And Control

Planning mechanism such as development plan and planning control are consider to be some of the contributing factors in achieving successful housing development mainly in urban areas. However, the effectiveness of housing planning and control is still questionable especially when there are matters related to housing oversupply, a housing shortage, and housing quality. The objective of this paper is to outline the perception of housing planning and control among stakeholders on three elements; housing policies, development strategies and procedures for housing planning applications. The analysis indicate that the effectiveness of these elements being implemented could ensure successful future housing development.2398-4295 © 2016. The Authors.

The Impact

Land use planning is a contributing factor in achieving better housing development in urban areas. However, the ineffectiveness during the preparation of development plans and its implementation through development control has given the impact on housing development. This paper presents a study on the effectiveness of housing planning and control activities. The best approaches to assisting its effectiveness among decision-makers and implementers in housing development were revealed. Thus, the study employs a qualitative method through in-depth interviews conducted among town planners. The study discovered the most important aspects are the availability of data in improving housing planning and control.

The current planning mechanisms which are development plan and planning control were recognised as important tools in housing planning process. However, the weaknesses involved in the preparation of development plans and its implementation through development control may impose constraints on housing development. The objective of this paper is to evaluate whether the housing planning and control activities practiced require improvement in terms of the level of effectiveness of its implementation by the LPAs and PCs in Selangor using Quadrant Analysis. It was found that three activities; location, compliance and difficulties need high attention to achieve effective housing planning control. © 2016. The Authors.

The weaknesses and ineffectiveness of the planning mechanism involved in the preparation of development plans and its implementation through development control have significantly given impact to the housing production process. The objective of this paper is to explore strategies for facilitating the effectiveness of the implementation of housing planning and control among decision makers and implementers in housing development. This in-depth interview is aimed to explore their strategies or plan of actions for ensuring the effectiveness of planning activities. It was found that the strategies can be classified into two stages; the preparation stage and implementation stage.Keywords: Development Plan; Planning Control; Urban Housing Development eISSN 2398-4295 © 2018.

AbstractInnovative tools for modeling infectious agents are essential for better understanding disease spread given the inherent complexity of changing and interacting ecological, environmental, and demographic factors. We leveraged fine-scale satellite data on urban areas to build a road-connected geospatial network upon which to model disease spread. This model was tested by simulating the spread of the 2009 pandemic influenza in Rwanda and also used to determine the effects of vaccination regimens on outbreak spread and impact. Our results were comparable to data collected during the actual pandemic in Rwanda, determining the initial places affected after outbreak introduction in Kigali. They also highlighted the effectiveness of preventing outbreaks by targeting mitigation efforts at points of outbreak origin. This modeling approach can be valuable for planning and control purposes in real-time disease situations, providing helpful baseline scenarios during initial phases of outbreaks, and can be applied to other infectious diseases where high population mobility promotes rapid disease propagation.

The seventh goal of the MDGs is to ensure environmental sustainability which includes as its targets: increasing access to new technologies to support sustainable development by making information about sustainable practices more widespread, and bringing new technologies to rural areas such that people will be able to have better access to information and employment without having to migrate to urban areas; these would without doubt help to system the flow of rural-urban migration and as well stem the growth of slums. Good quality housing as a basic need is lacking for a sizeable number of people around the globe but seem most severe in developing economies including Nigeria. Also few houses are available, especially in the urban centers, to the ever increasing number of workers in both formal and informal sectors. The debates on the direction of housing and welfare policy have often been guided by assumptions derived from a preponderance of Anglo-American cases and perspectives. The purpose of this study is to present an alternative approach to housing policies especially in Nigeria; and we have come to the inescapable conclusion that housing is a social responsibility which cannot be left to the free play of market forces. This study therefore recommends the need to strengthen institutions and overhaul systems and processes for a more virile housing sector such that a balance between the urban housing units and the rural housing units could be attained.

Interest in autonomous vehicles (AVs) has significantly increased in recent years, but despite the huge research efforts carried out in the field of intelligent transportation systems (ITSs), several technological challenges must still be addressed before AVs can be extensively deployed in any environment. In this context, one of the key technological enablers is represented by the motion-planning and control system, with the aim of guaranteeing the occupants comfort and safety. In this paper, a trajectory-planning and control algorithm is developed based on a Model Predictive Control (MPC) approach that is able to work in different road scenarios (such as urban areas and motorways). This MPC is designed considering imitation-learning from a specific dataset (from real-world overtaking maneuver data), with the aim of getting human-like behavior. The algorithm is used to generate optimal trajectories and control the vehicle dynamics. Simulations and Hardware-In-the-Loop tests are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness and computation efficiency of the proposed approach.

Development Policies

Ho Chi Minh City is considered as one of the most developed economic and financial centers of Viet Nam. In addition to the achievements, the city's development has also put considerable pressure on addressing housing needs for the residents. In recent years, the demand for social housing for low-income people in developed cities has accounted for a high proportion, up to 60% of the total. Although the city government has been had many policies to encourage investers to participate in social housing projects and provide financial support for home buyers, the results are still quite limited. Currently, real estate projects are generally focused on commercial housing projects due to high profitability and fast capital recovery time; together with the house prices in urban areas are constantly increasing and many times higher than the average income of the residents. The above factors have put great pressure on urban housing development to ensure basic rights to accommodation of the people. The article summarizes the current situation of social housing development policies in Ho Chi Minh City from 2006 to present; assess achievements and shortcomings; thereby proposing solutions to help improve the effectiveness of social housing development policies in urban areas.
