Abstract Context The landscape provides not only a living space for all life forms, including humans, but also spatial base and set of resources the implementation individual human activities. Inappropriate activities, disrespecting properties landscape's natural resources, causes degradation and, consequently, living. Objectives aim this paper is to develop new methodological procedures algorithms effective assessment capital based on geosystem approach. Methods Each territorial unit (geosystem) represents unique combination assets that create certain potential development activities eco-stabilization functions. In study, we developed approach assess landscapes sustainable use. This involves selecting indicators their functional interpretation, as well collecting available data statistics GIS analysis, synthesis, modeling. Results procedure consists determination assessment, values weighting coefficients, suitability value capital, restrictions limiting factors. can be categorized into abiotic, land cover biotic, socio-economic indicators, which either support or limit them. Options use were split two groups activities: (I) planning (II) specific functions (e.g., energy use, recreation, regulation services). modeling eco-stabilizing in Trnava LTSER pointed low ecological stability, mainly central part district. Discussion strength, novelty opportunities implementing assessment. Conclusions As an output approach, comprehensive digital database landscape-ecological its has been created Slovakia. consistent information other socio-ecological indicators. applicable any territory basis modification.

As urban populations age, creating cities that cater to the needs of elderly residents becomes increasingly vital. This paper addresses imperative develop environments supporting well-being against a backdrop changing demographics. With proportion individuals steadily rising, demand for age-inclusive design is more pressing than ever. The research question driving this study is: How can sustainable retrofit strategies contribute design, considering physiological and psychological characteristics elderly? Begins with examining theoretical foundations practices, shedding light on their significance common objectives. Shortcomings in current practices are scrutinized, highlighting gaps need addressing. Integrating elderly, along distinct outdoor environments, review contributes nuanced understanding age-specific requirements. A bespoke strategy conceptualized, rooted principles design. Finally, acknowledging challenges faced achieving spaces provides forward-looking recommendations.

Subways, underground logistics systems and parking, as the primary facilities types of underground, contribute significantly to achievement carbon–neutral cities by moving surface transportation thereby releasing space for creation more urban blue-green carbon sink. Therefore, in-depth studies on neutrality strategies well reliable layout optimization solutions these three are required. This study proposes a spatial strategy using hydrogen storage geothermal energy employing multi-agent system model. First, relationships, competition, coordination, followership, between five that emission reduction were investigated.

Drone imagery has the potential to enrich urban planning and historic preservation, especially where it converges with growing creation use of 3D models in context cities metro regions. Nevertheless, widespread adoption drones these fields faces limitations, there is a shortage research addressing this issue. Therefore, we have conducted systematic literature review articles published between 2002 2022 drawing from reputable academic repositories, including Science Direct, Web Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), identify current gaps existing on application UAVs contexts preservation. Our findings indicate five shortcomings for city modeling: limited participation experts, focus imbalance, lack usage special scenarios, integration smart planning, interdisciplinary collaboration. In addition, study acknowledges limitations around UAV applications discusses possible countermeasures along future prospects.

With an expected increase in urbanisation and low-carbon transition efforts, the planning of cities is becoming more challenging, societies need to rethink how urban infrastructures will be constructed future. There a growing recognition that use space below city significantly enhanced. However, once transformed, underground becomes permanent feature, major metropolitan areas worldwide are gradually acknowledging subsurface as valuable, non-renewable resource, emphasising necessity for long-term, comprehensive, sustainable its utilisation. Sweden, including Stockholm region, has favourable geological conditions building facilities long tradition engineering. Despite these advantages, lacks long-term plan or strategy. For years, projects have been driven by short-term needs, potentially hindering optimal cityscape. The overall purpose this paper twofold. First, we explore nascent area scholarly work concerned with case Stockholm's subsurface. We do so evaluating current status potential municipality. Second, seek advance existing knowledge practices concerning identifying several distinct but interrelated gaps challenges impede immediate integration into strategic decision-making future Stockholm. suggest further research necessary key facilitate effectiveness sustainability City area.

Background: In the search for a panacea to local government dysfunction, structure of is an important area focus. Largely, district and municipalities which were carved out need post-apartheid transformational spatial development, struggle achieve delivery planning goals. 2019, South African introduced District Development Model (DDM), innovative platform that will tackle poor coordination service in sphere. The model has been piloted O.R. Tambo Eastern Cape province. Aim: This research critically explores potential DDM improve Integrated Planning (IDP) Municipality. Methods: meaningful exploration this latest intervention, study anchors itself on interpretivist paradigm. Semi-structured interview with in-depth preset open-ended questions was conducted five senior managers. Results: results show although there seems be general awareness among principal actors, are some grey areas how it function expected achieved. Internal external include communication dynamics within model, whole change management process needed effectively put initiative place. Conclusion: article recommends open systems approach makes hub agile team. Contribution: adds knowledge alternative models; provides as source introduction DDM, represents initial exploratory into DDM.
