PurposeThis study aims to develop a framework for optimizing the spatial requirements of the equipment in a construction site using a geographic information system (GIS).Design/methodology/approachAn ongoing construction project, an existing thermal powerplant in India, is considered to be the case study, and the corresponding construction activities were scheduled. The equipment spaces were defined for the scheduled activities in building information modelling (BIM), which was further imported to GIS to define the topology rules, validate and optimize the spatial requirements. The BIM simulates the indoor environment, which includes the actual structure being constructed, and the GIS helps in modelling the outdoor environment, which includes the existing structures, temporary facilitates, topography of the site, etc.; thus, this study incorporates the knowledge of BIM in a geospatial environment to obtain optimized equipment spaces for various activities.FindingsSpace in construction projects is to be considered as a resource as well as a constraint, which is to be modelled and planned according to the requirements. The integration of BIM and GIS for equipment space planning will enable precise identification of the errors in the equipment spaces defined and also result in fewer errors as possible. The integration has also eased the process of assigning the topology rules and validating the same, which otherwise is a tedious process.Originality/valueThe workspace for each activity will include the space of the equipment. But, in most of the previous works of workspace planning, only the labour space is considered, and the conflicts and congestions occurring due to the equipment were neglected. The planning of equipment spaces cannot be done based only on the indoor environment; it has to be carried out by considering the surroundings and topography of the site, which have not been researched extensively despite its importance.

A group of children experience disability in segregation conditions, namely the status of individuals who have difficultie / are denied access to public services. Many of them are marginalized and it is difficult to access existing facilities in the city. The aim of the study was to find out what application of accessibility services tended to have been implemented and which was still less applied in urban public open space planning. In terms of efforts to achieve the right of equality and fulfillment of services in the public open space for children with disabilities. The method used in this study is qualitative and this research is descriptive. by collecting data related to elephant wong parks and denggung parks. then the data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman analysis method, namely the analysis method with 3 stages. 1) data reduction 2) data display 3) conclution. The results of this study indicate that the application of accessibility services in terms of four criteria, namely: ease, usability, safety, and independence. Ease is still a priority in the design of public open space and independence is still a part that has not been well considered, so that public open space cannot be used independently for persons with disabilities. Keyword: Accessibility, Open Space, Disabled child

This study discusses the analysis of the application of the concept of green city in cluster dwellings in Gading Serpong. The selected case studies are Desa Menteng and Grand Amarillo. The selection of case study objects is based on awards obtained from property awards. This study tries to uncover the theory of the concept of a green city that is now used by P2KH (Green City Organizers' Alloy). Assessment uses indicators determined by P2KH Licenses; Green City Planning and Design, Green Open Space Planning, Efficient Energy Consumption (Green Energy), Effective Water Management (Green Water), Environmentally Friendly Waste Management (Green Waste), Green Buildings, Sustainable Transportation System Implementation (Transportation Green), Increasing the Role of Communities as Green Communities. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method. The final results found by one cluster according to the specified criteria are not yet clustered.

This article attempts to discuss the implementation of standards approach, 2 hectares per 1000 population as approved by the National Physical Planning Council in 2005. Using Kuala Lumpur as case study, the analysis showed that the uniformity of standards approach implementation has failed to take into account the distinction within the local conditions which have implications on the level of achievement for the 6 planning zones in Kuala Lumpur from 2011 to 2017. Use of the standards approach without modifications has created high density zones such as the City Centre, Sentul-Manjalara and Wangsa Maju-Maluri failed to attain the standards. Besides, other zones namely Damansara-Penchala, Bandar Tun Razak-Sungai Besi and Bukit Jalil-Seputih have exceeded the targeted standards. Based on the analysis, the distinction of local condition for each zone in Kuala Lumpur in terms of population number, urban land availability, land value, urbanization process and densification rate of the city need to be considered in implementing standards approach.

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the conditions of a work environment that were related to job dissatisfaction among software personnel. A representative sample of 120 software employees were administered a questionnaire (including a Task Analysis Form and a Semantic Differential Scale) to determine the office conditions that were causing employee dissatisfaction. Each participant was also interviewed for approximately one hour. Four major problem areas were identified. They were: (1) Lack of visual and audible privacy; (2) Poor aesthetics; (3) Insufficient storage facilities, and (4) Improper design of work desk area. Design recommendations were developed by Interior Designers, Human Factor Specialists and Architects. Prototype offices were installed to accommodate a full department of forty-one software employees. The daily tasks of the participants continued on a normal routine for an evaluation period of seven months. At the end of this time, all participants were interviewed and the responses from these interviews were compared to those of the old offices. Statistical differences were found in all areas, and levels of job satisfaction greatly improved. The results are reported and conclusions are made concerning work-space planning, job satisfaction and productivity levels.

Well-being and soundscape analysis should be useful in re-design works involved in the planning of recreational areas and green spaces on campuses to improve the health of students, academics, and university staff. Proper space planning, for example, in campus parks, including the planning of soundscape zones, is important in relieving study and work stress. The aim of the study was to conduct a multicriteria analysis of the soundscape and well-being of users in the university park on campus in Olsztyn (Poland). It was important to redefine thinking about the re-composition of park space, including reduction of noise and improving well-being. The research included: 1. measurements of sound pressure levels (SPL) at selected points in two periods, 2. interview with park users and preparation of a mental map, 3. experts’ opinion on soundscape and well-being, and 4. design schemes for re-design of the park. The results of research regarding the perception of the soundscape and well-being in Kortowo park by respondents differ slightly from the results of SPL measurements. The results also confirm the difference between SPL in the leafless and leafy period. The results show a clear relationship between the perception of sounds and well-being in the park. However, in some areas near the water, where higher noise levels are reported the respondents felt quite comfortable. Finally, design schemes are proposed, based on experts’ opinions and results of the analysis.
