Род Acer L. ценен в садово-парковом строительстве для солитерных посадок в парках, на бульварах и аллеях, в массивах, что является, несомненно, актуальным вопросом в условиях засушливой степи. Самое благоприятное сочетание природных компонентов наблюдается в парковых зонах. Лучшие показатели природной комфортности в парках города Ростова-на-Дону отмечены в ПК и О имени В. Черевичкина, имени Октябрьской Революции, имени 1 Мая, Александровский сад (г. Новочеркасск), ПК и О имени Ленина (г. Батайск). Основные дискомфортные условия связаны с зонами загрязнения природной окружающей среды и приходятся на дороги и транспортные магистрали. В г. Ростове-на-Дону – ул. Большая Садовая, в г. Новочеркасске - пр-ты Ермака и Баклановский. В связи с высокой транспортной загруженностью, произрастающие вдоль вышеперечисленных улиц и проспектов Acer pseudoplatanus L. и Acer platanoides L., имеют самый низкий уровень комфортности. В ландшафтной архитектуре важную роль играет декоративная долговечность – сохранность декоративного признака в течение длительного периода времени. За декоративный признак, чаще всего, принимается естественная форма кроны. С возрастом Acer L. не одинаково сохраняют декоративную долговечность формы кроны. По результатам наблюдений A. platanoides L. и A. pseudoplatanus L. при отсутствии затенения сохраняют естественную форму кроны до 50 - 60 лет. Они отнесены к 1 группе декоративной долговечности. A. saccharinum L. хорошо сохраняет форму кроны более 30 лет и отнесен ко 2 группе декоративной долговечности. Species of the genus Acer L. are valued in garden and Park construction, for single planting in parks and on boulevards, in massifs, as well as for creating shady alleys, which is undoubtedly a topical issue in arid steppe conditions. The most favorable combination of natural components is observed in Park areas. The best indicators of natural comfort in the parks of the city of Rostov-on-don are noted in the PC and O im. Revolution, may 1, im. Viti cherevichkina, in the city of Bataysk in PC and O im. Lenin, in the city of Novocherkassk-Alexander garden. Uncomfortable conditions are associated with areas of pollution of the natural environment. These are mainly roads and transport interchanges. Bolshaya Sadovaya street (Rostov-on-don), Yermak Ave. and Baklanovsky Ave. (Novocherkassk), where Acer pseudoplatanus L. and Acer platanoides L. grow according to our research, have the lowest level of comfort, due to high traffic congestion. In landscape architecture, decorative durability plays an important role – the preservation of a decorative feature for a long period of time. The natural shape of the crown is taken as such a sign. Maples do not equally retain such a basic decorative feature as the shape of the crown with age. Acer platanoidesL. and Acer pseudoplatanus L. according to the results of observations retain the natural shape of the crown in the absence of shading for up to 50-60 years and are assigned to the 1 group of decorative durability. Silver maple retains the shape of the crown well for more than 30 years, so it is assigned to the 2 group of decorative durability.

Aim of the project is to reduce the traffic congestion at a particular location in peak hours with the help of Google maps. Google maps, one of the widely used user-friendly app which helps an individual to give an alert of traffic congestion in that particular location in which she is actually going. As a result of this, Google maps will suggest an individual to take an alternative route, as the major route is highly affected by traffic jam. This alternative route suggested by Google maps is a faster route without traffic and help to reach an individual to her destination on time without much delay. For an individual, from different places doesn’t have any clue about the city and at which   locations do traffic exists and continue to persist over a long period of time.

The rapid development of information and technology, the city of Bandung tourism has also increased. However, tourists who visit the city of Bandung have problems with a limited time when visiting Bandung tourist attractions. Traffic congestion, distance, and the number of tourist destinations are the problems for tourists travel. The optimal route selection is the solution for those problems. Congestion and distance data are processed using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. Route selection uses the Floyd-Warshall Algorithm. In this study, the selection of the best route gets the smallest weight with a value of 5.127 from the Algorithm process. Based on testing, from two to five tourist attractions get an average calculation time of 3 to 5 seconds. This application is expected to provide optimal solutions for tourists in the selection of tourist travel routes.

The City

A city is a complex system that never sleeps; it constantly changes, and its internal mobility (people, vehicles, goods, information, etc.) continues to accelerate and intensify. These changes and mobility vary in terms of the attributes of the city, such as space, time and cultural affiliation, which characterise to some extent how the city functions. Traditional urban studies have successfully modelled the ‘low-frequency city’ and have provided solutions such as urban planning and highway design for long-term urban development. Nevertheless, the existing urban studies and theories are insufficient to model the dynamics of a city’s intense mobility and rapid changes, so they cannot tackle short-term urban problems such as traffic congestion, real-time transport scheduling and resource management. The advent of information and communication technology and big data presents opportunities to model cities with unprecedented resolution. Since 2018, a paradigm shift from modelling the ‘low-frequency city’ to the so-called ‘high-frequency city’ has been introduced, but hardly any research investigated methods to estimate a city’s frequency. This work aims to propose a framework for the identification and analysis of indicators to model and better understand the concept of a high-frequency city in a systematic manner. The methodology for this work was based on a content analysis-based review, taking into account specific criteria to ensure the selection of indicator sets that are consistent with the concept of the frequency of cities. Twenty-two indicators in five groups were selected as indicators for a high-frequency city, and a framework was proposed to assess frequency at both the intra-city and inter-city levels. This work would serve as a pilot study to further illuminate the ways that urban policy and operations can be adjusted to improve the quality of city life in the context of a smart city.

<p>Cycling is a memory of the past for most of us, the lack of support from the authorities on the cycling infrastructure made it difficult to attract people to cycle in the city. Urban sprawl, traffic congestion, car dependency, environmental pollution and public health concerns have pressured cities around the world to consider reintegrating cycling into the urban environment.  Design as a research method was utilised to investigate the effectiveness of design methodology and workflow for cycling infrastructure from an architecture and design perspective. Using Wellington City as a design case study, this research aimed to improve the legibility, usability and the image of cycling as a mode of transport in the city. To achieve this, a customisable graphical design framework and branding strategies were developed to structure and organise the design components within cycling infrastructure. The findings from the iterative design processes were visualised through the appropriate architectural and presentation conventions.  This research provided an unique architectural perspectives on the issues of cycling infrastructure; the results would support the transportation advisers and urban planners to further the development and integration of cycling, as a viable mode of transport, within the city.</p>

The roads and gates described in the previous section are of very varied dates, and many of them were in use over a long period. They have been described first because they constitute the essential framework for any serious topographical study of Veii. Within this framework the city developed, and in this and the following sections will be found described, period by period, the evidence for that development, from the first establishment of Veii in Villanovan times down to its final abandonment in late antiquity.Whatever the precise relationship of the Villanovan to the succeeding phases of the Early Iron Age in central Italy in terms of politics, race or language, it is abundantly clear that it was within the Villanovan period that the main lines of the social and topographical framework of historical Etruria first took shape. Veii is no exception. Apart from sporadic material that may have been dropped by Neolithic or Bronze Age hunters, there is nothing from the Ager Veientanus to suggest that it was the scene of any substantial settlement before the occupation of Veii itself by groups of Early Iron Age farmers, a part of whose material equipment relates them unequivocally to the Villanovan peoples of coastal and central Etruria.

The pop-up architecture (or landscape architecture) becomes popular nowadays. Some highlights include annual architecture program such as the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion at Hyde Park, London; MPavilion in Melbourne; MoMA PS1 and Heart Sculpture in New York. Many of these pop-up architectural works have been designed by world renowned architects, such as Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhaas, Hezorg and de Meuron, Jean Nouvel, Toyo Ito, SANAA, Shigeru Ban, BIG, etc. And many of these designs reflect innovative thinking that changes the professional world of architectural design. But above all, these pop-up architectures were created in responsive manner to the urban community and the community controversially has good response to this type of architecture. In the other words, pop-up architecture is the way the architects touch the heartbeat of the cities, make them livable for all. Ho Chi Minh City has its own types of pop-up landscape architecture, whereas this paper intends to explore in two case studies: Nguyen Hue Floral Boulevard and Nguyen Van Binh Book Street. Nguyen Hue Floral Street is celebrating now its twelfth birthday in the city. Nguyen Van Binh Book Street has just passed its first anniversary in 2017. Both cases live its own story behind the scene about how livable a city could be through place-making by architecture and landscape design. Throughout these cases, we would like to find out how this type of pop-up landscape architecture being realized and become popular in Ho Chi Minh City, and how it is devoted to a livable city for all.

Leaving The Parental Home

Abstract The purpose of this study was to understand the articulation of dialogues during the emerging adult's leaving home process including the problematization and tensions involved. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 10 middle-class young adults, aged 26 to 36, who still lived with their parents in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Several categories emerged from the content analysis, among which three are presented in this article: apprehension concerning the relational space, agreements and negotiations, and the perceptions of leaving the parental home. It was verified that leaving the parental home is a dynamic process negotiated between family members. It became evident that the gains and losses from living together for a long period of time are part of an ambivalent relational environment. The time necessary for the development of parent-children relationship cannot be determined chronologically since it is the time necessary for the subjects to understand themselves at a relational level.

This article presents the results of a Project process held in the under-spaces of two viaducts in the Laranjeiras district in the city of Rio de Janeiro. This process is part of a community-university partnership project, the “Square, the Street and the District”, which has been developed by students and professors of different fields and courses. This project aims to emphasize the relevance of interventions in the cities are made by a direct mode of popular participation, both in the elaboration and in the implementation of landscape architecture and urban proposals. A collaborative process was shaped to embody the notion that there is a “local knowledge, which is nurtured by the daily life”, as Milton Santos (1997, p.7) argues. Here, we narrate the methodological construction and the process of design experience in this case at the Laranjeiras.district. With this, we expect to demonstrate how the design and building of the city can be developed thorough participative and collaborative processes. The existence of an assembled and well informed project can be an environment to foster discussion so that more just and appropriate solutions may get forge.
