Avaliação da acústica em shopping centers de Maceió

Shopping centers are increasingly becoming popular as a leisure option in urban centers, as they offer security and provide protection against high urban temperatures. However, these spaces have become places of agglomeration, which results in very noisy environments due to the intense flow of people. Thus, this work aims to evaluate the acoustic environment of the three largest shopping centers in the city of Maceio, Brazil. The methodological steps of this study included the selection of shopping centers, sound measurements, the identification of noise sources in the spaces, and the analysis and discussion of the results, made through the collection of sound pressure levels and speech intelligibility levels. The results indicated that, in some of the scenarios studied, the sound levels were above what is allowed by the standards and may be harmful to hearing health in case of prolonged permanence. It was concluded that the lack of adequate acoustic materials in projects can contribute to high sound pressure levels and noise exposure.

Effect of location-based advertising filtering mechanism in smart service

Location-based advertising (LBA) refers to the delivery of marketing messages to mobile devices based on consumer location. The literature finds that LBA improves marketing effectiveness; however, distrust threatens consumers’ acceptance of LBA. This research suggests that an LBA filtering mechanism, which allows consumers to select advertising categories according to their preferences autonomously, may overcome the distrust. Its effect was empirically investigated in a smart retailing service platform. Two field experiments were conducted in a large shopping center with a total of 360 consumers. The results reveal that filtered (vs. unfiltered) LBA leads to more favorable behavioral intention through serial mediation of reduced psychological distance and enhanced trust. Moreover, the effect of LBA filtering in reducing psychological distance is more prominent for consumers with a prevention (vs. promotion) focus and with (vs. without) a purchase plan. The findings have implications for the system design and marketing of LBA.

The Forecasting Model of the Impact of Shopping Centres in Urban Areas on the Generation of Traffic Demand

The increase in traffic caused by new development affects the change in traffic conditions on the surrounding roads, and shopping centres are significant traffic generators. The development of local travel generation rates and their characteristics for individual land uses from the aspect of traffic demand is a reliable way to plan traffic in order to come up with preventive solutions to traffic problems, that is, prevention of possible negative consequences on traffic conditions in the street network occurring due to the construction of shopping centres. One of the main aims of this paper is to develop a model for objective assessment of the generated traffic demand for significant changes in land use, such as the construction of shopping centres in medium-sized towns. All these would be steps in the right direction for the promotion of reliable traffic planning and adoption of TIA for every new development before a decision regarding the change in land purpose has been made. This kind of process still has not been established systematically in either Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Serbia, or in surrounding countries. This paper focuses on the formulation of a model for determining the volume of traffic generated by shopping centres in medium-sized towns in two countries of the Southeast Europe region. The survey was conducted in eight different locations (cities) where there are shopping centres with common facilities. The analysis showed that the number of visitors and vehicles attracted by the shopping centre zone can be determined by a model based on a linear regression analysis. The analysis included exploring several different factors of trip generation in shopping centres, including the relationship between trip generation and combinations of several independent variables. The verification of the model was conducted in real conditions of the traffic flow generated by a shopping centre which was not the analysis subject when forming the forecasting model. In this way, the validity of the proposed model is credibly assessed. The developed model can be applied in the procedures of planning the construction of shopping centres in medium-sized cities in the Republic of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, and wider, in the region of Southeast Europe, in order to estimate the volume of generated traffic demand, that is, its impact on the conditions of traffic on the surrounding traffic network.

Persistent heat islands monitoring of Tehran metropolis using temporal analysis of Landsat-8 satellite images.

The management and design of urban areas in metropolises pose significant challenges. Balancing diverse land uses within a metropolitan structure and addressing spatial and environmental constraints are just some of these challenges. Urban heat islands, which stem from factors such as inappropriate construction materials, inadequate building insulation, improper land use locations, and unsuitable built-up density, reflect environmental imbalances within urban infrastructure. Effectively addressing these temperature discrepancies can lead to energy preservation, reduced environmental hazards, and enhanced comfort for urban residents. This study employed Landsat-8 satellite images to identify and monitor positive and convex temperature disparities across various districts of Tehran over 3years (2018 to 2020) using three different strategies. These disparities are estimated through the differences in land surface temperature from the thermal trend of each district and their persistence has been assessed in seasonal, semi-annual, and annual strategies. The study found that industrial areas, including warehouses, were the significant contributors to the persistent presence of urban heat islands in summer and winter. Open areas with impervious surfaces or bare soil, particularly those lacking sufficient green cover, also significantly contributed to the heat island effect. Certain large shopping centers, often due to their air conditioning systems, were also consistently identified as persistent heat islands. Evaluations demonstrated that over 78.8% of the identified persistent heat islands were meaningful, with most located in the northern and western parts of Tehran.

Exploring the impact of landscape design on user preferences in shopping centers post the COVID-19 Pandemic

This study explores the impact of landscape design, which has gained importance alongside architectural changes in shopping centers, and investigates preferences in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era. Although e-commerce has increased during the pandemic, research and societal behaviors suggest that shopping centers will continue to serve as contemporary agoras due to their socialization and leisure functions. However, in response to the pandemic, it is anticipated that newly designed shopping centers will be architecturally conceived as semi-outdoor or outdoor spaces, regardless of climate conditions. This transformation will involve the softening of rigid appearances through landscape elements, making them both ecologically and psychologically sustainable. The number of studies on this subject is limited. To address this knowledge gap, an online survey was conducted with 586 randomly selected users across nine shopping centers located in three major cities of Turkey: Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir, with three shopping centers in each city. The survey investigated users' preferences for architectural styles (indoor, semi-outdoor, or outdoor) and landscape design in shopping centers. The findings of the study indicate that post-pandemic, outdoor and semi-outdoor shopping centers are likely to be preferred more frequently. An emphasis is likely to be placed on natural landscape elements such as plants and water features in landscape design. Furthermore, shopping center designs are likely to become simpler, offering comfortable and spacious navigation areas while optimizing parking and transportation conditions. This study is expected to shed light on decision-making processes for future shopping centers. By incorporating consumer preferences, architects can enhance the sustainability of shopping center investments through next-generation design.

Strategi Kreatif Komunikasi Pemasaran Digital Pada Wisata Museum di Jakarta Barat

The government is currently trying to manage museums in Indonesia and attract the interest of the millennial generation. Currently, the number of visits to the National Museum, Jakarta History Museum, Ceramic Museum and other museums in Jakarta is still low. In fact, these museums are one of the tourist destinations that can be visited by tourists. Therefore, the number of visits still needs to be increased in order to compete with the habits of the millennial generation who often visit shopping centers. The Old City area in Taman Sari District, located in West Jakarta, is a favorite tourist destination for local and foreign tourists. The strength of the Old City area is the existence of Dutch heritage buildings and several museums that are located close together, namely the Jakarta History Museum, the Wayang Museum, the Ceramic and Ceramic Fine Arts Museum and several local Indonesian bank museums such as the BNI Museum (Bank Negara Indonesia 1946), the Bank Mandiri Museum and the Bank Indonesia Museum. Based on the above, researchers are interested in researching Creative Strategies for Museum Tourism in Jakarta.

Mobile Application Based Indoor Routing System Using Transfer Learning

Nowadays, indoor routing in places with complex multi-storey architecture such as hospitals, shopping malls, parking garages and public buildings is traditionally carried out using signage or devices in a fixed position. When we examine the literature, it is generally seen that indoor orientation studies for certain needs are seen. The fact that the routing systems are fixed, and the signage is not an effective tool constitutes the motivation of this study. In this study, an image-based mobile application that is hardware-independent and adaptable to other interior spaces has been implemented using a mobile device. The application basically consists of two parts. In the first part, transfer learning based MobileNetV2 architecture is used to determine the initial store location. The proposed model detects the store signage image taken from the camera with 96% success. In the second part, the user is successfully guided to the target using the Dijkstra algorithm. With the developed mobile application, the user can reach the targets on the same or different floors in the fastest way without wasting time and without asking anyone. The application was tried in real time in a shopping center and successful results are obtained.

Evaluation of Destructive and Non-Destructive Testing of Existing Hotel Structures for Shopping Centre Conversion

Changes in the function of a building will affect the structural loading, which, based on government regulations in building permits, must be reviewed for the feasibility of building functions through structural assessment. This research aims to analyze the condition of the concrete quality of building beams, columns, and slabs that are more than 50 years old. The methods used include non-destructive testing (NDT) and destructive testing (DT) on the structures. From the results of the non-destructive UPV (Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity) Test on 20 elements (100 tests) using the PUNDIT tool, the average concrete quality based on BS 1881 and ASTM C597-16 standards was found to be 28.15 MPa for columns, 25.11 MPa for beams, and 25.60 MPa for slabs. The Hammer Test showed an average concrete quality of 27.95 MPa for columns, 31.41 MPa for beams, and 31.20 MPa for slabs. The destructive method using core drilling on 8 structural elements revealed an average concrete quality of 25.58 MPa for columns, 34.61 MPa for beams, and 35.89 MPa for slabs. The hardness test for reinforcing steel indicated an average yield strength of 361 MPa. The compressive strength results of the column structure concrete meet the minimum requirements of 21 MPa for special structure concrete quality based on SNI-2847-2019. It is recommended to recalculate the structure with concrete quality fc' 25 MPa and steel quality fy 360 MPa to identify elements that need structural strengthening.

Peningkatan Kinerja Simpang Ciceri, Kota Serang dengan Model Penerapan Ruang Henti Khusus

The Ciceri intersection is in a densely populated urban area characterized by heavy traffic, particularly motorbikes. This is due to the nearby educational institutions, shops, offices, and a shopping center. The intersection faces numerous traffic conflicts, including crowded vehicle queues, irregular queuing by motorbikes, and improper lane usage by two- and four-wheeled vehicles. The phase setting of traffic signaling devices (APILL) at the Ciceri intersection has been implemented but has not solved the problem. This research aims to analyze the use of RHK to improve the performance of the Ciceri intersection using the Vissim model. The method is to test or simulate various RHK models at the research location. The results obtained can be applied to the RHK at two intersection legs, namely east and west, with a box-type RHK measuring 8m long and 2 x 3.5m wide, increasing the level of Service (LOS) from E to F. The results show a reduction in queues of 5.64 m and delays of 1.52 seconds on the north leg, as well as a reduction in queues of 7.85 m and a delay of 13.48 seconds on the south leg. These results show that RHK can effectively improve the performance of intersections with high traffic volumes without the need to increase physical road capacity.

The Influence of Climatic and Geographical Conditions on the Volume and Spatial Solutions of Shopping and Entertainment Centers of the Republic of the Congo

The article examines the main climatic and geographic conditions of the Republic of Congo. It was revealed that design in the Republic of Congo is carried out in a warm and humid climate. Based on examples of analyzed construction experience in humid climates, the author made proposals for architectural techniques for organizing the space of shopping and entertainment centers at three hierarchical levels. At the urban planning level, the author proposed organizing the landscape of streets and park areas in such a way as to organize the natural drainage of water from the surface and from the upper balls of the soil. At the level of building formation, techniques are associated with organizing the collection of rainwater through the shaping of the building. The possibilities of protecting retail spaces from rain using canopies are also considered. At the spatial level, it is proposed to drain the swampy area on the territory of the shopping and entertainment center by creating canals. It is proposed to design public areas of shopping centers in such a way that public areas, using their shape, can collect surface water from rain. Further research by the author will be aimed at creating volumetric-spatial methods for organizing shopping center buildings, taking into account the warm, humid climate of the region. Also, further research will be aimed at studying the ventilation of internal open spaces of shopping and entertainment centers. These studies are aimed at creating comfortable urban hygienic conditions within the boundaries of public centers, which should become shopping and entertainment centers.
