Bronze casting in Late Antiquity in the Marche Region

This essay reviews the discovery of three sites where deposits of bronze fragments have been found, in the Roman cities of Pisaurum, Sentinum and Potentia. Each site yielded small bronze fragments and some tools, which lead us to suppose that these were sites of Late Antique foundries, where large bronze statues and other bronze objects were broken up to be remelted. The foundries were located on land previously occupied by taverns in the forum area or by residential quarters. This means that the urban plan of the cities had already been partially transformed, probably due to Christianisation and the construction of churches, which became the new community centres, to the detriment of the older areas of the forum. The rampant poverty and shortage of raw materials, especially metals, made foundries indispensable and, consequently, their widespread presence, even within the cities, probably became customary. Perhaps the numerous bronze fragments found in other centres of the region should also be interpreted in this same sense, as indications of foundries, even if the structures where the metal was worked have not been preserved.

Framework for analyzing the relationship between supply, demand, and flow of recreational services in urban park green spaces

Regular recreational activities in urban park green spaces are beneficial to the physical and mental health of residents. The supply capacity of, the residents’ demand for, and the actual flow of recreational services must be distinguished and evaluated to promote the fair and reasonable layout of urban park green spaces. However, the unit dimensions of the supply, demand, and flow indexes of recreational services are often inconsistent or only in simple semiquantitative forms, which cannot be directly compared and analyzed. Thus, this study constructed a research framework of “potential supply/demand–pressure/accessibility–actual supply/demand” for recreational services, and the framework was tested using the central urban area of Xuchang as the experimental area. Results show the following: (1) A spatial mismatch exists in the supply–demand relationship of recreational services in the study area; this relationship is reflected in the semicircular layer structure from the central and southern areas to the periphery, changing from shortage of supply to oversupply. (2) The actual supply of recreational services is highly correlated with the number of people served, which can explain 50.38% of the change in the actual supply. (3) The potential demand for recreational services is highly correlated with the actual demand. It can explain 78.96% of the change in the actual demand. (4) Accessibility is a non-critical factor affecting the travel rate of residential quarters, while supply pressure is a key factor affecting the utilization rate of park green space. The framework can effectively identify important or low-utilization service-providing areas, unmet service-demanding areas, and important service-connecting areas. It is suitable for the study of the relationship between the supply, demand, and flow of user movement-related services.

Post- Civil War Developments in Nigeria: Issues, Challenges and the Establishment of NATSINTA Army Barracks, Katsina, 1970-2020

The paper examines the post-Nigerian Civil War developments that led to the establishment of Natsinta Army Barracks, Katsina. Prior to 1966, the total strength of the Nigerian Army was merely 10,000. However, at the end of the war, the figure had risen to 250,000. This posed a serious challenge because the available barracks could not contain more than 10% of the personnel. In view of this, the Nigerian Army instructed the soldiers to leave the East because the region was saturated with artificial barracks. On the May 1, 1970 the 82-battalion arrived Katsina from Uli-Ahiala. They were accommodated at Sabongida, Gidan Kwakwa, Kayalwa, GRA and some hotels, as well as rented apartments in the city. By 1977, the project for a permanent barracks was completed at Natsinta Village. The barracks housed the 82 battalion and in 1996 the 35 battalion replaced them. The scope of the paper is 1970-2020 because it was in 1970 that 82 battalion arrived Katsina. The year 2020 is the terminal end of the paper because it was in that year that residential quarters for the personnel of 17 brigade was constructed in the barracks. The paper argues that the establishment of the barrack was a landmark in the history of modern Katsina metropolis. Natsinta had impacts on the socio-economic and security aspect of Katsina. Primary and secondary sources of historical research were used in writing this paper. Keywords: Natsinta, Sabongida, Katsina, Army Barracks, Battalion, Civil war.

Fire prevention structure design of exterior walls of existing residential buildings

In this paper, taking the thermal insulation of the exterior wall after the renovation of multi-storey old residential quarters as the object Pyrosis is used to simulate the fire, and the prevention and control effects of different fire isolation belts and the combination of fire isolation belts and fire isolation layers on the longitudinal spread of the exterior wall fire are simulated. The results show that the arrangement of one fire isolation layer and each fire isolation layer in five groups of working conditions can effectively delay the longitudinal spread of external wall fire caused by window fire. The research results can provide reference for outdoor fire prevention and control measures of multi-storey buildings, and gain valuable rescue time for firefighting.

Insights into the risk of COVID-19 infection in urban neighborhood and its environmental influence factors:A novel approach

Many studies have dealt with the relationship between the built environment and COVID-19 infection in isolation. However, the research approaches were often inadequate in accurately reflecting the risk of COVID-19 infection. Therefore, we aim to develop a novel approach to study the risk of COVID-19 infection and its Environmental Influence Factors (EIFs) at the neighborhood scale. We constructed a multi-agent model of the spatial environment of residential quarters, including models of behavior and COVID-19 infection dynamics, and established 24 experimental schemes based on the Prevention and Control Measures (PCMs) of zonal control, mask-wearing, and outing frequency to simulate and assess the infection risk. The results show that the areas of accessible wood, hard surfaces, and seating are high-risk sites for infection. Zonal control and mask-wearing are effective PCMs, and the EIFs we set all play significant roles in influencing infection risk. Our study provides insight into the effects of PCMs and EIFs related to COVID-19 infection and highlights that the novel approach not only reveals the levels of infection risk and its mechanisms but also detects the spatio-temporal characteristics of behaviors and infection. This novel approach, dealing with individuals, space, environment, behavior, PCMs, and COVID-19 infection dynamics in integration, overcomes the limitations of traditional methods that overlook the influences of the spatio-temporal dynamics of individual behaviors and their environmental factors. It offers theoretical support for designing healthy outdoor built environments and technical support for the PCMs of the epidemic.

The inequity of urban green space availability between urban villages and residential quarters: An empirical study in Shenzhen, China

During the rapid urbanization process, the unequal distribution of green spaces (GS) has become a prominent topic in academic discussions due to its implications for social justice. Nonetheless, the equity of GS availability among different types of residential neighborhoods remains unclear, posing a challenge to achieving environmental justice in urban greening practices. This study, taking Shenzhen as a case study, examines the equity of GS availability between urban villages (UV) and residential quarters (RQ), two common residential neighborhood types in Chinese cities. We initially categorized both inner-GS and outer-GS based on their location inside or outside the boundary of residential neighborhoods and assessed GS availability at various accessible distances. Subsequently, the Theil index was applied to evaluate the inequity of GS availability, encompassing both the inequities within and between UV and RQ. Our findings reveal that UV exhibited higher GS inequity than RQ across all accessible distances. Furthermore, within UV, GS inequity decreased as the accessible distance increased, while the opposite trend was observed for RQ. Notably, although significant inequities existed in inner-GS availability between UV and RQ, outer-GS played a crucial role in mitigating this imbalance. These results provide valuable insights into GS equity across different residential neighborhood types and offer recommendations for enhancing/balancing the equity of GS availability in Shenzhen.

Systematic Assessment on Waterlogging Control Facilities in Hefei City of Anhui Province in East China

Both the renovation of rainwater pipes and the addition of sponge city facilities in the low-terrain residences of urban fringes were rarely systematically simulated using the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM). With the waterlogging prevention project in an old residential quarter at a fringe of Hefei city being an example, this study used the SWMM to simulate the effect of the renovation of rainwater pipes and sponge city facilities under different return periods. The results showed the key nodes on the main pipes met the drainage requirements based on water depth analysis after renovation below the 20-year return period, and the reduction rate of the maximum water depth at the key node J5 was the greatest, with 87.7%. The four flow parameters (the average flow rate, the peak flow rate, the total discharge, and the percentage of water flow frequency) for the two outlets (PFK1 and PFK2) all improved after renovation under five return periods (2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 years [a]). The addition of sponge city facilities effectively reduced the amount of rainwater runoff from 28.68% to 14.78% during 2 a to 50 a, and the maximum reduction rate of water depth, being 61.15%, appeared in J5 under 20 a. The curve integral area of the depth over the elapsed time was innovatively used to indirectly express the accumulated rainwater volume through the rainwater well. This study verified that the SWMM model can be well applied to old low-terrain residential quarters in urban fringes and broadened the application scenario of the model.

European historic cities and overtourism – conflicts and development paths in the light of systematic literature review

PurposeThis paper aims to check if destinations with powerful similarities also show similar tourism/overtourism effects that differentiate them from other destinations. This paper gathers and compares data on overtourism in European historic cities already presented in the existing literature and points out features and problems typical for these destinations.Design/methodology/approachThis paper was based on the systematic literature review method, which allowed the author to indicate the most commonly studied European historic cities and the characteristics of overtourism problems.FindingsThe results of this study reveal that several European historic cities share similar tourism development patterns and the overtourism problems manifest numerous similarities. Significantly, these problems are characteristic of historic cities only and partially different from those observed in European urban destinations such as metropolises.Research limitations/implicationsThis study enhances a proper understanding of overtourism and the contradictory results published in the existing literature. This study is the first step in building a more situational approach to overtourism and adjusting the theory to particular destinations' features.Practical implicationsThe outcome of this study offers local policymakers several hints regarding effectively facing the overtourism problems. Historic cities require special attention when actions toward lowering extreme tourism pressure in monumental zones are implemented and residents' concerns about the spread of tourism, including short-term listings, to residential quarters need to be addressed.Originality/valueTo the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study based on a comparison of similar destinations aimed to develop theory and practical implications devoted purely to a limited number of destinations sharing numerous similarities. The set of coherent theoretical and practical implications designed for a narrow group of cities is to be an essential contribution to the development of research and practice in urban tourism.

THE OLD AND NEW CASTLES IN THE TOWN OF ROHATYN: DEVELOPMENT OF PLANNING STRUCTURE AND ARCHITECTURE

According to historical documents, the city of Rohatyn was one of the most developed and well-fortified cities in Ukraine during the 16th and 17th centuries. From the city's founding, two structural parts were planned: the town center (sredmiste) and the castle. The development of the town center and its urban structure has been analyzed in several of our previous scholarly works. Despite significant destruction during the First and Second World Wars, the town center has retained its historical layout and part of its architecture. The city's fortifications, however, have been irretrievably lost. On the site where the castle once stood, no structures have survived, and today, the city authorities plan to develop residential quarters in this area as part of urban planning projects. The aim of our publication is to illustrate what the architectural complex of the Rohatyn castle was like and to create scientific prerequisites for archaeological research and for revising the plans for the use of this territory. The castle, its history, and its architecture remain largely unexplored. By the end of the 17th century, the castle consisted of two parts: the Old Castle and the New Castle. Three unidentified buildings from the New Castle have survived to this day. As for the Old Castle, researchers have only determined its location. The scientific literature does not provide detailed coverage of the layout and architecture of both castles during the 15th-18th centuries. In our article on this subject, published in issue 10 of this journal (Nr. 10, pp. 17-29: Notes on the History and Architectural- Planning Reconstruction of the Rohatyn Castle), we presented materials on the location, territorial configuration, and general layout of the castle complex. It was established that the complex consisted of two adjacent parts connected to each other. Based on newly acquired materials, we can now conduct a deeper analysis of the castle's history, particularly using the texts of the castle's inspections from 1663 and 1725, and employ the 1666 drawing of the church and castle as an iconographic source. From the analysis of these sources, we attempt to determine which objects constituted the castle complex and the elements that made up the structure of its fortifications. By systematizing information from maps and two inventory descriptions, we reconstruct the stages of development and architecture of the castle buildings and offer a hypothetical graphic reconstruction of the Old Castle's layout, the layout of thepalace building, and the hypothetical appearance of the castle's northern façade during the late 17th to early 18th century. Based on the results of the investigation, a hypothetical graphic reconstruction of the planning structure of the Old and New Castles was performed. The planning structure of the palace as at the tiime of the beginning of the 18th century has been reproduced. On the basis of a schematic drawing from the 17th century, we performed a graphic reconstruction of the appearance of the defensive walls and buildings of the Old Castle from the north side.

Status of Selected Heavy Metals in Soils Samples Obtained From Crown Estate Dumpsite, Okada, Edo State, Nigeria

This research work focused on the status of selected heavy metals in dumpsite soil compared with soil samples obtained from a green park area as a control. The research results were also related to threshold limits set by the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA), World Health Organization (WHO) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). Soil samples were collected from a dumpsite inside Crown Estate (made up of residential quarters for both staff and students of Igbinedion University) and a green area of Igbinedion University's permanent site, Okada, Benin City, Edo State in Nigeria. The soil samples were air-dried, ground, sieved, digested and subjected to heavy metal analysis using atomic absorption spectroscopy. The analyzed metal profiles in the dumpsite soil samples are as follows: concentration of Fe, Pb, Cu, Zn, Mn and Ni ranged from 453.26 – 569.28, 0.85 – 1.16, 20.17 – 32.35, 60.98 – 74.26, 5.15 – 9.28, and 5.92 – 9.57 mg/Kg, with mean concentrations of 501.33 mg/Kg, 0.96 mg/Kg, 25.38 mg/Kg, 66.33 mg/Kg, 6.89mg/Kg and 7.90 mg/Kg respectfully, while the status of heavy metal concentration in soil samples collected from the control site ranged from 386.21 – 463.95, 0.82 – 1.32, 20.05 – 26.27, 47.75 – 65.22, 5.77 – 8.73, and 6.35 – 9.87 mg/Kg, with mean concentration of 401.76 mg/Kg, 1.05 mg/Kg, 23.05 mg/Kg, 54.84, 7.39 mg/Kg and 7.78 mg/Kg for Fe, Pb, Cu, Zn, Mn and Ni respectfully. Of all the metals analyzed only the level of Fe in this study did exceed the tolerance limits of NESREA, WHO and FAO. The results also revealed higher heavy metal content in the dumpsite justifiably due to the difference in anthropogenic activities carried out on the two sites.

Urban ecological environment evaluation and influencing factors analysis at the residential quarter-level in Xi'an, China

Residential quarters are a critical component of urban areas, which significantly affects people's health and quality of life. In recent decades, the high-density and crowded residential quarters have become the mainstream organizational model of construction in China, because of the rapid and massive urbanization in many cities. This results in the contradiction between the eco-environment needs and the accommodation needs. Therefore, a systematic evaluation of the eco-environment in residential quarters is urgently needed to address the drawbacks of current residential quarters' planning and design. This paper aims to explore ways to improve the eco-environment with residential quarters from the perspective of China. We first used the Remote Sensing Ecological Index (RSEI) to evaluate the eco-environmental quality of 3, 756 residential quarters in the main urban areas of Xi 'an, China. Then, we quantitatively analyzed the landscape patterns of the impervious surfaces in these residential quarters. Finally, we characterized the impacts of residential quarters layout on the ecological environment by using the vegetation coverage (FVC), the normalized difference bare soil index (NDBSI), building density (BD), the residential density (RD), and the population density (PD) as main factors. The results are as follows: (1) Only 20.5 % of residential quarters with good eco-environments were distributed between the Second and Third Ring Road, indicating the need for improvement in creating livable eco-environments. (2) The shape of the impervious surface of excellent ecological quarters is complex and broken, the average patch area is smaller, and the degree of aggregation and combination of patches is lower compared to residential quarters with poor ecological quality. Therefore, it is recommended to reduce the connectivity of the impervious surface to improve the eco-environment of residential quarters. (3) Among the factors affecting RSEI of residential quarters, FVC, and NDBSI contribute more than other factors. For the construction of excellent eco-environments in residential quarters, we suggest that vegetation coverage should be no less than 0.4, the impervious surface coverage should be no more than 0.53, the building density should be between 0.28 ∼ 0.35, residential density should be no more than 0.22, and the population density of residential quarter should be under 0.29. Overall, for open and low-density residential quarters, the living environment can be improved by enriching vegetation and reducing impervious surfaces, while compact, high-density residential quarters can create a livable eco-environment by optimizing the impervious surface landscape patterns.

RESIDENTIAL COMPLEXES BUILT BEHIND THE STATE INDUSTRY BUILDING IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE CAPITAL’S ADMINISTRATIVE CENTRE OF KHARKIV IN THE 1920S AND 1930S

The article is devoted to the history of the formation and features of three residential complexes: Chervonyi Promyslovets (1929–1931, architect S. Kravets), Budynok Spetsialistiv (1934–1936, architect L. Lemish), Novyi Pobut (1930–1932, architect M. Pokornyi), located near the new administrative centre of then the capital of Soviet Ukraine—Kharkiv. These complexes were created in the late 1920s and early 1930s and reflected the architectural and urban planning ideas, explorations, and concepts relevant in the early twentieth century. These include the idea of the garden city and the concepts of the commune house and the housing factory. The residential complexes Chervonyi Promyslovets and Budynok Spetsialistiv are a direct embodiment of the concept of a housing estate, and Novyi Pobut is a partial embodiment of the concept of socialisation of everyday life through the elements of a communal house. Looking at the overall structure of the complex of the capital’s administrative centre of Kharkiv, with its residential quarters separated from the administration and business centre by a broad green boulevard, we can note that this urban structure embodies the idea of a garden city. The article contains a compositional characterisation of all three complexes and describes their functional content and transformations through time. The article documents significant changes in the spatial planning schemes and approaches to the design of urban living environments, from perimeter development to free planning of neighbourhoods. The description focuses on documenting the monuments of modernist architecture in the capital city of Kharkiv, which is extremely important for consolidating its pivotal role in the world history of the Modern Movement. Since the preservation of architectural heritage is an integral part of the strategy of the modern European state and a prerequisite for understanding the value of the historic urban landscape and individual architectural objects, it is of utmost necessity and importance to document the architectural and urban heritage of metropolitan Kharkiv. The collected and structured material on the history of the construction and formation of residential complexes belonging to the administrative centre of the metropolitan Kharkiv, their spatial, compositional, and functional features will become the basis for preserving the historical character of the buildings and further development of the district. Keywords: Kharkiv, residential complex, house-quarter, Derzhprom.

Quantitative analysis and design countermeasures of space crime prevention in old residential area quarters

ABSTRACT Safety has become the bottom line and fundamental goal of urban renewal with the accelerated urbanization process. Building a safe and stable urban residential environment is a meaningful way to improve cities’ “social-ecological” resilience. Based on the theory of environmental crime prevention and space syntax, taking Tiexinli old residential area in Qinhuangdao City as the research object, using Depth map software to quantitatively analyze the integration degree, synergy degree, connectivity degree, depth value, visual clustering coefficient, and choice value of the residential space, the results show that the accessibility of the spatial system of the old residential area is differentiated. The accessibility of the by-pass road is the lowest and lacks activity support. The spatial layout of the residential area is single and concurrent, and the entrances, exits, and the subsidiary road fail to play a good role in ” access control. ” The environment and landscape of green space between houses and negative space in the residential area are poorly maintained, and the visibility effect is limited. Therefore, the renovation of the old residential area should focus on optimizing the road system, increasing the monitoring of the activities of the people, and enriching the activities of the public space. This research contributes to addressing potential crime issues in urban renewal. It offers feasible and forward-looking approaches to crime prevention and control in the redevelopment of old residential areas in Asian countries. Additionally, this method can be applied in the planning and design of new residential areas to identify and rectify potential crime risks within design schemes, ensuring the safety and living quality of residential communities.

Accessibility analysis and optimization strategy of urban green space in Qingdao City Center, China

Rapid urbanization in China results in an uneven distribution of Urban Green Space (UGS) resources. This study aims to provide a scientific basis for optimizing the layout of UGS during the urban renewal process. This study takes Qingdao City Center of China as an example. Using the expanded model of Gaussian Two-Step Floating Catchment Area Method, different search thresholds are set based on the service scale and radius of UGS. This analysis delves into the distribution characteristics of UGS accessibility by walking. The results show that the accessibility of UGS in the Qingdao City Center presents an obvious circular structure, with Badaguan Block and Jinmen Block as the high-value core of accessibility that gradually decrease toward the periphery. There is a significant gap between the supply of UGS and the actual demand of the residential population, and 65.49% of residential quarters in Shinan District have lower accessibility of UGS than the average level of the whole district. According to the results of accessibility analysis, the optimization strategies and spatial intentions are proposed from three aspects: the renewal of existing spaces, the integration and utilization of resources, and the improvement of the UGS system.

THE PROBLEM SOLUTION OF RATIONAL PLACEMENT OF UNMANNED AIRCRAFT GROUPS IN URBAN DEVELOPMENT AS PART OF AN OPERATIONAL RESPONSE SYSTEM

A method of rational placement in urban development of a grouping of unmanned aerial vehicles (aircraft) intended for information support of the police rapid response forces is proposed. By placement, in this case, it is meant to determine the composition of the grouping and the coordinates of the locations (take-off points) of unmanned aircraft that are part of it. As geographical objects for the placement of the aviation grouping, cities and urban areas are assumed, in the construction of which residential quarters, places of recreation and mass stay of people, transport and commercial facilities predominate. The method allows, with the specified requirements for the maximum time of arrival of an unmanned aircraft (UAV) to the scene of the incident, to determine the rational composition and location of the elements of the UAV grouping in the city (village, urban district, village), including having a complex shape of the building area. To search for take-off points, fragments of a triangular lattice are used as a basic geometric model, which are virtually and conformally placed on the city plan in accordance with the developed algorithm. The proposed method allows, under conditions of resource constraints, to solve the problem of placing a group of UAVs in urban development, from the point of view of minimizing the material costs associated with its creation and operation, by reducing the number of UAVs used.

Operation optimization of distributed energy systems considering nonlinear characteristics of multi-energy transport and conversion processes

The various energies in distributed energy system (DES) have different transmission and storage characteristics but are tightly coupled through transport and conversion processes, hindering their accurate and efficient analysis severely. To meet this challenge, this work builds a holistic DES model that fully considers the nonlinearity of energy transport and conversion processes in residential quarters based on the heat current method. A two-layer iterative algorithm is further proposed to realize the efficient optimization calculation, and the operation cost of the DES in the whole day reaches $7873.68 after optimization. The optimization results reveal that the operational states of various devices have established a tight spatiotemporal coupling across different moments and buildings, and the nonlinear characteristics in heat transfer, power transmission, and power-heat conversion processes substantially influence the system's operation. Comparatively, neglecting nonlinear heat transfer constraints results in substantial deviations, with a notable reduction in the fluctuation of heat output from each piece of equipment. The average and maximum relative errors in heat stored within the heat storage device (HS) are 31.9% and 81.8%, respectively. Conversely, overlooking the bus voltage constraint leads to an overestimation of heat stored in HS, with the average relative error in heat stored reaching 49.5%.

Greening residential quarters in China: What are the roles of urban form, socioeconomic factors, and biophysical context?

Residential greenspace has great intracity variations. Its driving factors have been widely investigated in Western countries (e.g., in Europe and North America), where residential areas are mostly privately owned, but few studies have examined the determinants of residential greenspace in China, where land is owned by the government. Taking the subtropical city of Changsha, China, as an example, this study mapped the percent green cover (PGC) in residential quarters with a fine-resolution satellite image. We also investigated its driving factors measured from multisource geospatial data. The results show that (1) the PGC in the residential quarters showed great spatial variation, with an average of 36.6% (0–85.7%) and a standard deviation of 18.3%. (2) Urban form, biophysical context, and socioeconomic factors together explained 49.18% of the variation in the PGC, and they independently explained 22.87%, 11.17%, and 2.31% of the variation, respectively. (3) Residential quarter size, PGC in the surrounding buffer zone, residential quarter age, housing value, and population density significantly and positively impact the PGC, while percent building cover, floor area ratio, and distance to city center had significant negative impacts. The strongest positive and negative impacts came from PGC in the surrounding buffer zone and percent building cover, respectively. Socioeconomic factors, the dominant driving factors in Western countries, show little impact on residential PGC. These findings expand our understanding of the intracity variation in greenspace coverage and the driving factors, which sheds light on the effective planning and management of urban greenspaces in China.
