Future scenarios in the former oil capital: coastal flooding and social vulnerability in Macaé, RJ.

The accelerated urban growth in Macaé had important consequences on socio-spatial organization, especially about housing spaces that became increasingly difficult to be accessed by the low-income population. The most devalued lands, such as mangroves and floodplains, were occupied by the low-income population. The proposal highlighted in this project focuses directly on the problem of rising sea levels and flooding in the urban space of Macaé, which is of social interest. A simulation of future scenarios with sea level rise above the current one, allowing the identification of areas flooded by marine transgression on a time scale of 100years (for the year 2100). For this, the rate was chosen for the simulation: the greenhouse gas scenario RCP8.5, as given in IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of 2014. A radiative forcing that corresponds to more than 700ppm CO2-eq, but less than 1500ppm, the projected increase is 1m to more than 3m (medium confidence) and more than 3m (medium confidence). This assessment is based on the average confidence in the contribution from thermal expansion and low confidence in the modeled contribution modeled contribution of the ice sheets. Therefore, the climate change-induced global mean sea level rise is caused by thermal expansion of ocean water and ocean mass gain, the latter being mainly due to a decrease in land ice mass. The estimated sea-level rise used for the projection of this study is 2.15, as proposed by Grinsted et al. in 2009.

Public housing and the PINQuA in Italy

ABSTRACT After decades of disinvestment in public housing in Italy, the European Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) opens a window of opportunity for the regeneration of a housing segment displaying multidimensional (structural, spatial, economic, and social) criticalities. The PINQuA (Programma Innovativo Nazionale per la Qualità dell’Abitare), endowed with € 2,8 billion from the RRF, is a national programme, promoted by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Sustainable Mobility (MIMS), aimed at enhancing the quality of housing and urban spaces, with a particular focus on the requalification and increase of the social housing stock and the adoption of innovative models of management and social inclusion. After the identification of 159 projects eligible for funding, it has recently entered the implementation phase, to be concluded until 31 March 2026. As the PINQuA is currently considered the main tool for addressing severe deficiencies in the residential landscape of Italy, high hopes are associated with the programme. The objective of this paper is to understand whether these hopes are justified with respect to the regeneration needs of the Italian public housing stock, analysing (i) to which degree public housing is the object of regeneration activities in PINQuA projects; (ii) which types of regeneration activities have been admitted for funding; (iii) innovative elements that can be identified in projects; and (iv) shortcomings of the programme and related procedures. The research has been developed through document analysis and a series of semi-structured interviews with stakeholders from the public housing sector, public administrations, Federcasa (the Italian Federation of Public and Social Housing Providers) and academics.

Examining the publicness of spaces on European social housing estates: a position paper

The concept of ‘publicness’ addresses the intersection between people and their physical surroundings, and the ways in which they affect each other in an ongoing process. This point of relational exchange is the core concept behind ‘Public Space in European Social Housing’ (PuSH), a three-year HERA-funded project conducted by a transnational, multidisciplinary team of researchers. Large-scale modernist postwar housing estates, often used for social, cooperative, or mass rental housing, tend to be problematised as places of segregation and disintegration in European cities. Yet they are potentially also primary sites for integration between people of different cultural origins and social backgrounds. By investigating publicness in relation to social housing, including cooperative housing and mass rental housing estates, PuSH aims to better understand how cultural encounters happen, and ultimately to reflect on how integration can be better sustained. In this paper, we take a relational conception of publicness as our point of departure to explore the differentiations and intersections between sites and modes of public life in relation to our approach and the social housing estates we investigate. Moreover, we present our conceptual contribution to the concept of publicness, both theoretically and methodologically using multidisciplinary theories and methodologies, and four analytical categories: heritage, practices/policies, democracy, informality, and moreover exhibitions are used as a research tool. This paper is a collaborative output whereby different researchers on the project present their theoretical developments and positions, identify the analytical categories and theoretical vocabularies on which they daw, and reflect on potential ways in which these concepts can be operationalised, and on the synergies that may develop between them. Taken together, our approach offers significant interpretations of publicness in relation to questions of public space, and tackles some of the most pronounced tensions in discussions of public space.

Space Changes of Batik Entrepreneurs’ Houses in Kampung Batik Laweyan Surakarta

Kampung Batik Laweyan is a batik tourist destination located in the city of Surakarta. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Kampung Batik Laweyan was visited by all tourists. During the COVID-19 pandemic, tourism in Kampung Batik Laweyan experienced a decline. Some batik entrepreneurs have switched professions to become culinary entrepreneurs, so currently, several new dining areas are emerging. Architectural changes that occur are changing the function of the space in the batik entrepreneur's house into the dining areas. This study aims to identify changes in the function of space in the houses of batik entrepreneurs in Kampung Batik Laweyan. This research method uses the descriptive-qualitative method. The results of this study are in the form of a description of the changes in the function of space that occur.

지속가능한 국가형성을 위한 주거복지 패러다임의 전환

A necessary element for the formation of a nation is its people, who have been elevated from a “means-value” to a “humanistic value,” and as human beings, citizens must be protected by the state in terms of essential rights and values. They must also be free from state interference and obstruction in realizing these rights and values. Food, clothing, and shelter are essential for human survival. Currently, housing has become a means of accumulating wealth and a symbol of economic status and position. However, the physical space of housing is not only a place of residence but also an emotional home and the foundation of humanity. Housing cannot be left to be a means of profit-seeking or wealth accumulation. Housing policy should be a policy for all citizens, and it should be aimed at developing and maintaining a middle class of at least 80% of the population in order to ensure the sustainable and healthy development of the country. Universal housing stability should be implemented for the entire population, except for the top 10% of asset holders based on labor income. Simply enacting the “Basic Housing Act” as a law under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport would not fully address the issue of housing welfare. Housing welfare in Korea must consider housing, education, transportation, and the environment comprehensively based on a paradigm shift in housing. In the current Korean situation, education and housing policies must be connected and directed towards the right direction. In terms of climate crisis response, housing policy must establish a new direction for improving the housing environment, including transportation and reconstruction. If climate crisis is discussed but not included in housing policy, the sincerity and effectiveness of climate response policy will be undermined. Housing, workplace, and education should be based on a certain area, and mobility should be possible within the jurisdiction of the basic local government. The beginning of housing welfare is when an average wage earner can secure a residence in a place where educational conditions and social infrastructure are in place while minimizing physical and temporal distance from their workplace, which is a socially universal phenomenon. A society where ordinary workers can save a certain amount of money from their usual household expenses and use financial tools such as public loans to secure stable housing is a normal and sustainable society. Housing must not be left to become a means of accumulating wealth and a starting point for inequality. To secure stable housing, the paradigm of housing policy should shift towards policies where profit-seeking is prohibited in living spaces through the public role and participation of non-profit organizations.

Can Public Spaces Alleviate Poverty-Related Feelings? Content Analysis of Vision 2030 and Egyptian Residents’ Storytelling

This study argues that Vision 2030 and social housing should consider the elements of the sociocultural dimension of urban design (SDUD) to alleviate urban poverty-induced feelings. By examining public spaces in the context of Vision 2030 and the implementation of social housing projects, this study aims to provide a theoretical framework that may assist city policymakers in rethinking the role of public spaces in alleviating poverty-related feelings. A review of the relevant literature explores the SDUD elements and builds an index to measure poverty through bibliometric and content analysis. This index was used to analyze the gaps in Vision 2030 in South Africa, Kenya, and Egypt, which we randomly chose. It focused on SDUD elements, social housing, and public spaces. We empirically examined the role of public spaces in alleviating poverty-related feelings using the SDUD index. We applied episodic narrative and interview-based storytelling techniques to a limited group of poor residents in the Al Asmarat Housing Project in Mokattam, Cairo, Egypt. This interview discusses the role of public spaces in reducing poverty-related feelings. The results focus on exploring the four SDUD elements of poverty and examining how public spaces alleviate poverty-induced feelings. Vision 2030 revolves around SDUD elements, social housing, and public spaces. Urban design policies can alleviate poverty in development projects for the poor. Integrating urban design policies into Vision 2030 makes city dwellers in developing countries feel less inferior.

Changes in Traditional Houses Due to Fishermen's Habitus Changing into Farmers' Habitus in The Sentani Traditional Society in Jayapura Regency

The traditional house of the Sentani indigenous people is an ancestral formation that aims to protect its citizens from outside intervention and defend themselves from tribal wars as a unit in forming a pattern of defense settlements. This ancestral formation has been maintained until now as the traditional house of the Sentani indigenous people, whose lives are fishermen and farmers. From the previous research, research on changes in the habitus of traditional communities, from living on the water to living on land, has never been carried out, especially among traditional indigenous peoples. No research reveals that changes in the habitus of traditional indigenous peoples still maintain a collective living space to protect indigenous peoples from life interventions from outside the traditional indigenous community. The research method used is a qualitative approach using the Intrinsic Case Study Approach model with the nature of descriptive research. Data analysis in this study used the method of Discovering Cultural Themes. The locus of this research is the two oldest villages written in historical references. The data collection method used observation, in-depth participant interviews, measurable pictures, and photographs. The results showed that the change in the habitus of fishermen to that of farmers is part of a cultural change caused by changes in resource capital affecting changes in the shape of traditional houses. These changes caused the types, methods, actors, places, and meanings of activities in the traditional houses of the Sentani indigenous people to change from life on the water to life on the ground, resulting in changes in the shape, ornament, space, position, and meaning of the traditional houses of the Sentani indigenous people.

Construction planning and scheduling of a precast house extension using a multi-objective genetic algorithm and 4D building information modelling

Background: As a result of the rising costs of housing in Kuwait, several families find it increasingly challenging to purchase new homes. Typically, Kuwaitis carry out extensions of the existing housing spaces they possess, to accommodate their growing families. In the management and execution of house extension projects, construction planning and scheduling are complex albeit critical tasks. Building information modeling (BIM) and optimization techniques have become crucial tools for improving these two critical processes. Methods: This study aimed to integrate 4D BIM and multi- objective optimization using a genetic algorithm (MOGA) for construction planning and scheduling of a precast house extension. A case study was undertaken for a two-storey family house in Kuwait, which has been extended by two additional floors using the precast method. The extension of the house has its own foundation and support, with a design that adheres to Le Corbusier's five points of architecture. The Autodesk Revit software was used to generate a three-dimensional architectural model of the house extension. Results and Discussion: After running the MOGA based on the developed schedule, optimal results were obtained as a Pareto front with 70 combinations across workers' cost and construction time. The preferred schedule was selected and fed into Autodesk Navisworks to generate a 4D BIM model. Navisworks was used to simulate the house extension, accompanied by its scheduling information. Conclusion: The amalgamation of a multi-objective algorithm with 4D BIM may be employed to efficaciously plan and schedule building projects, allowing for quality decision-making.

Europe as a big house – examining plantation logics in contemporary Europe

ABSTRACT As a way to address the current postcolonial moment, characteristic of ongoing relations of resource extraction and border control, we turn to the metaphor of the plantation, offering an interpretation of Katherine McKittrick’s idea of plantation logics. Plantation museums, centered on former planters’ mansions (the ‘big house’) in the U.S., are important vehicles for narrating the historical period of slavery. However, such historical sites have traditionally steered away from addressing the role of enslavement in the production of the space of the big house. This erasure of the enslaved obscures the spatial and social relationality of the plantation. While continental Europe lacks these plantation houses and thus museums, it is no less important for the former colonial states in Europe to narrate their own historical involvement in slavery and, equally important, its contemporary legacies. In both contexts, we see a selective remembering of the past that is grounded in a spatial and temporal distancing of the plantation that renders the centrality of slavery to the production and reproduction of Europe invisible. In this article, we use the metaphor of the big house to illustrate how the logic of the plantation is replicated across scales of time and space. We argue that a failure to recognize the ongoing reality of the plantation logic as embodied by the European big house enables its reproduction, including in the environmental catastrophe of the Plantationocence. A consideration of Maroon geographies explores narrations of the plantation that point to a way forward to alternative futures.

손창섭 소설 속에 나타나는 사건의 중심으로서의 주거 공간 의미 연구

The purpose of this study is to examine the residential space where the works of Son Chang-seop, a representative artist of the 1950s, were created. In the previous research, the space appearing in Son Chang-seop’s novels, especially the housing space, is drawn as a gloomy and shady space or a ‘immortal space’ in relation to the characters, and the 'house' in Son Chang-seop’s novel is “not a space for rest, but a place for psychiatric Humans who have been damaged under a microscope are drawn as a borderline that responds to light, or as a place where patients who have no will to live saw their last life.”
 The spaces in Son Chang-seop’s works do not consistently remain simple spaces, but serve as a starting point and central background for an event to occur in each space. In particular, when Son Chang-seop’s works are divided into early (1950's) and late (mid-to-late 1960's), unlike the description of the space in the early days, the perception changes in the latter period. The most representative example is 『Road』(1969). can hear
 On the other hand, the spaces in Son Chang-seop’s novels symbolize the postwar Korea. There are similarities between the people living in Korean society at the time, where the scars of war remain intact, and the characters staying in the spaces of Son Chang-seop’s novels. In addition to the existing discussions, this study examines that the spaces appearing in Son Chang-seop’s works do not merely play a role of supporting the characters’ inner world, but act as ‘the center of the narrative’ that actively intervenes in the narrative of the work. Furthermore, I would like to examine the relationship between the post-war Korean society, the space in Son Chang-seop’s novels, and the characters living in that space.

노숙인 지원주택 사례 연구

This study aims to propose an improvement direction for supportive housing for the homeless by investigating the characteristics of the housing environment, the use status of support services use, and manager requirements for the managers of supportive housing. To this end, on-site surveys of supportive housing were conducted, and in-depth interviews were conducted with supervisors in charge of service and management. The study findings were as follows: First, as the family relationship recovers after moving in, the supply of supportive housing of various sizes and plan designs for homeless people and families must be considered. Second, it is necessary to review the establishment of spatial planning standards so that supportive housing facilities can be planned as barrier-free designs that can be safely used by residents in consideration of their age and health status. Third, the community space and manager’s office space in the supportive housing should be independently planned to supportive housing to promote the manager’s safety and work efficiency. Fourth, institutional improvements are needed to provide managers with minimum and essential medical history information about the residents in order to respond quickly and appropriately to emergencies occurring in supportive housing. Fifth, among the services provided by supportive housing, it is necessary to consider introducing a policy that requires residents to participate in services related to illness or safety.

Line Follower and Bluetooth Controlled Robot

Abstract: Our proposal is a vehicle that can follow a straight path. It can follow a line until it reaches the end of the line and then pause until the return instruction is issued. This can be used to convey items from a car to a destination (at the end of the line) within a house or small work space. Another advantage of the project is that it can be controlled via Bluetooth. A car is a differential wheeled vehicle, which is a mobile vehicle with two independently powered wheels on either side of the vehicle body. To operate the automobile through bluetooth, a mobile application for the joystick was downloaded. We may choose whether the car should act as a line follower or Bluetooth via the application

Equitable Urban Planning: Harnessing the Power of Comprehensive Plans.

Describe the role of comprehensive plans in promoting health equity in urban communities. Specifically, the review aims to identify recent findings related to using comprehensive plans to shape social determinants of health and to discuss the challenges that comprehensive plans face in promoting health equity. The review also presents recommendations for how urban planners, public health practitioners, and policymakers can work together to promote health equity through comprehensive planning efforts. The evidence highlights the importance of comprehensive plans in promoting health equity in communities. These plans can shape the social determinants of health, such as housing, transportation, and green space, which significantly impact health outcomes. However, comprehensive plans face challenges related to the lack of data and understanding of the social determinants of health and the need for collaboration between multiple sectors and community groups. To effectively promote health equity through comprehensive plans, a standardized framework that incorporates health equity considerations is needed. This framework should include common goals and objectives, guidance on assessing potential impacts, performance metrics, and community engagement strategies. Urban planners and local authorities play a critical role in developing clear guidelines for integrating health equity considerations into planning efforts. Harmonizing comprehensive plan requirements across the USA are also essential to ensure equitable access to opportunities for health and well-being.

Eco-City-Based Sustainable Settlement Planning In Bengkayang New City Area

The inability of a city to the pressure of increasing activity in urban areas which has encouraged the expansion of development into suburban areas is a phenomenon that often occurs in major urban centers. With the development of a new area, it can be a solution to solving urban problems, expanding the availability of housing and infrastructure, and reducing disparities between the main city and suburban areas. The development of a new city, in addition to physically changing the suburban area, can also have a socio-economic impact on the people, as a challenge to fulfill the welfare of the urban housing phenomenon. Bengkayang Regency is one of the developing districts. As one of the border frontier cities in West Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, Bengkayang is the main border gate between Indonesia and neighboring Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam. The great potential of Bengkayang Regency has not been supported by adequate urban planning and arrangement, which can reflect unique regional characteristics (local wisdom). The local government has established a policy regarding the development of a new city in Bengkayang, which is located in the Bumi Sebalo Village. This study aims to carry out sustainable settlement planning in the New City Area of Bengkayang based on Eco-City. Determination of the location based on the new Bengkayang city master plan data, namely in the sub BWP housing and green open space, with a descriptive qualitative analysis method. Settlement planning carried out includes aspects of housing, area support facilities and public green open spaces. The direction for housing arrangement uses a balanced residential concept, with a cluster system without guardrails, a grid pattern following the contours and condition of the land, pedestrian-friendly, and utilizing natural potential in the form of river flows as public open space areas and jogging tracks. Commercial facilities as supporting areas are placed on main road access with more strategic functions. Public green open space as a means of socializing and recreation on a city scale, how many sub-BWP green open spaces are equipped with urban forests as bearers of ecological functions, playgrounds, water fountains, amphitheater, street vendor areas to support the local community's economy, festival market areas as well as several tourist and cultural attractions as support activity.

The determinants of the mobility patterns of the elderly in Switzerland

Like most industrialized countries, Switzerland is characterized by an aging population. However, it differentiates itself from other countries because of its low home-ownership rate. Also, the lack of specialized housing for the elderly encourages them to stay in their current accommodation instead of moving to a smaller place thereby vacating space for family housing. Given this challenge, it is important for governments as well as other housing providers to understand better the needs of the elderly with respect to their housing situation and their patterns of mobility. Accordingly, our research aims to identify the key determinants that trigger the intention, on the part of the elderly in Switzerland, to move. For this purpose, we use secondary data obtained from the Swiss Household Panel, which is a longitudinal social sciences survey which annually interviews a random sample of private households in Switzerland using computer-assisted interviewing. We focus on respondents aged 60 and older over the period from 2013 to 2018, and our sample includes 13 313 observations. We investigate the role of intentions to move as a function of socio-demographic factors, health and life events, dwelling characteristics as well as satisfaction factors. By exploring the importance of these elements on the intention to move within a logistic regression model framework, we confirm the findings of recent studies including those that affirm that the willingness to move decreases with age, and that the elderly do not adapt the size of their home for a smaller dwelling. In addition, while we find no evidence for the impact of dwelling characteristics and health or life events, we provide empirical evidence for socio-demographic and satisfaction factors that influence the intention to move. From our results, we observe that not being satisfied with the accommodation, living in the German-speaking region of Switzerland, judging the accommodation to be too large, and being a tenant, all increase the intention to move. Our findings contribute to the welfare of the elderly in Switzerland by helping governments as well as private entities to plan housing adapted to their needs better.

The Politics of Population Health.

Policy Points Despite increased spending and consuming more health care services than any other country in the world, the United States global health rankings experience continued decline, including worsening performance in life expectancy and mortality owing to lack of investment in and strategies on the upstream determinants of health. These determinants of health are found in our access to adequate, affordable, and nutritious food options; safe housing, blue and green spaces; reliable and safe transportation; education and literacy; opportunities for economic stability; and sanitation, among other important factors and all share a common root driver in the political determinants of health. Health systems are increasingly investing in programs and exerting influence over policies to address these upstream determinants of health, including population health management, however these programs will continue to be hindered without addressing the political determinants through government, voting, and policy. Although these investments are laudable, it is important to understand what gives rise to the social determinants of health and-more importantly-why have they disproportionately and detrimentally affected historically marginalized communities and vulnerable populations for so long? Deeply entrenched and pervasive throughout society, the political determinants of health are the fundamental instigators of these unjust and inequitable outcomes.

Excavated Earth Area Maximization as a Basement and Outdoor Living Space on a Sloped Terrain Housing

The cut-and-fill technique frequently creates a space for housing on sloped terrain. Some developers use the contours of the land on sloped terrain for garden areas instead of developing it into space to reduce production costs when building houses. By developing structures for building reinforcement, this research seeks to use the excavated earth area in the sloped terrain as storage space and outdoor living space. A single case study in a Malang City home situated on a sloping terrain served as the research approach. Primary data were collected through field surveys and customer interviews to determine the design of the room based on space requirements. Secondary data for this study also comes from a literature review. The first step for the architect is to plan the room’s layout following the client’s requirements. The next stage is to choose the foundation for the project by taking the soil’s structure and condition. The final stage is also decided upon the outdoor living space’s finishing material and the furniture for the outdoor room. The final result indicates that the excavated earth area is beneficial as a storage place at the bottom and an outdoor living area at the top. Outdoor living spaces are beneficial because they provide extra space and address home design issues by reducing the spread of airborne viruses like Covid-19. Maximizing excavated earth as a warehouse space and functioning as an outdoor living space is one of the applications of sustainable design in architecture.

The Concept of Healthy Building with Green Open Space Integration on Condominium Design in Medan

One factor that influences public health is the quality of the health of the residential environment, which is determined by the quality of the green open space. The role of green open space in housing is to make residents who stay inside feel like being in nature, not like in a crowded room, to improve the psychological health of residents. This study aims to explore condominium designs that have good oxygen levels, avoid air pollution and inhibit the spread of the virus so that the condominium can improve the physical health of residents. The method used descriptive qualitative in the form of a literature study. The results of this study produce healthy building designs with natural lighting and ventilation in housing that saves energy use, cool air humidity, a building site that is free from air pollution and noise by vehicles, reusable water quality, residential safety, green open space that can provide good oxygen levels, and green open space that connected to the indoor area.

Habitabilidad y salud en espacios interiores de viviendas de interés social, mediante la percepción de sus habitantes

The characteristics and qualities of the interior spaces of houses, their physical and environmental sensations, contribute to define their perception of the place they inhabit and establish habitability and design guidelines attached to the sustainable development objectives (SDG) 2030, related to all human activities for their well-being and health established in objective 3 and according to objective 11, it is necessary to have decent housing to inhabit. The purpose of the research was to analyze the factors of thermal and environmental perception for habitability in interior spaces of social interest housing and possible damage to human health, in post-COVID-19 time, in urban areas. The variables were: temperature, humidity, wind, lighting, noise, and carbon dioxide (CO₂), which were considered for the study of preferences, developed in Los Mochis, Sinaloa. The study subjects were the residents of the Infonavit Macapule and Palos Verdes housing complexes, where the survey focused on the following sections was carried out; inhabitant data, housing and health considerations, conditions; thermal, light, sound and odors inside the home, with Rensis Likert scale responses, to estimate the variables through a descriptive statistical analysis with association of frequencies and differences in their behavior. The results showed significant differences in the level of perception, experience and environmental adaptation, which allowed us to identify that the perception was found outside the comfort ranges and with a greater spread in terms of health effects.
