Research on the Management of Residents in Resettlement Communities in the Yellow River Beach Area: A Case Study of H Community in Jinan City

In recent years, China has attached great importance to the development of the Yellow River coastal areas and formulated many promotion policies for this purpose. The relocation and resettlement of residents in the Yellow River beach area is one of them. The implementation of this measure has enabled the people in the beach area to move out of the Yellow River coast in an orderly manner, ensuring the safety of residents and making their lives more convenient. At the same time, it also promotes the construction of new rural communities. H community is a typical community for relocation in Huanghe Beach District, Jinan City. This study conducted semi-structured interviews with residents of different identities and occupations in the H community, and conducted field research for a period of time to point out the governance status and difficulties of the H community. Based on the research, suggestions were proposed for similar communities and problems.

A new perspective to understand public response to the Typhoon Doksuri from coastal and inland regions

Massive amounts of data from social media possess the potential to rapidly identify the primary issues of concern in emergency disaster management. In summer 2023, Super Typhoon Doksuri which was an exceptionally special typhoon disaster that caused severe damage to China's coastal areas and disastrous impacts in inland regions, particularly triggered the most severe rainstorm in Beijing area in over a century. To enhance typhoon hazard reduction in both coastal and interior locations, it is crucial to examine public response to these events. This study uses microblog text data from July 27 to August 3 of 2023 to map the public response to Typhoon Doksuri. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm was used to classify the microblog text in combination with the typhoon path to analyze the spatial and temporal variations of the emotions of the affected individuals. The relationship between changes in public opinion, the distribution of topics, and the major disasters triggered by the residual circulation of Typhoon Doksuri in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is discussed. The Mentougou mega-storm in Beijing area that occurred in July 2023 is a typical case. The findings demonstrate that during the typhoon event, the focus of public attention changed with the movement of the typhoon path, and various public opinion topics exhibited temporal synchronization. Public sentiment indicates that the overall supportive sentiment is higher than is fearful sentiment. Based on this, it is crucial to strengthen the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei cooperative emergency response, and response measures were proposed related to urban flood control and drainage construction, public awareness, backward areas, secondary disasters, resident relocation, and social media technology.

Relocation of Rempang residents due to state-owned land

The government's obligation is to manage land for public and private purposes in accordance with the mandate of Article 33 Paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution which states that land, air and natural resources are controlled by the state for the greatest prosperity of the people. The relocation of Rempang residents became news that was conveyed because it received resistance from local residents and was a resonant action as a result of Presidential Decree Number 41 of 1973 which stated that the management rights of Batam Island were handed over to the Batam Authority, which means that the entire island area located on Batam Island was handed over with rights status management to Batam authorities. The legal issues raised by the author are first, how is the relocation of Rempang residents over control of state-owned land and second, what are the legal consequences of the relocation of Rempang residents over control of state-owned land. The aim to be achieved by this author is to analyze the implementation of the relocation of Rempang residents over control of stateowned land and to analyze the legal results of the relocation of Rempang residents over control of state-owned land.

Urban Transformation in Old Cities of China: From Heritage Preservation to Urban Renewal

With the rapid advancement of urbanization and the continuous growth of the economy in China, old urban areas face unprecedented challenges. Issues such as urban renewal, preservation of historical heritage, and relocation of residents have become crucial factors constraining sustainable urban development. Addressing these issues not only concerns the appearance and function of cities but also involves the inheritance of social and cultural values and the quality of life for urban residents. This article delves into the current status, challenges, and future directions of the transformation of China's old cities. Research indicates that while there have been some advancements in the revitalization of old cities in recent years, a series of complex and urgent challenges persist. In terms of historical heritage preservation, the main issues include inadequate policy safeguards, insufficient funding, and low societal participation. Urban renewal grapples with conflicts between historical preservation and development needs, balancing costs and benefits, and challenges related to resident relocation and social stability. Looking ahead, it is recommended to strengthen policy and regulations, diversify funding sources, and enhance societal participation. Regarding urban renewal, efforts should be made to strike a balance between preserving historical heritage and meeting development demands, emphasize cost-benefit evaluations, and formulate humane relocation policies. Future development directions encompass enhancing planning and design, promoting participation from social organizations and residents, fostering technological innovation and sustainable development, and strengthening oversight and evaluations.

A progress of Public-Private Partnerships in São Paulo's housing policy: challenges and conflicts in accessing decent housing

The article aims to analyze the advancement of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in housing for social interest in the central area of São Paulo. Based on a literature review and document research, it was found that such partnerships have presented limitations in providing housing for the low-income population, leading to conflicts and displacements in strategic areas of interest to the real estate market. This facilitates investor access to housing services and allows construction companies to use urban planning tools for economic exploitation and the mobilization of public lands in the city. Housing PPPs come in a context of weakened housing policies and increased private sector involvement in public services, driven by neoliberal thinking. This situation raises questions about the effectiveness of PPPs in meeting the needs of vulnerable populations living in inadequate or deficient housing. Financing difficulties for lower-income families and the displacements carried out for new housing developments have led to the relocation of local residents and workers, some of whom have been pushed into environmentally fragile and peripheral areas. As a result, there is a growing role of the private sector in decisions regarding the production of housing for social interest, which not only fails to extend its reach to the poorest groups but also creates problems related to urban density and urban sprawl. These issues need to be addressed to promote more just and sustainable cities in their social, environmental, and economic aspects, committed to reducing inequalities, socio-spatial segregation, and promoting democratic governance in cities.

Gentrification in a World Heritage Site: The Strategy for Preserving the Hue Citadel in Vietnam

This article describes gentrification around the Hue citadel in central Vietnam, which is now designated as World Heritage. Gentrification occurs across almost all urban areas and is taking place in Hue through the relocation of residents from the heritage area by the government in order to preserve cultural heritage against the pressures of urbanization. Based on qualitative methods with in-depth interviews and document analysis, this research article examines the initiation and evolution of the gentrification process in Hue, where the state takes the lead and follows four stages: (1) compensation, (2) resettlement, (3) displacement, and (4) renovation. Gentrification of the area brings positive outcomes for the urban façade and provides benefits for the city; on the other hand, it impacts neighborhoods and residents in many ways. Gentrification not only depends on the activities and directions of the state, but also requires and influences the consent of the people. Hence, gentrification is a complicated and endless process which causes many social conflicts. However, it is a Western concept, so it is necessary to investigate and develop it appropriately in the context of Vietnam, an Asian country. Keywords: Gentrification, World Heritage site, Strategy, Preservation, Hue citadel, Vietnam.

Green area extraction with using NDVI and ArcGIS pro for Nitra cadastral area

In recent years, the influence of humanity on nature has been increasing, and the fact that it is especially negative worries scientists. During the life of plants, based on the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere by humans and turns it into oxygen gas, which is important for breathing. This process is unique to plants and its alternatives have not been found, so it is important to maintain the balance of green plants and humans on the planet. It is necessary to control the exploitation of natural areas by people. In these studies, we determined the relationship between man and nature by compiling the NDVI index based on the images of the high-resolution satellite of remote sensing of the earth Sentinel-2 and analyzing it based on the GIS program. According to the results of the research, the current cadastral map of the Nitra cadastral area needs to be changed, as compared to the previous one, the area of green plants has expanded by 3.1% due to the reduction of the construction area. That is, it has expanded from 206.17 hectares to 235.59 hectares. The reason for this is the demolition of low-rise buildings and the construction of high- rise buildings for residents, as well as the relocation of residents to these buildings. Low-rise buildings are demolished and returned to nature. GIS did not take much time to load and analyze the data to study the results and draw conclusions. Therefore, GIS is not only resource-saving, but also an important tool for speedy data analysis and quick decision-making. The accuracy of the results was checked based on the previously created cadastral map.

Restructuring Nepalese Societies Through Residential Relocation and it's Social Effects

This paper focuses to voluntary relocation of residents of Nepalese society and its effects on social relationship which unfolds the restructuring and transforming old residential structure of Nepalese society. Some scholars attribute the individual factors to the residential relocation and exemplify the life-cycle changes of household heads or household composition such as the age, employment or marital status of the household head and the number of children (Rossi, 1955, p. 24). They believe that the increase of marriage rate and fertility rate are determinative conditions for the residential relocation and rapid expansion of suburban areas. Besides these arguments, many scholars have embraced various facets of social change with residential relocation and find that most residents move to significantly higher income and less racially segregated suburban neighbourhoods with access to better infrastructure, services, and amenities (Deluca et al., 2005; Diewald and Mayer, 2009). Suburban growth is propelled by transportation and technology development such as mass-produced automobiles and highways. It is interesting social phenomenon in Nepal that the residents on hilly side and remote areas are relocating slightly downward and near to market areas. This paper follows field work on Lele valley, Lalitpur district which is emerging suburban area. It finds that people prefer to relocate their residents near to market and transport facilities creating a new social relationship. . It is found that they relocate their residents because of income sent from their family members who are in foreign employment or they sell their land. They introduce a new type of nexus and relationship with new neighbors who are not among their kinship and start bounding in every occasion.

A new method of seismic strengthening stone masonry with CRM coatings on one side

The paper presents the results of a research study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of composite-reinforced mortar (CRM) for the seismic strengthening of existing stone masonry walls. The experimental research focused on the strengthening performance of a coating applied only on one side of the masonry wall. Such an application is interesting because it does not require the temporary relocation of residents. The historic two-wythe stone masonry used in the research represents Adriatic’s coastal and surrounding regions. The coating was made of hydraulic lime mortar reinforced with a glass fibre–reinforced polymer mesh attached to the wall using two types of anchors. In-plane cyclic shear compression tests and cyclic out-of-plane tests were conducted, and the performances of the coating on one and both sides were compared. The results showed that the coating on one side was effective, improving all aspects of the seismic response, which was successfully simulated using existing design models.

LEGAL SECURITY OF OWNERSHIP OF LAND CERTIFICATES POST EXCHANGING FOREST AREA FOR RESIDENTS RELOCATION IN NGROTO DUSUN, WONOGIRI, CENTRAL JAVA

This study aims to discuss the description of the implementation process of exchanging forest areas for the relocation of residents and legal certainty of ownership of community land certificates after the relocation of community forest area exchanges in Dusun Ngroto. The research method used in this research is juridical-empirical descriptive by using qualitative data analysis methods to review literature and events that actually occurred through observation and interviews. The research location is in Ngroto Hamlet, Pare Village, Selogiri District, Wonogiri Regency. The results of the discussion found that 1 )The background to the relocation was due to the fact that in March 1999 in the Ngroto Hamlet area a landslide occurred resulting in as many as 43 family cards (115 people), supporting factors for relocation including social relations, economy, community involvement and participation with the government while the inhibiting factors are infrastructure, policies that underlie relocation based on humanitarian considerations. 2) Legal certainty of ownership of land certificates after the relocation residents have not obtained the rights to the land they occupy regarding evidence of land certificates, the Wonogiri Regency Government is in the process of eliminating the land ownership rights of residents who have been victims of the landslide disaster 11.66 Ha (Eleven and Sixty Six One Hundred Hectares) with a replacement land obligation of 13.11 Ha (Thirte

MODERN CHANGES OF THE URBAN HEAT ISLAND IN MOSCOW

According to the data of weather stations for the period 1991–2020, as well as radiometric measurements of the surface temperature TS of Moscow region by Terra and Aqua satellites for the period 2000–2020, the daily course and long-term changes of the urban ‘heat island’ (UHI) of Moscow in the field of both the air temperature T at a height of 2 m and the TS were studied. For the analysis of TS 1379 satellite images were selected for 21 years in clear and slightly cloudy sky, when the UHI analysis is possible. The average annual values of TS were obtained using their normalization for separate seasons. The daily course of Moscow UHI in the air is weakly expressed, especially when compared with the countryside not only of the city center, but also of its entire area: only the weakening of this phenomenon in autumn and in the pre-winter season (from October to December) is reliable. According to satellite data, the ‘surface UHI’ is marked by a maximum in June-July with the strongest vegetation development, a minimum in autumn when leaves fall, and intermediate values in winter and spring. The rapid growth of T took place in 1991–2020 both in Moscow and in rural areas with approximately the same speed. As a result, there have been no statistically significant directional changes in the UHI intensity both in the air and on the surface as a whole over the past 20–30 years. The probable reasons for the general stabilization of the UHI in Moscow are both natural and socio-economic factors: the approximate constancy of the probability of clear weather (which promotes the strengthening of this phenomenon) and the vegetative activity in the region (which determines heat losses due to transpiration by plants), slowing down and stopping the growth of the population and energy consumption of the city, as well as its deindustrialization. Additional reasons are the gradual relocation of residents to the new outskirts of Moscow, as well as quarantine restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

The reproduction of informal settlements in Santiago: Housing policy, cycles of repopulation and the ‘politics of poverty’ as a regime of government

This article analyses the persistence of informal settlements in the city of Santiago, Chile, between 1990 and 2018, a period of democratic governments characterised by falling poverty rates and – paradoxically – state efforts to reduce informality by increasing the provision of housing for low-income groups. Based on a qualitative study that includes document analysis and interviews with poor urban residents and governmental actors, I describe one mechanism of informal housing reproduction: the cyclical repopulation of informal urbanisations, that is, the intertwined processes of relocation of informal residents and the reoccupation of settlement sites by new families. In contrast to dichotomous understandings of informality that explain informal housing as produced by residents’ poverty, the article shows that repopulation cycles respond to a regime of government structured around what I call a ‘politics of poverty’, a framework that labels informal settlements as ‘spatial concentrations of poverty’, therefore creating spatial zones of intervention. While this helps the state to target informal settlements as subjects of poverty policies, residents mobilise the policy’s categories to legitimate informal practices.

Identifying the Groundwater Sources of Huangtupo Landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area of China

Groundwater plays a crucial role in triggering and reactivating deep-seated landslides. However, classical hydrogeological investigations have limitations in their applicability to deep-seated landslides due to anisotropic and heterogeneous media. The Huangtupo landslide in the Three Gorges Reservoir area has garnered significant attention due to its high hazard potential. Of particular interest is the NO.1 Riverside Sliding Mass (HTP-1), which has shown notable deformation and has become the primary focus of landslide research. The study aims to investigate the sources of water in the HTP-1 landslide through hydrochemical analysis. This was achieved by monitoring the major ion content in the groundwater within the landslide for one year. Furthermore, stable isotope investigations were conducted on the groundwater in and around the landslide area, and an analysis of the mineral composition of the landslide soil was also performed. The results indicate that the groundwater in the landslide area (LGW) is a mixture of karst groundwater (KGW) from the adjacent upslope and local precipitation (LP). The karst groundwater is a major contributor to the recharge of the landslide groundwater system, causing a high component of groundwater that can easily exceed the critical level that causes landside failure during heavy rainfall events. Furthermore, prior to the relocation of residents from the Huangtupo landslide, the landslide groundwater was also impacted by human sewage, which not only affected the chemical composition of groundwater, but also had potential implications for slope stability. These findings provide a more scientific basis for the design and implementation of interception and drainage measures for the Huangtupo landslide and other large-scale landslides with similar geological conditions in the Three Gorges Reservoir area.

Causal effect of metro operation on regional resident mobility considering zone-based trip time reliability

The full use of underground space is recognized as a necessary means to improve the accessibility of residents and change the spatial distribution of urban population. The dividends generated by the metro operation will increase as the increases in the number of residents attracted to the zone. However, when the number of residents within the zone exceeds a certain threshold, travel accessibility may be reduced by exceeding the optimal service capacity of the metro, which leads to a decline in the per capita dividend. This paper uses the zone-based trip time reliability (TTR) to represent travel accessibility, and describes the interaction between the zone-based TTR and regional resident mobility. A generalized boosted method based Rubin causal model with longitudinal data was adopted to investigate the impacts of the improvement of zone-based TTR by metro operation on regional resident mobility. Then, an approximate BPR function was established to represent the feedback impact of regional resident mobility on zone-based TTR. Five typical areas considering population, average age, income level and land value are proposed to recognize the resident spatial re-segmentation rule. The results show that the metro operation has a significant impact on the regional resident mobility. And the improvement of zone-based TTR by metro operation is more attractive for resident relocation in Mixed and Stable areas than in Vibrant and Siphonic areas under the similar location distance. This paper intends to indicate the trade-off between zone-based trip time reliability (TTR) and regional resident mobility, and provide a reference for the development and utilization of urban underground space.

Spatiotemporal development of informal settlements in Cape Town, 2000 to 2020: An open data approach

Informal settlements are a major urban residential form globally yet they are marginalized in planning and policymaking. As part of wider interest in geospatial technologies to inform service provision and settlement upgrading, this study demonstrates the use of freely-available satellite and spatial datasets and accessible remote sensing techniques to track the spatiotemporal dynamics of informal settlements. Focusing on Cape Town over a period of rapid urbanization between 2000 and 2020, this study identified the number, location, and spatial distribution of informal settlements across the city, and the growth and decline in built-up land over time for individual settlements. Key findings include a recent increase in informal land use in Cape Town after a period of decline in the earlier part of the study period, and evidence of the impacts of policy interventions such as settlement upgrading and resident relocation initiatives, including those associated with the N2 Gateway project. By focusing on both the ‘where’ and ‘when’ of informal settlements this study provides important evidence of spatial and temporal dynamics useful for governments and grassroots actors alike, and demonstrates the potential of an accessible method that can be implemented without significant resources or technical expertise.

Unveiling the Mind: A Comprehensive Review of Psychiatric Disorders in Parkinson’s Disease

Abstract Background/Aim: The primary objective of this research was to evaluate the findings and conclusions presented in existing literature articles pertaining to mental illnesses in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Patients and Methods: The study used a patients and methods approach. The study also comprised studies and papers that provided information on clinical aspects, as well as links and correlations between Parkinson’s disease and mental illnesses. Results: Symptoms of mental disorders are extremely prevalent in PD, but they are frequently undetected, undertreated, and overlooked if not evaluated precisely. Neuropsychiatric disorders of Parkinson’s disease divide into a number of major groups: anxiety and mood disorders, psychosis, behavioral modifications such as sexual disorders, impulse control disorders, dopaminergic medication abuse, and sleeping disorders. Conclusion: The majority of mental health conditions in PD are treatable, and failure to do so has a negative impact. Numerous investigations demonstrate that psychiatric symptoms influence the quality of life more than motor manifestations. Depression seems to be associated with deterioration in cognitive performance, tasks associated with everyday living, and motor performance and might have the greatest influence on the quality of life in PD. Psychosis is the leading cause of caretaker concern and a significant predictor of nursing residence relocation. The objective of therapy for mental illnesses in PD ought to include remission; inadequate treatment must be avoided.

Тверские Китежи и Атлантиды. Архаический миф в современном исполнении

The city is a natural expression of human civilization, and it is the only place where the formation of man could have begun. The temple was the city`s heart, it was there that the deified fire and, consequently, life itself was kept alive. There are two versions of the temple-city: the immaculate virgin-city (Jerusalem) and the sinful harlot-city (Babylon), and respectively two versions of their destiny: Kitezh or Atlantis. The space of the Tver region, including the cities whose destiny is connected with water, is constantly being mythologized. In legends like that of the invisible city of Kitezh they tell about churches or villages that went under water, not specifying the causes of these phenomena, or stressing out that these catastrophes came to be a punishment for unnamed sins. According to a legend of the early 2000s Kitezh-grad (the Kitezh-city, now no longer having anything in common with the virgin-city) was located exactly in the Tver region, on the bank of the Mologa river in the Maksatikhinsky district. However, by now, after the death of its author, this legend has ceased to be relevant and is found only in the documents of the 2000s. In contrast with the Tver Kitezh, the phrase the Tver Atlantis has recently become more and more stable in the Tver region as a tourist brand. This concept is applied to the cities that were flooded during the construction of hydroelectric power stations on the Volga river: Korcheva, Kalyazin, the bell tower of which spawned a number of legends, and Vesyegonsk. The Tver “Atlantis” was no harlot, and died not for its sins, but on the orders of the Soviet government. Therefore, the national consciousness confers to the submerged places the qualities of sanctity and purity. The Tver Kitezh is not the virgin-Kitezh, and it perishes for its sins, while the Tver Atlantis is not the harlot-Atlantis, and the stories of the flooded cities contain no hints of their sinfulness; on the contrary, emphasis is made on their holiness and righteousness. We cannot say that invariant mythological models have been forgotten, but they are working in the opposite direction. This change can be explained by the fact that the relocation of residents and the flooding of cities did not take place “by God’s will”, but on the decision of the worldly authority, and that their residents did not view those facts as a punishment for their sins. The way of thinking remains mythological, even though people are not aware of the fact.

Environment or (Collective) Human Rights: What Is More Important?

This article reflects on the ‘Yellowstone model’ of environmental conservation while considering the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)/ International Council of Monuments and Sites /International Union for Conservation of Nature’s recommendation on the voluntary relocation of Maasai residents from the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) in Tanzania. While advocating for an inclusive conservation approach, it synthesizes the extent to which the relocation has affected the collective socioeconomic and cultural rights of the Maasai in the property. It discusses the concept of Yellowstone conservation model, and subsequently traces the legal background to the existence of the Maasai in the NCA. The NCA’s statuses as a UNESCO heritage site of outstanding universal value, international biosphere reserve, and a global geo-park are also canvassed in the light of multiple-land use model. It further critically discusses the practical impacts of controlling the growing Maasai population at the site through induced voluntary relocation. The authors have drawn lessons from the Inter-American human rights system on the same area of conservation. Ultimately, the article concludes with practical recommendations and proposed issues for further research on this controversial topic.

Analysis of Landslide Prone Areas as the Basis for Landslide Disaster Mitigation in Bungbulang District of Garut Regency

Landslides are natural disasters that often result in property losses, fatalities and damage to public facilities. This research aims to map landslide-prone locations and determine mitigation strategies that are appropriate to the conditions of the region at the research site. The parameters used to determine landslide prone areas refer to the standards that have been set by Puslitanak Bogor, namely, rainfall, slope slopes, land use, geological structures, and soil types. Overlay, scoring, weighting, and classification methods are carried out on all five parameters by utilizing software based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Landslide distribution point with a very high category of land movement is found in all villages in Bungbulang District with an overall area of ±218 ha but there are five villages that have a very large threat of loss to the economy and even fatalities including Bojong Village, Mekarbakti Village, Cihikeu Village, Mekarjaya Village and Wangun Jaya Village. Based on the map of the spread of landslide potential that has been made, a structural mitigation strategy is needed in the form of building a ground retaining wall (TPT) in Bojong Village which is at the coordinate point utm X 789824,828282 Y 9175193,14279, Mekarbakti Village with coordinate point UTM X 788411.150969 Y 9178084,18717, Mekarjaya Village with coordinate point UTM X 784761.725735 Y 9175112.74001, relocation of residents' settlements in Wangun jaya Village with utm X coordinate point X 781667.425142 Y 9177593.35493, and the transfer of land functions in Cihikeu Village with coordinate point UTM X 786159.83242 Y 9177593.35493, as well as by improving maintenance of existing infrastructure infrastructure. Education to the community is also very necessary in maintaining and improving the carrying capacity of the environment, so as to create a resilient and ready society for disaster threats.

The new growth machine and neighborhood redevelopment in the Chinese cities of the Xijinping era: The case of Jinsong, Beijing

This study examines Jinsong, a typical old and dilapidated Beijing neighborhood that has recently been renewed, as an example of the changing dynamics of urban redevelopment in Xijinping-era China. During the past several years, a new round of urban redevelopment has begun, the modalities of which have not yet been fully explored. I argue that a new growth machine (NGM) is in the making, differing from the old mode of mass destruction, reconstruction, and resident relocation in that it features micro, incremental, and in situ redevelopments. To examine this NGM, this paper sheds light upon the case of Jinsong, with an analysis largely based on fieldwork, surveys, and semi-structured interviews with various stakeholders involved in the neighborhood’s redevelopment process. In comparison to the old growth machine, the NGM moves more slowly and yields profits on a smaller scale. The NGM is still state-oriented, and there is a strong coalition of state and market enterprises through which the state achieves its political goal of ‘people-centered’ development; the market enterprises, however, also generate revenues in innovative ways, largely through property management, assetization, and the deeper marketization of neighborhood space.
