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.

Study Results

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.

Modernisation of apartment houses is a particularly relevant issue both in Lithuania and many other countries. To make it more efficient, the modernisation of apartment houses must be integrated–an entire block or residential area must be renovated and the principles of sustainable development must be followed. This article dwells on the issues related to retrofit planning in residential blocks/areas and analyses the condition of apartment houses and their environment. The article also proposes strategies for retrofit of residential areas with apartment houses. The strategies aim to improve the living standards and the quality of environment, to cut energy consumption and Co2 emissions, to maintain mixed social structure, to integrate new buildings into the existing environment in a sustainable manner, to develop an urban centre of a residential area as a functioning part of the city, to develop democratic planning and to seek close cooperation of modernisation partners. The scenarios based on relevant strategies must define the measures of retrofit, their priority and their potential effect. Santrauka Daugiabučių gyvenamųjų namų modernizavimas šiuo metu yra ypač aktuali problema ne tik Lietuvoje, betir daugelyje kitų šalių. Kad modernizavimas būtų efektyvesnis, daugiabučius reikia atnaujinti kompleksiškai, modernizuojant visą kvartalą, rajoną, vadovaujantis darniosios plėtros principais. Šiame straipsnyje aptariamos gyvenamųjų kvartalų, rajonų atnaujinimo planavimo problemos, analizuojama daugiabučių ir jų aplinkos būklė. Siūlomos daugiabučių rajonų atnaujinimo strategijos, kuriomis siekiama: gerinti gyvenimo standartus ir aplinkos kokybę, mažinti energijos suvartojimą ir CO2 emisiją, išlaikyti mišrią socialinę struktūrą, darnų naujų pastatų integravimą į jau egzistuojančią aplinką, plėtoti miesto centro kaip funkcionalios miesto dalies daugiabučių namų rajone sukūrimą, demokratinį planavimą bei prie modernizavimo prisidedančių partnerių glaudų bendradarbiavimą. Scenarijai, grindžiami atitinkamomis strategijomis, privalo apibrėžti renovacijos darbų priemones, jų įgyvendinimo prioretiškumą ir būsimus poveikius.

One of the residential areas that have a densely populated settlement is Pelambuan Village, West Banjarmasin. Pelambuan Village is a slum area with medium and low categories. Rapid population growth also affects the growth of illegal residential buildings on land that is not privately owned. From several settlement conditions formed in Pelambuan Village, it is necessary to analyze residential buildings and settlement areas formed based on three physical aspects: building, environmental, and legal aspects. This study aimed to determine the factors that affect habitability and degradation of environmental quality and perform analysis to determine a treatment plan that needs to be taken for occupancy and problematic areas occupancy can meet the requirements habitability. Analysis and distribution of questionnaires provided several factors that affect the decline in the quality of habitability of buildings and residential areas. From the building aspect, it was found that what caused the residential building to be declared quite feasible with repairs was the condition of the building, which was quite good. However, it needed repairs to several building components, and on the environmental aspect, the factors that made the Pelambuan residential area decreased in quality were the irregularity of the building and inadequate infrastructure. In legality, the problem factor is buildings that stand illegally on the company and government land. Research results are given based on aspects that include, for the building aspect is the addition, repair, and change of the appearance of the building. It is planned to repair, procure, and replace parts of roads in the environmental aspect. It is planned to tighten supervision on licensing and supervision of building construction.

Territory planning instructions of residential areas (quarters) are analyzed in this article. In Lithuania there is no validated united normative database for territory planning, which could regulate renovation of residential quarters. Accordingly, it is an actual problem. Modernization of blocks of flats is widely analyzed and it causes a lot of discussions recently. Modernization could be fulfilled more efficiently in quarters or even residential areas. Consequently, territorial spatial planning of areas (quarters) is very important. This article covers analysis of terms of a residential area and a quarter, building intensity and building density, functional zones, regulations of territory management and use, greenery, social infrastructure. Also a quality of life, depreciation of buildings and a priority of renovation of residential areas is examined.

Lichens are organisms widely used as bioindicators of air quality. Due to the sensitivity of these organisms to atmospheric pollutants, in highly polluted environments, only the most resistant species predominate or even become extinct. In this work, the concentration of lichens on trees in the city of Paranaguá was evaluated to compare the air quality of the port and commercial area with the air quality of the residential region. We evaluated ninety trees distributed throughout the city, where we observed that both the concentration of lichens and the variety of species are higher in residential areas than in port areas, probably due to the better air quality in the residential area of Paranaguá.
