The geological structure and tectonism of Paleo Mikro Horio development area in relation with the morphology and engineering geological - hydrogeological behaviour of the formations contributed to the instability of certain slopes and the manifestation of serious landslides, with distinctive event, the landslides manifested on 13/1/1963, that resulted in the death of 13 persons and the destruction of the greatest part of the village. Manifestation of recent phenomena refers to slope failures restricted and surficial, outside the residential area at the upward forest slope of the village. To ensure safe delimitation of the village residential development area, all the abovementioned data were evaluated, taking also into account the rather high seismic risk of the area, and an engineering geological map was compiled at a scale of 1:5.000. This map includes seven (7) engineering geological units, three (3) for the basement formations and four (4) for the recent formations. For every one of them a general description, the engineering geological and hydrogeological behaviour as well as basic approaches of the engineering geological setting resulting from the geodynamic-geomorphologic evolution of the area are given. Based on all the collected data and the engineering geological map, recommendations relevant for the residential use development of the area were formulated, mainly by means of a zonation map including three zones as following: (a) areas considered safe without taking specific additional measures, (b) areas considered insecure due to the activity of the groundwater and their instability in general, specifically under dynamic load, although current soil displacement phenomena have not been observed and (c) areas covered by the 1963's landslide materials, considered unsuitable for building. Finally, the application of measures that improved the geotechnical conditions of the new residential areas as well as the existed ones was thought to be necessary, apart from the good foundation of the houses and the anti-seismic enforcement of the constructions.

Since 2010, landslides incident always occured in Banjarnegara District and the frequency of that incident has rapidly increase over the years. Finally at the end of 2014, one of the biggest landslide disaster ever in Indonesia happened in this region. This incident was demolished one sub-village and approximately killed 122 people. Based on those explanation, there should be a study to provide an overview and information on the phenomenon of landslides, the causative factors and which areas have the opportunity to occurs the landslides, especially the chances of landslides in residential areas in the future. In achieving these goals,  this study used a mathematical model of logistic regression analysis and application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) that based on the data of variables cause landslides such as type of soil, the geological structure, topography, land use, precipitation, road and drainage networks. Results of the analysis that has been conducted shows that the District Karangkobar has five levels of the chances of landslides ie, 0-4%, from 4 to 12.7%, from 12.7 to 22%, from 22 to 32.5%, and 32, 5-50%, whereas this percentage is obtained based on predictive models of dua variables that have a significant influence on the occurrence of landslides these are road networks and drainage networks variable. In addition, it is known also that the settlement area that has the largest land area ratio against the highest odds landslides (32.5 to 50%) is a settlement area in the village Jlegong with a land area of 3.33 hectares, or approximately 43% of the total area settlement region.

In the present paper, the serious landslide phenomena that make difficult the residential development of Kanalia village are studied. Kanalia village is located on a slope of the eastern bank of Roustianitis torrent, the main hydrographie axis of the broader area, which is one of the main branches of Sperchios River. The geological structure of the area (sandstones and siltstones of the Pindos zone flysch) as well as the hydro meteorological and climatological conditions favoring the formation of locally very thick weathering mantle and also the development of seasonal aquifers, were at first studied. As it was confirmed, the main causes of landslide phenomena manifestation are related to the above conditions, to the erosional activity of water in the slopes of the hydrographie axes and finally to the human interventions.These phenomena are observed in five (5) main sites with most important the one affected the South - Southwest part of the village covering the area from KanaliaGardiki provincial road until Roustianitis torrent downwards. In that case, the periodic re-activations of the sliding phenomena during the last forty years have caused full destruction and abandonment of this part of the village, since no relevant measures have been taken so far. The remaining sites are restricted in some parts of the village road network, without affecting residential zones.For the protection and development of the residential area of Kanalia village, the following measures were recommended for the improvement of the ground conditions in the slope affected areas: (a) drainage both of the surficial and ground waters in the vulnerable zones, (b) slope supporting works with gabion walls (flexible structures), (c) protection of the stream slopes from erosion and undermining with gabion walls and gully dams, (d) tree plantations, and (e) suitable and appropriate foundation of the new constructions on the stable basement or foundation using specific types, if necessary. It is suggested the application of these measures for the safety of the road network, the good operation of which constitutes a prerequisite for a safe residential development.

Snatch theft incidents are on the rise in Malaysia especially in the cities. It tends to happen in cities because there is a possibility to commit it and both crime and urban are often associated with each other. The aim of this paper is to find out whether the building with two or more levels in urban area contributes to the snatch theft incidents. The present study has been taken up to detect the hotspots of snatch theft in Selangor, Malaysia. The crime data were obtained by requesting and analysing the index crime statistical data from the Royal Malaysian Police (RMP). This study made use of the Geographical Information System (GIS) where its 3D modelling function to construct, assess and analyse the area with high snatch theft cases. The crime reports of 2010 until 2015 were geocoded and the crime maps were prepared in ArcGIS 10.2. It was found that the hotspot area is a mix-used development area which consists mainly of commercial and residential areas of more than two-level buildings.

The article analyzes the processes of suburbanization and transformation of the spatial structure of the city of Ulan-Ude. Modern trends in the growth of Western and historical factors of development, due to socio-economic and historical factors of development. In the 1990s-2000s, because of the decline in agriculture and, as a result, the lack of jobs, the rural population began to migrate massively to the Buryat Republic’s capital. However, the prices for houses and apartments in the city center were unbearable for many migrants, so the purchase of land plots and the construction of houses were affordable for many. The estrangement of agricultural lands and their inclusion in residential areas allowed the city of Ulan-Ude and suburban areas to somewhat expand the territory of settlements and create a huge number of GNPP (gardeners non-profit partnership) and DNPP (dacha non-profit partnership). The city and suburban areas were not ready for such a flow and were not able to provide the newly arrived migrants with social, road transport and communal infrastructure. As a result, the city was surrounded by a suburbia almost devoid of any infrastructure. There are some elements of false urbanization or squatter area, which is a type of urbanization in which the urban population rapid growth is not accompanied by a commensurate increase in urban functions. In recent years, the growth rate of suburban settlements has decreased, mainly due to mortgages, which have become more affordable for the population and the growth of multi-storey construction. In addition, the village is slowly depleting the human resources that feed the city and the suburbs. In other words, those who wanted to move to the city have already moved

The geological map of the old western region of Nigeria indicates the presence of iron ore deposit at Iboro village Ogun state (7.9983o - 7.99933o N, 3.5790o - 3.5890o E). Hence a ground magnetic survey was carried out at a location at Iboro village so as to delineate the subsurface magnetic anomalies and to know whether the anomalies favour accumulation of magnetic minerals. The survey was carried out using high resolution proton precession magnetometer model G-856X. Eight traverses were run at 5m separations and earth magnetic intensity values were measured at 10m intervals along each traverse; the acquired data were corrected for drift. The residual anomalies obtained by removal of regional gradient from observed data using trend analysis were presented as profiles and maps. The treated data were qualitatively and quantitatively interpreted and the results gave values for the total ground magnetic anomalies that varied between a minimum and maximum peak values of about -33.0 and 30.6nT respectively. Depth to the basement rock was estimated using Peter’s half slope method which gave a maximum depth of about 13m. The contour maps and the total relative graphs present the subsurface picture of the geological structure that is assumed to harbour the metallic minerals through the action of the field towards the concentration of anomalies. It was suspected that the overburden was relatively thin in the study area and the minerals were at a shallow depth.

<p><em>The implementation of greenship homes rating tools on houses in residential areas has been carried out in recent times. On the other hand, in mountain settlements have the value of local wisdom considers the environment as the basis of settlement management. The purpose of this study found the value of green buildings mountain settlements, the case of Kledung Village, Wonosobo, using the analysis of greenship homes rating tools. Qualitative research is conducted by physical mapping methods and interviews to homeowner informants. The study used 12 purposive samples, which were defined based on four character locations. The results of the study, based on 4 character location of the case, greenship homes value is relatively similar / its same. There is no difference in value between one case than another, so that analysis is done at once. Overall, the results of the study explained that the greenship homes rating tool can be applied in kledung village. The result is 1) all buildings are larger than the ratio of greenship rating tools, 2) all houses have electricity meters and monitoring; 3) sorting of organic and inorganic waste; 4) pest management; 5) some houses use recicled, reuse, and local materials, 6) sunny utilization and solar entry into homes and cross-circulation wind management in houses. Uniquenesse's finding are 1) there is a minimum large tree in Kledung village, because the village has cold temperatures,  high humidity and little daily sunlight time. In addition, the people in Kledung Village do not regulate clean water, because it is abundant in this village</em><em></em></p>

A detailed geological investigation was carried out to assess the distribution of minerals and their geological control in Bandipur-Gondrang area of Tanahu district, a part of Lesser Himalaya in central Nepal. The area is found rich in both metallic and non-metallic mineral deposits. The main metallic minerals found are iron in Phalamdada and Labdi Khola, copper in Bhut Khola and poly-metallic deposits including suspected gold in Bhangeri Khola and Jaubari Khola-Bar Khola sections. A large deposit of inorganic carbon is found around the Gondrang-Watak area. Similarly, a good quality of green marble (metabasite) is found as decorative stone in Bagar Khola area and good quality of roofing stone in Bandipur area. In addition to these economic deposits other several sub economic to non-economic mineral are also located in the geological map of the area. Categorization of these mineral deposits is based on the probable reserve and laboratory analysis of related samples. Geological control of mineral deposits is considered to be the stratigraphic, structural, metamorphic and hydrothermal. Iron mineralization of the area is found stratigraphical control, copper deposits by magmatism of basic rocks (amphibolites), and poly-metallic deposits are related to the hydrothermal processes.

North-northeast of the village of Ilinden (Southern Pirin Mnt.) three eclogite boudins were separated on the geological map in scale 1:50 000 (Sarov, 2010). The rocks belong to the Slasten lithotectonic unit. The mineral assemblage and mineral chemistry do not allow these rocks to be classified as eclogites. They can be considered as eclogite-like ones, formed by postmagmatic-metasomatic alteration of the host rocks. Based on LA-ICP-MS sphene U-Pb dating, eclogite-like rocks yield a Late Jurassic age (160±19 Ma).
