Traditional Village Building Extraction Based on Improved Mask R-CNN: A Case Study of Beijing, China

As an essential material carrier of cultural heritage, the accurate identification and effective monitoring of buildings in traditional Chinese villages are of great significance to the sustainable development of villages. However, along with rapid urbanization in recent years, many towns have experienced problems such as private construction, hollowing out, and land abuse, destroying the traditional appearance of villages. This study combines deep learning technology and UAV remote sensing to propose a high-precision extraction method for conventional village architecture. Firstly, this study constructs the first sample database of traditional village architecture based on UAV remote sensing orthophotos of eight representative villages in Beijing, combined with fine classification; secondly, in the face of the diversity and complexity of the built environment in traditional villages, we use the Mask R-CNN instance segmentation model as the basis and Path Aggregate Feature Pyramid Network (PAFPN) and Atlas Space Pyramid Pool (ASPP) as the main strategies to enhance the backbone model for multi-scale feature extraction and fusion, using data increment and migration learning as auxiliary means to overcome the shortage of labeled data. The results showed that some categories could achieve more than 91% accuracy, with average precision, recall, F1-score, and Intersection over Union (IoU) values reaching 71.3% (+7.8%), 81.9% (+4.6%), 75.7% (+6.0%), and 69.4% (+8.5%), respectively. The application practice in Hexi village shows that the method has good generalization ability and robustness, and has good application prospects for future traditional village conservation.

Village Development: Effect of Vilage Fund and Village Head Education

Village Autonomy allows villages to realize more advanced and prosperous rural development. According to some literature, village development needs sufficient funds. In Indonesia, Village Fund has become one of the necessary funds for villages since 2015. Besides the effect of the Village Fund amount, this study evaluates the role of village leaders in optimizing Village Fund management. This study aims to analyze the impact of village head education support in managing the Village Fund on the development of village status in Indonesia empirically. The analytical method uses cross-sectional multiple linear regression in the data between 2018 and 2020. This study uses changes in the village building index (IDM) score to reflect the development of village status each year as the dependent variable, then Village Fund and interaction between Village Fund and Village Head education as the independent variables. The results denote that the management of the Village Fund will be more effective in influencing the growth of village development if the village has a village head with an education above high school. Therefore, the Central Government should provide intervention on the policy criteria for allocating Village Funds, especially performance allocation, by including village head education as an additional indicator in the Village Fund management process.

Bangunan Sehat sebagai Penunjang Health Tourism di Bali

Title: Healthy Buildings as Supporting Health Tourism in Bali
 
 Bali is known as a tourist destination, and tourism in Bali has fallen due to COVID-19. The government plans to revive Bali tourism by establishing it as a health tourism destination. Support for health tourism is the healthy buildings that can minimise the transmission of COVID-19. In addition to health in tourist attractions, houses and areas where people live must also be healthy. The facilities in traditional Balinese villages have generally changed their function to become new buildings to accommodate the number of families and changes in activity patterns. These changes cause buildings to become unhealthy and impact the health of the village. Based on these problems, it is necessary to ask that healthy buildings in traditional Balinese villages can support health tourism. The research objective was to conduct an initial study of healthy buildings in traditional villages. The benefit of the research is preventing transmission of COVID-19 and other outbreaks that may occur in the Bali region. The research method is a literature study and observation. The study results are recommendations for repairing buildings in traditional villages to reduce the risk of transmission of the COVID-19 virus.

Youth Empowerment for Productive Economic Efforts in the Use of Coconut Charcoal Shells

The use of coconut fruit waste (coco nucifera) is still very open to be studied and further developed in Indonesia as a tropical country that has very abundant natural resources to be utilized optimally. This is also considering that although almost all parts of the coconut fruit have been taken advantage of, many are also wasted into waste such as the fibers and shells. One of the uses of coconut shells is used as charcoal fuel. Coconut shell charcoal is usually further processed into briquettes and until now is used by the community for household, business, and industrial purposes. The use of coconut shells can be done to overcome wastewater.Changes and village building initiatives must grow from young people or millennials who act as agents of change. The research approach used is a type of pedagogic approach that leads to providing a description of the object of research and its relation to everything studied in the form of interviews and the results of the author’s observations during the activity and after the activity. In this study, a qualitative descriptive design type was used. Researchers are trying to obtain and describe data about this service activity in the form of Training on Making Shells into Charcoal with the theme “Training on Making charcoal into shells in Kedung Soka Village, Ampel Island District, Serang Regency, Banten Province, Indonesia”.

제주 성평등 마을만들기 실천 전략으로서 마을규약 개정 사례 분석

This paper examines the aspects and characteristics of gender equality village building by local governments promoted against the backdrop of the women-friendly city policy of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family through the case of a rural village in Jeju that led to the revision of gender equality village rules. As a result of the analysis, the following points can be found. First of all, finding out issues that can expand the participation of major actors and strengthening the cooperative implementation system among them played an important role in achieving certain results in the gender equality village building in the case area. Next, most rural villages are undergoing changes in population composition, and a new autonomy movement combining issues such as culture and environment in addition to gender equality issues is emerging, raising cases of conflict over village rules and the need for revision. The solution can also be said to be a task thrown into the case area. In addition, the project to revise the village rules for gender equality promoted in Jeju did not proceed smoothly in all villages, and there were some villages that delayed the revision of the village rules or failed to pass the village rules revision agenda at the village assembly. When it is said that even sea water itself does not guarantee the realization of village autonomy, a comparative study on villages that attempted to amend the village rules is necessary.

Propagation Modeling of Rainfall-Induced Landslides: A Case Study of the Shaziba Landslide in Enshi, China

Geological disasters, especially landslides, frequently occur in Enshi County, Hubei Province, China. On 21 July 2020, a large-scale landslide occurred in Enshi due to continuous rainfall. The landslide mass blocked the Qingjiang River, formed a dammed lake and caused great damage to surrounding roads and village buildings. In this study, the geomechanical properties of the landslide mass were obtained through field surveys. A three-dimensional topography model of the slope was established using the particle flow code (PFC) and the numerical parameters of the model were calibrated. A 3D discrete element model (DEM) was used to simulate the propagation of Shaziba landslide, and the dynamic behavior of the landslide was divided into five stages. The simulation results show that the landslide movement lasted approximately 1000 s. The maximum average velocity of the landslide reached up to 7.5 m/s and the average runout distance was about 1000 m. The simulated morphology of the landslide deposits was in good agreement with the field data. In addition, the influence of effective modulus on the calculation results was analyzed. The results indicate that the propagation behavior of a landslide and the morphology of landslide deposits are closely related to the effective modulus in the contact model of the PFC3D.

The exploratory study on performance of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in Small Regency Bengkulu

This study aims to examine factors that affect the performance of Village Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) and find out what problems BUMDes have in the Central Bengkulu Regency. This research used stewardship theory and Social Enterprise Theory. Researchers applied descriptive qualitative approach. The research informant was a village device/BUMDes manager. The results of this study showed that most BUMDes have business units and income of at least one million per month. The factors affecting their performance were business type, revenue, and management/ management of organizations. The problem faced by all BUMDes was BUMDes Human Resources (HR), which was not yet capable and competent, as well as knowledge and skills in conducting good financial management and reporting. The development of BUMDes' business unit, BUMDes management, and its ability to manage and account for its performance was the key to the success of BUMDes. Local governments should pay more attention and foster and increase supervision of the performance of BUMDes more intensely. The study used BUMDes performance categorization assessments attributed to the Building Village Index, specifically the Economic Resilience Index.

The influence of different types of mortar on the compressive strength of masonry

In the investigation of typical masonry buildings in villages of China, it was found that the number of masonry structures accounted for more than 90% of buildings (Wang et al., 2022). The mortars used in masonry structures in villages of China have developed rapidly from mud to while clay mortar/slag mortar and to cement mortar. In this article, it is found that there is a difference of the compressive strength between the result calculated by the Chinese standard code and the experimental result. The test of the compressive strength of masonry columns with different types of mortars is carried out for modifying the equations. The research is carried out from the perspectives of stress-strain curve, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, compressive strength of masonry columns. The results show that the compressive strength of the masonry increases with the increase of the compressive strength of the mortar. The compressive strength of the experimental values is 1.2 times more than the calculated value of the specification. Therefore, the study puts forward the revised equation for masonry in terms of stress-strain relationship, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and compressive strength of masonry.

Building a Case Study of Cimaragas Village in the Ciamis Regency Using the Village Index

This study investigates the development issues faced by the government in light of the Village Development Index, which measures the degree of village independence based on social, economic, and environmental factors as a map of village development. The research area for examining how the Village Law on village development is being implemented is Cimaragas Village, Cimaragas Subdistrict, and Ciamis Regency. By searching for data sources from the study of literature and related paperwork, this research was carried out in a qualitative descriptive manner. According to the study’s findings, based on the villages’ updated Village Building Index for the years 2018 to 2022, there is an improvement in the status of village independence. When development is carried out in a village in line with the law, but the development objectives are not met and village governance negatively impacts development, this situation is not ideal.

Research on Energy Saving and Economy of Old Buildings Based on Parametric Design: A Case Study of a Hospital in Linyi City, Shandong Province

With the need for a green economy and the introduction of low-carbon policies, more and more old buildings are being transformed to improve the thermal performance of buildings and reduce energy consumption. However, people ignore the village buildings and the old public buildings. Based on the investigation of a typical health center in Linyi City, this paper proposed improvement measures using EnergyPlus simulation software and JePlus parameter chemical tools. The various factors analyze the various parts of the enclosure, and the energy-saving effect of the roof is better than that of the exterior wall: When the thickness of the insulation layer gradually increases from 0 cm to 30 cm, the unit energy consumption of the building gradually decreases from 57 kW·h/m2 to 42.8 kW·h/m2, while that of the roof is gradually reduced to 24.41 kW·h/m2. Double exterior windows effectively reduce the energy consumption of the building in all renovation schemes. The optimal scheme is selected through the parameterized design of all the overall enclosure reconstruction schemes and the initial investments. The results showed that the investment recovery of the selected scheme was between 1.36–5.28 years. Plan 5 (12 cm XPS is used as insulation material for the exterior wall and roof, and the exterior window is replaced with 6 mm medium transmittance Low-e + 12 mm air + 6 mm clear) had the highest energy efficiency (91.11%). Plan 2 (6 cm XPS is used as insulation material for the exterior wall and roof, and the exterior window is replaced with 12 mm single medium transmittance heat-reflecting glass) had the shortest investment recovery period (2.04 years).

CGAN-Assisted Renovation of the Styles and Features of Street Facades—A Case Study of the Wuyi Area in Fujian, China

With the development of society and the economy, the unified planning of architectural styles has become a significant problem in the balance between urban expansion and the protection of traditional buildings in villages and towns. This also allows people to re-examine the appearance of and quality of life, experienced by those in traditional village buildings. This research employs a conditional generative adversarial network (CGAN) to develop a generative technique for designing building facades in villages and cities. The provided results can be used to develop schemes and as design references for building facade design, enhancing the design efficiency of building facades. Simultaneously, we utilized this model for the rehabilitation of building facades in villages and towns, as well as in the visual design of rural tourism products, demonstrating its practical usefulness and design-related potential. We took villages and towns in the Wuyishan area of China as an example and carried out model training, image generation, and a comparison of the derivation results of different assumed buildings and product contours. The research shows that: (1) CGAN can be used to produce and supply reference schemes for conventional civil construction facade design in rural and urban areas. (2) In terms of adaptability, CGAN may develop architectural facade design schemes with a reference value for the hypothetical experimental building facades, and it can play a role in other design domains, as well. (3) The construction of this method is not only applicable to villages and towns in the World Heritage es Cities Programme, but can be further promoted and used in the future for cities and villages that have a demand for architectural style consistency.
