AbstractHyderabad in India is a rapidly growing city and a popular global hub of high-tech and information technology industries. With its aspiration to be a global destination for transnational companies and engine of economic growth for the twenty-first century, it is rapidly urbanizing and expanding outward with intense infrastructure development. With this rapid expansion, the city increasingly witnesses water insecurity, especially in its peri-urban areas. To supply the high-tech and aspirational pockets of Hyderabad, water has been piped and sourced from far-away reservoirs, deep wells, and borewells, as well as through water tankers that collected water from the surrounding peri-urban areas. These unsustainable practices have led to groundwater shortages and severe water insecurity for the ordinary residents living at the edge of the city. Through a grounded understanding based on ethnographic fieldwork, this chapter delves into the everyday experiences of water insecurity in peri-urban Hyderabad. The chapter discusses the context of vulnerability and ways of coping in relation to water insecurity in peri-urban communities. It seeks to give a micro- and nuanced view of rural-urban relationships around water in Hyderabad, in a context of water-related conflicts, privatization and (piped) connections between the urban and peri-urban localities.

Urban Consolidation

Distribution of goods in urban areas is one of the most important factors affecting the operation of the region but the management of these services is often overlooked by transport policy makers in Polish cities. Historical buildings create additional difficulties because they make the infrastructure development impossible. It is estimated that in large European cities approximately 25% of CO2 emissions, 30% of nitrogen oxides and 50% of particulates from transport are emitted by trucks and vans. The doctoral thesis presents methods used to optimize distribution processes in cities with historic buildings in Europe and around the world. It also presents the results of a research carried out in the Old Town of Gdańsk and proposes a method to optimize distribution processes for the area, which was the main objective of the work. The hypothesis of the trial has been formulated as follows: locating Urban Consolidation Center not far away from the center of the City of Gdańsk would bring tangible benefits for the city and all users of the urban space. The study used a method of analysis and criticism of literature; detailed study of a particular case and the method of observation. According to the design model, the proposed solution will bring tangible benefits to all users of space – residents, businesses and city authorities. The results of tests carried out on account of this thesis were provided to the city authorities.

Large cities still peak the interests of some Indonesian society. Big city development as the center of economic activity is a powerful pull for society, influencing high workforce from both inside and outside of the city, causing a strong current of urbanization. One main problem that always accompanies urban areas development is density population. Urbanization has caused a very rapid explosion in the city population; one implication is the clumping workforce in large Indonesian cities. The high number of people who choose to settle in the city increase the number of both legal and illegal settlements. In the high-density settlement, many houses are not liveable and irregular. The densely populated settlements find many houses unfit for habitation and irregular. The research aims to formulate the sustainability level of Urban communities, Lowokwaru District, Malang City using quantitative method through sustainability level calculation. Jatimulyo Urban Communities is measured by the sustainability criteria of density, diversity, mixed-use, and compactness to formulate the related sustainable urban spatial structure. Interpretation of the calculation results references similar research. The calculation result shows that Jatimulyo Urban Communities is included in the moderate sustainability level, where density is moderate (101.1-200 people/ha), has a moderate building density (20-40 buildings/ha), has a random diversity level (1.0) and an entropy index (0.51), and compactness is near perfect inequality (Gini Coefficient 0.99).

ABSTRACTCurrently, there is an active rabies outbreak in the dog population of Arequipa, Peru. Inhabitants of the city are bitten by both pets and free-roaming dogs; therefore, the risk of human rabies transmission is concerning. Our objective was to estimate the rate of dog bites in the city and to identify factors associated with going or not going to a medical facility for rabies follow-up. To this end, we conducted a door-to-door survey of 4,000 houses in 21 urban and 21 peri-urban communities. We then analyzed associations between attaining follow-up rabies care and various socioeconomic factors, stratifying by urban and peri-urban localities. We found that the rate of dog bites in peri-urban communities (12.4%) was approximately three times higher than urban areas (4.0%). Among the people who were bitten, a significantly greater number of people in urban areas got follow-up rabies care than those in peri-urban areas.

Abstract: Global Position System (GPS) application is quite possibly the most valuable instrument in transportation the executives nowadays. The Roadway transportation is an significant function of GPS. To track down the briefest courses to a spot is the key issue of organization investigation. To address this issue, we have numerous calculations and procedures like Dijkstra algorithm, Ant Colony Optimization, Bellman Portage Algorithm, Floyd-Warshall algorithm, Genetic Algorithm, A* Algorithm furthermore, numerous others. In this paper our fundamental goal is to assess the brute force algorithm and the dynamic programming algorithm in settling the Shortest path issue (The travelling salesman issue). The paper will be finished up by giving the results of time and space complexity of these algorithms. To help a salesman visit every one of the urban communities in the rundown (giving the area of urban areas as the information) and he knows the area of the multitude of urban communities and track down the shortest path with the end goal that he visits every one of the urban areas just a single time and gets back to the city where he begun. The distance (cost) and the relating way ought to be shown as yield.

Actually, a serious program for poverty alleviation has been started since the last five years. Ta alleviate poverty problem especially in urban areas should not be focused on physical infrastructure development alone. it should be considering the dimension of social development to make urban development to be more harmony. Poverty alleviation is almost considered as the ultimate goals of the city planning, and this problem caused by the process of urbanization.Contemporary social problems in urban areas such as financial assistant for the poor, adolescent problem, drug abuse, criminality, prosti tution, social dysfunction, social cinflict, etc. Efforts to prevent these problems are needed; and improvement the quality of life of migrant workers should be the priority for the government of the municipalities. Regarding these problems, results of the the research in Keluraban Prawirodirjan found evidences that the empowerement program directed to migrant workers resulting a good lessons lerned for us.

Abundant Data

In the twenty-first century, ongoing rapid urbanization highlights the need to gain deeper insights into the social structure of cities. While work on this challenge can profit from abundant data sources, the complexity of this data itself proves to be a challenge. In this paper, we use diffusion maps, a manifold learning method, to discover hidden manifolds in the UK 2011 census dataset. The census key statistics and quick statistics report 1450 different statistical features for each census output area. Here, we focus primarily on the city of Bristol and the surrounding countryside, comprising 3490 of these output areas. Our analysis finds the main variables that span the census responses, highlighting that university student density and poverty are the most important explanatory variables of variation in census responses.

This study examined the link between urban planning practices and disaster risks. The study used the former Kunduchi Quarry Site within the City of Dar es Salaam to demonstrate how laxity in enforcing the laid down planning rules, regulations and procedures facilitates the accumulation and occurrence of disaster risks and disasters in urban areas. This undermines one of the central roles of urban planning, which is to protect the lives of people from disaster risks and disasters. In exploring this, the study specifically focused on understanding the rules, regulations and procedures of planning in Tanzania; the extent to which they are followed and, where they are not followed, their implications for disaster risks and disasters; the coping initiatives adopted by local communities to reduce risks and their level of success or failure; and finally the drawing of lessons and recommendations for disaster risk reduction in urban areas. Strongly emerging from this study is the finding that although planning rules and regulations do exist, they are not enforced. As a result urban communities suffer from disaster risks and disasters caused by unregulated activities. The study analyzed the coping initiatives that urban communities apply to reduce disaster risks in their areas. It noted that, while a range of “coping” responses could be observed, these are not lasting solutions to the disaster risks being faced. Sustainable solutions seem to be known by the local community but they are not adopted for fear of compromising or undermining their existing livelihood strategies.

The main objective of the Technology for the Society (IbM) is aimed at addressing the main problems faced by approximately 200 urban poor, namely: (1) The location of the residence located on the edge of the city with a distance society of about 10 km from urban areas. (2) Low economic level or low income about Rp.600.000 / month so it can not meet the basic needs and lift the economy of the surrounding community. The specific target in this IbM program is to apply Batako engine utilization technology to improve the quality and quantity of local Batako production of marginalized urban communities which originally produced only Batako blocks of about 200 seeds to 1000 seeds per day and increased concrete compressive strength. from 175 Kg / cm2 to 225 Kg / cm2, thereby increasing employment for the surrounding communities and increasing the income of business actors and partner workers. The method of implementation to solve the problems of the program partners of IbM is to increase the added value of community income through the utilization of Batako chili type which includes the stages: (a) Thesocialization of Batako IbM program; (b) Preparing social prerequisites, such as strengthening rural community groups, groups and forums as a medium to meet and solve problems faced by farmers or the poor; (c) Implementation of Batako IbM program, supported by related institutions (Dinas Cipta Karya Kabupaten Lumajang and University (Faculty of Engineering, Muhammadiyah University of Jember), and (d) Monitoring, evaluation and reporting.

The development of a city has now developed rapidly, especially the City of Jakarta. The development of the shape of the building, industry and technology affect social life in urban areas. Urban communities tend to be individualistic creatures, so issues begin to emerge about a third place. The presence of a third place becomes one of the places that humans need amid routine activities. According to Ray Oldenburg, the third place is between the first place which is the residence area and the second place which is the work area, where the third place is a place to relax, relax, and socialize with a new atmosphere of routine. Third place exists as a place that can be accessed by everyone because it is open and neutral so that it does not see elements of class, ethnicity, position, etc. This open nature is needed to strengthen the spirit of socialization among individuals from the gap of society groups. Examples of existing third place in Jakarta are parks or RPTRA, which are facilities that are available in every environment which is not so much in number. To answer this problem the author designed the Bukit Duri Recreation and Arts Facility for the community of Bukit Duri Village. This facility provides a place for the community to present interesting activities and activities that can be enjoyed by all residents openly. The main facilities that are offered include recreational areas, art galleries and commercial areas. The facility aims to provide an green open area while reviving the spirit of art in the Bukit Duri Village. Keywords:  facilities; netral; socialization; third place AbstrakPerkembangan sebuah kota kini sudah berkembang secara cepat, khususnya Kota Jakarta. Perkembangan dari bentuk bangunan, industri maupun teknologi berpengaruh terhadap kehidupan sosial di perkotaan. Masyarakat kota cenderung menjadi makhluk individualis, oleh karena itu mulai muncul isu-isu mengenai sebuah third place. Kehadiran sebuah third place menjadi salah satu tempat yang dibutuhkan manusia ditengah kesibukan rutinitas. Menurut Ray Oldenburg, third place berada di antara first place yang merupakan area tempat tinggal dan second place yang merupakan area kerja, dimana third place merupakan tempat untuk bersantai, berelaksasi, dan bersosialisasi dengan suasana yang baru dari rutinitas yang dilakukan. Third place hadir sebagai tempat yang dapat diakses oleh semua orang oleh karena itu bersifat terbuka dan netral sehingga tidak melihat unsur golongan, suku, jabatan, dll. Sifat terbuka ini diperlukan untuk mempererat jiwa sosialisasi antar individu dari kesenjangan golongan masyarakat. Contoh eksisting third place di Jakarta yaitu berupa taman atau RPTRA, yang merupakan fasilitas yang tersedia di setiap lingkungan yang jumlahnya tidak begitu banyak. Untuk menjawab permasalahan ini penulis merancang Fasilitas Rekreasi dan Kesenian Bukit Duri untuk masyarakat Kelurahan Bukit Duri. Fasilitas ini menyediakan wadah bagi masyarakat untuk menghadirkan kegiatan dan aktivitas yang menarik yang dapat dinikmati semua warga secara terbuka. Fasilitas utama yang diharirkan berupa area rekreasi, sanggar seni, dan area komersil. Fasilitas tersebut bertujuan untuk menyediakan area terbuka hijau sekaligus membangkitkan kembali jiwa seni yang ada di Kelurahan Bukit Duri.
