However, the ratio of emissions in the manufacturing phase becomes larger. This paper evaluates CEVs and compares the popularization policies used to promote CEVs using life cycle assessment (LCA). The authors use major criteria: life cycle CO2 emissions to be considered not only in the utilization phase but also in the manufacturing phase. In the simulation of the LCCO2 of CEVs, total driving distances affect total CO2 emissions. The LCCO2 of EVs decrease as total driving distance increases compared with other vehicles. The simulation results show that the LCCO2 of EVs are the lowest when the CEVs are driven for more than 35,700 km in Japan, more than 40,300 km in France, more than 78,400 km in the Netherlands, more than 72,200 km in Germany, more than 38,400 km in Iceland, more than 81,400 km in United States, more than 124,000 km in China and more than 193,000 km in India. This is caused by the differences between the CO2 emission consumption rates, since electrical power sources are different. The simulation results suggest that EVs are not always best suited for all drivers considered LCCO2 including the manufacturing phase, and the LCCO2 of vehicles are affected by total driving distances and the situation of countries' electric power sources.","PeriodicalId":225747,"journal":{"name":"Next generation infrastructure systems for eco-cities","volume":"32 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120891708","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}

By formulating a shared data structure and a definition of concepts and their properties, a language is created that can be used between modellers and—formalised in an ontology—between model components. When modelling energy systems, connections between different infrastructures are critical, e.g. the interaction between the gas and electricity markets or the need for various infrastructures including power, heat, water and transport in cities. While a commonly shared ontology of energy systems would be highly desirable, the fact is that different existing models or applications already use dedicated ontologies, and have been demonstrated to work well using them. To benefit from linking data sources and connecting models developed with different ontologies, a translation between concepts can be made. In this paper a model of an urban energy system built upon one ontology is initialised using energy transformation technologies defined in another ontology, thus illustrating how this common perspective might benefit researchers in the energy domain.","PeriodicalId":225747,"journal":{"name":"Next generation infrastructure systems for eco-cities","volume":"72 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126977458","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}

More than half the world's population now lives in cities, and the rate of urbanization is accelerating. Cities produce roughly between 40% and 80% of greenhouse gas emissions. They are particularly vulnerable to climate change. The limited success of the December 2009 Copenhagen climate negotiations heightens the urgency of cities' efforts to adapt and mitigate to climate change. Cities in the developing world have the opportunity to emerge as global leaders on this front. In the developing world, urbanization has often taken the form of exploding populations in megacities. Building large scale cities from scratch with minimum resources has become a matter of pressing opportunity for many countries of the developing world. Urban growth in Latin America, India, and, China is fundamentally changing the lives of hundreds of millions of people. So far, this urbanization processes have dramatically increased developing countries' environmental damage and vulnerability to climate change. This paper is aiming to show that urbanization can be a fundamentally sustainable process capable to create secure urbanities through an eco-infrastructure approach for reducing urban vulnerabilities that explores a series of strategic responses which I characterize as a weave of eco-infrastructures, feddback-loop urbanisms, and networks of zero carbon settlements powered by renewable energies.","PeriodicalId":225747,"journal":{"name":"Next generation infrastructure systems for eco-cities","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121473487","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}

Several European countries and Australia have other energy efficiency schemes. Major developing economies like India and China are also engaged in reducing energy consumption, lowering energy intensity in a manner that would be technically feasible and economically viable. This paper compares some energy efficiency schemes which are being implemented or already implemented in countries.We will draw lessons from these schemes in the design of Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) mechanism for India. This paper also discusses design and operational features of white certificate schemes mainly in terms of obliged parties, size of target, eligible customers etc. Most of the schemes discussed are based on quantified energy savings obligations imposed on energy distributors or suppliers, coupled with a certification of the energy savings (via white certificates), and a possibility to trade certificates. These market based instruments help countries to encourage investments in energy efficiency improvement and achieve national energy saving targets. The paper looks at several issues that may arise during/after implementation of PAT mechanism.","PeriodicalId":225747,"journal":{"name":"Next generation infrastructure systems for eco-cities","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127683861","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 acknowledged by an emerging body of literature, coping with the problems of unplanned and unsustainable urbanisation requires a thorough change in the way decision-making of central and local governments. Nevertheless, the new urban projects of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality to turn Istanbul into a ‘global city’ do not seem that they are likely to cope with the unsustainable urbanization. This study intends to investigate the socio-economic and environmental impacts of the urban transformation projects for Istanbul and seeks for the practical solutions for preventing the problems associated with the implementation of them. For this purpose, the study focuses on the implementation of one of these urban transformation projects, Basibuyuk Project. The lack of public involvement and environmental considerations are addressed as the main sources of problems. Within this respect, the study suggests the use of instruments for sustainable plan-making which promote a more transparent and accountable decision-making by the involvement of local community in Basibuyuk and preservation of biophysical attributes in the project?s area.","PeriodicalId":225747,"journal":{"name":"Next generation infrastructure systems for eco-cities","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127826159","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}
