The Novel Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused societal changes, including in terms of work from home (WFH). Since January 2020 in Thailand, several companies have shifted from office workplaces to full-scale or temporary WFH for white-collar employees who achieve professional tasks remotely. Insofar as worker time spent indoors has increased, what is the overall residential satisfaction under WFH during the COVID-19 pandemic? The objective of this research was to investigate overall residential satisfaction predictors for housing, neighborhood, and relevant variables of WFH characteristics pertinent to the COVID-19 pandemic. Data was collected by online and onsite questionnaires from 293 respondents, all white-collar employees who inhabit landed houses. This study is analyzed with multiple linear regression and mean comparison with independent-samples t-test, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results predicting overall residential satisfaction comprised eight vital predictors: 1) neighborhood appearance; 2) house size; 3) ventilation; 4) privacy; 5) comfort without air conditioning; 6) distance from healthcare centers; 7) domestic design, and 8) neighborhood cleanliness, at a significance level of p<0.05. Higher overall residential satisfaction levels were observed to be significant in terms of inhabiting a housing estate & single-detached house, number of WFH days, private workroom, house size, and newness of house.

Colombo is a spontaneously developed city with high rates of traffic accidents. Although laws and regulations emphasize safety measures, the number of traffic injuries remains high, while fatality rate increases. Therefore, designing streets to spontaneously prevent users from accidents despite recklessness is vital, and street design phase becomes important in urban development. So far, urban planning in Sri Lanka has been merely based on expert knowledge, and user perspective remains unknown. Stakeholder discussions confirm the need for one comprehensive street design standard other than the existing laws on selective aspects and structural specifications. Foremost it is essential to understand the expert and user perspectives on the prominence of various components of streets in determining user safety and comfort, and thus becomes the aim of this research. Urban street components that determine physical safety and comfort are summarized through a literature review, and case study. The quantitative research method involves obtaining a comparative score on the priority of identified components in determining physical safety and comfort by the public and experts through online surveys, and conducting descriptive statistical analysis based on means of the scores to identify the hierarchy of priority by the two groups. Accordingly, components are categorized as mandatory to ensure physical safety and comfort, enhance physical safety and comfort when present, and affect physical safety and comfort when present. This outcome contributes to the sustainable future development of Sri Lankan urban streets by incorporating in design policy development and methodology and sets an example to incorporate expert and public opinions in other contexts.

This empirical study identifies the characteristics and roles that regulate the collaborative policy network for handling the urban slum settlements in Pekanbaru. The method used in this study is quantitative methods through semi-structured surveys. Questionnaires were utilised to produce the indicators related to the structure of relationships and roles between the leading figures that were graphically depicted through social network analysis and have been confirmed in every stage of the program through centrality analysis. The results indicate that the collaborative policy network on handling the urban slum settlements leads to the formation of public and community figures. The number of figures is relatively stable, and the pattern of relationships among the figures shows the complex dynamics. However, along the progressed program, the distance and density of relationships among the figures at each stage keep decreasing. Receiving and mediating information and resources is centralised to local government. Local government emerged as a community figure that plays an essential role in the network. It indicates the importance of equal distribution of resources and information to maintain the stability of relations and distances among public figures.

What are the impacts of the sacred and spirituality on the architectural design of the Zawiyas? Raised under the influence of Sufism, the zawiya is adopted by brotherhoods at the beginning of their propagation on the lands, in order to honour the memory of a patron saint and preserve the Muslim worship. Considered as a religious institution dedicated to Koranic education and affiliated with a brotherhood, which it is often named after, the Zawiya is frequently designed with reference to the spiritual foundations that it is meant to represent. Today, with the embracing of new socio-cultural and ideological references and the various economic mutations due to state intervention, the zawiyas have lost much of their previously enjoyed notoriety and religious power. Yet, some zawiyas of south-western Algeria have kept some prominence and are still vectors of social practices connected with religious education, despite the ruin-form condition of the ksour. Our hypothesis is that the architectural design of the buildings that make up the Zawiya was not only the product of technical or rational knowledge. We think that the designers would have used a know-how that was devoted to the sacred, to spirituality and Islamic Sufism. In order to verify the validity of our theory, we conducted our study in the zawiya Ziyania in Kenadsa. The analysis process draws mainly on the method of in-situ observation as an important tool to collect the crucial data relevant to the morphological study to find out how this spirituality shaped the material construction of its different buildings.

The present study focuses on the development of the geodesign-based process for supporting site-level planning in hill regions. It provides a rational and quantitative approach to ensure sustainable development of hill regions. The process developed has three cycles which revolve around the five common core steps. In the first cycle, factors influencing site-level planning are identified and data corresponding to these factors are acquired. In the second cycle, methods for analysing the data acquired are finalized. Finally, in the third cycle, the methods finalized are executed to provide solution for site-level planning. The geographic information system (GIS)-based working model was developed for the automation of the developed process. The developed working model includes various GIS-based tools for spatial and overlay analysis, reclassification, and digitization to derive alternate scenarios. The process was implemented for its validation in the planning of the new institutional campus and identification of locations required for additional built-up spaces in an existing campus. The planning solution of the new institutional campus derived from the developed process has 10 % additional green area and conserved forest, 30% less surface runoff, and 11% more solar irradiance. The implementation results established that the planning decisions taken using the developed process were contextually more appropriate in conserving the sensitive ecosystem of the site under consideration.

This study examines the causal effect of the Sei Mangkei Special Economic Zone (SEZ) on the economic growth of Simalungun Regency, North Sumatera using the Synthetic Control Method (SCM). This study uses macro data at the district/city level in Indonesia. The counterfactual in this study was built using a synthetic control unit derived from data from 290 regencies/cities in Indonesia from 2006 to 2020. The results of the analysis conclude that the existence of the Sei Mangkei SEZ has not yet had an economic impact on the economic growth of Simalungun Regency. This finding contrasts with most previous studies which have found that SEZs positively impact the economic growth of the host region. The Sei Mangkei SEZ has not yet had an impact because currently, the utilisation of land and the search for new business actors who are expected to invest in the Sei Mangkei SEZ are still below the target.

Despite the potential public health risks of coronavirus disease, vulnerable populations may be at a greater risk than others owing to their occupational, social, economic, and living conditions. The present study aimed to investigate the experiences of senior managers on how local government procedures prevent COVID-19 from spreading within the group in Tehran's municipality. This is descriptive qualitative research. Data were collected through in-depth face-to-face semi-structured interviews, between October to January 2021. Accordingly, twenty-four senior managers with experience in urban planning and disaster were purposively enrolled. A manual qualitative content analytical approach was used to identify and classify codes. According to the results, a total of 15 sub-themes under six main themes were obtained. They included dealing with (1) Getting behind in basic needs, (2) A Thin-Skinned Vaccination Campaign, (3) Health Service Provision, (4) Performance Assessment, (5) Developing Infrastructure and (6) lighting a Candle for Future Pandemics. This study used senior managers' experiences to reveal the necessity of developing a vulnerable protection plan and allocating funds away from the bureaucracy as an efficient management tool for policymakers to prepare inclusive policies before emergencies and act through during disasters.

One of the fundamental indicators for evaluating visual continuity in the preservation of historical landscapes is the visual experience gained through sequential views in urban space. Controlling the valuable visual qualities is essential to maintain the precious sequential view of the historical landscape. The visual perspective of pedestrians and the wayfinding roles of urban landmarks are central issues in the visual experience of historical cities. The evaluation of visibility analysis is performed using the scene-capturing method via photographic survey. This method is combined with 2D isovist and 3D viewshed analysis as a computational approach applied to five historical landmarks in Malang, Indonesia. The scene-capturing methodology examines the sequential view series of each landmark from various approaching paths by extracting the landmark's silhouette and segmenting the visibly distinct areas of the scene. Subsequently, 2D isovist and 3D viewshed analyses investigate the pattern of the visual field spectrum along each route. As a result, the best visibility rate at the closest observation distance is achieved by the Frateran School Building at 9.58%, while the best visibility at the farthest observation distance is observed at the Kayutangan Church Building at 0.97%. The range of observation distances with a significant percentage of visual sightings is from 75m - 100m, with the closest observation distance ranging from 50 - 75 meters. Combining sequential photo mapping and isovist analysis provides a powerful tool for managing and enhancing the visual experience, which can inform decisions on urban planning, architectural design, and historical preservation.

This method is combined with 2D isovist and 3D viewshed analysis as a computational approach applied to five historical landmarks in Malang, Indonesia. The scene-capturing methodology examines the sequential view series of each landmark from various approaching paths by extracting the landmark's silhouette and segmenting the visibly distinct areas of the scene. Subsequently, 2D isovist and 3D viewshed analyses investigate the pattern of the visual field spectrum along each route. As a result, the best visibility rate at the closest observation distance is achieved by the Frateran School Building at 9.58%, while the best visibility at the farthest observation distance is observed at the Kayutangan Church Building at 0.97%. The range of observation distances with a significant percentage of visual sightings is from 75m - 100m, with the closest observation distance ranging from 50 - 75 meters. Combining sequential photo mapping and isovist analysis provides a powerful tool for managing and enhancing the visual experience, which can inform decisions on urban planning, architectural design, and historical preservation.","PeriodicalId":44501,"journal":{"name":"International Review for Spatial Planning and Sustainable Development","volume":"56 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136184626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
