Burkholderia pseudomallei Isolate from Soil Adhering to Underground Pipeline Repair pit of a Delhi Market Highlights Importance of Improvising Policies Addressing Environmental Pathogens

Background: Burkholderia pseudomallei is a Gram –negative bacteria that can cause the fatal disease of Melioidosis with mortality ranging from 21-40% in different countries. Further, Burkholderia pseudomallei is a highly resilient environmental pathogen and can live as a free-living bacterium in soil, water and a parasite within amoeba, fungi, and animal cells. It is known to have developed adaptation to stressful environmental factors like salinity, iron levels, and oxidation. Widely this pathogen is associated with agricultural activities, construction activities and hence farmers, laborers being the important target groups. The other risk factor for this disease includes Diabetes mellitus and India having increasing incidence of diabetes cases is a matter of concern as for the prevalence of melioidosis. Since certain states and places in India have higher incidence of diabetes like Delhi, it is quite possible to have higher incidence of Melioidosis in these places.
 Approach: Environmental Screening of urban village that has a convergence of vegetable market and urban households. 
 Results: In this report, we demonstrate the presence of Burkholderia pseudomallei in a 3-4 feet deep pipeline repair pit with a rusted iron pipeline in a busy market area in Kotla, South Delhi.
 Conclusion: Burkholderia pseudomallei being an environmental pathogen, it becomes essential to focus on policies that govern environmental pollution. Thus, the construction and demolition (C&D) policies that govern the dismantling of underground repair pipelines, especially in crowded areas, needed to be followed as it is not only dust that pollutes but also human pathogens.

Emerging disputes over land and leadership in urban villages on the airport reserve in Abidjan

L’étude se concentre sur la prolifération des conflits fonciers et de leadership sur le domaine public d’une ville aéroportuaire en expansion. L’ethnographie montre l’enracinement des conflits et les relie à l’expropriation et la mise à l’écart des propriétaires fonciers coutumiers à Abidjan. Afin de retrouver leur visibilité et leur poids politique, et d’être invités à la table de négociation sur le développement urbain, ils ont géré les ressources foncières d’une manière performative. La reconnaissance politique et le partage de bénéfices ont joué le rôle de motivation principale. La crise du logement et la concurrence entre différents niveaux de gouvernance ont également eu des effets importants.

The driving factors behind urban communities' carbon emissions in the selected urban villages of Jakarta, Indonesia.

As there is a high number of urban communities and residential activities like electricity uses, transportation, food consumption, garbage production, and knowledge on climate change and carbon emissions, these affect the resulting carbon emissions in the city. However, the studies learn about the association between household and human activities, socio-demographic characteristic, carbon emissions and climate change knowledge on urban communities carbon emissions at Jakarta are still rare. This study aimed to assess whether daily human behavior, demographic variables, climate change knowledge, and carbon emissions knowledge affecting carbon emissions of urban communities. A cross-sectional study design was performed via a structured questionnaire survey and a jejakkarbonku application towards 200 respondents who were living in the two selected urban villages of Jakarta, Indonesia (Jatinegara and East Cengkareng). The results revealed that the mean urban communities' carbon emissions in the region were 4.4 tonnes CO2 eq/th. Electricity consumption in the kitchen and dining room produced the most carbon emissions (38.6%), and waste disposal activity produced the least (0.68%). Urban carbon emissions affected by employment status and income level, but not according to food consumption, garbage production, climate change and carbon emission knowledge. Climate change and carbon emissions knowledge influenced by marital and employment status. Although not significant, in theory, these two types of knowledge contribute indirectly to carbon emissions. Further research on the low carbon diet, intervention studies to increase deep awareness on the carbon emissions and climate change is needed to develop strategies reducing carbon emissions at urban communities.

Comparing WorldView-2 and PlanetScope Imagery to Mapping Housing Types Using GEOBIA

The mapping accuracy of housing types plays a vital role in urban planning and development. Choosing the right imagery for urban geospatial analysis matters in terms of spatial or textural resolution. Here we compare the effectiveness of different satellite imagery, namely WorldView-2 (2m resolution) and PlanetScope (3m resolution) to map housing types. The segmentation algorithm employed is SNIC (Simple Non-Iterative Clustering) while SVM (Support Vector Machine) algorithm is for classification. This study assessed the performance of these satellite platforms in capturing to extract spatial and spectral elements of each housing class and differentiating between urban villages (Kampung Kota), government-based housing, and private-based gated housing classes in the Tangerang area. WorldView-2, with its high spatial resolution, provides detailed information, allowing for precise delineation of housing boundaries and distinctive features, whereas Planetscope imagery offers better textural information for the segmentation stage. Despite the coarser details, the SVM classification algorithm achieved an overall accuracy of 65.00% using PlanetScope imagery. Comparative analysis revealed that WorldView-2 imagery outperformed PlanetScope imagery in terms of overall accuracy, with an overall accuracy of 65.52%. The higher spatial resolution of WorldView-2 enables better discrimination of housing types, resulting in more accurate classification. However, PlanetScope imagery provides valuable information, particularly for large-scale urban planning applications. The findings of this study contribute to the field of remote sensing and assist urban planners in making informed decisions regarding housing development and infrastructure planning based on available satellite imagery resources, both of which have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Territorial Invasion: A Behaviour in Sustaining Social Space in a Kampung. A case study: Prawirotaman, Indonesia

Tourism impacts spatial changes in the urban neighbourhood, including Prawirotaman, which is experiencing a loss of social space. The community continues to strive for its social spaces in its private transitional space, namely the house yard and terrace. Hence, this study aims to explore the territorial behaviour of kampung residents amid the neighbourhood transformation. The study focuses on the formation and distribution of interaction spaces within kampung and the residents’ perception of the transitional space territoriality. This study was conducted qualitatively. The observations were conducted after afternoon prayer (Asr) and evening prayer (Maghrib). The data was collected from snapshots and using Global Positioning Systems (GPS), then imported into ArcGIS, and interviews were presented on emotion maps and narratives. The data were analysed with content and behaviour mapping approaches. This research found that territorial invasion can be defined as a local’s territorial behaviour for sustaining social space amid the kampung’s spatial transformation due to tourism. Hence, territoriality is not only related to the spatial modification to control a space. This research contributes to understanding architecture behaviour and policy making, especially in an urban village with tourism activities.

Analyzing Urban Population Growth in the Towns of Non-urban Regions in Java, Indonesia, Using Spatial Analysis

As a high densely populated region, urbanization process in Java has become a regional process as the process is also characterized by the growing out of the urban areas outside the cities’ administrative limit, as well as the rapid growth of urban population in the non-urban regions, known as kabupaten. This process is also indicated by the growth of many towns as urban areas in the territory of kabupaten. In fact, the growth of urban population in kabupaten has become the main contributors of urban population growth in Java in the last decades. By analysing the spatial growth of urbanized villages that form the towns in three kabupaten in the north coast of Central Java, this study aims to examine the characteristics of urban population growth in non-statutory towns in non-urban regions in order to deepening the understanding on urbanization process in high densely populated regions like Java. Urban population growth in the non-urban regions is analysed through a time series analysis on the growth of the towns in the territory of the kabupaten and the growth of the populations who live in the towns along the observation periods. The results show that urban population growth in non-urban region is influenced by rural-to-urbanized villages’ transformation process that triggers three forms of towns’ spatial formations for their growth and development: newly small-town formation process, growing process, and merging process. Therefore, this study suggests better management on the villages’ transformation proces, to have better management of regional urbanization in the future.

The impact of the operation of the Jatiasih toll gate on economic activities in the Jatiasih Sub-district

The JORR E1 (Cikunir-Jatiasih) toll road was was built with the primary goal of improving connectivity between the southern part of Bekasi City and neighboring regions. The construction and opening of the toll gate could yield a range of effects on the community, spanning from positive to negative impacts. This research aims to assess the impact of the Jatiasih toll gate’s operation on economic activities and their externalities based on public perception. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 102 residents of the Jatiasih and Jatimekar urban villages. A quantitative descriptive method with scoring analysis was employed for the analysis. The results indicated that the operation of the Jatiasih toll gate has significantly affected the economic condition of both the Jatiasih and Jatimekar urban villages. In the economic aspect, the operation of the toll gate has led to a considerable transformation of residential functions, with business activities being incorporated into residential properties. This integration has resulted in increased economic activities within a 1 km radius. However, it is important to note that the development of economic activities within this radius has generated negative externalities in the surrounding area. This research emphasizes the importance of monitoring economic activities to better understand economic situations and to facilitate policymaking geared toward sustainable development and management.

Mapping Vulnerability to Flood in Urbanizing Watershed: The Case of Surakarta Urban Region

The vulnerability of urban areas to flooding increased along with the rapid urbanization process. The study selected the Subosukawonosraten (Surakarta, Boyolali, Sukoharjo, Karanganyar, Wonogiri, Sragen, and Klaten) Region as a case study to assess the vulnerability. The ESA framework: exposure, sensitivity, and adaptability—is applied. Exposure is examined using the built-up index in 2020. Sensitivity is assessed based on population density in 2020. Additionally, precipitation and topography are also discussed. The study uses hot spot analysis to pinpoint the most populated and developed areas of the region, which are Surakarta and its peri-urban. Following that, the study investigates to what extent urban villages situated in this hot spot can adapt in light of the floods that often occur in the region. The findings imply that, primarily because of rapid urbanization, the strategy to deal with vulnerability should be considered an important regional-scale strategy that should integrate technical and community-based development approaches to establish a more sustainable strategy for resiliency.

The critical role of community networks in building everyday resilience – Insights from the urban villages of Surabaya

The resilience of a community facing hazards and disastrous events is determined by the degree to which the community owns necessary resources and the capacity to self-organise before, during, and after disasters. Social networks are a key aspect of this ability to self-organise and support their participants in the midst of stresses and shocks. Such networks can help address both large-scale and everyday disasters through a range of measures. This research, therefore, aims to understand how community networks can build resilience, using two detailed case studies from urban kampung (village) communities in Surabaya. A variety of methods, including network analysis, are applied to engage and evaluate the resilience of the communities.The analyses of community networks integrate places for interactions, activities, key actors, impacts on community resilience and strategies for strengthening community networks. The findings suggest three important support networks can enhance community resilience. These comprise of neighbours' networks, women's networks and political networks. This research therefore serves as a significant and strategic tool for policy makers, city planners, and researchers to better understand how community networks can contribute to everyday resilience and support communities to survive and ultimately thrive.

Future indoor overheating risk for urban village housing in subtropical region of China under long-term changing climate

Over the last two decades, China has witnessed a surge in the emergence of urban villages characterized by high building density and significant migrant populations, primarily due to shifts in land use during urbanization. Housings in urban villages with low-cost design strategies, potentially exposing them to indoor overheating risks under climate changes. Given the scarcity of literature analyzing thermal performance of these houses, this study aims to assess the future indoor overheating risk of common urban village house types based on different construction material in subtropical China with two metrics which are Indoor Overheating Hours (IOH) and Indoor Overheating Degree (IOD), and explore effective methods to counter outdoor thermal stress. A four-month on-site measurement was conducted to calibrate the building thermal environment calculation model. Results demonstrate pronounced indoor overheating risks for both selected houses, Traditional Urban Village House (TUVH) and Contemporary Urban Village House (CUVH), particularly under the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) 8.5 scenario. TUVH and CUVH may experience up to 2111 and 4325 overheating hours, respectively, with the IOD reaching 7.1 °C and 10.9 °C. Moreover, employing a global sensitivity analysis, we found that adding opaque shading for external wall is an effective retrofit strategy for TUVH and CUVH. This study contributes to evaluating the thermal performance of urban village houses under long-term climate changes with the findings promoting future retrofit strategy research for urban village houses focusing on housing types and usage pattern of the housings.

Progressively Develop People-centered Urban Transformation: Regenerate Livable, Attractive, Satisfying Urban Villages

This paper explores how to better develop a people-centered urban renewal project in the context of Shenzhens urban villages. In the beginning, this paper explains the background of the emergence of urban villages in Shenzhen and other major cities. Under this context, the participatory observation method is used to analyze the common problems in the renovation of urban villages in Shenzhen, and the housing affordability problem of the original residents for the newly constructed apartments is raised. Presenting the Nantou Ancient City in Shenzhen as positive empirical evidence, this paper explores two recommendations, starting with an emphasis on protective renovation to avoid a short-term boost in housing prices. Following discussion of urban renewal construction projects should not be limited to architectural space. Instead, inclusive community building is still the key to maintaining the former residents and attracting more young people. The condensed conclusion highlights the unity of these two viewpoints and reemphasizes the importance of people-centered development in urban villages.
