Development Of City Infrastructure Research Articles

Деятельность Н.И. Буланова на посту городского Головы Ставропольской городской Думы

In 1873, the City Duma was established in Stavropol (now Tolyatti) as the highest body of local government. It was in charge of various issues: the formation of the external appearance of the city, the organization of cultural events, the development of education and healthcare. The functioning of the local government system remains one of the main issues today. Having studied this problem, it can be noted that, based on the accumulated experience, there is a transformation of the relationship between the government and the heads of local government. The authors made an attempt to address the history of the Stavropol City Duma of the 19th century and analyze one of the key figures in the system of self-government – the city Mayor, who occupied a fairly high status due to the concentration of both legislative and executive power in his hands. The focus of the study is on the activities of the City Head of the Stavropol Duma, Nikolai Ivanovich Bulanov, who was born into a merchant family and was able to receive a higher education, which made him very different from his fellow officers. Nikolai Bulanov worked for more than 30 years in the Stavropol city government and during this time made a significant contribution to the development of city infrastructure. The source base is includes materials from the Tolyatti archive: journals of City Duma meetings on issues of city improvement, formal lists, ballot papers for city mayor election, reports of city councils.

Land Cover Change and Food Security in Central Sumba: Challenges and Opportunities in the Decentralization Era in Indonesia

This study focuses on land cover and land management changes in relation to food security and environmental services in a semi-arid area of East Nusa Tenggara (ENT), Indonesia. The study was conducted in the Central Sumba District of ENT province. A classification and regression tree (CART) for land cover classification was analyzed using machine learning techniques through the implementation of the Google Earth Engine. A Focus Group Discussion (FGD) survey followed by in-depth interviews was conducted for primary data collection, involving a total of 871 respondents. The socio-economic data were statistically analyzed descriptively using non-parametric tests. The study showed that (1) there has been a substantial change in land use during the devolution era that has both positive and negative implications for food security and environmental services; (2) there has been population pressure in fertile and agricultural land as a direct impact of the development of city infrastructure; and (3) national intervention through the Food Estate program has fostered and shaped land use change and land management in the Central Sumba District. The study highlights the importance of the devolution spirit in aiding the management of limited arable/agricultural land in predominantly semi-arid areas to ensure food security and environmental services.

Arrangement Strategy of Corridor Madukoro to Support Semarang Urban Tourism

One of Semarang government’s efforts to support urban tourism is airport development. It affects changes in access to and from Ahmad Yani Airport. Madukoro corridor is a priority because it is the first corridor through which migrants from outside Semarang come by air. However, there are issues related to urban tourism in Madukoro corridor, elements that are currently not optimal in supporting tourism activities in Semarang, especially those located around the PRPP destinations, Grand Maerakaca, and Kampung Laut. This study aims to find the most optimal structuring strategy in Madukoro corridor to better support urban tourism in Semarang on the coast, without neglecting its ecological conditions. To be able to explore the potential and identify problems that exist in Madukoro corridor, this research was carried out using a mixed-method in the form of a qualitative method that was quantified by weighing and rating. The study was conducted using a SWOT analysis equipped with a SWOT matrix to determine the most appropriate strategy. This research is also equipped with a strategic analysis of internal factors (IFAS) and external factors (EFAS) so that the score values can be converted on a quadrant graph to determine the type of strategy that should be used. From the results of the SWOT analysis, to develop urban tourism the strategy taken is progressive, prioritizing according to Weakness-Opportunity strategies, with implications for the physical development of city infrastructure, utilization of commercial buildings in the surrounding area, ease of accessibility to Grand Maerakaca, and Kampung Laut as well as improving the quality of the Nodes that affect the spatial pattern of regional circulation and regional landmark.

SPATIAL MOBILITY OF CHILDREN GOING TO SCHOOL IN THE ARCHIPELAGO OF INDONESIA: A REVIEW

The mobility of children going to school plays an important role in their quality of life. Hence, spatial planning and the development of city infrastructure should meet the needs of children. Home, school, and the surrounding city influence children’s character and growth. Children’s spatial mobility in the Archipelago of Indonesia is still not fulfilling the framework of a child-friendly environment. This study aims to review the parameters of children’s spatial mobility in Indonesia’s archipelago, suggesting the degree of fulfilment of a child-friendly environment. A review of seven local and national electronic media coverages to elicit the parameters of Indonesia’s children’s environment. The coverages include Liputan6, Radar Sriwijaya, Medan Headlines, Detiknews, Hipwee, CNN Indonesia, and Merdeka.com from 2015 to 2021. Three themes were identified from the coverage, including (1) basic services (education and transport), (2) safety and security, (3) family, kin, peers, and community. It is found that education and transport are the essential services that are not equipped for the children’s mobility, especially those living on the islands. Thus, the lack of transportation infrastructure is a strong influence and appears in the dynamics of the development of the spatial mobility of children in the Indonesian Archipelago.

Roadmap for Future Mobility Development Supporting Bangkok Urban Living in 2030

This study demonstrates how to develop a roadmap guiding a company’s technology and innovation for future mobility by integrating the results from foresight and scenario analysis. The key drivers and trends influencing the urban development of Bangkok in the next 10 years were determined through the environmental scanning approach. The participatory approach was then applied to get stakeholders involved to enrich scenario thinking. The participants were invited from many social networks involved in city development in Bangkok. The scenario development was framed according to livability and city infrastructure development. As mobility is always the key issue for big cities, future development for mobility can be addressed in terms of different aspects such as filling stations, clean fuel, public transportation, shared mobility platforms, or last-mile traveling. A roadmap to guide future development of shared mobility was developed based on the analysis of the particular company in the case study.

Digitization of Urban Heritage Preservation Practices for Vilnius City

For UNESCO Heritage site Vilnius City, urban heritage preservation (UHP) is an important task aimed at monitoring various risks associated with preservation of heritage valuables in urban heritage areas. Those valuables can be small and large, tangible and intangible: building façade, building doors, windows, roof elements, gates, panorama view on a heritage site, heights of the building, volumes of the building, etc. Risks to heritage valuables may vary from gradual and cumulative processes (such as age-related degradation) to sudden and catastrophic events (such as floods, fires, or armed conflict). There are also risks connected to the intentional or unintentional destruction of cultural heritage. Those usually are the cases of city infrastructure development and purposeful rebuilding of the heritage objects.

Влияние возраста захоронений на ферментативную активность почв кладбищ Батайска

Cemeteries are an integral part of any city's infrastructure development. They occupy vast areas, but still remain poorly studied. Original ecosystems are formed on these territories, which can be refugiums for animals, plants and soils. The aim of the work was to determine the effect of burial age on the enzymatic activity of cemetery soils. The time range from the time of burial was from 1 year to 72 years. As a result, it was found that the maximum activity of enzymes is confined to the surface layer of soils. Invertase activity has the greatest dependence on the time from the moment of burial. Keywords: BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY, CLOSING SOILS, NECROSEMS

Organization Of Leisure In The Cities Of Karakalpakstan In 1960-1980

Organization of leisure of the population in the cities of Karakalpakstan in 1960-1980sis analyzed in the article as well as the meaning of the ‘leisure’ term is determined. The cultural leisure of townspeople was sufficiently divorced. The organization of the leisure was based not only on the party and state directions, but on active amateur involvement of the population groups in cultural life of the regions. Development of city infrastructure and increase of living standards of the population required improvement in all fields of industry and livelihood of the society. The peculiarity of leisure organization for Soviet citizens is uncovered in the article. It differs by its ideological purpose and intension to involve citizens into achievement of the goals stated by the government for the industrial enterprises. The methodology of the research is based on local materials. In this research we focused on specifics and problems of leisure and recreation activities of Karakalpak region during the studied period of time. The scientific novelty of the research is that the research of the leisure and recreation activities within the period from 1960’s to 1980’s has been studied for the first time in Karakalpakstan. The social problems of the region and ways to solve these problems by the government of the Republic were studied on the basis of statistic data, archives and articles of that period.

On strategy for the development of multifunctional social infrastructure complexes in the ‘Smart City’ paradigm

Subject. The article describes the findings of the authors of fundamental strategic decisions on the formation of multifunctional urban complexes, using the housing demand and supply criterion. Objectives. We undertake a comprehensive study aimed at perfecting the methodology for evaluating the options for city infrastructure development at two stages, i.e. strategic, when general targets of feasible commissioning are determined, and current, when parameters of demand for facilities are taken into account. Methods. The study employs methods of expert survey, statistical data processing, predictive and investigative analysis. Results. We explored factors of creating amenities and comfort in residential construction areas, developed an algorithm to calculate the volume of new living space commissioning on the basis of evaluating demands in the Smart City paradigm. Conclusions. The study shows the cost increase depending on the built-up area, number of floors, and the balance between the type of capacity and the number of residents in the quarter (linear relationship).

Analysis of city centrality based on entropy weight TOPSIS and population mobility: A case study of cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt

Based on statistical data and population flow data for 2016, and using entropy weight TOPSIS and the obstacle degree model, the centrality of cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB) together with the factors influencing centrality were measured. In addition, data for the population flow were used to analyze the relationships between cities and to verify centrality. The results showed that: (1) The pattern of centrality conforms closely to the pole-axis theory and the central geography theory. Two axes, corresponding to the Yangtze River and the Shanghai-Kunming railway line, interconnect cities of different classes. On the whole, the downstream cities have higher centrality, well-defined gradients and better development of city infrastructure compared with cities in the middle and upper reaches. (2) The economic scale and size of the population play a fundamental role in the centrality of cities, and other factors reflect differences due to different city classes. For most of the coastal cities or the capital cities in the central and western regions, factors that require long-term development such as industrial facilities, consumption, research and education provide the main competitive advantages. For cities that are lagging behind in development, transportation facilities, construction of infrastructure and fixed asset investment have become the main methods to achieve development and enhance competitiveness. (3) The mobility of city populations has a significant correlation with the centrality score, the correlation coefficients for the relationships between population mobility and centrality are all greater than 0.86 (P<0.01). The population flow is mainly between high-class cities, or high-class and low-class cities, reflecting the high centrality and huge radiating effects of high-class cities. Furthermore, the cities in the YREB are closely linked to Guangdong and Beijing, reflecting the dominant economic status of Guangdong with its geographical proximity to the YREB and Beijing’s enormous influence as the national political and cultural center, respectively.

LUTSK CITY SPACE EVOLUTION UNDER MODERNIZATION CONDITIONS (END OF THE XIXTH – BEGINNING OF THE XXTH CENTURY)

purpose of the article is to analyze Lutsk city space evolution at the turn of the XIXth and XXth centuries by analyzing the network of educational institutionsʼ development in the city and the city territory arrangement. The methodology of the research is based on the principles of historicism, scientificity, the authorʼs objectivity and the use of the general scientific (analysis, synthesis, generalization) and special-historical (historical-typological, historical-systemic) methods. The criticism and classification methods were applied at the archival materials processing stage. The scientific novelty is that for the first time on the basis of the archival materials Lutsk povit development has been illustrated, its territory expansion, the urbanization improvement and the urban population increase have been depicted at the turn of the century, which was the result of urbanization as a manifestation of modernization processes. These processes spheres of life has been determined. The Conclusions. One of the modernization manifestations of the second half of the XIXth century was the urbanization processes, which resulted in the increase in the number of cities and towns, territorially increasing existing urban settlements. The modernization also affected Lutsk povit, having a decisive influence on the development of its cultural, educational and territorial space. We have considered the evolution of the educational institutionsʼ network in the city, the cemeteries and squares organization, the urban improvements are some of the most striking examples of the urban space evolution, but not the last. There is a need for a comprehensive study of the city infrastructure development – the city streets construction and improvement, their electrification, the telephone communications emergence, the water supply and more. Due to the ethno-confessional diversity of the city, a separate and thorough study dedicated to the Lutsk City Society should be carried out. Therefore, both special and general works on Lutsk development history in terms of modernization conditions are not only possible but also necessary in the future.

Constantly operating geoinformation system for geoenvironment as a tool for pre-project investigations in city infrastructure development (on the example of moscow)

The concept of a geoinformation system for urban geoenvironment is concerned. Geological data is necessary for the sustainable development of city infrastructure. The municipal departments should use geological and environmental information for perspective planning, selecting the location for important infrastructure objects, solving ecologycal problems, and in decision making. The concept includes a preliminary list of system’s users, their informational needs, main functionalities, methodical approaches to the system design and development. Geological data must contain source documents from geological archives “as is” and geodata based on its interpretation for various tasks. These data must be checked carefully and updated with new engineering-geological investigations. Geoinformation system must integrate various geological, engineering-geological, hydrogeological, and environmental data. Sophisticated procedures must be provided to check complicated logical dependences in the system database and to analyze contradictions between source documents. 3D modeling is an adequate language for presenting geological data, therefore, the considered system must include 3D models of various scales. In the suggested concept 3D modeling is considered as a tool for investigations, not only for presentations. The end users should have possibilities to get results of their queries in various formats: tables, geological and thematic maps, geological cross-sections, 2D and 3D grids as source data for mathematical modeling, etc. In conclusion, the paper briefly describes IEG RAS activities in GIS technologies for geological cartography and 3D modeling.

Sustainable Urban Development as a Driver of Safety System Development of the Urban Underground

Sustainable development of cities around the world is a means of providing a high quality of city environment and living standards of the population. One of the main aspects of sustainable development of city infrastructure is social stability, which involves among others the criteria of transport safety and reliability. Nowadays transport infrastructure objects, especially in big cities, are in focus of increased attention from the safety and security arrangement point of view. Provided that, the purpose of the paper is to develop a mechanism of continuous monitoring, testing and improvement of transport safety system in order to provide its ability to adequately respond to new challenges of the environment. The paper describes an approach to the development of safety system and emergency situations management, based on the concept of “enterprise architecture”. The approach involves analysis and testing of existing safety and emergency regulations and personnel instructions using a specific simulation software, and further correction of the regulations and instructions basing on the results of the analysis. The proposed approach was tested in Saint Petersburg Underground (Russia). Such kind of approach potentially could be implemented into practice of not only underground transport systems, but for other types of transport enterprises as well.

John Fletcher and The Development of Water Supply and Sanitation in Durban, 1889–1918

The introduction and augmentation of water supply and sanitary reform were amongst the primary municipal issues in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in South Africa. The most important parts of Durban's early water supply and sanitation infrastructure were built during the tenure of John Fletcher as a town engineer in 1889–1918. This article concentrates on the building of this infrastructure and the role and ideas of Fletcher during his tenure. The article goes through the augmenting of the water supply systems, the construction of Durban's waterborne sewerage system and the related sanitary and drainage issues. Attention is also paid to the development of Fletcher's ideas about water consumption and water metering. There are also some references here to the connection of racial issues and infrastructure building, but this has purposely been kept as a side issue, as the proper examination of this connection would require an article of its own. The purpose of the article is not to raise John Fletcher on a pedestal, but to focus on him as an official whose relatively long tenure may be used as a frame for illuminating processes such as urbanization and the development of city infrastructure, and the role of the municipal engineer in these processes.

From Sewers to Suburbs

Central city infrastructure development in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, in areas such as sewerage, water works, street lighting, and street pavement, was an important cause of suburban municipal autonomy by the time of the Great Depression. Suburban autonomy was in turn an important factor in the racial and economic transformations that were visible in central cities by the 1950s. Thus, although central city infrastructure development was a classic developmental policy, it led to a central city politics that emphasized fiscal retrenchment and racialized poverty. This argument provides an important new perspective to the study of urban politics because it suggests that suburban autonomy was an intermediate process by which city policies transformed the context in which they were initially formulated. Evidence is provided for this argument through four OLS regression models that indicate a statistically significant relationship between central city infrastructure development in 1907 and suburban population growth in the 1930s and 1940s.

Discovery and Studies of the Jinsha Site

The Jinsha 金沙 Site was discovered in February 8,2001. Between then and March 2003, a savage archaeological endeavor that involved the field strategies of subsurface probing and extensive excavation had been carried out in coordination with the city's infrastructure development. The project revealed some of the basic features of the site.
