During the development of towns, there are constant changes in the way of land use. This paper took a town in Hebei province as an example, obtained its remote sensing data, analyzed the characteristics of land use changes and the impact on ecological protection in the area between 2013 and 2020, and calculated the degree of diversity, dynamic degree, and ecological index. The results showed that from 2013 to 2020, the area of the cultivated land in the town decreased by 423.33 km2, the area of the forest land decreased by 25.15 km2, but the area of the construction land increased by 454.743 km2; the degree of diversity was relatively stable, the overall dynamic degree was 0.24%, the fragmentation and separation degrees decreased; the cultivated and construction lands changed most. This study can provide a reference for the subsequent land use planning of this town.

This study investigates the impact of place attachment on park utilisation through residents’ interaction. The correlation between place attachment attributes (functional, emotional and social attachments) and social interaction (engagement patterns and levels of interaction) is tested within Malaysian neighbourhood parks. The findings are based on systematic field observation and a questionnaire survey conducted with 387 residents in three Malaysian neighbourhoods. The results demonstrate a strong correlation between place attachment attributes and resident engagement with parks, thereby increasing the potential for social interactions. The level of functional attachment is strongly linked to both passive and active interactions. Hence, environmental planning and design researchers should further focus on the psychological attachment process of park users to provide more responsive and inclusive parks. Since functional attachment was found to be the key issue for promoting park use and social interaction, this study argues that giving further attention to residents’ functional needs regarding their parks will help mitigate the issue of underutilised parks and enhance neighbourhoods liveability. As the relationships between park utilisation and the influences of place attachment characteristics remain poorly understood, providing insight on how to include place attachment attributes in the design process of parks will enhance parks’ responsiveness.

Urban studies have addressed the role of the media with regard to the ways in which the production of news affects the practicing of urban life. Media promotes urban growth but also plays a role in the creation of negative images to places and neighbourhoods. This paper explores discourses of safety and security, illustrated in Swedish newspaper representations of two neighbourhoods in Malmö, Sweden, with different social status. Content analysis and discourse analysis methods were used to contribute to the understanding of potentiality as well as hindrances for a just urban planning. The overall result shows a negative image of Bellevuegården as a problematic area, whereas Västra Hamnen is presented as an attractive and safe neighbourhood. The study also identifies the interrelations and intertextuality between each neighbourhood and the city of Malmö as a whole. It is highlighted how Malmö has struggled with its negative reputation as a dangerous city. To favour one and disfavour another area does not contribute to equality and integration, which is the vision involved in the comprehensive planning of Malmö City. It has been concluded that the news media's representation of neighbourhoods has influenced how they are perceived, both by inhabitants and by society at large.

The precise quantification of Land Use Land Cover (LULC) plays a vital role in preserving sustainability, which is being affected by growing urbanization. The study proposes the comprehensive Geographical Information System (GIS) approach in integration with Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to analyse the past development patterns of the city for predicting future land transformations. In the present study, land transformations over the past three decades (for years 1990, 2000, 2010, 2015, and 2020) were analysed using classified maps for Jaipur city, India, as a case study, which reveals that the built-up land was increased by 46.55%. Subsequently, the simulated land transformation map for the year 2030 using the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Cellular Automata (CA) anticipates that the built-up land would be increased by 12.68% by cutting down the barren land and vegetation by 9.44% and 3.24%, respectively. The simulation offers strong evidence that most of the medium-built-up land density municipality wards transform into high-density built-up land density wards during the next decade, which is visualized through the exclusively developed ward-by-ward built-up land density maps. The utilization of the simulated map in a proposed way helps to prepare the comprehensive micro-level urban development plan by incorporating natural resource conservation and land use planning.

The urgency in providing basic shelter for a large, displaced and distressed population frequently means that the design of refugee camps follows a ‘generic top-down framework’ with basic humanitarian and techno-managerial planning strategies rising to the fore. These are usually based on a universal standardization for the allocation of ‘shelter’ and its repetition in a grid-based settlement layout. Camps are planned with an anticipation of removal and disassembly in the short or medium term. The standardization is based on the understanding that a camp is a short-term solution and typically results in a military-style modular spatial hierarchy with formally defined boundaries. This paper is based on a systematic review of literature in the public domain about the Al-Zaatari Syrian refugee camp in Jordan. Despite the originally imposed uniformity, against all odds, the story on the ground at this camp is one of a rapid transformation initially through collective determination. The UN ‘s strictly orthogonal grid was rapidly overlayed and reconfigured to support a preferred way of living anchored in continuity of the previous social and cultural norms of the refugee population. This paper illustrates these processes of adaptation and transformation and examines the evolving distribution of space between occupants, the expansion of opportunities for income generation, and the introduction of new housing typologies and services. Early interventions were collectively initiated. Qver time, the influence of informal market forces led to those with resources gained ascendancy over those with less.

Humanistic needs of refugees are rarely acknowledged in the initial designs of refugee camps. Many camps evolve to become more than a simple temporary solution with generations of refugees spending many years in them. During this time, refugees experience multiple humanistic needs, such as social and cultural adequacy, belonging, sustainability, community integration, home adaptation and improved access to essential services. Considering these complex conceptualisations, a multidimensional approach to the design of refugee camps is needed in terms of urban planning development. In this perspective, the paper employs the case study of Baqa'a camp in Jordan to explore the use of integrated criteria specifications as a solution for capturing the multidimensional elements of refugees’ higher-level needs and their impact on urban planning development. Findings propose criteria based on the refugees’ needs. The criteria were formulated from literature based on human needs theories, international refugee studies and reports from humanitarian organisations and developed through fieldwork and observation in Baqa'a camp community. The outputs demonstrate how shelter requirements and urban organisation by NGOs, often based on time management, logistics and costs, differ from standards and criteria that address the humanistic needs and desires of people. With these assumptions, a multidimensional approach to meeting the needs of refugees living in warm and dry climates is proposed to support the multi-transitional levels of shelter and socio-spatial urban organisation and evolution taking place in refugee camps.

As Covid-19 vaccination in the U.S. begins and hopes of a gradual return to normalcy are raised after much disruption in the shopping behavior of consumers, there is a need to examine consumers’ shopping patterns at different stages of the pandemic to adequately understand the potential impacts on shopping behavior. This study explored the shopping behavior of Florida residents during the early transition phase of the pandemic, using data collected from an online survey from February to April 2021. A comprehensive analysis was conducted examining the shopping patterns in terms of purchase frequency, expenditure, and shopping trip distance as well as individuals’ shopping attitudes. Further analysis of the shopping behavior was also carried out to investigate whether and how key demographic variables, including age, income, and gender, might be associated with their shopping patterns and attitudes. The analysis reveals that finding and comparing products were big motivators for using online shopping, while concerns about putting personal information online, shipping costs, and the return process may discourage online shopping. Women spent less than men but had significantly higher purchase frequencies than men. People generally liked shopping without interacting with anyone, which suggests that in-store shopping was not necessarily motivated by the need for social interactions. However, price, safety, and parking availability were the top factors in choosing the stores to shop from. Thus, urban and transportation planners should promote compact, mixed-use development and parking management strategies to reduce vehicle shopping trips and the need for separate trips for different purposes.

The role of density in the spread of the coronavirus pandemic is among the most critical concerns of urban designers and planners. To clarify this role, this systematic literature review is conducted on urban density and the COVID-19 infection and mortality rates in the context of urban design and planning. The studies were searched through three databases including Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science in March 2022 and were screened and reviewed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Totally, 58 of the 3344 studies had pre-defined criteria. The results were categorized into four sections: population density, building density, built environment factors, and sociodemographic factors. Finally, directions are provided for future studies due to research gaps.

Social sustainability plays an important role in improving life quality as it can foster good relations between community members. However, this phenomenon, the main goal of which is to enhance residents’ wellbeing, has not been given enough consideration in the housing sector. A study was undertaken to assess social sustainability in public housing projects with different spatial organisation in Jordan. This was achieved through an exploratory mixed-method approach that utilised four case studies of public housing projects. Spatial analysis was done for each research setting based on design criteria extracted from sustainability principles, including housing type and affordability, compact development, mixed land use, public spaces, schools, access to quality transit, and walkability. A total of 474 responses were collected from residents of selected case studies to try to understand social sustainability in these residential neighbourhoods. Social sustainability was identified through six indicators: social equity, social capital, collective group and network, community stability, pride and sense of place, and safety and security. The results showed that spatial organisation and design criteria have a major or significant effect on social sustainability. They also indicated that other variables affect social sustainability, including length of residency, ownership and proper relationship between housing unit space and family size.
