Climate-Change Sensitive Residential Areas and Their Adaptation Capacities by Urban Green Changes: Case Study of Linz, Austria
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)As summer air temperatures continue to increase, urban areas will be most affected since urban building structures and materials intensify the heat island effect. The number of people who will be affected by increasing ... -
Describing Changes in the Built Environment of Shrinking Cities: Case Study of Incheon, South Korea
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)In the early 2000s, nearly 30% of South Korean cities reportedly shrunk in terms of population, number of enterprises, and property disinvestment. Although many researchers have already documented socioeconomic changes ... -
Impacts of Chinese Urbanization on Farmers’ Social Networks: Evidence from the Urbanization Led by Farmland Requisition in Shanghai
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Following rapid urban expansion, numerous rural villages have been requisitioned for urban development in Chinese cities. During the prevailing urbanization process, displaced farmers within a village are wholly relocated ... -
Port–City Relationship and the Environment: Literature Survey and Methodological Approach for Project Appraisal in Presence of Environmental Externalities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)In times of increasing environmental awareness, the port–city relationship has gained new meaning because ports have been seen as the origin of both negative and positive externalities affecting public welfare. While the ... -
Effect of Street Design on Outdoor Thermal Comfort in an Urban Street in Singapore
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Outdoor thermal comfort in urban spaces is an important indicator of the quality of life in an urban environment. This paper attempts to investigate the effect of street design on outdoor thermal comfort in an urban street ... -
Modeling and Simulation of Greater Cairo Region Urban Dynamics Using SLEUTH
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Modeling urban growth has the ability to play an important role in the planning process—if not in aiding in policy decisions, then in processes such as visioning and scenario evaluation. Spatial urban models passed through ... -
Cluster Analysis of Interregional Migration in Turkey
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)During the past several decades, many studies illustrated the importance of socioeconomic factors on interregional migration in different countries. Interregional migration has had an immense impact on Turkey’s population ... -
Strategies for Green Transportation while Preserving Mobility and Accessibility: A Case Study of Taipei City
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This study develops a green index to evaluate the sustainability of different paths in urban transportation networks of origin-destination (OD) pairs. Urban transportation networks usually involve various transport modes ... -
Modeling Bike Share Station Activity: Effects of Nearby Businesses and Jobs on Trips to and from Stations
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The purpose of this research is to identify correlates of bike station activity for Nice Ride Minnesota, a bike share system in the Minneapolis–St. Paul Metropolitan Area in Minnesota. The number of trips to and from each ... -
Cross-Nested Joint Model of Travel Mode and Departure Time Choice for Urban Commuting Trips: Case Study in Maryland–Washington, DC Region
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The aim of this paper is to contribute to describe the simultaneous choice of travel mode and departure time by making use of a cross-nested logit structure that allows for the joint representation of interalternative ... -
Impact of Neighborhood Walkability on Trip Generation and Trip Chaining: Case of Los Angeles
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The purpose of this study was to test whether a compact neighborhood design is associated with trip-chaining behavior. Trip chaining is regarded as a growing phenomenon in travel and activity behavior because people seek ... -
Structural Determinants of Unregulated Urban Growth and Residential Land Pricing: Case of Bangalore
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The primary objective of the study is to examine the interplay between unregulated urban growth and residential land market pricing. This interplay is examined in the context of Bangalore, which is the one of the fasted ... -
Characteristics of Parking in Central Shanghai, China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)A survey was conducted to study the characteristics of parking in central Shanghai, with the selected survey areas classified as typical market areas, business- and office-oriented areas, and food- and drink-oriented areas. ... -
Intersections of Jane Jacobs’ Conditions for Diversity and Low-Carbon Urban Systems: A Look at Four Global Cities
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)Countless cities are rapidly developing across the globe, pressing the need for clear urban-planning and design recommendations geared toward sustainability. This paper examines the intersections of Jane Jacobs’ four ... -
Optimal Coordination Strategy for an Integrated Multimodal and Multioperator Transit System: Case of Singapore
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)This paper develops a model for evaluating optimal coordination of a multimodal and multioperator transit system. The core logic of the modeling is to minimize the total cost for both transit operators and users. Hence, ... -
Measuring the Impacts of Bike-to-Work Day Events and Identifying Barriers to Increased Commuter Cycling
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Despite much enthusiasm among practitioners to spur rates of bicycle commuting via promotional measures such as community rides or commuter incentive programs, there is little research regarding their impact. Using data ... -
Empirical Analysis of a Mode Shift to Using Public Bicycles to Access the Suburban Metro: Survey of Nanjing, China
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2016)The combined use of a public bicycle system (PBS) and transit is considered a green and efficient travel mode, yet few studies have focused on users’ perceptions of this integrated mode. This study investigated commuters ... -
Cities Built for and by Residents: Soil Sealing Management in the Eyes of Urban Dwellers in Germany
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Urban soil sealing has negative impacts on ecosystem services through the loss of urban green. Besides protecting urban green from further sealing by proper urban planning, the efficiency of soil sealing management depends ... -
