Building Recognizability in Urban Environments
… interaction between humans and their surrounding environments. As the recognition of buildings in an environment leads to the interaction between human and their surroundings, it can be also studied through the lens of geospatial information sciences. This paper uses a quantitative survey and …

Automatic mesh representation of urban environments
A robust watertight mesh generation framework for urban cityscape and waterscape is proposed. The framework, consisting of a set of algorithms implemented in MATLAB, uses geospatial data available from OpenStreetMap and United States Geological Survey repositories, and incorporates Triangle - a …

Planning for Solar Buildings in Urban Environments
… focused on the implementation of solar energy in urban planning. Action research, and analytical and parametric studies were used to examine how decisions in the urban planning process affect the possibilities for implementing solar energy, as well as how these deci-sions were supported by tools. …

Sustainable and equitable urban environments in Asia
… the development of sustainable and equitable urban environments. It argues that cities will continue to grow and that it is not productive to view that growth as a crisis or a tragedy; instead it must be seen as a challenge for the future. The urban policies that have evolved over the last …

Microplastics in Urban Environments: Distribution, Fate, and Transport
… a growing environmental concern, particularly in urban areas where anthropogenic activities intensify their presence in ecosystems. This research investigates MPs’ distribution, fate, and transport in urban environments, focusing on stormwater retention (SWR) ponds, bioretention systems (BRS), and …

WASHHOUSE : A shared amenity for dense urban environments.
A shift in urban living density triggers a multitude of behavioral changes. The consequences of heightened density are diverse, encompassing shifts in property ownership, alterations to daily routines, changes in workplace locations, and reassessments of the significance of communal engagement and …

Carrion-associated arthropods in rural and urban environments
… that are attracted to pig carcasses in rural and urban habitats in Northwest Indiana. The species and number of carrion-associated arthropods that are found at a carcass vary with habitat type, month, and stage of decomposition. Lucilia sericata (Diptera: Calliphoridae) is a synanthropic species …

Sentinel behaviour and urban environments: A corvid’s perspective
… of corvids has increased with increasing urbanization, suggesting they benefit from living near humans. Recent literature shows that urbanized species such as the American crow can behaviourally adapt to exploit anthropogenic resources resulting in positive urbanization effects on corvids. …

Landscape as indigenous space: sovereignty and indigeneity in urban environments
Although urban environments have been characterized as alienating to everyone, the level of displacement for many Indigenous peoples goes beyond that experienced by non-Indigenous peoples, in part because some Indigenous individuals are in fact locals made foreign through urbanization. This thesis …
