification urbaine français ont vu leurs objectifs évoluer en vue d’une gestion plus maîtrisée des espaces urbanisés (lois SRU et Grenelle). Aussi, la question de la protection de l’environnement et des espaces a été renforcée par la législation européenne qui a obligé certains documents d’urbanisme à intégrer une évaluation environnementale (en 2001 pour l’Europe, applicable en France en 2005).
