In Latvia, after restoration of independence on May 4, 1990, the economy was restructured. In Liepaja, without analyzing city's historical planning and not finding successful solutions for inhabitants, many factories closed down. Not getting to know with the Detailed Plan of the residential area "Green Grove", professionally developed by architect Irena Rubauska, and lobbying individual interests, specialists of "Group 93" Ltd. produced a new territorial plan for Liepaja. In 2007, Latvian in prison reform was started. The first prison was decided to build in the residential area "Green Grove". The object of research – Liepaja residential district "Green Grove". Research problem – functional and structural changes of "Green Grove" are implemented without performing the analysis of earlier urban development concepts and do not ensure harmonious development of inhabitants’ living environment. The goal of research – analyze the influence of Liepaja Economic Zone and city development strategies on quality of inhabitants’ living conditions in residential areas of "Green Grove". Main methods applied – this study is based on analysis of archive documents, projects, cartographic materials of urban planning, study of published literature and inspection of buildings in nature.

The natural ventilation of residential areas has placed more and more emphasis on residential area planning, according to the relationship between natural ventilation environments and the layout of architecture, we can reduce the energy consumption and the adverse effect of wind outdoors, improve the living environment and quality of life, making harmony between human and the nature. In this paper, we use Air-Pak to simulate the wind environment of residential areas. Through analyzing and simulating the air field which forms when the wind blows around the residential buildings by Air-Pak, we explain the advantage of the combination of computer simulation software and residential area planning. And we give some advice to the layout of the outdoor environment early in the residential planning area by the simulation of outdoor environments of buildings.

Slum Areas

The existence of injustice and inequality in access to the development results of the city. Slum areas have become one of the problems that exist in urban life. This automatically occurs as a result of a normal process called urbanization and development. Where many residents end up occupying non-residential areas due to their limited access. Seeing from the perspective of the access theory, how people live in the area is a form of their right to be able to utilize natural resources. One of these uses is used as a place to live. This study used a qualitative descriptive method, by taking several samples as a source of interviews. The arrangement of the slum area is now moving to another dimension, which is no longer forced evictions, but how to organize and change the residential area to be habitable. There are several indicators used in seeing a residential area that is said to be unfit for habitation. Upgrading slum areas have been able to change areas that were previously unfit to be better and able to meet indicators of the feasibility of residential areas in general. This step is also how the community continues to strive to gain access to the area. Kampung Jodipan and Kampung Tridi have changed their appearance, and have improved the quality of their living environment, with tidier, cleaner, and more affordable access to public services. Apart from the results of this research, there are still some problems, one of which is the uncertainty of land rights, so that they will not know the future of the area they live in now. The guarantee of land ownership is important to fight for equal rights to state services, state recognition, and the right to live in the area.

This study was conducted to assess the building coverage and environmental quality of residential area in Nkpor Uno Idemili North L.G, Nigeria. The study employed a descriptive survey design to find out level of compliance of buildings to planning regulations. One hundred and eighty (180) were interviewed using a modified instrument (questionnaire). The data collected were coded into SPSS and analyzed with descriptive statistics. The results showed that 72(40%) reported inadequate setback as a major effect of over built buildings, 55(30.6%) reported inadequate free air space, 37(20.6%) said inadequate ventilation and lighting. Also, the nature of drainage system provided in residential areas; 76(42.2%) has no drainage system, 70(38.9%) has close drainage system. The building coverage of residential houses in the study area; 60(33.3%) has their building falls under 51-75% for over built, 48(26.7%) has their building falls under 76-100% for overbuilt. For the factors influencing the percentage of area built upon, 57(31.7%) has greed and no money to acquire a large plot of land, 47(26.0%) has no land space to built their desirable house. Then, non adherence to provision of adequate ventilation and lighting in the residential houses in the study area affects the dwellers’ health and such factors can promote communicable diseases. In conclusion, it was observed that the compliance rate was not encouraging because the planning regulations recorded very low compliance as include set–back from property boundaries; inadequate free air space; lost of aesthetic values, and inadequate ventilation and lighting. Therefore, government should embark on enforcement of land use plan, and strategic plans for various towns and villages to accommodate its utilities and facilities.

Acoustic Exposure

Three-dimensional maps showing acoustic exposure can be used as information basis for residential areas planning and design in cities. This research work focuses on estimating changes in acoustic pollution in a large city caused by a new residential quarter being built there; overall, the quarter will be made up of 28 buildings including a school and a trade and entertaining center. The highest buildings in the quarter should not exceed 25 floors. Calculated estimates were performed at various heights, starting from 1.5 meters and up to 75 meters above the ground. Calculation results obtained for various heights allowed building up a threedimensional exposure picture for assessing expected levels of external noise at each floor in an apartment block. All calculations were made and acoustic exposure was visualized with a geoinformation system (ArcGIS 9.3 with ArcScene module) that allowed showing geographic and attributive data concerning an examined territory. Our experience and methodical approaches to estimating and visualizing noise propagation will allow making well-grounded managerial decisions on city development. Noise factor assessment is a key element in creating a favorable living environment in a city.

Alih fungsi lahan secara besar-besaran berdampak negatif pada kualitas ekologis area perkotaan yang mengakibatkan perubahan habitat hijau menjadi berbagai fungsi yang salah satunya menjadi daerah pemukiman mengakibatkan penurunan tutupan hutan. Loktabat Utara adalah salah satu area yang memiliki permukiman baru dalam jumlah besar. Sehingga, perlu dilakukan studi terhadap lebar tajuk dan porositas tajuk pada pohon yang ditaman oleh masyarakat di ruang hijau pribadi untuk melihat seberapa besar kualitas revegetasi setelah alih fungsi lahan yang terjadi. Lebar tajuk diukur dari ujung terluar hingga ujung terluar berikutnya yang dapat dibentuk oleh tajuk pohon. Porositas dikurung dengan menggunakan software ENVY yang kemudian dibandingkan dengan tabel konversi porositas. Hasil studi menunjukan bahwa lebar tajuk terbesar terbentuk pada pohon mentega dan porositas terendah terbentuk pada pohon jambu air. Sedangkan pohon yang paling digemari oleh adalah pohon rambutan yang ditaman oleh 26,7% masyarakatpermukiman baru karena dapat memberi manfaat langsung dan memiliki pertumbuhan yang cepat. Sehingga, dapat disimpulkan bahwa lebar kanopi dan porositas pohon di daerah permukiman baru dapat dikatakan baik dan memberi mamfaat langsung terhadap pemiliki ruang hijau pribadi. Kata kunci:      Kanopi, lebar tajuk, permukiman baru, porositas, ruang hijau pribadi. Land use give a massive negative impact on the ecological quality of the urban area resulted in changes of green habitat into various functions, one of which became a residential area resulted in a decrease of forest cover. North Loktabat is one area which has a large number of new residential area. Thus, necessary to study the canopy width and porosity on the trees in the garden by the people private green space to see how much the quality of regrowth after land conversion happens. Canopy width is measured from the outer edge the the opposite side formed by the tree canopy. Porosity measured using ENVY software then compared with a conversion table of porosity. The study results showed that the largest canopy width formed on butter tree and low porosity formed in water guava tree. While most favored tree is rambutan by 26.7% of new residential communities because it can provide direct benefits and have rapid growth. Thus, can be concluded that the canopy width and porosity of trees in new residential areas can be said to be good and give direct benefitto the owner of a private green space. Keywords : canopy, canopy width, new residential area, private green space, porosity.

Introduction. The formation of an optimal microclimate and ensuring the purity of atmospheric air in residential areas is possible in urban planning design practice by regulating the wind regime, which determines the thermal state of a person and the quality of the living environment, the temperature and humidity regime. The aim of the study is to assess the impact of the width, density, and planning techniques of main streets on the aeration regime and reduction of the concentration of motor transport emissions in the air of residential areas. Material and methods. The research was carried out both in full-scale conditions on the streets of large cities and residential buildings’ models at a scale of 1:20 using cup anemometers. Results. The regularities of the formation of the aeration regime and the level of gas contamination of main streets with different planning and development methods are established. The dependences of the coefficient of air flow transformation in terms of the speed on the width of streets and the size of gaps between buildings are obtained. Planning conditions that exclude the possibility of a closed circulation of impurities in street canyons are determined. The spatial and temporal dynamics of air pollution of transport communications in residential areas of settlements is studied. Conclusions. Hygienic standards for the content of motor transport emissions in the air of residential areas are provided by the optimal aeration mode, formed by choosing the width, position of the route, number of floors, planning techniques, and density of development of main streets. Simultaneously, it is necessary to introduce measures aimed at reducing the gross emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere and eliminating foci of atmospheric pollution on the transport networks of cities. When selecting urban planning decisions that ensure the environmental quality of the living environment of settlements in different geographical areas, it is necessary to consider the peculiarities of spatial-temporal dynamics of air pollution by transport and communications, due to changes in meteorological conditions and fluctuations in the intensity of traffic by hour of day, day of week and season of the year.

Introduction. The article describes the methods and results of the sociological study carried out by the Institute of the Genplan Institute of Moscow in 2019–2020 to measure the satisfaction of the population with the level and quality of social infrastructure development (objects of commerce, public catering, household services, health care, social welfare, education, culture and leisure, sports). The relevance of research is reflected in the increasing importance of the social approach to design, due to the formation of the information society, the importance of analysing consumer behaviour of the population in terms of changes in value orientations and lifestyles, cultural attitudes as a result of economic transformations that have had a significant impact on consumer behaviour. The involvement of residents in the development of prospects for the development of residential areas improves the quality of urban documentation, as it forms targets for its implementation; taking into account requests based on the satisfaction of Moscow’s living conditions and the comfort of the urban environment. Materials and methods. In carrying out the study, methods of field survey (collection of information on territory, population, built environment, state of the property) and systematic, typological, functional and structural analysis were applied. The sociological survey of the population was carried out by means of an online questionnaire, analysis and synthesis of the results and comparison with official statistics. Results. The study was carried out in 25 districts of Moscow (Northern Administrative Okrug, North-Western Administrative Okrug and Zelenogradsky Administrative Okrug): the territorial organization of social infrastructure facilities was analysed, the quality of the living environment within municipalities was assessed. A lack of facilities has been identified. The prospects for the development of social infrastructure have been determined taking into account the views of the inhabitants of the districts. Conclusions. The study provided a unique tool for identifying emerging imbalances in the development of social infrastructure, as well as effective urban planning of a cohesive urban environment, based on both normative calculations and population estimates. In order to objectively assess social development and to compile a ranking of districts according to the level of social infrastructure development, the following have been developed: index of population’s social infrastructure, index of diversity of facilities, integral index of social infrastructure development.
