Urban parks are an essential component of city infrastructure providing multiple ecosystem services. While there are many studies exploring the usage of urban parks within a country, cross-country comparisons are rare. Comparative studies of use–diversity of urban parks between developing and developed countries are almost absent. To address this research gap, we have compared use–diversity of two major urban parks in China (Dufu Cottage in Chengdu—DC) and in Australia (Kings Park in Perth—KP). Using a post-occupancy survey questionnaire, we addressed two key questions: (a) is there any difference in use–diversity between these urban parks? And (b) which demographic and socio-economic factors influence use pattern of urban parks the most? We observed that, in general, use frequency is lower in DC when compared to KP. In both parks, the opportunity of physical activity is the most important motive for visitation. Most of the usage is concentrated during the weekends in DC; KP was used more consistently throughout the week. Various socio-demographic factors, such as gender, age, income level and frequency of visits, have some influence on frequency and diversity of usage. The impact of socio-demographic factors on the extent of use highlights the importance of understanding users’ profiles to adopt more targeted measures to address local demands. The study identified some common patterns and differences in use–diversity between the two parks, underscoring the potential for managers of these parks in both countries, for mutual learning and adopting best management practices.
城市公园是城市基础设施的重要组成部分,提供多种生态系统服务。虽然有许多研究探讨了一个国家内城市公园的使用情况,但跨国比较很少。对发展中国家和发达国家城市公园利用多样性的比较研究几乎没有。为了解决这一研究空白,我们比较了中国(成都- dc的杜甫小屋)和澳大利亚(珀斯- kp的国王公园)两个主要城市公园的使用多样性。通过使用后调查问卷,我们回答了两个关键问题:(a)这些城市公园之间的使用多样性是否存在差异?(b)哪些人口和社会经济因素对城市公园的使用模式影响最大?我们观察到,一般来说,与KP相比,DC的使用频率更低。在这两个公园里,体育活动的机会是游客最重要的动机。大部分的使用集中在华盛顿特区的周末;在整个星期中,KP的使用更加一致。各种社会人口因素,如性别、年龄、收入水平和访问频率,对使用频率和多样性有一定影响。社会人口因素对使用程度的影响突出了了解用户概况的重要性,以便采取更有针对性的措施来满足当地需求。这项研究确定了两个公园在使用多样性方面的一些共同模式和差异,强调了两国这些公园的管理人员相互学习和采用最佳管理做法的潜力。

Urban lakes play an important role ecologically and socio-economically but are at great risk due to anthropogenic pressures. The study aimed to analyse the effects of land use and land cover change-induced lake ecosystem degradation in three urban lakes in Sri Lanka using a multi-faceted approach including: (a) satellite remote sensing, (b) geographic information system analysis and (c) a causal framework. A holistic cause–effect human–environment interaction framework (DAPSI(W)R(M)) was applied for the first time in Sri Lanka to identify measures to protect urban lake ecosystems sustainably. Results show that there was significant urban expansion during the study period with the Thalangama Lake being the most impacted regardless of its environmental protected status. Short-term mitigatory measures were proposed to reduce lake degradation, which include control of invasive species, treatment of polluted water, nutrient load monitoring and riparian buffer expansion. Sustainable city planning through the application of site-specific control measures on different scales is envisioned as a long-term solution.
城市湖泊在生态和社会经济方面发挥着重要作用,但由于人为压力,城市湖泊面临着巨大的风险。该研究旨在利用多方面的方法分析斯里兰卡三个城市湖泊土地利用和土地覆盖变化引起的湖泊生态系统退化的影响,包括:(a)卫星遥感,(b)地理信息系统分析和(c)因果框架。在斯里兰卡首次应用人-环境整体因果互动框架(DAPSI(W)R(M))确定可持续保护城市湖泊生态系统的措施。结果表明:无论环境保护状况如何,研究期间城市扩张显著,其中塔兰加玛湖受影响最大;提出了控制入侵物种、污染水体治理、养分负荷监测和扩大河岸缓冲带等短期缓解措施。通过在不同尺度上应用特定地点的控制措施来实现可持续的城市规划是一种长期的解决方案。

Climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of disasters. Low-income households living in low- and middle-income countries are most vulnerable to the effects of disasters. While efforts have increased for better disaster management since the adoption of the Sendai framework adopted at the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction in Japan in 2015 by 187 countries, the success rate of post-disaster reconstruction and rehabilitation has been debatable for disaster affected persons. The purpose of this article (which is the first part of our research on approach to post disaster reconstruction) is to propose a framework based on capability approach to understand the determinants of well-being that need to be restored for disaster affected persons. The second part will present results from application of this framework to examine the post-disaster reconstruction of affected persons in Chennai (India). Resettlement is a complex issue, and it requires a balance between protecting lives and livelihoods of those affected, as these are tied to a location, and protecting them from future disasters, the occurrence of which is also tied to a location. The article argues that a capabilities-based approach that aligns with sustainable development goals could provide a framework to identify components of a post-disaster management plan to satisfactorily rebuild the well-being of affected persons.
气候变化增加了灾害发生的频率和强度。生活在低收入和中等收入国家的低收入家庭最容易受到灾害的影响。自2015年在日本举行的第三届联合国世界减少灾害风险大会通过仙台框架以来,187个国家在加强灾害管理方面做出了更多努力,但灾后重建和恢复的成功率对受灾人员来说一直存在争议。本文的目的(这是我们对灾后重建方法研究的第一部分)是提出一个基于能力方法的框架,以了解受灾人员需要恢复的福祉决定因素。第二部分将介绍应用这一框架审查金奈(印度)受灾人员灾后重建的结果。重新安置是一个复杂的问题,它需要在保护受影响者的生命和生计之间取得平衡,因为这些与地点有关,并保护他们免受未来灾害的影响,灾害的发生也与地点有关。这篇文章认为,与可持续发展目标相一致的基于能力的方法可以提供一个框架,以确定灾后管理计划的组成部分,从而令人满意地重建灾民的福祉。

This article explores the urban planning curriculum of the three selected planning schools in India. They are the School of Planning and Architecture (SPA), New Delhi; Department of City and Regional Planning, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur; and the Faculty of Planning, CEPT University, Ahmedabad. It uses content analysis to understand the deepening of research, skill formation and the possible change in pedagogy due to growing concerns about climate change (CC) and disaster risk reduction (DRR) in the urban area. The concerned programme coordinators and heads of the departments have also been consulted to find out the general approach to integrating CC and DRR knowledge into their planning curricula. An account of research outreach of faculty members, student dissertations and institutional publication in the CC and DRR has also been presented to illustrate research outreach with the community. It has been found that these schools need to deepen further their engagement with the domain of CC and DRR.

This study investigates how CO2 emissions behave with the increase or decrease in urbanization and energy consumption, employing pooled ordinary least square (OLS) estimator on a panel of 137 countries from 1961–2019. The findings indicate that there is asymmetry between the process of urbanization, energy consumption and CO2 emissions. From a global perspective, the asymmetry of urbanization on CO2 emissions is more prominent than energy consumption, although CO2 emissions are more responsive towards energy consumption in symmetric cases. For low-income economies, urbanization does not exhibit any significant impact on carbon emission, but energy consumption does. For lower-middle income economies, a lower level of urbanization has a greater impact on CO2 emission than an increase in urbanization, but carbon emissions are more reactive towards energy consumption. Moreover, both urbanization and energy consumption posit a significant impact on carbon emission for upper-middle income economies. Therefore, environment-friendly urbanization and efficient energy consumption should be prioritized to offset the negative externalities.
本研究调查了二氧化碳排放与城市化和能源消耗的增减之间的关系,对137个国家的1961-2019年面板使用了汇总普通最小二乘(OLS)估计器。研究结果表明,城市化进程、能源消耗和二氧化碳排放之间存在不对称性。从全球来看,城市化对二氧化碳排放的不对称性比能源消耗的不对称性更为突出,尽管在对称情况下,二氧化碳排放对能源消耗的响应更大。对于低收入经济体,城市化对碳排放没有显著影响,但能源消费对碳排放有显著影响。对于中低收入经济体,较低的城市化水平对二氧化碳排放的影响大于城市化水平的提高,但碳排放对能源消耗的反应性更强。此外,城市化和能源消费对中高收入经济体的碳排放都有显著影响。因此,应优先考虑环境友好型城市化和高效能源消费,以抵消负面外部性。

India is a developing nation with urban populations growing exponentially and rural villages being electrified. Thus, India is expected to have a high growth rate in energy demand over the coming years for which the nation is heavily dependent on fossil fuels. Solar energy presents an attractive solution to growing energy challenges as it is abundant, inexhaustible and environment friendly. Many programmes and policies have been initiated at both the national and state level for promoting solar energy across all sectors. This article comprehensively assesses various government initiatives for off-grid solar photovoltaic (SPV)/solar water heating (SWH) systems for commercial establishments and brings forth the government perspective in terms of implementation of these initiatives, need for improvements and the lacunas in availing the incentives. The article also presents suggestions given by government officials for better acceptance and implementation of such initiatives.
印度是一个发展中国家,城市人口呈指数增长,农村通电。因此,由于印度严重依赖化石燃料,预计未来几年印度的能源需求将保持高速增长。太阳能资源丰富,取之不尽,用之不竭,对环境友好,是解决日益严峻的能源挑战的一个有吸引力的解决方案。在国家和州一级已经启动了许多方案和政策,以便在所有部门推广太阳能。本文全面评估了政府针对商业机构的离网太阳能光伏(SPV)/太阳能热水(SWH)系统的各种举措,并从实施这些举措、改进需求和利用激励措施方面提出了政府的观点。文章还提出了政府官员为更好地接受和实施这些倡议而提出的建议。

This study sought to assess the visual quality of dual thoroughfare streetscapes in Davao City, specifically identifying existing visual components in terms of landscape layer, landform, vegetation, light and colour, compatibility, archetypal elements and its character of peace and silence. Davao City had a consistent score in its streetscapes, garnering not the highest but a relatively high score. The results showed that the presence of landscape layers, light and colour, vegetation, and character of peace and silence seem to be the most critical visual components in its overall contemplative score. Of the city’s streets, the highest visual quality score was Roxas Avenue with a mean of 4.44. The lowest was the Manambulan-Tagakpan Road with a mean of 4.07. Based on the overall ranking system in the contemplative score Davao City obtained a relatively high rank. The presence of vegetation, particularly the young to fully grown trees, also produces more shade which provides thermal comfort and a cooler experience in the streetscape. The association between the individual visual landscape component scores against the overall visual quality resulted in a landscape layer of 0.825 and vegetation of 0.824, which showed a significant correlation. The significant findings among the components is the indication of landforms which greatly contributed to the total score.
本研究旨在评估达沃市双通道街道景观的视觉质量,特别是在景观层、地形、植被、光线和色彩、兼容性、原型元素及其和平与沉默的特征方面确定现有的视觉组成部分。达沃市在街景方面得分一致,得分不是最高,但相对较高。结果表明,景观层的存在、光线和色彩、植被以及和平与沉默的特征似乎是其整体沉思得分中最关键的视觉成分。在该市的街道中,罗哈斯大道(Roxas Avenue)的视觉质量得分最高,平均为4.44分。最低的是Manambulan-Tagakpan公路,平均为4.07。根据冥想得分的整体排名系统,达沃市获得了相对较高的排名。植被的存在,特别是幼树和完全生长的树木,也产生了更多的阴影,为街景提供了热舒适和凉爽的体验。个体视觉景观成分得分与整体视觉质量的相关性为:景观层得分为0.825,植被得分为0.824,两者呈显著相关。各组成部分之间的显著发现是地形的指示,地形对总分的贡献很大。

The significant findings among the components is the indication of landforms which greatly contributed to the total score.","PeriodicalId":44690,"journal":{"name":"Environment and Urbanization ASIA","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46532899","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}

Khulna City Corporation (KCC) has undergone rapid urban development and expansion in recent times. These changes, including the change in land surface temperature (LST) throughout the area, have significant long-term effects. This research analysed the effects of land cover changes on KCC’s LST. By using the maximum likelihood classification method, Landsat imagery investigation identified the land cover chart and determined the LST for the years 1999, 2009 and 2019. It was modelled for the simulation of land cover for the year 2029 by using the classification results and applying the multi-layer perceptron Markov (MLPM) models together. It then also modelled the LST for the year 2029 by using three thematic indices and multiple regression analysis. As a result, the KCC urban area grew by 49% between 1999 and 2019. Simulation results have shown that the KCC could possibly experience a temperature range of more than or equal to 26°C in 2029 if the recent pattern persists. For KCC, the average LST for the urban area is projected to be 27°C in 2029. The scenario shown in this article will assist urban planners in quantifying the impact of various LST change-related issues and, thus, in preparing proper strategic measures.
库尔纳城市公司(KCC)近年来经历了快速的城市发展和扩张。这些变化,包括整个地区地表温度的变化,具有显著的长期影响。本研究分析了土地覆盖变化对KCC地表温度的影响。通过使用最大似然分类方法,陆地卫星图像调查确定了1999年、2009年和2019年的土地覆盖图并确定了LST。通过使用分类结果并同时应用多层感知器马尔可夫(MLPM)模型,为2029年的土地覆盖模拟建模。然后,它还通过使用三个主题指数和多元回归分析对2029年的LST进行了建模。因此,KCC城区在1999年至2019年间增长了49%。模拟结果表明,如果最近的模式持续下去,2029年KCC可能会经历超过或等于26°C的温度范围。对于KCC,预计2029年城市地区的平均LST为27°C。本文所示的场景将有助于城市规划者量化各种LST变化相关问题的影响,从而制定适当的战略措施。

In Delhi, the capital city of India, air pollution has been a perpetual menace to urban sustainability and public health. The present study uses a mixed-method approach to enumerate to the urban authorities: (a) the state of air pollution in the city; (b) systemic flaws in the current monitoring network; (c) potential means to bolster it; and (d) need of a participatory framework for monitoring. Information about Air Quality Index (AQI), obtained from 36 monitoring stations across Delhi is compared between 2021 (20 April–25 May; 2nd year/phase of SARS-CoV-2 lockdown), and the corresponding time periods in 2020 (1st year/phase of lockdown), and 2019 (business-as-usual) using the Mann–Whitney U Test. AQI during the 2021 lockdown (a) appeared statistically more similar (p < .01) to that of 2019 and (b) exceeded the environmental health safety benchmark for 85% days during the study period (20 April–25 May). However, this only presented a partial glimpse into the air pollution status. It owes to numerous ‘holes’ in the AQI data record (no data and/or insufficient data). Moreover, certain areas in Delhi yet have no monitoring station, or only too few, to yield a ‘representative’ estimate (inadequate spatial coverage). Such shortcomings in the existing monitoring network may deter future research and targeted/informed decision-making for pollution control. To that end, the present research offers a summary view of Low-Cost Air Quality Sensors (LCAQS), to offer the urban sustainability authorities, ‘complementary’ technique to bolster and diversify the existing network. The main advantages and disadvantages of various LCAQS sensor technologies are highlighted while emphasizing on the challenges around various calibration techniques (linear and non-linear). The final section reflects on the integration of science and technology with social dimensions of air quality monitoring and highlights key requirements for (a) community mobilization and (b) stakeholder engagement to forge a participatory systems’ design for LCAQS deployment.
在印度首都德里,空气污染一直是城市可持续性和公众健康的永久威胁。本研究采用混合方法向城市当局列举:(a)城市空气污染状况;(b)现行监测网络存在系统缺陷;(c)潜在的支持手段;(d)需要一个参与性的监测框架。从德里36个监测站获得的空气质量指数(AQI)信息在2021年(4月20日至5月25日;使用曼-惠特尼U测试,分别计算2020年(封锁第一年/阶段)和2019年(一切照旧)的相应时间段。2021年封城期间的空气质量指数(a)与2019年的空气质量指数在统计上更为相似(p < 0.01), (b)在研究期间(4月20日至5月25日)有85%的天数超过了环境健康安全基准。然而,这只是对空气污染状况的部分了解。这是由于空气质量数据记录中存在许多“漏洞”(没有数据和/或数据不足)。此外,德里的某些地区还没有监测站,或者监测站太少,无法产生“代表性”的估计(空间覆盖不足)。现有监测网的这些缺点可能妨碍今后的污染控制研究和有针对性/知情的决策。为此,本研究提供了低成本空气质量传感器(LCAQS)的概述,为城市可持续发展当局提供“补充”技术,以支持现有网络并使其多样化。强调了各种LCAQS传感器技术的主要优点和缺点,同时强调了各种校准技术(线性和非线性)的挑战。最后一部分反映了科学和技术与空气质量监测的社会层面的整合,并强调了(a)社区动员和(b)利益相关者参与的关键要求,以形成LCAQS部署的参与式系统设计。
