Abstract This article explores the spatial differentiation and integration between the post-disaster victims and the indigenous peasants 8 years after a rapid off-site resettlement oriented by governments in New Beichuan. Data were broadly collected from placement documents, questionnaires, interviews and site measurement by empirical research and on-site investigation in 2014. The resettlement plan was introduced and analyzed for housing resettlement, open space systems, public facilities allocation and resettlement policies. Based on statistical analysis of the questionnaire data and observation on the usage of the built environment, problems with the spatial usage and mismatches between the specific spatial requirements and subjective planning intention of integration are analyzed and preliminary findings are shown. The results showed that the excessive pursuit of speed and deficiency in economically self-sustaining efforts might contribute to insufficient attention given to spatial, social and economic aspects and leads to inevitable and long-standing problems, such as housing quality problems, neighborhoods management and security concerns, contradictions between the housing layout and local living habits, different spatial usage preferences between the indigenous peasants and post-disaster migrants, and disequilibrium of public facility allocation.

The layout of public service facilities and their accessibility are important factors affecting spatial justice. Previous studies have verified the positive influence of public facilities accessibility on house prices; however, the spatial scale of the impact of various public facilities accessibility on house prices is not yet clear. This study takes transportation analysis zone of Wuhan city as the spatial unit, measure the public facilities accessibility of schools, hospitals, green space, and public transit stations with four kinds of accessibility models such as the nearest distance, real time travel cost, kernel density, and two step floating catchment area (2SFCA), and explores the multiscale effect of public services accessibility on house prices with multiscale geographically weighted regression model. The results show that the differentiated scale effect not only exists among different public facility accessibilities, but also exists in different accessibility models of the same sort of facility. The article also suggests that different facilities should adopt its appropriate accessibility model. This study provides insights into spatial heterogeneity of urban public service facilities accessibility, which will benefit decision making in equal accessibility planning and policy formulation for the layout of urban service facilities.

The housing environment that appears in many urban areas today, is available in the form of real estate and in the form of simple housing. The existence of these houses is equipped with supporting infrastructure. One of them is the availability of open space as a public facility, which can be utilized by all residents of housing. If you look at the historical aspects of past traditional settlements, such as the Tanean Lanjang Madura settlement, the Samin Bojonegoro Community Village, the Sumatra Karo Batak Village, and so on, it is found that there is open space as a public space. Where the function and role of open space are used for joint activities, gathering places and socializing, as well as the center of orientation of several groups of houses, so that the location tends to be in the center. The purpose of this study is to see the existence of open space of traditional settlements (past) and present. As well as analyzing the activities carried out by the pas community and its current development. By using the method of field observation (observation) and qualitative descriptive analysis, the results show that the existence of open space in the present, such as in residential or residential groups, still exists. If in the past traditional settlements, the existence of open spaces was used as a means to gather and socialize, then in its current development, open space could be used as a means of playing and exercising for children, recreational activities (gathering on holidays), supported economic activities (traders who sell), as well as a means of worship (Eid al-Fitr / Eid al-Adha). This shows the development and diversity of functions and activities in the open space, so that its utilization can increase economic values, religious values and other social values.

This is the first study to comprehensively evaluate the benefit of urban open spaces and cropland with different adjacent public facilities seen as locally undesirable (“not in my backyard,” NIMBY) or desirable (“yes in my backyard,” YIMBY). The total benefit increases or decreases for urban open space and cropland with adjacent NIMBY or YIMBY facilities in a municipality in Taiwan. The results show that for the city as a whole, the current arrangement of NIMBY and YIMBY in different zones decreases the total benefit of urban open spaces in highly urbanized zones and increases the total damage to cropland in extremely rural zones. This indicates a need to avoid further installing NIMBY or YIMBY facilities in already occupied urban open spaces. The results also demonstrate that locating NIMBY or YIMBY facilities near cropland fails to highlight the benefit of YIMBY facilities and magnifies opposition to NIMBY facilities. For individual housing units, the total damage is 1.87% of the average housing price for cropland-type open space with adjacent NIMBY or YIMBY facilities, and the total benefit is 7.43% of the average housing price for urban-type open space in a highly urbanized area. In contrast, the total benefit for open space with adjacent NIMBY or YIMBY facilities is a 2.95%-13.80% increase in the average housing price for areas with mixed urban open space and cropland.

ABSTRACT Northern Sanur Beach (Sanur Kaja Beach) consisting of Matahari Terbit Beach and the main Sanur Beach is a polular tourist destination on the island of Bali. Its strategic location, famous history, public and additional facilities, makes Sanur a demanding location for tourists. But one important role for such tourist destination is the cleanliness of the beach itself, providing comfort to travellers. A direct observational study and a descriptive cross-sectional study with randomized survey of 100 travellers (50 domestic and 50 international) regarding the cleanliness of Northern Sanur beach. Through the survey we gathered traveller’s evaluation on current sanitation of public facility (toilet, parking, and resting), additional facilities (restaurant, gift shop, and street vendors), and sanitary facility (rubbish bins) condition in Northern Sanur beach giving a score of very clean, moderate, or poor. Through direct observational we looked at physical objects around the environement such as its geography and facilities available in Northern Sanur beach collected through interviews from local informans. Respondents showed an overall positive response of “moderate” 25 of respondents or (50%) of domestics, and 32 respondents or (64% ) foreigners regarding sanitation quality of Northern Sanur beach. Public facilities as well as additional facilities are generally considered to be moderately clean by the total respondents. But traveller’s opinion suggested the “poor” availability of rubbish bins 25 of respondent or (50%) domestics and 23of respondents or  (46%) foreigners. Public facilities of four public toilets, two parking area, rubbish bins, are available for travellers and taken care by local employees assigned by the head of village. As travellers states Northern Sanur to be moderately clean, other results that are considered poor or below expectation regarding specific public facilities should be taken care of to provide a better tourist attraction. Cleanliness is a tourist attraction itself, therefore keeping clean it is important for the sustainability of tourism.

Third-hand smoke (THS) causes pathological changes in the liver, lungs, and skin. THS exposure can be ubiquitous, chronic, and unconscious. However, little is known about THS exposure in public facilities and its susceptible population. This paper aimed to identify which public facilities and socio-demographic groups were especially vulnerable to THS. Data from 1360 adults obtained from Korean National Environmental Health Survey I (2009–2011) were analyzed. To study the sole effect of THS, we restricted the study population to those participants who had never smoked and who had no exposure to second-hand smoke. The assessed variables included the type and frequency of public transportation, frequency of use of 12 different public facilities, and 8 socio-demographic factors. Urinary cotinine was used as a biomarker. T-tests and analysis of variance were used for univariate analyses, while generalized linear regression was used for multivariate analysis. Frequent use of public transportation, bars, internet cafés, and participants with low levels of education, divorced or bereaved, living in multi-unit houses, and with smokers within the family were associated with significantly high urinary cotinine levels. These findings indicate that the frequent use of public transportation, certain public facilities and certain socio-demographic factors can result in high THS exposure.

The availability of social facilities in a region needs to be adjusted to the standard needs of regional public facilities to serve the needs of the population. Evaluation of the availability and needs of social facilities is important to support regional development. Besides that, social facilities can be an emergency infrastructure facility when disaster strikes. The existence of schools, health facilities, means of worship, a building or meeting hall becomes very important when a disaster occurs and requires rapid, appropriate, and emergency evacuation. The preparation of public infrastructure for emergency response service is one of the quick response of evacuation and anticipation of disaster victims. The results of this study are the analysis of the social facilities availability and social facilities needs as a means of public infrastructure in Banjarnegara Regency based on Indonesian National Standard. By using the analysis of serviceability, it can be evaluated the availability and needs of social facilities based on the region and can be included in regional development planning.

Despite 2,374 units of houses were destroyed during the 2014 major floods in Kelantan, the governments had only manage to build 143 units of post-disaster houses due to lack of land to accommodate the flood victims because of land ownership constraints. Current practice of post-disaster house reconstruction in Malaysia only accommodate victims with land ownership. The flood victims without land do not have the means or money to buy new land for the construction of the post-disaster house. A land allocation policy for victims without land has yet to be introduced in Malaysia. Using a case study approach, the thrust of this research is to highlight the need of land allocation approach for the flood victims who are without land for post-disaster house construction. Therefore, a semistructured interview was conducted on twelve experts, from the field of land law, policies and administrations, to gauge their perceptions in the applicability of land allocation approach in post-disaster house construction. Data from the interviews were analysed using content analysis technique. Findings from the analysis showed that the experts recommended the state alienation approach in accordance with National Land Code 1965 to allocate land for an emergency, temporary shelters and post-disaster house construction. Land allocation policy can assist government in ensuring that land to shelter disaster victims can be made available after the disaster.
