Internet of Things: Wildlife Conservation and its Challenges

Right now there are more connected “Things” than there are people on this planet. Early last year, it is predicted that Internet of things (IOT) would have at least 8.4 billion connected “Things” in use rising to more than 21 billion by 2021. Today major percentage of wildlife is vulnerable to extinction. This is caused due to the destruction of forest areas for farming, logging and construction of new cities and towns. Many wild animals have been killed due to road accidents and speeding vehicles passes through the wildlife protected area. Animals crossing boundaries have led to be killed. The impacts of roads include habitat loss, habitat fragmentation and habitat degradation that affect wildlife and its habitats both directly and indirectly especially on larger mammals [6]. Recent studies into the extent of illegal logging estimate that illegal logging accounts for 50-90 per cent of the volume of all forestry in key producer tropical countries and 15-30 per cent globally [1]. Protection of wildlife has become an important now a days, because of human activities such as hunting of wild animals and cutting of trees which causes major threat to the wildlife. Recent advancements in IoT technology and sensor technology have the potential to wildlife conservation. Physical barriers are not suitable for animals because they may harm the animal physically. This can be prevented by using tracking of animal movement and keep them under a logical barrier. This paper focuses on implementation of animal monitoring and challenges of wildlife conservation. This paper also shows natural challenges and technical challenges while implementing animal tracking and health monitoring system.

Urbanization that hides in the dark – Spotting China’s “ghost neighborhoods” from space

The excessive planning and construction of new cities and towns as well the massive expansion of planned settlement areas in China reveals a surprising phenomenon: extensive newly constructed areas that are characterized by severe under capacity. This phenomenon is described as “ghost city” and usually appears at the intra-urban scale. However, current data and methods are inappropriate to detect this phenomenon at this intra-urban scale for entire China. Besides, most studies neglect the usual immigration period of newly built areas. In this study, we suggest a new term, the “ghost neighborhood”, which refers to a new residential neighborhood that still runs at severe under capacity after a typical immigration period of five to six years. Based on this conceptual baseline, we identify “ghost neighborhoods” across China by developing a methodology to gradually exclude the “non-ghost areas” by predominantly relying on night-light emissions. The process is based on LJ1-01 night-light data, TanDEM-X data and Global Urban Footprint data, which feature evident advantages in spatial resolutions while being available for entire China. The main results are as follows: 1) we identify 1048 “ghost neighborhoods” across the urban landscapes of China with a total coverage area of 353.64 km2; they are estimated to have the capacity to house 13.6 million people; 2) the identified “ghost neighborhoods” are particularly frequent and large in the dynamically urbanizing regions, such as the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta and the entire Shandong province.

The Americanisation of Israeli housing practices

The UN Resolution 181 of 27 November 1947, which called for the establishment of a Jewish state in parts of Palestine, was one of the only votes backed by both the USSR and the USA. Both superpowers saw the future state as a potential ally. Though being long affiliated with the American agenda, the young state of Israel did possess several Soviet-like characteristics during the early rule of the socialist Mapai party. One of the young state’s key projects was the construction of new industrial towns and residential neighbourhoods. These environments corresponded with ruling socialist ideology as they consisted of affordable, repetitive, and customised public housing estates. The growing alliance with the USA in the 1960s significantly influenced the Israeli culture and economy, as both underwent a process of ‘Americanisation’. This included the promotion of liberal values, such as privatisation, entrepreneurialism, and individualism. ‘Americanisation’ largely affected the local built environment. Through an intense process of privatisation, the former monotonous publicly built housing estates began giving way to new privately constructed projects. Ultimately, what began as a tool of self-expression was taken over by large-scale private corporations. The early public housing estates first turned into private houses, and later into a commodity. This article aims to reveal how the Israeli allegiance with the USA affected its local culture and economy. Leading to a transformation in the system of housing production, it replaced the former socialist housing approach with a market-driven one. The article focuses on five adjacent settlements located beside the Green Line and the West Bank: Kibbutz-Eyal (1950), Tzur-Nathan (1966), Sal’it (1977), Kochav-Yair (1986), and Tzur-Yitzhak (2005). Analysing their development, the article shows how the growing privatisation process altered the development of the built environment while adapting to changes in local politics, culture, and economy.

Treatment and Disposal Technology of Surplus Sludge in Urban and Town Sewage Treatment Plant

with the continuous acceleration of urban and town construction, the output of urban and town sewage is also increasing. To a great extent, this promotes the technological development and capacity expansion of urban and town sewage treatment plants. In the process of sewage treatment, a lot of sludge is inevitable. However, many urban and town sewage treatment plants pay more attention to the treatment of sewage and ignore the treatment of sludge. In this way, the sludge without proper treatment can be disposed at will. In the long run, this will not only affect the surrounding environment, but also hinder the development of social economy. Therefore, the urban and town sewage treatment plant should pay enough attention to the application of surplus sludge treatment and disposal technology. In this paper, the main problems existing in the treatment and disposal technology of surplus sludge in urban and town sewage treatment plants, and the treatment and disposal technology of surplus sludge in urban and town sewage treatment plants are both explored and analyzed, hoping to contribute to the long-term development of urban and town sewage treatment plants.

Cooperative Governance of Complex Public‐Private Partnership Program: Case Study of Characteristic Town Program

PPP program is characterized by great organizational complexity, complicated communication network, and high coordination cost, which lead governance problems to be more complex than usual construction projects. Investigating 49 stakeholders of the D characteristic town construction program, the author constructs the work interaction network and supervision network of characteristic town PPP program based on organizational relationship. Through the calculation and comparison of network parameters, the network problems were analyzed, and the governance improvement scheme was proposed. The results show that, during the construction phase of the PPP program, (1) the SPV is still the core stakeholders; (2) the PPP program supervison belongs to hierarchical supervision characteristics and (3) the government regulators and loan institutions have limited influences on the program but they can restrict the SPV by strengthening supervision with subprogram stakeholders.

Universities and the Formation of Edge Cities: Evidence from China's Government‐led University Town Construction

AbstractThis paper examines the localized effect of clusters of universities by exploiting a university town (UT) construction boom in China. We show that UT establishment has generated positive impact on local night‐time light density and population concentration. The UT effect is much localized, and completely decays within 10 km. We emphasize the role of knowledge spillover and find that UT establishment has increased local human capital level. The number of high skill labors as well as high‐tech firms has experienced higher growth in UT districts, as they benefited more from knowledge spillovers. Finally, we find that land prices in the UT have appreciated by 7%‐12% using a unique dataset of land parcel transactions.

Problems and Countermeasures in the Construction of Characteristic Towns—Take Shanghai as an Example

As an important breakthrough to speed up the new-type urbanization, the characteristic towns are conducive to solving the problem of developing kinetic energy transformation in the current supply-side structural reform in China. Shanghai, as a global city, will create several distinctive towns with characteristics that highlighting local culture, which will contribute to the further improvement of regional development and the overall improvement of urban competitiveness. Based on the overall development in Shanghai, this paper fully evaluates the existing resource endowments and development status of Shanghai’s existing characteristic towns through empirical research. Based on this, it sorts out the major bottlenecks and the goals and directions of the construction of characteristic towns from the perspective of “people-oriented”, coordinating the residents’ life, creative talents’ work as well as tourists’ travel. Finally, it gives specific direction and policy initiatives from the layout, characteristics, resource, industry, policy and other aspects to promote the construction of characteristic towns.

Review of Studies on Risk Early Warning of Public-Private Partnership Projects in Characteristic Town

Under the new normal background of China’s economy, the construction of characteristic towns is of great significance for promoting the supply-side reform and also the sustainable development of regional economy. In recent years, the construction of characteristic towns is in full swing, and the PPP financing–model has been introduced to various places due to the difficulty of financing. However, the projects combining a characteristic town with a PPP model are more likely to create risks. Based on literature analysis, this paper summarized the current status of risk identification, risk assessment and risk early warning research of PPP infrastructure projects, in order to draw on the existing research results, construct a theoretical framework for risk analysis and early warning of PPP projects in characteristic towns, which might benefit the future research.
