The assessments on human perception of urban spaces are essential for the management and upkeep of surroundings. A large part of the previous studies is dedicated towards the visual appreciation and judgement of various physical features present in the surroundings. Visual qualities of the environment stimulate feelings of safety, pleasure, and belongingness. Scaling such assessments to cover city boundaries necessitates the assistance of state-of-the-art computer vision techniques. We developed a mobile-based application to collect visual datasets in the form of street-level imagery with the help of volunteers. We further utilised the potential of deep learning-based image analysis techniques in gaining insights into such datasets. In addition, we explained our findings with the help of environment variables which are related to individual satisfaction and wellbeing.

Laboratory experiments were performed to investigate human perception of safe zone around an industrial robot. It was shown that an angle of approach toward the robot, the speed of robot motions and exposure to a simulated accident significantly affected the student subjects perception of the safe area around the MH33 robot. On the average, across all approach angles, the subjects selected distances of 49.2 and 70.0 cm from the robot's working envelope, for the accident and non-accident group, respectively.

The article highlights the problem of loss of the ability to solve design problems by the modern creators of the settlements based on knowledge of the functional structure of the object, demands of potential consumers, taking into account the features of the object’s location in the selected area, while creating a safe, reliable and comfortable environment able to implement functions for which it is intended. Guided by the specialized publications in the field of the liquid and gas hydraulics and mechanics, the author considers and describes in detail the water flows and their impact on space characteristics, including options for the contribution of hydraulic noise to space acoustics, taking into account human perception, and options for contribution of the atmospheric air temperature and humidity variability to the thermal balance of the city residents. The parameters of buildings are identified, the change of which affects the change of space characteristics. The regularities of the impact of fountains during operation on the space noise and ecological regime formation, which will provide consumer needs and comfortable conditions necessary for a positive physical perception of space, are determined. The results of the study will be used as a reference material in the development of graphic models and techniques of the architectural and planning arrangement of urban spaces with fountains, which, being perfectly integrated into the urban fabric will ensure sustainable development of the spaces with fountains over time.

Urban spaces throughout history have played a significant role in the socio-economic life of the inhabitants and have served as the center for communication and transformation in the cities. Study of historical periods and the development of urban space lead to our understanding of human perception toward life in different periods. The historically confluence of sociopolitical and economic changes shapes urban setting. The historical development of Vali Asr Street investigated to examine sociopolitical dynamics in development and transformation of urban space in the center of Tehran metropolitan. This paper contributes in identification of opportunities, threats, weaknesses and strengths in the three approaches for Vali-Asr street that might be used as assessment indicators for future development of urban space.
