This study explores the transformative impact of technological advancements, specifically satellite imagery and GPS systems, on the urban landscape perceptions of Baghdad residents. With urban environments increasingly integrating digital technologies, understanding these changes is vital for urban planning and improving urban life quality. This research examines how technology integration affects residents' connections to their city, influencing navigation, social interactions, and urban experiences. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study combines qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys, using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis to evaluate the relationship between technology usage and urban perception. Baghdad serves as an ideal case study due to its historical significance and rapid urban development, offering a rich context for analyzing traditional and digital navigation intersections. The study addresses how to integrate digital technologies into urban settings without eroding cultural identity and familiarity with landmarks essential to heritage and belonging. Findings reveal that while GPS enhances navigational efficiency, it leads to decreased familiarity with physical landmarks, with respondents showing moderate reliance on GPS (mean score 2.77) and low landmark familiarity (mean score 1.27). Despite this, a strong emotional connection to the city persists, indicating that digital tools have not fully diminished sensory and emotional engagement with Baghdad's urban landscape.

With the development and widespread adoption of smart machines, researchers across various disciplines and fields are exploring the contributions of computers and intelligent machines to human science and society through interdisciplinary collaboration. In this study, we investigated the potential applications of artificial intelligence and multi-source big data in the selection and design of urban greenways, using the city of Nanjing as a case study. Utilizing computer vision technology and the DeepLabV3+ neural network model, we analyzed over 320,000 street view images and 530,000 fine-grained urban data points from Nanjing. We also trained the place space material quantification model using the Street Space Greening Structure (S.S.G.S) dataset. This dataset not only achieved high-precision semantic segmentation but also surpassed previous datasets in predicting greenery at the street level. The performance metrics for this model are as follows: MIoU is 0.6344, Recall is 0.7287, and Precision is 0.8074. Through Robust regression, we identified several micro and macro-level factors influencing the Panoramic View Green View Index (PVGVI). The results indicate that multiple factors have significant positive or negative effects on PVGVI. This research not only provides new decision-making tools for landscape architecture and urban planning but also opens new avenues for applying artificial intelligence in urban environmental studies.

This article provides a brief overview of various archaeological discoveries from around the world. In Virginia, archaeologists found sealed glass bottles in George Washington's home, potentially containing remnants of a popular 18th-century beverage. In England, a bathhouse in Carlisle revealed high-quality artifacts, including Tyrian purple dye, suggesting visits by upper-class Romans. Chaco Canyon in New Mexico had numerous settlements within hearing distance of conch-shell trumpets, potentially used for important announcements. Teotihuacan in Mexico may have collapsed due to seismic damage caused by five megathrust earthquakes. In Italy, the discovery of five canoes in Lake Bracciano suggests the oldest boats in the Mediterranean region. In Germany, a 4,200-year-old grave belonging to the Bell Beaker culture was found, potentially indicating a fear of revenants. The Wuwangdun tomb in China is believed to be the largest and most luxurious tomb in the ancient Chu State. A fortified compound in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula may have been associated with the military campaigns of Thutmose III. Lidar scanning and fieldwork in Tonga revealed ancient earthen mounds and a network of roads, potentially indicating the first city in the South Pacific. Excavations on Lizard Island in Australia uncovered 2,000 to 3,000-year-old ceramic sherds, challenging previous beliefs about Aboriginal pottery-making. [Extracted from the article]

This Lilliput article provides a literature overview on ecological effects of the plant microbiome with a focus on practical application in forestry, agriculture and urban greenspace under the spectre of climate change. After an overview of the mostly bacterial microbiome of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, worldwide data from forests reveal ecological differentiation with respect to major guilds of predominantly fungal plant root symbionts. The plant‐microbiome association forms a new holobiont, an integrated unit for ecological adaptation and evolutionary selection. Researchers explored the impact of the microbiome on the capacity of plants to adapt to changing climate conditions. They investigated the impact of the microbiome in reforestation programs, after wildfire, drought, salination and pollution events in forestry, grasslands and agriculture. With increasing temperatures plant populations migrate to higher latitudes and higher altitudes. Ecological studies compared the dispersal capacity of plant seeds with that of soil microbes and the response of soil and root microbes to experimental heating of soils. These studies described a succession of microbiome associations and the kinetics of a release of stored soil carbon into the atmosphere enhancing global warming. Scientists explored the impact of synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) on rice productivity or tea quality; of whole soil addition in grassland restoration; or single fungal inoculation in maize fields. Meta‐analyses of fungal inoculation showed overall a positive effect, but also a wide variation in effect sizes. Climate change will be particularly prominent in urban areas ("urban heat islands") where more than half of the world population is living. Urban landscape architecture will thus have an important impact on human health and studies started to explore the contribution of the microbiome from urban greenspace to ecosystem services.

The modern architectural heritage is the core carrier of city's historical inheritance and vitality. Its value is related to the spatial and temporal evolution of the urban landscape, along with the collective memory of society and transformation in public life. The contradiction between high-speed urban construction and architectural heritage preservation has proliferated, and the problems of loss of heritage culture and fading of relics are very significant, but there is a lack of research on modern architectural heritage. This study analysed in-depth the artistic archetypes and evolutionary characteristics of the architecture of Zhongshan Park in Xiamen through field research and historical data collation, adopting the theory method of architectural typology. Afterwards, we analysed the architectural typology of Zhongshan Park in Xiamen and the process of acculturation and translation with foreign cultures, explored the motives of its formation and the cultural meanings of the public space embodied in it. Based on this, we proposed a sustainable development heritage approach for the modern architectural heritage of Zhongshan Park in Xiamen. Our results indicate that modern architectural art has inherited classical Chinese historical and cultural traditions and ideological foundations. Its unique characteristics reflect the spirit of the times and result from the gradual development of Western influence. Moreover, it embodies a strong sense of national identity. These findings enrich the academic research on the cultural interaction between Chinese and Western architecture, offering valuable insights for the conservation and living heritage of modern architectural heritage in other regions.

URBAN landscape architecture ,PLANT nurseries ,FULVIC acids ,ORNAMENTAL horticulture ,CITIES & towns - Abstract
Ornamental horticulture and breeding, as well as urban landscape architecture, are facing increasing challenges driven by an intensely changing climate and urbanisation. The expansion of cities should be combined with an overall growth of green spaces, where ornamental plant species and cultivars will have to withstand a diverse range of environmental conditions, whereby they are often exposed to multiple stress factors. One of the most widely used ornamental shrub species Weigela florida 'Eva Rathke' was treated with the growth promoters Bistep with humic and fulvic acid, Kelpak
® seaweed extract, and Yeald Plus with a high zinc content to test their applicability in a plant nursery. Bistep decreased the physiological parameters (the transpiration rate by 60%, the evapotranspiration rate by 56.5%, and the proline stress enzyme content level by 82.2%), indicating the stress level of the treated plants. The activity of β-glucosidase decreased with all growth-promoting treatments (11.5% for Kelpak and 9.5% for Yeald Plus), as did β-glucosaminidase (22.1% for Kelpak and 9.8% for Yeald Plus), but Bistep treatment reduced the activity of the enzymes less (9.9% for β-glucosidase and 3.3% for β-glucosaminidase). The measured alkaline phosphatase enzyme activity increased with treatment (by 10.7% for Kelpak, 11.7% for Yeald Plus, and 12.63% for Bistep). Based on the results, it was concluded that Bistep and Yeald Plus may be suitable for use in the studied variety, whereas Kelpak® may not be suggested in plant nurseries for growing W. florida 'Eva Rathke' plants.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: As an integral component of urban space, green space assumes a pivotal role in the purification and filtration of air, provision of recreational opportunities, and augmentation of the aesthetic allure of the urban landscape. In contemporary urban settings, the significance of urban green spaces is widely acknowledged and embraced as an indispensable facet of the city. The consequences of urban expansion and the resulting environmental problems have indefinitely made the presence of green spaces and their proper distribution essential. Meanwhile, it is necessary to pay attention to achieving spatial balance in the distribution of urban parks, as they are an important component of urban green spaces, particularly in large cities. The population in Karaj city in Iran, has experienced an excessive increase, particularly in the last three decades. This has resulted in the rapid expansion of urban areas the destruction of the natural landscape and the structural pattern of both natural and artificial ecosystems. The city of Karaj, formerly known as Baghshahr, has transformed into a metropolis, with only a few traces of its once abundant urban green spaces remaining. This research aims to evaluate the demand for green space and the distribution capacity among the districts of 3 and 8 of Karaj city. The objective of the current study is to provide solutions based on spatial justice to increase the use of green space. METHODS: The current research utilizes a combination of descriptive-analytical and critical methods, as well as documentary and survey methods. To analyze and evaluate the condition of green spaces and their mapping, information, and data from relevant organizations and satellite images have been utilized within specific spatial-temporal scales and GIS software. FINDINGS: The results showed that the highest weight obtained was related to participation, with a weight of 0.118. This was followed by social capital, with a weight of 0.116 percent. The lowest weight was related to public services, with a weight of 0.040. CONCLUSION: District 3 has more green space than District 8 due to the presence of gardens and trees planted by the municipality on the outskirts of the district. Additionally, the political ecology in these neighborhoods has not been impacted by District 3. However, Jahanshahr and Molana neighborhoods in District 8 have a high per capita population due to their small population and large areas of parks. Additionally, the presence of Family, fruit, Fateh and small Iran Gardens, contribute to the high population density in these neighborhoods. However other areas in the district experience a significant shortage of urban green spaces and are affected by the influence of political ecology at both the neighborhood and regional levels.

This article explores three recently published books on urban planning that delve into the characteristics and resilience of ideal, iconic communities. One book, "Iconic Planned Communities and the Challenge of Change," offers case studies of planned communities from around the world. Another book, "Sunnyside Gardens," focuses on a specific community in Queens, New York. The third book, "John Nolen: Landscape Architect and City Planner," traces the career of America's first city planner. The article highlights the connections and influences among different planners and designers of these communities, emphasizing the belief that well-designed physical environments can promote social well-being and a sense of community. It also discusses common design elements of planned communities, such as grid patterns, mix of housing types, and the presence of a town center. The article examines the resilience and challenges faced by planned communities over time, using case studies like Sunnyside, Greenbelt, and Seaside to illustrate how they have adapted to changes in transportation, governance, housing preferences, and population diversity. It underscores the importance of community support and a sense of place in preserving the original design and heritage of planned communities, concluding that the quality of the initial planning is vital for ensuring the long-term viability and distinctive features of iconic planned communities.

Effective utilization of solar energy in buildings is crucial for achieving sustainable outcomes and mitigating the impacts of climate change. However, the current approaches for assessing solar energy potential suffer from limitations that hinder progress in this area. Manual assessments lack precision and fail to fully exploit the renewable energy potential available in buildings, resulting in missed opportunities for energy savings and generation. To address this important challenge, we employ advanced techniques combining artificial intelligence (AI) and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) imagery to extract precise building footprints and roof sections. Through this process, we leverage AI algorithms to calculate the 3D geometry of roof areas. This information enables us to determine the maximum capacity of each roof for hosting solar panels, thus optimizing energy generation potential, from individual buildings to city-wide implementations. Furthermore, we utilize solar radiation Geospatial models and AI algorithms to estimate the potential solar radiation received by each roof in kilowatt-hours per square meter (kWh/m2). By combining this data with the previously calculated roof capacity, we assess the solar energy potential of each roof, identifying areas with the highest potential for energy savings. Our main findings reveal that our proposed model enhances the accuracy and efficiency of solar energy assessments. By harnessing the power of AI and Geospatial, we can identify the most suitable roofs for installing solar panels, ensuring the greatest benefits in terms of energy production and savings. Our paper highlights the crucial role of technology and innovation in accelerating sustainable outcomes in climate smart engineering. By leveraging AI and LiDAR technology, we offer a scalable solution that not only maximizes energy potential but also contributes to the broader goal of achieving a more sustainable and climate-resilient future across diverse urban landscapes.

The urban and landscape professions of the 21st century are developing diverse theoretical and practical models that they apply in solving the problems of the modern city. One of these models is landscape urbanism, which can be understood as a newer way of looking at the city and its infrastructure again, incorporating the relationship between the city and nature, and ecological and landscape principles into its fundamental core. In a theoretical but also a practical sense, it suggests new modalities that are considered to be able to contribute to the current problems of modern cities, especially those related to the ecology of the city. By reviewing the development stages, methodological framework and practical applications, this paper determines the potentials and limitations of the concept of landscape urbanism and suggests modalities of application in the modern city.

This study examines the relationship between the presence of greenery and natural elements in urban green spaces (UGSs), and visitors' attachment, and well-being. Four UGSs in Gaza City were selected based on criteria that ensured representation of various types, sizes, locations, and green features. A survey instrument was designed to assess visitors' perceptions of greenery and natural elements, attachment to UGSs, and well-being. The survey was validated by seven experts in landscape architecture and urban planning. Results show that visitors' perceptions of greenery and natural elements significantly affect their place attachment, happiness, health, and motivation to visit. The provision and maintenance of greenery and natural elements in UGSs should be a priority for urban planners and policymakers to create and maintain green spaces that are beneficial for visitors' well-being. These findings have important implications for urban planning and design in promoting sustainable and healthy urban environments. Further research is needed to investigate the potential causal relationships between visitors' perceptions, and their well-being, and to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions aimed at improving these perceptions.

It is known that the concept of Ecopsychology, which evaluates the concepts of ecology and psychology together, is a field of study that has developed especially in recent years due to activities that have negative effects on the environment, such as intense urbanization, rapid industrialization, and the use of lands outside of their qualification The study tried to tried to explain when, how, where and by whom the concept of Ecopsychology, whose importance is increasing daily, began to be evaluated, what the main concepts were, and their relations with each other. The Web of Science (WOS) database is determined as the study universe. Through bibliometric analyses revealed their relations based on frequently used keywords, authors, citation status, journals, and the countries where the publication occurred. When the scope of the journals in which scientific documents are published is evaluated, it is possible to say that ecopsychology is a multidisciplinary field of study, including landscape architecture and urban planning as well as ecology and psychology disciplines. It has been determined that 353 documents related to the concept of ecopsychology have been included in the WOS database to date, 253 of these documents are in the form of scientific articles, and the most publications were made in 2020 with 43 articles. With 497 citations, the highest number of citations was to the Journal of Environmental Psychology, and the most frequently used keywords were scale, health and behavior. It is seen that studies on the subject have tended to increase in recent years. It has been determined that the number of scientific articles on the study subject has stabilized especially since 2017. The tendency to conduct scientific research on the subject is high, especially in the United States. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

State of the problem. The article outlines the natural and anthropogenic foundations of urban landscapes and the organization and modeling of ecological carcasses. Currently, the impact of human activity in the area, on the landscapes, especially on urban landscapes, sometimes leads to the fundamental change and reconstruction of several landscape units or components, the degradation of the sensitive ecosystems of the area, and the creation of completely anthropogenic complexes. Object learning. The main object learning is as follows; study of the differentiation characteristics of the factors influencing the formation of modern geosystems (relief, climate, hydrological and hydrogeological conditions, etc.), researching eco-geographical problems caused by anthropogenic changes, drawing up a map with appropriate content on a large scale, structural and functional characteristics of modern natural geosystems spreading in the research area, exposure to severe anthropogenic influences, study of ecological problems, studying the structural-functional aspects, levels of anthropogenic loading and assimilation, as well as the ecological condition of the modern natural geosystems spreading in the research area, complex study of optimization and large-scale ecological stability, drawing up of ecological potential assessment maps of landscapes. The purpose of this study is the landscape ecological formation of urban landscapes in the Republic of Azerbaijan, the optimization of urban landscapes, the analysis and generalization of urban development processes at the level of urban creation and living environment, and the determination of the main regularities of the formation of this environment, taking into account innovation and traditional processes. Methodology. Ecological analyses were carried out on relevant urban landscapes, and four environmental hazard zones were identified in Ganja, and three in Mingachevir (1: 20000) scale ecological risk maps were drawn up. In the end, the principles of the organization of "ecosystems" based on the optimization of both urban landscapes were analyzed. Research results. The degree of anthropogenic disturbance of the territory was determined, and a map-scheme of the ecogeographic assessment of landscape complexes was drawn up. The study of anthropogenic changes in natural landscapes and the evaluation of the anthropogenic impact in percentage according to digital electronic map fragments was carried out. In the ArcGIS program, the inclination and exposure of slopes in the area, the hypsometry of the relief in the area, the density of roads, the ecogeographical condition of modern urban landscapes, risk zones, and optimization of urban landscapes, etc. maps have been drawn up. The scientific novelty of the research. The importance and functional role of the city as a complex living environment for the country's population is defined. In the process of city planning in the Republic of Azerbaijan, the face of the city, the composition system of urban architecture, innovations, and traditional features are determined. The main city-forming function and role of the river were determined in the studied cities. And the linear features of the development of the cities, and the differences in formation were determined and analyzed. Accordingly, each of the cities has its own unique development models. Environmental problems of cities were investigated and environmental risk and optimization maps were drawn up. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As a highly used form of architecture, public facilities are closely related to people's daily lives. The aesthetic level of their design greatly affects the quality of people's lives and interactions, as well as the appearance of the whole area. However, research on their design elements has not received enough attention, and few quantitative studies on the design of public facilities simultaneously focus on multiple influencing factors such as color and material. Therefore, this study uses eye-tracking technology and audience aesthetic preference evaluation to explore the appropriate combination of color and materials in sign design. This study found that, in the design of public facilities and in terms of aesthetic preference, firstly, color has more influence on subjective preference and objective gaze behavior than material. Secondly, men prefer technological and changeable colors and materials, and women prefer soft and uniform materials. Finally, visitors spend more time gazing at their preferred signs, which means that visitors' top-down gaze behavior and bottom-up psychological perception are highly unified. Regarding material perception, visitors' subjective preferences are influenced by the physical or cultural properties of the material itself. This study's results will provide suggestions for future urban and landscape architecture design in terms of color and material aesthetics, and the research methodology can be applied to more scenarios in environmental spaces.

The Northwest mountainous region of Vietnam is bordered to the north by China and to the west by Laos, including six provinces of Lao Cai, Yen Bai, Lai Chau, Dien Bien, Hoa Binh, and Son La. This is the land of forests, mountains, hills, valleys rivers and streams. The land of cultural diversity, within the community of more than twenty ethnic minorities, living with their own customs and lifestyles, has many unique values in the landscape architecture of the villages and the urban areas. In the process of development, however, these values are gradually losing their inherent identity and being replaced by new hybrid landscape architectures, which are not suitable for natural and cultural conditions of the region. Therefore, the purpose and content of the article is. Surveying and analyzing the current situation of landscape architecture in six representative urban areas namely Dien Bien, Lai Chau, Son La, Hoa Binh, Lao Cai and Yen Bai on the general context of natural, cultural and economic conditions of the whole Northwest Mountainous region. Developing a system of criteria for landscape identification and assessment. Identifying the landscape architecture. Proposing solutions on landscape architecture in order to preserve and develop the identity of Northern mountainous urban areas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The development of societies and the increasing growth of recent constructions, especially in cities, have caused environmental issues, destruction, and reduction of natural resources and the environment, especially green and green-blue spaces. According to studies, in the past years, many parts of natural and even pristine surfaces and spaces in big cities have been turned into artificial, and impermeable spaces, which has aggravated environmental and ecological problems and also it has aggravated the aesthetic characteristics of the urban landscape, particularly in arid and semiarid areas. In this case, the studies show that identifying and applying natural ecosystems such as wetlands and their artificial types due to their multifunctional aspects and benefits, especially in urban areas, can be the basis for reducing many issues mentioned. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to this critical issue and do more research to know different types of constructed wetland ecosystems along with their services and values. The primary aim of this research is to identify the values and services of this ecosystem and to examine the diverse patterns of constructed wetlands in order to extract and design simple patterns of construcred wetlands. We want to know their role and position in landscape architecture and urban planning and design process. Also, this study aims to examine the potencial and possibillity of building constructed wetlands in urban areas particularly in arid areas and Mediterranean regions, according to Koppen climate classiffication. In this regard, the theoretical framework is provided based on the study of specialized texts and the study of similar foreign case studies and diverse patterns of urban wetlands with their different functions. These reviews have been done in a specific format consisting of some main aspects, such as the function and supply sources of wetlands. The final result and extractted simplified patterns, according to case studies, can be considered as a framework for designing and planning urban constructed wetlands and a guide for planning and designing a landscape consisting of this element, especially in areas with arid, semiarid, and Mediterranean climates with hot and dry summers.

Urban digital twins (UDTs) have been identified as a potential technology to achieve digital transformative positive urban change through landscape architecture and urban planning. However, how this new technology will influence community resilience and adaptation planning is currently unclear. This article: (1) offers a scoping review of existing studies constructing UDTs, (2) identifies challenges and opportunities of UDT technologies for community adaptation planning, and (3) develops a conceptual framework of UDTs for community infrastructure resilience. This article highlights the need for integrating multi-agent interactions, artificial intelligence, and coupled natural–physical–social systems into a human-centered UDTs framework to improve community infrastructure resilience.

It reflects the representation and indexing of photographs of architecture and urban landscape, conceived as a documentary typology of the photographic species. These photographs are characterized as a historical document, of permanent guard, for being the record of the built cultural heritage of a city, many still architectural remnants. It will analyze the description of the photographs of the Archival Network project of the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN) and the Brasiliana Fotográfica project of the National Library. It is characterized as qualitative, descriptive and exploratory research, with the hypothesis that the photographs must have typological classification defined from the analysis of the subject. The theoretical frameworks of researchers in the field of photographic representation and documentary typology (SMIT, 1997; MANINI, 2004; BELLOTTO, 2008; MALVERDES; LOPEZ. 2017; TONELLO; MADIO 2018; MACHADO 2019) and the normative and manual recommendations of archival and librarianship. Our objectives are to verify the applicability of image analysis categories for representation in the specific subject of architecture and urban landscape in order to support the typological classification of photographs. The expected result will initiate discussion for the search for the thematic specialty of photography and contribute to the conservation and preservation of collections of this nature.

HOUSING ,MIDDLE class ,ITALIAN architecture ,SOCIOCULTURAL factors ,ARCHITECTURAL design ,URBAN landscape architecture - Abstract
The essay investigates the Milanese street-front gardens of post-WWII middle-class housing. Spread around the city by hectic developers, these gardens reflect specific cultural- al, political and social conditions of Italy's industrial capital during the economic miracle. Street-facing gardens are an essential feature of modern middle-class condominiums. They reflected the modernist urban vision of a park-city and the Milanese tradition of the street facade; they encapsulate the bourgeois culture with its urge for representative decorum and the freedom of architectural experimentation; their image was used as a marketing tool in real estate advertisement but also as an argument in negotiation for the building licence. In Post-WWII Milan urban nature radically changed its connotation: from a hygienic device, it transformed into a status symbol, and the Milanese started to take care of gardens precisely because of their decorative importance. Even though they are private, they are designed to be looked at from the street, and therefore they make an important part of the everyday urban experience. Beyond their speculative nature, the gardens of Milanese condominiums transformed the urban landscape, bringing density together with well-cared nature into the city streets. The essay explores this phenomenon through a series of distant and close-up views as if following a wandering gaze through the streets of the city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article focuses on the transition of the natural landscape of Thessaloniki's east waterfront to the artificial urban landscape that draws a straight line between water and land, while noting the developing rigid homogeneous multistorey buildings as a background image of the city in contrast to the former porosity and architectural variety of the late 19th-early 20th century mansions. The transition is captured either as a commentary on the new landscape or as a memoir of a lost era by cinematographers, such as Takis Kanellopoulos in his film "Parenthesis" (1968) and Theo Angelopoulos in his film "Eternity and a Day" (1998) and photographers of the 1960's such as Socratis Iordanidis and Yiannis Stylianou.

This paper concerns the cinematic representation of São Paulo's Elevado João Goulart, a 3.5km elevated expressway close to the historic centre of the city, popularly known as the Minhocão. Built during the boom period of Brazil's dictatorship, the Minhocão opened to traffic in January 1971. Controversial at the beginning of its existence, it has been partially rehabilitated, a process in which film has been important. The paper describes three general modes of the Minhocão's depiction on film: in the first it represents a generalised fear of the modern city, in the second it is a normal part of the landscape, and in the third it is a form of aesthetic occupation. Key films discussed include Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985), directed by Hector Babenco (1985) and the documentary Elevado 3.5 (Maíra Bühler, Paulo Pastorelo and João Sodré 2006). The paper responds to Sophia's Landscapes of Care theme by showing how over time film can, over time, help rehabilitate seemingly irredeemable infrastructure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Urban rivers play a crucial role in providing ecosystem services (ES) that contribute to the social well-being and quality of life of urban inhabitants. However, rapid urbanisation has led to the progressive degradation of these rivers, affecting their capacity to deliver ES and resulting in significant socio-ecological impacts. This study performs a participatory mapping of the non-monetary social values (positives and negatives), in the urban Zamora and Malacatos Rivers and their ESs, in Loja, Ecuador, to understand community perceptions and preferences in a context of degraded landscapes as a complementary category of analysis to traditional approaches. Methodologically, the collection, analysis and mapping were carried out using public participation GIS (PPGIS) based on surveys. This method facilitated the integration of social data with biophysical variables. The most relevant of the ten social values studied were positives: Learning, Aesthetic, Therapeutic and negatives: Displeasure, Deficient and Inaccessible Infrastructure and Threat of Flooding. We revealed different spatial patterns for each ES social value, where positive value locations exhibited a dispersed pattern, with clusters in peripheral areas, while negative value locations exhibited a clustered pattern in the city centre. The environmental variable with the most significant contribution was the Horizontal Distance to Green Areas. These findings enhance our understanding of the social values and preferences associated with ES in urban river contexts. Furthermore, they provide valuable insights for identifying areas of opportunity and conflict, informing community planning and effective management of the urban landscape. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

PUBLIC spaces ,RURAL-urban migration ,URBAN landscape architecture ,URBAN planning - Abstract
In the last few years, the number of people living in the city is constantly increasing, due to ongoing migration from rural to urban areas. The increase in population is followed by an increase in diversity within the city, which results in a large number of people with different characteristics and needs that must be accepted, fulfilled, and respected. Therefore, one of the current challenges in city planning is the design of inclusive spaces that are welcoming to all citizens regardless of their gender, age, nationality, economic circumstances, disability identity, or religion. It is time that urban design revolves around the needs of residents, and the built environment allows everybody to enjoy equal rights and access to every part of the city. Considering that in terms of inclusion the unbuilt environment is as important as the built environment, this paper will focus on the research of public open spaces, as an important part of the urban landscape which should be enjoyed by all. Through field observations in Iliria Square, this research aims to expand how we evaluate the capacity for inclusion in public space, find out whether users in public spaces experience these spaces as inclusive, and if contrarily, find out why so and how to fight exclusion, how these spaces can be changed and improved. This paper will hopefully raise awareness for the design of inclusive spaces in the city and serve as a stimulus and valuable knowledge base for future research on this topic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cultivation of aromatic/medicinal plants (MAPs) is major part of urban horticulture and landscape architecture, several of MAPs also being widespread in the medical industry due to their nutrient content. In this work, an organoleptic evaluation of infusions and condiments from 25 MAPs was carried out, with the participation of 45 different tasters. The bioactive compounds in the infusion of some MAPs were then evaluated. The selected plants were grown in a greenhouse, through urban co-cultivation, in Bucharest and Thessaloniki. The appearance, smell, taste and aroma were assessed from the organoleptic characteristics, and the obtained results were processed with the SPSS statistical program. The DPPH and Folin-Ciocalteu methods were used to measure antioxidant and total phenolic concentration. The purpose of the work is to examine the relationship between the organoleptic characteristics and the nutritional elements of some MAPs. Also, it is sought to form an objective image regarding the role and the way of the use of MAPs so that they become acceptable to consumers, in their daily diet. The results confirm that the co-cultivation of some MAPs is an activity with significant prospects in urban horticulture and healthy nutrition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
How do we provide for and nurture millions of people without destroying the planet in the process? Author Doug Kent, an environmental specialist, believes a vital element in the solution is recognizing that urban landscapes are an essential partner in everyone's wellbeing. He argues that urban landscapes can and must work harder.Urban landscapes can provide part of our energy needs, help cool our buildings and public spaces, help us make the most of our precious water. They can also help combat air pollution and reduce the likelihood of allergies and asthma. They can provide landscape materials and even contribute to our timber supply. Doug also advocates turning landscapes into a food source, and/or a perfumery, pharmacy, soap shop, or craft store.Doug has over 12 years of research in this book. He has spent years doing literature reviews, and many more years concocting, consuming, crafting, distilling, propagating, retting, sawing, sowing, and weaving its many recommendations. He has also travelled the length and width of California many times to interview the people and businesses already doing this incredible work.Regenerating Essential Goods and Services is not a manifesto. It is a user's manual. You are the creative and energetic force that will ultimately drive sustainability and regeneration. Let's go.

The book addresses the interdisciplinary and multiscale theme of the design of sustainable, inclusive and creative urban green spaces in relation to the socio-ecological transition and in line with the systemic vision promoted by the 2030 Agenda, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the principles outlined by the New European Bauhaus (European Commission, 2021). The publication refers to the International Study Day organized in June 2022 by the Unit for Internationalization of the PDTA Department of the Sapienza University of Rome, develops and updates its themes, with essays that deepen theories and methodologies pursued in specific disciplinary and research fields, and with case studies of design experiments and achievements that constitute best practices at an international level in the sign of a conscious sustainability. The book is therefore part of an international and interdisciplinary dialogue and discussion focused on the challenges of climate change, economic crises and social inequalities as well as the questions that emerged during the Covid-19 pandemic. These issues are fundamental in the rethinking and reconfiguration of the role of urban green spaces, conceived as a priority place for the existence of citizens, the archetype of European culture, the conservation of biodiversity, and the relationship with nature.

Proposing and demonstrating the ways in which we need to rethink urban green spaces as cities, societies and environments evolve, renowned scholar Cecil C. Konijnendijk explores urban green spaces as essential parts of cities. Chapters offer a comprehensive look at how their roles have changed over time and will continue to do so, moving from their conventional purpose as areas for recreation to become spaces contributing to climate adaptation, biodiversity conservation and economic development.This timely and innovative book argues that we need to rethink the ways in which we govern, design, plan and manage green spaces, as well as the funding of different kinds of green spaces and the narratives around what green spaces can and cannot do. Using a diverse range of case studies from across the globe, Konijnendijk offers practical suggestions for change in the future to make cities greener and healthier, and introduces new green space concepts such as urban groves and streetwoods.This is an invigorating read for students and scholars of urban planning, landscape architecture, urban ecology and urban studies. Urban green space planners, designers and managers will also find the wealth of cases and practical suggestions make this an insightful read.

Due to the rapid growth and development caused mainly by tourism of Alanya, rural areas are affected, losing their original texture and authentic structures and being exposed to unqualified interventions. The aim of this study is to determine the original features and reveal the value of Alanya rural architecture within the framework of the sustainability principles, and to determine how these values have changed with the unqualified interventions, by detailing qualitatively and quantitatively on the basis of each intervention. Within the scope of the study, the rural architectural heritage in Alanya has been documented in terms of settlement texture, space organization, architectural elements, material, construction and energy efficiency. For the analysis, a rural house that preserves its original values was used. A comparison was made between the values of this house and the values obtained as a result of the changes in the other buildings in the area. In cases where these interventions are applied in various variations, the changes in the heating and cooling load of the house are compared with the CO2 emission. It has been determined that the rural houses of Alanya provide energy conservation in a way that is perfected by tradition, both in terms of settlement features and space and materials on the basis of structure. It has been determined that the heating/cooling energy requirement can decrease but the CO2 emission increases in the individual changes made by evaluating different types of deterioration. When the most common application variations detected in the field are evaluated, it has been determined that both the heating/cooling energy requirement and the CO2 emission have increased. Rural settlements and residences define an architecture that has reached the highest level in terms of convenience, functionality and economy. Since any intervention to these structures means the loss of their energy conservation properties as well as their originality, a very careful decision should be made. The study reveals the first data in which the rural architecture of Alanya is evaluated within the scope of sustainability and energy and CO2 emissions are compared depending on deterioration/changes.

Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) identifies an urban area due to its cultural and natural values and the qualities of its historical plane. Within this context, this article aims to determine and categorize these values used in the HUL approach as indicators. The research question focuses on finding specific indicators used in the HUL approach to measuring change beyond considering natural and cultural heritage values in the landscape context. These indicators in 228 peer-reviewed publications implementing the HUL from 2008 to 2021 are assessed. The six-step inclusive and exclusive theoretical framework is established as a method in this article to detect the inadequate implementations of HUL in case studies. The initial finding of this article is that the adequacy of using the HUL approach in publications is questionable as the implementation of the HUL approach processes was incomplete or misunderstood in most of them. Only 29 articles of the 228 publications implemented the HUL approach in its entirety. The other finding is that when the change measurement indicators in the HUL approach are examined, it is evident that natural indicators were the least used group compared to cultural and identity indicators. Each cultural, natural, and identity indicator group should be utilized evenly to implement the HUL approach adequately. This article presents a fundamental indicator list that includes cultural, natural, and identity groups for correctly using the HUL approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The documentation of the urban historical heritage is the preliminary step to identify the correct strategies for its protection and enhancement. To achieve this aim it is necessary to acquire a graphic documentation at the different scales of detail required by a multi-layered system as the historical landscape; this complexity can now be explored integrating traditional and digital survey methods and representation methodologies. Traditional methods, in particular, are characterized by a direct contact with places; this condition guarantee a deepest perception and a total immersion in the landscape integrating and giving quality to the considerable amount of data offered by recent technologies; this approach has been applied in the survey of the historical city of Cagliari in which the medieval districts of Marina, Stampace, Villanova and Castello retain a great part of the modern walled system built since the fourteenth century until the first half of the nineteenth century and a lot of interesting buildings designed for civil, public and religious use.
