MASS RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION AS AN ELEMENT OF CRISIS ARCHITECTURE

The world's population loses their homes due to natural disasters and wars every year, many international organizations have been created to eliminate such consequences. Architects as volunteers also make efforts to design typical low-cost mass housing., there is a concept of crisis architecture to denote this phenomenon. Its feature is the fastest possible reconstruction of housing for people in disaster zones. The next term discussed in the article is urbicide, the purposeful destruction of cities caused by wars, terrorist attacks, and other aggressive actions that we have in Ukraine today.
 The purpose of the article is to reveal the features of mass housing architecture in its relationship with crisis phenomena and urbicide in society. For this purpose, the possibility of reconstruction, reconstruction and development of the architectural and urban structure of cities in the post-crisis period is considered. The features of the crisis architecture of countries and cities affected by wars, as well as floods, fires and other natural disasters (Rotterdam, Hiroshima, Bismaya, Skopje) are analysed. Foremost, the restoration of the engineering infrastructure was observed. Work on solving the housing problem consisted in the repair of damaged buildings, the reconstruction of large apartments into small apartments and the construction of typical temporary low-rise buildings 3 available raw materials. Unified 4-5- story series of economy houses were popular in post-war France, Hungary, Slovakia and other countries. Disadvantages of such housing include chaotic construction, simplification of architectural solutions, lack of individual stylistic features. Later, the temporary residential quarters were dismantled. At the same time, a significant part of such panel houses remains inhabited even in our time. 
 Ukraine was significantly affected by the Second World War. Mass construction according to typical projects took place in the 60s, as a result of which about 23% of the country's housing stock has physical and moral deterioration. In view of the military actions, it is extremely important to use the international experience of rebuilding cities, to carefully approach the selection of projects, focusing on the economic component, the safety of residents and high-quality architectural solutions.

ИСТОРИКО-ГРАДОСТРОИТЕЛЬНЫЕ АСПЕКТЫ ПРЕОБРАЗОВАНИЯ РАБОЧИХ ОКРАИН ЛЕНИНГРАДА (НА ПРИМЕРЕ АНСАМБЛЯ ТРАКТОРНОЙ УЛИЦЫ)

Creating a comfortable living environment in St. Petersburg, taking into account the preservation of the valuable characteristics of historical buildings and the consistent development of the Leningrad architectural school, is one of the most important tasks that is currently being addressed. The result of a systematic approach to the formation of the structure of the new development of Leningrad was the creation of a complex of urban ensembles, based on the principles of architecture of the early 20th century and the traditions of St. Petersburg architecture, which combined peripheral areas with the center. Therefore, it is relevant to study the architectural and spatial features of the formation of the urban environment of Leningrad in the pre-war decade, primarily in the context of the synthesis of the use of techniques in accordance with the needs of the workers of the world's first proletarian state and the preservation of the successive nature of the ensemble development of new urban planning solutions.
 The object of the study is the ensemble of Traktornaya Street. (architects A. Gegello, A. Nikolsky, G. Simonov, 1925-1927)
 The methodological basis of the study is: historical and urban planning analysis, including the study of historical documents (maps), design decisions, generalization and evaluation of the results obtained.
 As a result of the study, the authors come to the conclusion that the architectural and spatial methods of formation and means of organizing an ensemble in the peripheral areas of the working outskirts (on the example of Traktornaya Street) demonstrate the creative method of architects of the 1920-1930s, as a synthesis of the latest experience in designing residential quarters for workers in the capitalist countries of the West, St. Petersburg-Leningrad, the requirements of a man of a new proletarian state, the urban context and the preservation of the traditions of St. Petersburg architecture

Socio-spatial analysis of regime shifts in Addis Ababa's urbanisation

The urbanisation of Addis Ababa is a product of multilayered socio-spatial processes in temporal dimensions. To understand urbanisation, we employed a theoretical framework relevant to the developing world. The theoretical aspects were also supplemented with empirical evidence obtained from satellite images from 1974, 1991, and 2020. These years mark the end of three recognised regime shifts (imperialist, socialist, and contemporary globalised). The urbanisation of Addis Ababa is explained by a combination of theories throughout the regime shifts, in which the role of elites, foreign bodies, and technology are emphasised. While the imperialist regime dispossessed the peasants of their land, the socialist regime allowed peasants access to the centre and contemporary globalised commodified land. During the brief annexation of the city by the Italian Empire, a segregated city (natives and European residential quarters) was documented. Similarly, the contemporary regime has favoured commercial and high-end residential buildups that have pushed the poor towards the periphery. Spatial analysis revealed that the city has expanded considerably, with a nearly 600% increase during the latest regime. The results provide a thorough examination of the factors that caused considerable urban changes in the latest regime.

Forecasting natural gas consumption with multiple seasonal patterns

Natural gas is vital in the world’s energy portfolio and is widely applied to power generation, urban heating, and manufacturing. Forecasting natural gas consumption with high accuracy is thus crucial in order to maintain a reliable supply for various applications. The demand for natural gas often exhibits different seasonal patterns regarding customers of different characteristics. The precision of forecasters will be vulnerably affected without carefully exploring the periodicity of usage. This paper proposes a novel method, Dual Convolution with Seasonal Decomposition Network, for natural gas consumption forecasting. The proposed method applies multiple seasonal-trend decomposition to separate time series into periodic patterns and residual components. In addition, local and global convolution are combined to predict series with significant fluctuations and poor periodicity. Simulations show that on city-level forecasting, the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods in terms of overall prediction accuracy and variation sensitivity regardless of different time intervals. The performance of the method is robust to the forecasting horizon. The method can be deployed in practical circumstances to forecast the natural gas consumption of residential quarters, cities, or even countries in different time spans.

Optimizing the safety of residential quarters in China's compact cities: A safety systems engineering approach

Choosing a place to live demands critical consideration of economic, social, transport and preferred lifestyle factors. Internal and external safety risks that may jeopardize people's safety and incur losses of life and property are besetting some residential quarters. This study aimed to establish an optimal safety system for China's compact cities by evaluating the risk factors comprehensively and proposing targeted measures to improve safety. Based on the current research and safety accident data, a model of the human-machine-environment system was developed for residential quarters. Fault Tree Analysis was used to identify the risk factors. The optimal safety system was constructed using System Dynamics to provide theoretical guidance to bring improvement. A case study was enlisted to generate empirical results to validate the proposed system. Qualitative analysis using geographic information system software and quantitative analysis using Grey Comprehensive Evaluation rating based on the entropy weight method yielded a score of 0.70 out of 1.00. Equivalent to the good level, the results confirmed the fulfillment of safety requirements with room for optimization by applying the new system. Analysis of weaknesses was accompanied by specific recommendations to remedy shortcomings and refine practices. This study contributes to the literature by analyzing a broad range of risk factors and employing IT and quantitative techniques to develop a feasible and practical safety system for residential quarters. The findings enhance the understanding of risk control in residential quarters, provide a systematic method to assess management efficacy, and inform the authorities to optimize safety management.

Quantifying tree canopy coverage threshold of typical residential quarters considering human thermal comfort and heat dynamics under extreme heat

Numerous studies have explored the cooling effect of greening due to evapotranspiration, enhanced albedo, and interception of shortwave radiation to reduce the air temperature in residential quarters under extreme heat conditions. However, few studies have considered the tree canopy coverage (TCC) threshold with a focus on human thermal comfort and heat dynamic processes simultaneously. Therefore, in this study, we selected three typical residential quarters in Nanjing with different building heights and densities, and used both in-situ measurements and ENVI-met–based numerical models to simulate scenarios with different TCCs. The results showed that the amount of temperature reduction caused by trees did not continuously increase with increasing TCC. In addition, the benefit of trees on human thermal sensation was more evident in residential quarters with relatively low-rise buildings, while trees in residential quarters with high-rise buildings can hardly relieve human thermal discomfort. Considering both heat dynamics and human thermal comfort, this study quantitatively determined that the maximum effective TCC thresholds of residential quarters with heights of 33 m (11 floors), 54 m (18 floors), and 100 m (33 floors) were 45%, 30%, and 25%, respectively. Hence, we recommend that not only provisions on greenspace areas but also a standard for the maximum TCC threshold should be set in relative regulations. The findings of this study have important implications for climate-resilience planning and design, especially at the neighborhood scale.

FROM THE CENTER TO THE «SLEEPING DISTRICTS»: ATTEMPTS TO CONSTRUCT THE EXTERNAL IMAGE OF LVIV AS A SOVIET CITY

The attempts of the Soviet authorities to construct the external image of Lviv as a Soviet city are analyzed. It is argued that an important aspect of the transformation of any city is its visual changes. It is noted that during the period 1939–1941, and later in 1944–1991, the Soviet government sought to give a «Soviet face», first of all, to the center of Lviv. Simultaneously with this, in the so-called «sleeping districts» of the city – a kind of invention of the Soviet era – in Lviv, as in other cities of the USSR, residential quarters typical for the Soviet space were to appear, built with characteristic residential quarters with a uniform layout and standard social infrastructure. It is concluded that the implementation of the plan to transform, according to the Soviet definition, the «bourgeois» (European) appearance of the city of Lviv into a «Soviet» one turned out to be half-hearted. Thus, the Soviet project to create a «socialist model» center in Lviv was not successful: instead of the large area of the new center planned in the 1940s with Soviet monuments and administrative buildings, only a few buildings were built, and a 700-anniversary of Lviv Street was laid, which instead of the city center, it became an ordinary highway connecting the historic center with the new residential quarters of the northern districts of the city. It is noted that the process of residential development, which began in the 1950s, was more successful. As a result, being built with typical new buildings, Lviv’s suburbs got a Soviet image. At the same time, massive housing construction contributed to a partial solution to the housing issue, although often the condition of new buildings was not the best. It is noted that the cultural phenomenon of the Ukrainian-speaking «yesterday’s peasants» – the «new residents of city» – began to form on the outskirts of Lviv. They began to adapt to city life, adopting its culture, in turn influencing the natives of the city. At the same time, in the case of Lviv, it was not precisely about the Russification of the «new settlers», but actually their Ukrainization of the space of the city center and its outskirts. Key words: Lviv, image construction, Soviet city, Ukrainian SSR, USSR, architecture, city center, city outskirts.

Differences of Rural Residential Quarters in North and South China

China is a large country with an extensive north-south span, resulting in huge differences in geography and climate, folks and customs, and regional economic developments. These differences have further brought forth some unique characteristic cultures and architectural styles in the north and the south of China. Nowadays, most rural residential quarters are innovative renovations based on the original old buildings, so rural residential quarters generally have a close regenerative relationship with the local traditional buildings, rural residential quarters represent and inherit the traditional architectural spirit and culture of the regions. Consequently, the architectural styles and spatial compositions of rural residential quarters in the north and the south of China show relevant differences in accordance with regional architectural traditions. Excellent rural residential quarters design can not only promote local culture, but also provide a strong guarantee for the local economy and employment. From the perspective of professional point of view, studying the differences between the North and the South of the rural residential quarters will enable relevant practitioners to have an in-depth understanding of both the advantages and disadvantages in the architectural designs of rural residential quarters in the north and the south of China. The paper hoped to provide possible enlightenments for the developmental designs of China’s rural residential quarters that are supposed to combine traditional culture with modern architectural designs for inheritance and innovation. In terms of policy significance, promoting the development and integration of rural residential quarters can not only attract tourists, but also enable the locals who work abroad to work in their hometowns. Although rural residential quarters are small, they are one of the driving forces for the development of China's rural revitalization strategy. Meanwhile, the study of the differences and integration of rural residential quarters of north and south rural residential quarters has long-term and comprehensive planning significance for the supply-side reform of the rural economy and the integration and exchange of architectural culture between the north and the south. Enter the 21st century, the fast pace of modern life makes people yearn more and more for the traditional rural life. In this background, China’s rural residential quarter industry has entered a rapid development stage, which, however, brought some industry problems, such as serious homogenization and lack of characteristic innovation. In order to help to solve the relevant problems and possibly provide some corresponding theoretical bases , this paper, by way of comparative analysis, tried to explore in depth into the major architectural differences of and their possible causes for rural residential quarters between the north and the south of China from the aspects of construction wall, external building component, building space and courtyard, site selection and facing orientation, internal decoration and furniture, theme orientation, and regional culture so that people who yearn for traditional rural life can have a deeper insight into the rural residential quarters in the north and the south of China. The development of rural residential quarters can not only promote the local culture, but also develop the local economy and increase the local employment.

Spatial Characteristics of the Abandonment Degree of Residential Quarters Based on Data of the Housing Sales Ratio—A Case Study of Kunming, China

The abandonment degree of an urban residential building can reflect the popularity of residential areas. This study uses this idea as a basis for proposing the concept of using residential quarters’ abandonment rate to measure the abandonment degree of an area. The spatial pattern of the abandonment rate and its clustering characteristics were obtained by taking 2517 residential quarters in Kunming’s Main Urban District as research object, and using their listing for sale ratio data. Thereafter, curve estimation was used to explore the influencing factors of abandonment rate. The results are as follows. (1) The abandonment rate of the four circles in Kunming’s Main Urban District increases from inside to outside, showing the pattern of the core area–second ring area–third ring area–new urban district, with evident “core–edge” characteristics. (2) The relationship between distance from the city center, housing ages, and abandonment rate can be well fitted using a quadratic function and shows an inverted “U”-shaped “rising–declining” trend. The relationship between housing prices and abandonment rate is fitted by the inverse function, showing an evident “up” trend. This study is a reference for managers of relevant departments and urban planners in formulating reasonable urban housing development policies.

Conclusion: The research on test method for low altitude wireless network signal plays an important role in the optimization of low altitude network and fine management of tower base station information.

Carbon-free energy optimization in intelligent communities considering demand response

With the gradual improvement in people’s quality of life, intelligent communities are received widespread attention and research. However, the massive use of various smart appliances causes a rapid increase in energy demand and carbon emissions. Therefore, in this paper, the novel carbon-free energy optimization method under the designed energy structure suitable for an intelligent community is proposed to deal with energy depletion and environmental pollution. First, the energy supply side makes full use of clean energy generation technologies to provide users with adequate energy, which is composed of photovoltaic (PV), wind turbine (WT) and hydrogen steam turbines. Second, considering the demand response (DR) of the load side, household appliances are modeled according to the working characteristics. Then, the energy treatment mode of renewable energy sources (RESs) grid-connected reverse transmission is changed. The power to hydrogen (P2H) technology is introduced into the energy structure of intelligent residential quarters to increase the proportion of hydrogen energy in the region. Moreover, the energy storage device and electrification technology are combined to realize the production and application of regional hydrogen and achieve the goal of non-carbonization of regional energy structure. Finally, in simulation part, the optimal solution in the scheduling cycle is obtained by YALMIP solver, and time-of-use (TOU) electricity prices are used to calculate the final electricity cost. It is displayed that carbon emissions and energy consumption cost can be reduced, and the pressure of peak power consumption relieved based on the designed non-carbonization energy structure and energy optimization method.

Mobilities of toponymic place branding in an autocratic post-Soviet city: The Mayak Minska (the Lighthouse of Minsk) and the Minsk-Mir (the Minsk-World) megaprojects

ABSTRACT This article analyzes the spatial politics of profit-oriented place naming (toponymic commodification) in connection with two urban megaprojects in the Belarusian capital. We focus on the Mayak Minska (the Lighthouse of Minsk) and the Minsk-Mir (the Minsk-World), by far the largest residential-commercial urban developments in post-Soviet era Minsk, and actualizations of the Belarusian regime’s urban growth and multi-vector foreign policies since the mid-2000s. Theoretically, we elaborate on three toponymy-related mobilities: the traveling of neoliberal policy models, investment-attraction strategies that seek to benefit from transnational real estate financing, and the globally circulating thematic variants in toponymy. Our data covers the names of 185 residential high-rises and quarters. The findings unveil that the high art –evoking toponyms in the Mayak Minska and the sixteen geographically and thematically organized toponymic categories in the Minsk-Mir are carefully branded toponymic productions based on the logic of symbolic mimicry. Meanwhile, the toponymic commodification in the analyzed developments has been propelled forward through transnational state-business relations: through situation-specific alliances with the Russian and the UAE-based investors, and in particular through the Belarusian regime’s close-knit collaborations and reciprocal promotional propaganda with the Serbia-originated BK Group and its real estate business affiliates. The documented processes of toponymic place branding have been an attempt at legitimating the prevailing Belarusian political system via its achievements in facilitating urban growth and modernization; however, they have co-occurred with the heavy-handed treatment of domestic political opponents and media critics in Belarus.

ON THE MEANING OF THE FEDERAL LAW «ON THE PUBLIC NOT-FOR-PROFIT COMPANY "ROSKADASTR"» IN IMPLEMENTING THE AGREEMENTS ON INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT OF TERRITORIES

The relevance of the topic is due to the goals and objectives of a new urban planning policy aimed at solving the problem of affordable housing by moving from "infill construction" to the implementation of agreements on integrated development of the territory, enabling not only to construct new residential quarters, but to create all the necessary complex elements of engineering and social infrastructure as well. Its legal basis was adoption on December 30 , 2020 of the Federal Law "On Amendments to the Urban Planning Code of the Russian Federation and Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation in order to Ensure the Integrated Development of Territories", which entered civil circulation as the "Law on All-Russian Renovation". In order to develop its provisions and ensure the implementation of a "single window" principle, the Federal Law "On the Public Not-For-Profit Company Roskadastr" created an enlarged company that combined the functions of four previously disparate departments. The purpose of the study is basing on the analysis of the main provisions of the Federal Law "On the Public Not-For-Profit Company Roskadastr" to substantiate its importance for implementing the mechanism of integrated development of territories. The methodological basis was made up of a complex of general scientific, special scientific and special legal research methods, including dialectical approach, systematic, logical methods, formal legal one, etc. In the article the author reveals the positive effect of creating the public not-for-profit company "Roskadastr" and enters into a polemic on certain issues that cause criticism in the professional environment. Centralization of functions that previously existed separately in one institution, as well as geodetic, cartographic, legal, cost and other information about real estate objects necessary to implement the agreements on integrated development of the territory, improves the principle of a "single window", ensures a balance of public and private interests in solving socially significant tasks in the housing and construction sector.

A review of modeling and simulation tools for microgrids based on solar photovoltaics

Solar Photo Voltaic (PV) powered community microgrids are a promising sustainable solution for neighborhoods, residential quarters, and cities in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) to meet their energy demands locally and to increase energy independence and resilience. This review provides a comprehensive study on the nature of solar PV community microgrids. Through their capacity to operate in both grid-connected and island modes, community microgrids improve utility system resiliency while also boosting energy security in local states and towns. The integration of solar PV microgrids with the electricity utility grid requires control strategies to facilitate the load sharing between distributed generation units, voltage and frequency control, as well as emergency islanding. Control strategies such as hierarchical control and droop are discussed in the review article. To identify the effectiveness of control strategies through system simulation, a review of various modeling designs of individual components in a solar PV microgrid system is discussed. The article goes on to talk about energy optimization approaches and their economic impact on microgrid systems. Finally, the review concludes with an overview of the technical challenges encountered in the integration of solar PV systems in microgrids.

Influences of the Plot Area and Floor Area Ratio of Residential Quarters on the Housing Vacancy Rate: A Case Study of the Guangzhou Metropolitan Area in China

Factors affecting the housing vacancy rate (HVR) vary, but few studies have considered the relationships between the HVR and plot area (PA) and floor area ratio (FAR). This study thus considered 212 residential quarters in the Guangzhou metropolitan area as the research object, and we constructed a regression model of the factors impacting housing vacancies. The model includes two explanatory variables, PA and FAR, and the remaining six impact factors as control variables. In this study, the influences of PA and FAR on the HVR was analyzed by combining the traditional ordinary least squares (OLS) and two spatial regression models: the spatial lag model (SLM) and spatial error model (SEM). The results indicate that (1) the HVR in the Guangzhou metropolitan area shows spatial difference characteristics of the low central area and high edge, and there is spatial autocorrelation. (2) The PA of the residential quarters gradually increases from the central to the edge area, but the spatial pattern of FAR is the opposite. (3) The SLM results indicate that the PA and FAR of the residential quarters have significant positive correlations with HVR; that is, the larger the PA and FAR, the larger the HVR of the residential quarters, which is in accordance with the expected direction of the theory; furthermore, basic education convenience, road density, and waterfront accessibility have significant negative effects on HVR. This conclusion provides a reference for government departments to formulate reasonable and effective housing policies aimed at the current housing vacancy problem and should help alleviate urban housing vacancies.
