The Healthy environment, particularly thermal comfort, is an essential concern for planners, urbanists, and architects to produce a healthy and thermally comfortable environment. A better understanding of the parameters that affect the Outdoor Thermal Comfort (OTC) will enable urbanists and environmentalists to control the microclimate and to enhance environmental performance. Several parameters affect the thermal comfort of human-being such as air temperature, mean radiant temperature (MRT), air velocity, humidity, metabolic rate, and clothing insulation. Assessing the MRT is considered the most challenging parameter in outdoor spaces. Recent researches recognized several approaches to determine the OTC in different climatic zones. The influence of different climates and user groups has significantly altered the range of responses for thermal comfort. This paper focuses on reviewing the current state of knowledge on how to assess the OTC and the MRT in the hot arid climate. Results confirmed the integration of the appropriate OTC index with other design tools to evaluate the OTC and the MRT. It also confirmed that Physiological Equivalent Temperature (PET) and Predictive Mean Vote (PMV) are the most common indices. While ENVI-met and RayMan are the most common software to assess the OTC.","PeriodicalId":17594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47604970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Demographic data was collected through the administration of questionnaires to the commuters; this was carried out to observe variations in the population of the commuters from different perspectives. Some other categories of data were collected which include boarding and alighting, headway, arrival rate of commuters, waiting time of commuters and travel time data. These data were presented and analysed with MS Excel and Minitab statistical softwares. Results from the boarding and alighting data showed bus stops with high flux of commuters, these were at Ojota, Ketu, Mile 12, Costain, CMS and TBS. Probability distribution charts were prepared to analyze the remaining sets of data. This was carried out to study the distribution and consistency of the data. Coefficients of variation for the data were also estimated to study the variability of the data. From the study, the data followed normal distribution and they were consistent such that they can be used for further analysis of the system. It can be concluded that the distribution depicts the real situation at the study location. Thus, bus stops with high density of commuters should be provided with more buses so as to reduce the waiting time of commuters.","PeriodicalId":17594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49425528","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the shortage of open green spaces in the city, caused by rapid urbanization in developing countries, some big, long-standing urban public spaces such as district parks have been retained, and improved to serve as the main public space for local people. However, such spaces commonly provide outdated, low quality facilities that discourage people from using the park. To satisfy users’ needs, local governments have launched campaigns to improve parks based on the ideas of domestic or foreign designers. The purpose of this research is to explore different behaviors of residents in an open space in Da Nang (Vietnam) which can support the future development and improvement of local open space in accordance with environmental behavior theory. User behaviors were identified and categorized based on their activities in the open space, collected using the place-centered behavior mapping method. Results of the statistical analysis revealed that this open space could be divided into three types, each of which had four dimensions: public facilities setting; openness; accessibility; and recreational facilities. The findings showed some aspects that need to be considered during the development process of open space as follows: 1) increasing the quantity and quality of public amenities; 2) separating accessible space and/or buffer space from already used space inside the park, particularly in the entrance zone; 3) providing space adjacent to the lake; and 4) removing obstacles (e.g. walls around the park) to give a clearer view from inside the park to the streets outside and vice versa. Also, the calculation model of evidence-based designs provides input data for re-planning or creating public space/parks to help designers, planners and authorities improve or design better open spaces in the future.","PeriodicalId":17594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46068282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As part of the assessments of its potential effects on the environment, an ESIA was carried out, according to the framework law on the management of the environment. The acquisition of housing has resulted in an '' anarchic '' installation in the urban and peri-urban area. The construction of a highway as planned overlays on these facilities and poses a problem related to the liberation of spaces previously occupied. The purpose of this study is to identify, locate and classify the impacted goods by the highway construction project through Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Our methodology consisted first, making a satellite identification of the impacted goods, then a field campaign and finally a processing of the data collected. This study was also limited to the identification of two types of property, the buildings and parcels of land. Thus, it has been possible to distinguish and locate six categories of buildings, eight categories of parcels of land defined according to the Cameroon law No. 85/009 of 04 July 1985 on the expropriation for public purpose and the terms of compensation and according to Order No. 0082 / y. 15.1 / MNUH / D of November 20, 1987 laying down the bases for calculating the market value of buildings expropriated for reasons of public utility. The result of this study shows that mapping is a very practical tool for identifying and materializing the impacts that a project may have on components of environment. The GIS revealed a potential disappearance of 1502 building spread over 867 parcels of land.","PeriodicalId":17594,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49012709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Along with these advantages, the main drawback of this source is the conditional nature of wind flow. Therefore, using reliable and efficient apparatus is necessary in order to get as much as energy from wind during the limited period of time that it flows strongly. Wind power is the fastest increasing renewable energy resource and wind power penetration in power systems increases at a significant rate. The high access of wind power into power systems in the present and near future will have several impacts on their planning and operation. A wind turbine transforms the kinetic energy in the wind to mechanical energy in a shaft and ultimately into electrical energy in a generator. Turbine blade is the mainly important part of any wind turbine. In this paper we consider single airfoil NACA 0018 and done CFD analysis at different blade angles 00,100,150 and 300 with constant wind velocity of 6 m/s.
