As science and innovation are going digital, urban planning is highly concerned and should follow up with this global numerical transition. Urban planners should make use of the potential of new technologies to develop better and smarter urban forms responding to the new challenges and issues. The study uses artificial intelligence techniques based on genetic algorithms and supported by statistical data upon 20 indicators applied on 450 street segments in different urban fabrics in Fez city aiming to classify and simulate urban streets morphology. Machine learning can have the power of solving complex issues that humans alone cannot. The results using the potential of Machine Learning techniques can be a framework for decision makers to help them thinking about an intelligent planning process matching today challenges while taking advantages of new technologies. maps generates the integration values of each district based on number of segments’, their length, and intersections with other lines. Combining these data, axial maps reveal integration level and intelligibility with other spatial features. The city segments are shown as axial lines sorted from the shortest to the longest assigning a range of colours from red to blue, where red is the most integrated segment and blue is the most isolated one. Based on the data generated from these maps, the comparison of the street’s length and integration level of the three case studies have been done using Spyder(python3.5) software27, based on a test after 1000 iterations.

Most inhabitants of such “palimpsest * ” cities usually live as if the current built environment has always existed throughout the history, failing to see the light that the buildings of different periods shed for their own age and their importance for us. When the reflections of the culture, which has been transmitted through generations and diversified by being fed from different sources, cannot be distinguished on various buildings, the architectural heritage of the cities can be overlooked, and might be consciously or unconsciously destroyed. Unfortunately, present architectural history or cultural heritage conservation courses do not help to adequately establish a healthy relationship between residents and the city or the cultural site that needs to be protected. In order to fill this important gap, we have recently proposed an EU project and this paper presents the objectives, partners, methodology and prospective implementations of the project, namely “Palimpsest Cities”, which aims t o create an alternative, innovative, interdisciplinary curriculum of a new course supported with gamification and storytelling techniques. This course will especially be designed for architecture students, and the project also aims to test this approach by various implementations in partner universities, as well as through collaborations with local governments and professional organizations. By doing so, it aims to deliver the content of this innovative course to whole residents of the city from children to elderly, with a special emphasis on social inclusion of disadvantaged groups. Likewise, this paper and its presentation will be an important opportunity to disseminate the project before its kick-off and contribute to essential network our project is seeking for.","PeriodicalId":371389,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference of Contemporary Affairs in Architecture and Urbanism","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":"130305852","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}

This is intended to identify the construction organization's circumstances to increase employee participation in decision-making. The effect of such participation on the performance of the industry was also assessed. This study was carried out through a questionnaire survey of construction professionals in Zamfara State. Data collected were analyzed using the Chi-square and descriptive statistical analysis obtained. In agreement with the results of preceding studies, the employee’s participation among construction organizations from the studies in decision making is at a lower stage which buttresses the Chi-Square analysis result that the employees do not participate actively in construction organizations' study area. This study concluded that there is a need for employers in the industry to categorize decisions that employees should make and to adjust their organizational backgrounds to raise em ployees’ participation spirits as desired.","PeriodicalId":371389,"journal":{"name":"5th International Conference of Contemporary Affairs in Architecture and Urbanism","volume":"11 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":"122528749","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}
