This article deals with the issues regarding the accommodation of catering establishments in a residential area and to ensure pedestrian accessibility to them to save time and reduce the load on the city's transport system. It is based on a three-stage service system and the average walking speed of the economically active population. To solve the unsatisfactory location of catering establishments in a residential area, a formula for calculating the service radius for each type of catering establishment, and classify catering establishments into fast, leisure, and mixed types are proposed. To conclude, with the implementation of the attached calculations in urban planning, the location of types of catering establishments in the residential area could solve the set goals.

Este estudo resulta da aplicação de técnicas de geoprocessamento para planejamento urbano, nomeadamente o uso da modelagem de redes para analisar a interferência da topografia na acessibilidade pedestre dos espaços verdes da cidade de Faro, em Portugal. Pelo fato de serem importantes ao ambiente, e à saúde individual e coletiva das populações urbanas, os espaços verdes deveriam estar distribuídos por meio de uma rede de praças, parques e jardins, acessíveis a poucos minutos de caminhada de qualquer ponto da cidade. Nesta nota, apresentamos os resultados de uma análise comparativa das áreas de influência pedestre dos espaços verdes de Faro, ou seja, daquelas áreas da cidade das quais é possível acessar algum dos espaços verdes urbanos através de um deslocamento a pé de no máximo dez minutos. A inclinação das ruas da cidade foi identificada pela incorporação de informações altimétricas advindas de um Modelo Digital de Terreno (MDT), para que pudéssemos incluir a interferência da topografia na velocidade de caminhada e, consequentemente, na acessibilidade pedestre dos espaços verdes. Por meio de análise espacial, foram identificadas e comparadas as áreas de influência pedestre em termos de tamanho, extensão e declive dos caminhos, além da velocidade média de caminhada. Em Faro, constatou-se a concentração de espaços verdes nos bairros centrais mais antigos e a carência destes espaços nos bairros mais novos, situados no norte da cidade. Para além dos resultados encontrados, que servem de subsídio direto ao planejamento urbano de Faro, este estudo reforça a importância do uso de técnicas de geoprocessamento na integração de elementos naturais e humanos, bem como na elaboração de análises aplicadas ao planejamento urbano. A B S T R A C T This study resulted from the application of geoprocessing techniques for urban planning, notably the use of network modeling to analyze the interference of the topography in the pedestrian accessibility of the green spaces of the city of Faro, Portugal. Because they are important to the environment, and to the individual and collective health of urban populations, green spaces should be distributed in cities through a network of squares, parks and gardens, accessible only a few minutes' walk from anywhere in the city. In this note, we present the results of a comparative analysis of the pedestrian influence areas of Faro's green spaces, that is, of those areas of the city from which it is possible to access someone urban green spaces through a walking distance of no more than ten minutes. The slope of the city streets was identified by the incorporation of altimetric information from a Digital Terrain Model (DTM), so that we could include the interference of the topography in the walking speed and, consequently, in the pedestrian accessibility of the green spaces. Through spatial analysis, the pedestrian influence areas were identified and compared in terms of the area size, extension and slope of the paths, in addition to the average walking speed. In Faro, there is a concentration of green spaces in the older central districts and the lack of these spaces in the newer neighborhoods, located in the north of the city. In addition to the results found, which are a direct subsidy to Faro urban planning, this study reinforces the importance of the geoprocessing techniques in the integration of natural and human elements, as well as in the elaboration of analyzes applied to urban planning.Keywords - Geoprocessing, Accessibility, Topography, Green spaces, Urban planning

This paper examines how different social, economic, historical and physical conditions coincide in the formation of space and processes of decline in the period of transformation in Poland. The focus lies on a specific residential area in the centre of the Polish city of Gdansk and the question why no improvements have been done in this particular area to stop its successive decline. It is among other things argued that clear urban policy together with improved urban planning and clear legislation on ownership are needed in order to improve conditions in this and other deprived areas of the city.

Purpose of the study: Intelligent Transport System (ITS) is being developed, researched, and built to solve traffic congestion in recent years. Many studies and seminars were organized but the results were still limited and fragmented. To build a smart city with intelligent transport system always starts from the planning work. Methodology: Methods of aggregating and statistical data from the Ministry of Transport to ITS and the overall planning of urban transport; Review and propose optimal solutions for integrated urban planning of ITS. Main Findings: The role of urban transportation and the current status of ITS development planning in urban planning in Vietnam. On that basis, it is necessary to integrate existing master plans into an urban development master plan that covers socio-economic development planning, land use, and urban construction. It is based on the planning of smart and modern urban transport development. Applications of this study: The paper proposes content to integrate ITS planning in urban planning in 4 steps to ensure sustainability and updates. Novelty/Originality of this study: The paper presents an overview of ITS system and ITS planning and its relation to urban planning in which, in addition to the traditional planning content, some new contents of ITS planning need to be integrated to meet for building and managing the city in a new age. This study is to affirm the need for integrating urban development master plans based on intelligent transportation system planning.


The basic principles of the organization of works on improvement of the territories adjacent to objects of transport infrastructure are given, and also actions for improvement of public spaces and improvement of transport and pedestrian accessibility of these objects in Moscow are considered. The purpose of the activities carried out within the framework of the State Program of Moscow "Development of the Transport System" is to ensure comfortable living conditions of the population by developing the transport system sustainable, safe and convenient for all groups of the population. A detailed description of the factors determining the specifics of the NPC "City Development" is given. The process of creating and updating the database, developing maps and presentation materials with the use of materials from this database is shown. The approach to the organization of works on improvement of the territories adjacent to objects of transport developed by experts of NPC "City Development " can have both practical, and educational and methodical application at implementation of similar transport programs and projects.

This article suggests that the domination of the scale of the neighborhood in planning distorts our understanding of urban phenomena and that a multiscalar approach is required. It examines the association of perceived scales with residential satisfaction. The findings suggest that the neighborhood is not the dominant scale with which people perceive and define their residential area, rather they consider smaller than the neighborhood scales. Moreover, we found that the perceived scale is a significant predictor of residential satisfaction. We conclude that scale matters for understanding urban issues, and become even more significant in a time of crisis such as the coronavirus epidemic, and that urban planning should consider and be informed by smaller than the neighborhood scales.

This paper aims to discuss what is the suitable scale of the specialized residential area for aged people. We used the method of combining the qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis, carded and compared the dates of the cognition and communication for the aged people, the walking range for the aged people, the walking range for pension service facilities, property management and relevant standards one by one, got the reasonable scale from two terms that is population scale and land scale. The optimum scale of the specialized residential area for aged people is population scale between 1000 to 2500 people and land area between 4.96 to 12.65 hectares. This data will play a guiding role for the construction and design of the specialized residential area for aged people in the future, and also will provide a reference for the planning and design of old settlements in urban planning.

Statement of the problem. New challenges of our time significantly affect the methodology of urban planning. The development of new principles of city life, regulating the biosphere compatibility of cities and the development of human capital, should be considered an urgent scientific task that requires identifying the patterns of functioning of urban elements of planning structures (residential areas). Results. The paper develops the methodological foundations of urban planning, design and evaluation of design options for residential planning units of the city (quarter, neighborhood, residential area) on the principles of the paradigm of biosphere compatibility of cities and settlements that develop people. A conceptual model of the functional and planning organization of the territory- the hierarchy of city functions - is proposed. An algorithm for evaluating variants of residential area planning projects based on the index of urban function provision has been developed. For each of the functions of the city, the necessary and sufficient composition of indicators for evaluating design decisions is identified. The article discusses the prospect of quantifying the social well-being of the population of residential areas of a biosphere-compatible city as an alternative condition for the formation of a comfortable urban environment.Conclusion. The numerical evaluation of the design solution and a comparative analysis of the level of favorability of a residential neighborhood using the principles of the biosphere compatibility paradigm show what changes are required in the composition of urban planning solutions not only to achieve the quality of the material environment of life, but also human development in all respects.
