Ibrahim, Ayesheh Benyas, Shaikha Almazrouei","doi":"10.47472/plcpyqxh","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47472/plcpyqxh","url":null,"abstract":"It was since the inception of a modernized Abu Dhabi in the late 60s that its housing has been evolving as well. Land allocation to Emirati nationals, the founding of a national housing program and the very new Master Plans for Abu Dhabi were all parts of a major effort of Sheikh Zayed to settle down a primarily nomadic population and provide contemporary amenities and services without compromising their cultural identity. Housing – both individual and social – transformed equally fast to the city itself – from the “Arish” and the “Sha`abi” house to the “western villa”, thus creating a cultural clash, a paradox between the Islamic-Arabic lifestyle and the imported socio-architectural properties of the villa type. This paradox is strengthened by the environmental behavior of the buildings within the climatic context. However, it is due to a demand increase and to the latest international socio-economic developments that the current national housing model should reconsider its strategic options in terms of the architectural typologies and the urban footprint used so far. Furthermore, a shift in global urbanism and housing towards open and inclusive cities and against the spatial manifestation of zoning and horizontal sprawl have reopened the agenda on neighborhood densification, housing typologies and a renegotiation of the usage of urban land. The paper attempts to address the questions regarding this cultural paradox, by highlighting the users’ perspective. It presents the findings of a survey amongst Emirati nationals with regards to the compatibility between their cultural daily patterns and their housing. By providing insightful critique on their housing properties and their performance on key notions such as privacy, space, religion, climate, family and car dependency, the respondents assist in depicting their needs. The results of this survey and their interpretation could lead to possible shifts in the housing strategy and policies of the city and the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and potentially to other cities in the Gulf region.","PeriodicalId":254023,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 57th ISOCARP World Planning Congress","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129629798","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 the largest old industrial bases in the country, northeast China has embarked on a development path dominated by heavy industry under the planned economy system. Its industrial structure is not sustainable, and it requires long-term reliance on natural resources. The ecological environment has been destroyed. Studying the urban vulnerability of old industrial bases in northeast China is of great significance for their revitalization as well as the promotion of high-quality urban development in China. Using 12 prefecture-level cities in the Heilongjiang Province in northeast China as the research subjects, an evaluation index system was constructed from four subsystems: ecological environment, resources, society, and economy. The spatial pattern and dynamic evolution of urban vulnerability from 2010 to 2019 were analyzed using the entropy method, comprehensive index method, and grey relational grade. The results were as follows. (1) Spatially, the urban vulnerability pattern of Heilongjiang Province in 2015 showed clustering of high-vulnerability areas, and then the overall urban vulnerability decreased and tended to be evenly distributed. (2) In terms of time, the urban vulnerability of Heilongjiang Province showed an upward trend from 2010 to 2013 and gradually decreased from 2013 to 2019. Resource vulnerability, ecological vulnerability, and social vulnerability steadily decreased, whereas economic vulnerability first increased and then decreased. (3) The correlation between urban comprehensive vulnerability and ecological vulnerability in Heilongjiang Province was the highest in 2010, and the correlation between urban vulnerability and economic vulnerability was the highest in 2013 – 2015, and then the correlation shifted to social vulnerability. In the future, during the revitalization of the old industrial bases, Heilongjiang Province should strengthen economic transformation, optimize the industrial structure, strengthen ecological civilization, and improve the utilization rate of resources.","PeriodicalId":254023,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 57th ISOCARP World Planning Congress","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128957022","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 analyzing the connotation of the concept of healthy city and the governance characteristics of old blocks, and based on the theory of healthy social determinants, health promotion theory and meta theory of healthy city, a six-dimensional evaluation index system of \"healthy blocks\" based on \"healthy built environment healthy people's body and mind\" is established. Taking Xichang street block in Changsha as an example, the renewal quality of old blocks is evaluated, Adjust and optimize the update strategy. The research results have certain reference significance in evaluating urban public health problems, evaluating the built environment of current blocks, investigating residents' health psychological needs, and optimizing the renewal methods of urban old blocks, which provides a new exploration path and technical support for the quality improvement construction of old blocks in healthy cities in China.","PeriodicalId":254023,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 57th ISOCARP World Planning Congress","volume":"36 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115551416","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}

How can they improve their level of resilience? This article will stress research on the most vulnerable units in cities and further identify key vulnerability indicators of these units. The study area is in Wuhan, China, and the research object is the old community. In China, urban governance generally follows the \"City – District ‐ Street ‐ Community\" model, the \"street\" is the city's cell, and the community is the basic unit of urban functioning. Meanwhile, grassroots (community) governance is divided into a more fine‐grained pattern: \"Community ‐ Sub‐ community ‐ Community grid – Building.\" Unlike the internationally accepted term \"slum,\" the old community is a specific concept in China. It usually refers to communities with many vulnerable people living in, whose functional decline, structural dilapidation, environmental deterioration, because of the long period since its construction. So, the old community is the most vulnerable part of the community, and its level determines the upper limit of the city's resilience (Cannikin Law). First, this paper systematically reviews the development of Chinese communities after 1949. It classifies old communities into three categories: the street committee system, the danwei system, and the community‐based system. Second, three dimensions of resilience: physical environmental, social environmental, and individual consciousness dimensions, were derived by examining internationally sophisticated resilience assessment methods. Third, the paper observes old communities in Wuhan under these three dimensions, elaborating a series of vulnerability indicators and find out reasons. Besides, data were collected from participant observation, archives, interviews, newspapers, and published reports. This paper aims to provide a reference on how to fundamentally improve cities' resilience levels, namely, to start with their basic units and address the weakest parts.
