In recent years, various land usetransformationsin Bangkok influenced the city's ecological sustainability in all means, i.e., diminishing the city's cultivated land and greenery. This study investigates lack of green spaces due to extreme urban growth in the mega city. To do so, first, land use transitions are modelled through two different images; one from Landsat 5Thematic Mapper for the year 1994, and second fromHJ-1A CCD for the year 2012. Next, theMulti-Layer Perceptron Markov Model (MLP-Markov) is applied to predict land usechange for the year 2030. The MLP neural network is trained to modelland usetransitionsthrough creating transition maps. Markov Chain predictive model is applied with sufficient accuracy to process the transition maps for the prediction process. The results indicate that 348km<sup>2</sup>of green areas are transformed into built-up areas for the period 1994-2012,witha considerable loss of greenery (42%). The MLP model predictions show 4% increase in built-up and 6% decrease in greenery for the period 2012-2030. The study highly recommends conservation of green spaces and green corridors in the city. Future research can includeanalysing greenplot ratio for suitablegreen patches in vulnerable sites. The research output will benefit urban planners to implement long term planning strategies forsecuring natural environment in mega cities.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20460,"journal":{"name":"Procedia environmental sciences","volume":"37 ","pages":"Pages 141-152"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.proenv.2017.03.030","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89542359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This method applied to the case study for the restoration design of the old steel Echedoros river railway bridge. An intervention on an existing bridge characterized as sustainable if the design considerations include critical sustainability assessments. The present case study also compared to other relevant assessments of the option to construct a new steel bridge for the same total span. Assessments concern remaining fatigue life, estimation of its structural resistance for the traffic capacity, identification of the environmental impacts of the structural solutions and evaluation of the total cost of the project. In the present work, the structural analysis performed using a finite element scheme for the overall bridge. In addition, several finite element analysis models of critical details also performed and studied. The verification of the design parameters adopted, i.e. loads and resistance assessment mainly based on the ‘Sustainable Bridges’ guidelines recently published by the European Commission. The estimation of the environmental impacts of the structural solutions according to life cycle principles based on the use of known LCA tools and the cost evaluated by applying the well-known discounted cash flow technique. The approach with the individual impacts combined to produce an overall sustainability score for the design option also highlighted.

Consequently, this move has resulted in the development of several sustainability certification tools focusing on healthcare settings. Among the best known ones are BREEAM, LEED and Green Guide for Healthcare. Their ease of use, holistic approach and possibility of implementation from the early-design phase, have made them very attractive among different building practitioners. Yet, their subjectivity in the assessment approach, leaves a doubt whether the use of these schemes leads to truly sustainable buildings. This has led to an increased awareness among building practitioners that the qualitative tools to assess the sustainability of their projects are not sufficient. The same questions on the sustainability of hospitals arose in the Flemish healthcare sector as well. On-going development of the Duurzaamheidsmeter zorg, a qualitative tool adapted for the Flemish context, aims at helping building practitioners in assessing the sustainability of their hospital projects. However, urban planners and architects who had the opportunity of using it, reported some disadvantages and shortcomings. A need is identified to develop a more reliable sustainability assessment method based on a quantitative approach. This paper elaborates the first step in the research, analyzing the building professionals’ experiences in using sustainability assessment tools on hospital facilities in Flanders. Their feedback is translated into a SWOT analysis which identifies the professionals’ expectations of an assessment method. The results are seen as valuable directions to consider when developing an evaluation method from a life cycle thinking perspective.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20460,"journal":{"name":"Procedia environmental sciences","volume":"38 ","pages":"Pages 445-451"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.proenv.2017.03.135","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83438630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
