The purpose of this paper is to investigate the contribution of urban morphology to the formation of microclimatic conditions prevailing within urban outdoor spaces. We studied the compact form of a city and examined, at a detailed, street plan level, elements related to air temperature, urban ventilation, and the individual’s thermal comfort. All elements examined are directly affected by both the urban form and the availability of open and green spaces. The field study took place in a typical compact urban fabric of an old city center, the city center of Thessaloniki, where we investigated the relationship between urban morphology and microclimate. Urban morphology was gauged by examining the detailed street plan, along with the local building patterns. We used a simulation method based on the ENVI-met© software. The findings of the field study highlight the fact that the street layout, the urban canyon, and the open and green spaces in a compact urban form contribute decisively both to the creation of the microclimatic conditions and to the influence of the bioclimatic parameters.

In casting a new look at city; this study interprets the urban form in respect of the role played by human perception of space. The main aim of this research at a macro level is to attain a strong theorical basis through a multi-dimensional approach to the city. The method of analyzing and carrying out a critique of it at an applied level will clarify the impact, which cultural factors have in the formation of urban form. This preliminary recognition and idealism is based on a hermeneutic and deductive method that is particular to the intellectual sciences In the process of devising theories, studying the urban planning texts related to the subject of study and the conclusion from the field study which is carried out in the Isfahan Naghshe Jahan square in the Safavy period played a key role in the research in addition to the goals and questions.

This study aims to identify the relationship between the creative capabilities of workers in 5-star hotels in the city of Amman and their cultural intelligence. In its measurement of the creative capabilities as an independent variable, the study adopted a scale consisting of three dimensions, namely: fluency, flexibility and originality. Whereas it relied in measuring the cultural intelligence as a dependent variable, on a scale consisting of three dimensions, namely: knowledge (cognition), motivation and behavior. The study was conducted on a sample of (258) workers currently working in these hotels. The required particulars for this study were collected through a specially prepared questionnaire for this purpose after having reviewed multi previous studies. The sample was distributed according to the simple random sample mechanism. The study revealed that there is a significant positive relationship between the dimensions of creative capabilities of workers in such hotels and their cultural intelligence. The study also included a set of recommendations and mechanisms that can be applied by the managements of these hotels to tackle some aspects of the dimensions constituting the cultural intelligence of workers.

This article explores the relevance of the concept of Silk Road for understanding the patterns of trade and exchange between China, Eurasia and the Middle East. It is based on ethnographic fieldwork in the city of Yiwu, in China's Zhejiang Province. Yiwu is a node in the global distribution of Chinese ‘small commodities’ and home to merchants and traders from across Asia and beyond. The article explores the role played by traders from Afghanistan in connecting the city of Yiwu to markets and trading posts in the world beyond. It seeks to bring attention to the diverse types of networks involved in such forms of trade, as well as their emergence and development over the past thirty years.

Este trabalho objetivou o mapeamento de áreas potencialmente favoráveis à pesquisa de água subterrânea para o município de Parari, utilizando técnicas de geoprocessamento. Para a análise de fraturamento foi utilizada a banda 4 em papel fotográfico da imagem TM/Landsat-5 e fotografias aéreas que permitiram identificar as principais direções das estruturas lineares: NS±15º, EW±15º, NNE15º, NNW±15º, NE±15º, NW±15º, N60E±15º e N60W±15º. Os dados obtidos das imagens e medidos nos afloramentos foram submetidos ao tratamento estatístico proposto por Aliyev (1980), que permitiu o estudo regional dos eventos da tectônica rúptil. A partir da utilização do modelo de Riedel (1929), com as modificações de Sadowski (1983), definiu-se 2 sistemas de cisalhamento, dextral e sinistral. O Mapa Integrado contempla os dados obtidos como também o posicionamento das áreas com maior potencialidade à pesquisa de água subterrânea. No mapa estão indicadas áreas favoráveis à pesquisa de água subterrânea, relacionando cruzamento de estruturas abertas, com base na proposta de Sampaio (1987). As direções estruturais que mais se adequaram ao modelo, consequentemente mais propícias à prospecção de água subterrânea foram NS±15º, EW±15º, NE±15º, N60E±15º e N60W±15º.Palavras-chave: geologia, geoprocessamento, semiárido Field Study with Integrated Landsat Image to Indicate a Favorable Areas Underground Water ABSTRACTThis study aimed at mapping the potentially favorable to the survey of underground water for the city of Parari, using geoprocessing techniques. For the analysis of fracturing was used band 4 on photographic paper image TM/Landsat-5 and aerial photographs that have identified the main directions of linear structures: NS ± 15 º, EW ± 15, NNE15 º NNW ± 15, NE ± 15 º , NW ± 15, ± 15 ° N60E and N60W ± 15 °. Data from the images and measured in outcrops were subjected to statistical treatment proposed by Aliyev (1980), which allowed the study of regional tectonic events brittle. From this model of Riedel (1929) with modifications Sadowski (1983) have defined two systems shear dextral and sinistral. The integrated map includes data obtained as well as the positioning of the areas with greatest potential for groundwater research. On the map are indicated favorable areas for groundwater research, cross-linking open structures, based on the proposal of Sampaio (1987). The structural directions that best conformed to the model, thus more conducive to prospecting for groundwater were ± 15 ° NS, EW ± 15, ± 15 ° NE, N60E and N60W ± 15 ° ± 15 °.Keywords: geology, geoprocessing, semiarid
