This study investigates the influence of urban green landscapes on the Quality of Life (QoL) in Kaduna Metropolis, Nigeria, focusing on residents' perceptions and sustainable urban development strategies. Conducted from May to July 2023, the quantitative research surveyed 377 residents using a questionnaire. Statistical analysis, including correlation and t-tests, was performed using SPSS version 23. Findings reveal a positive perception of urban green spaces, significantly contributing to residents' QoL. Key results include high satisfaction with green areas enhancing environmental beauty (Mean=4.88, SD=0.90) and providing recreational appeal (Mean=4.45, SD=0.95). Additionally, these areas significantly impact perceived value (Mean=4.78, SD=0.93), prestige (Mean=4.92, SD=8.18), and attachment to the environment (Mean=4.71, SD=0.831). Residents with accessible and functional green spaces express higher satisfaction levels (Cronbach’s Alpha > 0.9). The study underscores the importance of urban greenery in improving urban living conditions and offers strategic recommendations for sustainable urban planning. Addressing a gap in literature, this research provides empirical insights into residents' perspectives within Kaduna Metropolis, contributing to academic discourse and practical urban development approaches.

Over the past several years, the constant flooding events and their lethal consequences have reignited the debate on the need for vulnerability assessment of flood-prone communities in urban areas as a flood risk mitigation and adaptation measure. This article focuses on Ghana and uses remotely sensed high-resolution data, and community mapping to assess the flood vulnerability of 442 urban communities of the Greater Kumasi Metropolitan Area (GKMA). The Compound Topographic Index and the Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission were used systematically. The results showed that 43% of communities were found in low-risk areas, 30% were in medium-risk areas, and 27% were in high-risk areas. Flood intensity and frequencies were found to be dependent on location relative to slopes and undulating terrain. We argue that the identified flood hazard communities should guide policymakers in proffering specific and targeted interventions toward flood risk reduction and community resilience strategies

Indonesia has a distinctive array of architectural styles. Architecture that is rooted in regionalism offers a platform for the revival of traditional design elements in modern structures. One of North Sumatra's first private campuses is that of Medan Area University. The architecture and culture in this region are extremely varied. There is no prevailing architectural style like there is in Riau, West Sumatra, or Java. This campus uses conventional architecture in its construction as it is a university with an architectural study program. The scope of the use of regional architecture on a multicultural campus environment is investigated in this study. Several regional architectural applications have been made using the technique of observation and research of traditional architectural theories of the tribes living in North Sumatra.

Food security means access to food along with food production and availability to every individual at a reasonable cost according to the calorific needs of people. To assure food safety to 30 million Nepali people, it is essential to utilize every piece of available farmable land in each geographic region of seven provinces. We analyzed individual household food intake, dietary energy adequacy, and nutritional status and needs at the ward level of Nepal. We used a decadal (2010-2020) average food production of different crops per unit of farmable area, and food needs for people living in that ward based on their gender and nutritional requirements to perform various activities in different geographic regions of seven provinces. We assumed three food consumption scenarios: a) traditional practices of meeting dietary needs only from major crops; b) consuming major and minor crops; and c) consuming major and minor crops and meat and fruit products. Our analysis revealed that it is essential for Nepal to implement policies that will encourage crop diversification comprising both major and minor crops and inform the public about the nutritional values of various crops that can be grown utilizing location-specific environments in different geographic regions of seven provinces. Our findings assist in policy instrumentation that will pursue farming communities to supplement their dietary needs with diverse crop products and suggest government set aside some matching funds to encourage remitters, who return to Nepal with knowledge and financial resources, to engage in agriculture. We also argue that crop diversification is needed to assure farm productivity if certain crops fail due to unforeseen environmental calamities.

An increasing number of real estate actors appear to be searching for ways to incorporate nature and biodiversity in urban development projects. In this article, we study three Dutch urban development projects with high biodiversity ambitions in order to learn how they came to fruition. We combine transition theory with practice theory and identify key barriers and drivers on the basis of these approaches. We highlight that incorporating biodiversity in urban development projects requires considerable knowledge development, implies a higher entrepreneurial risk and asks for various pragmatic solutions to overcome barriers. We identify four key recommendations for promoting nature-inclusive urban development: (1) facilitate knowledge development and exchange; (2) incorporate and reward biodiversity in environmental certification schemes and tender criteria; (3) translate a strategic vision on biodiversity into concrete regulations to bridge the policy implementation gap; (4) stimulate the uptake of nature-inclusive urban development in corporate visions.

  In the city of Messina, the multiplicity of vulnerable situations is a distinctive feature and is representative of the pervasiveness of the risk conditions present in the Italian territory. The critical residential tissues are part of an extended geography in which, to the conditions of seismic and hydro geomorphological vulnerability, are added additional criticalities including altered natural resources, abandoned infrastructure, brownfields, quarries, and unregulated landfills, etc. Despite this, for Messina, there is still no urban planning tool capable of interpreting in an integrated way the risks present, which instead continue to be addressed on an emergency basis and individually, without considering the interactions that are generated and of further damage. For these reasons, Messina was chosen as a prototypical case study, at the national level, to start an experimentation aimed at developing an urban planning tool capable of a new integrated approach to risk interpretation and management. In this process, a decisive role was aimed at building an updated knowledge of the territory through the identification of widespread critical conditions using multiple GIS tools and thanks to the interaction of some analytical-specialist readings from different sources. The results of this process are represented in a system of maps that are strongly integrated with each other and constitute a working document for the interdisciplinary group drafting the General Urban Plan.

Water is a symbol of life. Along with air and food, water is a basic existential need. These facts begin to act more strongly on people's opinion and behavior only when he faced with water supply problems. The question is, how to produce more food in these times of growing need for it, while water resources are limited. The Republic of Serbia has a very significant water capacity. Estimation shows that renewable freshwater resources in Serbia are round 55877.93 million of m 3 /per year (Eurostat, 2020). However, water consumption in Serbia is constantly growing, while population is slightly decreasing, which arise the need for time series analysis of water consumption as a tool for future forecast of water consumption.

In urban renewal processes, metro line systems are widely used to accommodate the massive traffic needs and stimulate the redevelopment of the local area. The route choice of pedestrians, emanating from or going to the metro stations, is influenced by the street-scale built environment. Many renewal processes involve the improvement of the street-level built environment and thus influence pedestrian flows. To assess the effects of urban design on pedestrian flows, this article presents the results of a simulation model of pedestrian route choice behavior around Yingkoudao metro station in the city center of Tianjin, China. Simulated pedestrian flows based on 4 scenarios of changes in street-scale built environment characteristics are compared. Results indicate that the main streets are disproportionally more affected than smaller streets. The promotion of an intensified land use mix does not lead to a high increase in the number of pedestrians who choose the involved route when traveling from/to the metro station, assuming fixed destination choice.

Food price hikes globally re-energised investment in innovative strategies of food production including urban and peri-urban agriculture. Unfortunately, uncontrolled urbanisation have impacted gravely on food production in peri-urban areas in developing countries. This study was conducted in the Wa Municipalityto examine how peri-urban agricultural land use change impact on food security of farmers. A mixed methods study of inquiry with 235 smallholder farmers were used for the study. Questionnaires, interviews and historical information captured using the Geographic Information System (GIS) were used to collect the data. The results revealed that, hectares of agricultural land in peri-urban Wa over the last three decades has drastically lost its space to urban development through residentuial and infrastructural development. The study also found that agricultural land use change has resulted in food insecurity as the majority of the smallholder farmers were unable to meet their food needs over the last decade. The practical and policy implication of the study are discussed.

For decades, numerous countries have been witnessing the Street Children phenomenon where millions of children worldwide are subjected to risks. Despite the crucial role of intermediate non-residential interventions - using drop-in centers- in protecting and rehabilitating street children, there is a paucity of research addressing the quality of design of these centers and how architecture might influence their operational process. Those observations invite investigating drop-in centers used in practice from a design perspective and question adapting architectural applications for humanitarian emergencies, focusing on “Child-Friendly Spaces”. The study aims to provide solutions for better quality design, facilitating operational challenges. The methodology undertakes the investigation through primary and secondary axes. This involves conducting literature and international precedents review and secondarily, an Egyptian contextual first-hand documentation and qualitative analysis of selected centers.

In this essay, I highlight a critical, if under-examined, dialectic between dominant urbanism and Black queer urbanism. First, I demonstrate the ways that dominant urbanists drew on a sedimented historical imaginary of the slum as a racialized site of debilitation and death in their articulation of and support for new urban infrastructures designed to support long-term stability through capitalist growth. Anti-blackness formed a fundamental aspect of the syntax and grammar of urban renewal and redevelopment. Next, I examine the efforts of the adherents of Father Divine’s Peace Mission Movement to build a world centered in spiritually appropriated, communal architectures wherein their disruptive forms of social-geographic life challenged heteronormative futurity and segregation through the haptic politics of touch and what I term ecstatic consecration.

This text investigates the problem of social housing in Bogota within the framework of partial urban renewal plans in downtown Bogota, these as from of densification, revival and redevelopment in areas that have some type of loss either functional, or by urban obsolescence, these in interaction with the proposed urban norms for the city, as well as the disposition of urban uses and activities, as opposed to the tensions that are analyzed for their concretion due to the form of production and with This assesses the level of scope that this form of urban geographic space production has. This text investigates the problem of social housing in Bogota within the framework of partial urban renewal plans in downtown Bogota. For such consideration, an analysis is proposed from the tensions and conflicts that occur in the development of the “Estacion Central” and “Triangulo de Fenicia” projects from a critical perspective, which examines the spatial production of the area from a multivariate approach that allows observing the shape uneven in the construction of geographic space, as well as observing the scope and limitations of urban interventions in the sector.

One of the most important issues in the cities is their overgrowth into metropolises. This increasing growth can often be associated with many environmental, socio-cultural, and economic-political effects and consequences. One of the most effective approaches to deal with this issue would be "urban growth management". Over the past few decades, Urban Growth Management (UGM) as a practical strategy has tried through some approaches, policies, and plans to guide the metropolitan growth process in a more sustainable and smart direction. One of the most important and practical models in quantitative estimation of urban growth conditions has been the "Smart Growth Index" (SGI) which has used a variety of techniques, including the "4D" technique. With reference to such a theoretical and technical background, this article has analyzed the metropolis of Tehran based on some smart growth indexes and in the framework of the urban growth management approach. The results obtained in this article have shown that a positive intervention in the condition of density, diversity, design, and accessibility in land use-transportation interactions can have a significant effect on the vehicle miles traveled (VMT), and thus reduce the mobilities and controlling urban growth in Tehran mega-polis region.

Este estudo, de natureza teórico/metodológica qualitativa e bibliográfica, objetiva tecer uma discussão crítica acerca das vivências/experiências de pessoas negras no turismo, tendo como elementos teóricos balizadores centrais os construtos de tecnologia de Andrew Feenberg e o conceito de racismo cotidiano, teorizado por Philomena Essed. Para corroborar com o objetivo central deste artigo e seus argumentos teóricos, buscou-se uma empresa brasileira online de acomodações/hospedagens compartilhadas, voltada especialmente às pessoas negras viajantes. Destarte, foram transcritos três fragmentos de relatos de pessoas negras à empresa analisada, uma vez que estas pessoas vivenciaram situações de discriminação misóginas e/ou racistas ao experienciarem o turismo, seja como visitantes ou anfitriões de hospedagens. Por fim, se buscam possibilidades democráticas e não maniqueístas para responder à pergunta título deste artigo: é possível um outro turismo?

Sragen Regency can be divided into two areas based on its tiphologycal feature, that are the north and south part area of Bengawan Solo River. Those area not only have a different kind of soil based on tiphology but also have different degree of economic growth. The goals of this paper are to define which part of the Sragen Regency that has a high and low economic growth and what kind of policies that match with the problems of those areas. The method used in this paper is dividing the area of Sragen Regency into four part based on spatial feature and the economic growth. The result are, the area that have a high growth mostly located in south part of Bengawan solo and the area that have a low growth mostly located in north parth of Bengawan Solo. The policies for the low growth areas is driven to strengthen the main sector and to develop another promising sector that can be used to increase society income. While, the policies for the high growth areas mainly driven to find an indigenous product that can be used to determined the identity of the whole region, and also to make the final output resulted from the areas having a competitive ability against another region in the Central Java Province.

All democracies have developed methods that help the country successfully implement the financial institution of the budget. Among the key factors are balanced and transparent budget accountability to the public and the obligation to submit bills, management control, which they have recently called risk management and external auditing.
