Putting Cities Back on Their Feet
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Broken sidewalks have become an important legal issue since 2002 when the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) applies to sidewalks. As one way to comply ... -
Highway Improvement Project Rankings due to Uncertain Model Inputs: Application of Traditional Transportation and Land Use Models
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)While much research has been devoted to analyzing the variation in transportation and land use model outputs due to uncertainty, little has been done to quantitatively answer the more important question of how decision ... -
Region-Specific Estimates of the Determinants of Residential Investment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2011)This paper adopts a reduced-form equilibrium model to investigate the possible sources of residential investment differentials among 22 provinces, five autonomous regions, and four municipalities in the People’s Republic ... -
Primary Schools’ Territorial Policy and Active Commuting: Institutional Influences in Montreal and Trois-Rivières
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Active commuting to school has decreased in the last decades, replaced by motorized transportation and especially by the car. Beyond the environmental factors, the schools' territorial policies explain this trend. Drawing ... -
Does a Technology Incubator Work in the Regional Economy? Evidence from South Korea
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)There has been a recent trend among policymakers to consider the science park as a knowledge-based economic development strategy—one that encourages and supports the start-up and development of innovation-led industry. ... -
Planning and Design of Urban Flood Control Measures: Assessing Effects Combination
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)Different approaches related with urban flood problems treatment are evolving and there is a large set of possible engineering measures that can be applied. Lately, the traditional approach, focusing on improving channel ... -
Inexact Community-Scale Energy Systems Planning Model
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Energy systems planning models are useful for supporting decisions of urban energy systems planning and environmental management. The previous studies on energy systems modeling were too aggregated to reach insight into ... -
Air Temperature Distribution and the Influence of Sky View Factor in a Green Singapore Estate
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)This paper investigates, first, the influence of vegetations to the air temperature distribution and, second, the correlation between air temperature and sky view factor (SVF) to understand whether the trees have adverse ... -
Modeling Freight Delivery Flows: Missing Link of Urban Transport Analysis
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)Urban freight transport has barely incited any modeling efforts when compared to passenger cars and public transport, which is mainly due to the lack of available data and the complexity of the delivery route patterns and ... -
Rating Sustainability: Transportation Investments in Urban Corridors as a Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Interest in sustainable “green” practices continues to rise throughout the United States, particularly in relation to green building. Currently, programs such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and Green ... -
Forecasting Cybercar Use for Airport Ground Access: Case Study at Baltimore Washington International Airport
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Nested logit models calibrated on revealed preference (RP) and stated preference (SP) data have been used in this paper to study the potential market of a cybernetic transportation system for airport ground access. This ... -
Design Criteria for an Urban Sidewalk Landscape Considering Emotional Perception
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)Pedestrians’ emotional satisfaction when using an urban sidewalk landscapes depends on the sidewalk design elements and component ratios. It is therefore important for the design of a sidewalk to reflect pedestrians’ ... -
Daily Activity Patterns of University Students
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2009)This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of students’ activity characteristics and travel patterns based on the 2001 North Carolina State University Student Activity Travel Survey. Results show that undergraduate ... -
Building Capacity through Collaborative Local Action: Case of Matra REGIMA within Zeytinburnu Regeneration Scheme
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Following the 1999 Marmara earthquakes, urban regeneration has gained particular importance in redevelopment of housing areas particularly in historical districts of Istanbul. Local governments, upon new roles and ... -
Human-Environment Interactions Based on Biophilia Values in an Urban Context: Case Study
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2010)Biophilia is the idea that claims on the dependency of human identity on the relationship with the nature. The idea has been developed in recent years and can consist of nine tendencies addressed in this paper. The study ... -
Systems Management Study of a Private Brownfield Renovation
