Tui Hill is a limestone hill lined south of Padang Panjang, located between Rao-Rao Village to Tanah Hitam. The results of research at Tui Hill at the location S0° 28’ 50.23” E100° 24’ 16.89”- S0° 28’ 49.19” E100° 24’ 17.07” located in Tanah Hitam Village has a covered dolomite rock slope. Based on the Indonesian earthquake zoning map, the city of Padang Panjang is classified as a high earthquake vibration zone, ranging from 0.8-0.9 g. The potential for landslides on the slopes of the study can lead to the closure of the access road to dolomite mining so that it can hamper road user traffic and disrupt mining production as well as potential material losses and fatalities This study aims to determine the Safety Factors on earthquake slope research and recommendations to increase the value of Safety Factors (FK). Based on the results of the analysis by simulating earthquake vibration values the maximum earthquake vibration values that can be held by slopes in a safe condition is 0.2 g or equivalent to 6.4-6.6 on the Richter Scale, namely with FK of 1,281. Then, the author issued for the slope by changing the slope of the slope from 53˚ to 25˚  increases can obtain a slope FK value of 1.438, according to Joseph E. Bowles (1984) the slope is in accordance with the safe conditions.

Limestone Hill

Although one of the smaller and less well-known cities in Thessaly Halos in Achaia Phthiotis has played an important part in history. Tradition attributes its origin to Athamas, and its position guarding the coast route between Othrys and the sea into the Spercheios valley, brought it on several critical occasions into prominence. In 480 B.C. together with the rest of Thessaly it submitted to Xerxes without a struggle, but in 346 B.C. it withstood a long siege by Philip and Parmenio. Some mediaeval and Turkish fortifications on the ancient Greek acropolis show that its strategic importance continued down to the last century. The walls which surrounded the city in the plain and the citadel on the hill to the west can still be traced, but of the city itself nothing is now visible. The acropolis is the last peak of the projecting spur of Othrys, which running down towards the bay of Halmyros shuts off the plain of Sourpe from that of Halmyros. This is now a bare limestone hill covered with scrub, and whatever may exist in the plain is hidden beneath the cultivated fields.

Worldwide, multiple studies have been trying to reduce traffic issues without physically changing the road network, this is when the congestion fees strategy has been considered as a favorable solution for the urban traffic issues. A fundamental condition that needs to be checked before the implementation of the road-pricing scheme is the acceptability of both the political and the public parties. The acceptability is so variable and depends on many features and differs from one individual to another, thus, a survey with a set of variant questions might help to understand the expectations and the worries of the citizens and aim to improve them for better effectiveness of the road-pricing project. This report aims, through analyzing the responses of a distributed survey, to evaluate the acceptability of the citizens of Tunis, Tunisia and Damascus, Syria in order to draw a comparison between the two cities. Moreover, it assesses the degree of acceptability and the variable expectations of the implementation of the congestion fees of the two societies.

Abstract. The purpose of this study is to scrutinize and interpret the damages to masonry buildings after a series of earthquakes that occurred in Van, which is an eastern city of Turkey, within 17 days in 2011, i.e., the first earthquake hit on 23 October having the magnitude 7.1, and the second on 9 November with the magnitude 5.6 on the Richter scale. These consecutive earthquakes and their aftershocks caused extensive damage and the collapse of buildings in the city of Van and its villages and especially its near town, namely Ercis. For the investigation of masonry buildings, Hacibekir district, which is one of the regions comprising the highest density of masonry buildings in the city of Van, was selected and the seismic performance of these buildings was observed, tested in the field, and interpreted according to the Turkish earthquake-resistant design codes. In this region, masonry buildings were classified as adobe, unreinforced and confined masonry buildings. As a result of this field study, it was observed that whereas the confined masonry buildings had usually shown good performance during the earthquakes, the adobe and the unreinforced masonry buildings were seriously damaged and some of them were partially collapsed.

Road User Charging

Transport strategies in Dublin before 1990 were primarily road based with particular emphasis on increasing road space within the city for the car. In the early 1990s, however, the Dublin Transportation Initiative recommended a more innovative strategy, the core of which centered on public transport. Implementation of the strategy is currently under way, but increased economic activity, with associated increases in car ownership and usage, has undermined the potential to address the imbalance between transport demand and supply, particularly in the shorter term. As a result, feasible and reliable public transport alternatives do not currently exist for car users on some radial corridors. The ongoing implementation of bus lanes and an increase in the number of buses should go some way in improving the reliability of the service. It is against this background that road use pricing is considered. The potential user response to road user charging is examined by means of a pilot action project to investigate whether further evaluation of the measure would be justified on a larger sample. The distance-and-time-based time-differentiated pricing method used in the pilot action induced a significant decrease of 22 percent in car trips and a 23 percent reduction in distance traveled during the peak period, reflecting the relatively high road use charges applied in that period. The total distance traveled decreased by 13 percent. The road user charge reflects the marginal external costs of car travel in the peak period in Dublin.

The Surabaya City Government has built a box culvert in the Gunungsari Diversi channel for the Sememi segment to Banjar Sugihan and the Kandangan pump house. The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the operational impact of the Kandangan pump on the Sememi box culvert capacity. Therefore, the Surabaya City Government built the Sememi box culvert as a long storage in the primary channel of the Gunungsari diversion in order to reduce inundation as well as function as a road that can overcome congestion in the area. The Surabaya City Government has also built a Kandangan pump house as an outlet rather than a long storage at the Gunungsari version. The reduction of inundation and congestion can increase the wheels of the economy which have a global impact on cities around Surabaya as well as a smoother access road for the people in West Surabaya to the middle of the city.

Belmore, in the City of Canterbury, is part of the traditional land of the Bediagal people. The area was once covered by a forest of Sydney blue gum, blackbutt, red mahogany and ironbark trees, growing on clay soils derived from Wianamatta shales. Water came from three small creeks, which flowed in a north-easterly direction into Cooks River.The earliest colonial surveyors followed an Aboriginal pathway (which became Punchbowl Road/Milperra Road) which led from Cooks River to Georges River. Before 1810, this pathway became a convenient access road from Sydney through Canterbury Farm, crossing Cooks River at the 'Punch Bowl' ford, and land grants were surveyed along the route. Once over the ford, travellers could turn south on a track, now Burwood Road at Belfield, and pass through country which is today's suburb of Belmore, south-east to King's Grove Farm and the land grants beyond. Canterbury Road was not formed as an access road into Sydney until after the 1830s, and it was not gazetted until 1856.

Banda Aceh is one of the cities located in Aceh and became the capital of Aceh province, Indonesia. As the center of government, Banda Aceh has become the center of all economic activity, political, social and cultural. Aceh province has a tropical climate. It means that in a year consisting of the dry season (March to August) and rainy season (September to February). After the tsunami disaster that happened seven years ago that is exactly on December 26, 2004, the tsunami disaster caused by the earthquake of 9.2 Richter scale in Samudera Indonesia (Indonesia Ocean) thus temperatures continue to rise in Aceh province. This disaster resulted in hundreds of thousands of inhabitants and destroyed more than 60% of the buildings of this city. Tsunami disaster in Aceh cause the temperature in the city of Banda Aceh rises continuously. The tidal waves that devastated the city of Banda Aceh not only destroyed the buildings and a lot of casualties but also damaged the vegetation. Because of the number of damaged and missing vegetation of cover land, the temperature in Banda Aceh and its surrounding has rose. It happens because there is no direct solar radiation barrier and absorption of CO2 by vegetation.Keywords: climate change, before tsunami disaster, after tsunami disaster
