O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar níveis de conforto térmico no centro da cidade de Sorriso/MT, durante as estações seca e chuvosa. Para isso foi utilizado à metodologia do transecto móvel no período noturno que avaliou dois índices de conforto: o Índice de Temperatura e Umidade (ITU) e o Índice de Desconforto Humano (IDH). Os resultados obtidos mostraram que na estação seca ambos os índices tendem ao desconforto para o período, enquanto na estação chuvosa os mesmos apresentaram melhores condições de conforto. A temperatura exerceu a maior correlação com os índices e a maior determinação com os valores do IDH. Concluiu-se que o método adotado conseguiu identificar os níveis de conforto térmico, o que pode contribuir com futuras ações mitigadoras dessa problemática na área investigada.Palavras-chave: urbanização, clima urbano, qualidade de vida. ESTIMATE OF THE THERMAL COMFORT INDEX BY USE OF MOBILE TRANSECT IN THE SORRISO CITY/MT ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to estimate levels of thermal comfort in the city center of Sorriso/MT, during the dry and rainy seasons. For this, we used the mobile transect methodology in the night period that evaluated two comfort indexes: the Temperature and Humidity Index (TUI) and the Human Discomfort Index (HDI). The results showed that in the dry season both indices tend to discomfort for the period, while in the rainy season they presented better comfort conditions. The temperature had the highest correlation with the indices and the highest determination with the HDI values. It was concluded that the adopted method was able to identify the levels of thermal comfort, which may contribute to future mitigating actions of this problem in the researched area.Keywords: urbanization, urban climate, quality of life.

Several scholars have focused on the different approaches in designing convivial urban spaces, but literary evidence shows that the essence of aesthetic design in public urban spaces, by referring to the main dimensions involved in the shaping of urban vitality, has not been adequately researched. In this regard, this study, by hypothesizing that the quality of urban design leads to a vital urban environment, focuses on urban vitality from the aesthetic point of view. Thus, in using qualitative grounded theory as a main methodological tool and using a systematic review of the related literature as the main induction approach for collecting qualitative data, five main dimensions of urban vitality, which are necessary to attain a correlation with the aesthetic quality of urban design, were conceptualized. The study concludes that the aesthetic design of an urban setting has a direct effect on the active involvement of its users and that this, therefore, has a direct consequence on the level of public urban vitality, manifested. Integrating the complexity theory with the five main dimensions used for assessing urban vitality was suggested as a viable area for further research.

The article presents selected methodological assumptions of developing and evaluating landscape attribute maps that could be used in the process of the implementation of the European Landscape Convention (ELC). The Convention led to the passing of the Act of 24th April 2015 on the modification of some acts due to the enhancement of landscape protection tools. Article 7 implements changes in the Act of 23rd March 2003 on spatial planning and land use management. Determining general rules for landscape auditing and defining the priority landscape are elements of the changes. On 11th September 2015, the regulations that partially carry out the recommendation of the Convention entered into force. The regulations oblige local governments to conduct landscape auditing (not less often than every 20 years). The article presents a new method for evaluating the aesthetic-scenic value of landscape (EEVL), developed by the author on the basis of conceptual works done between 2004 and 2008. Tests of this method started in 2008. Then an assessment of the aesthetic value of the municipality of Pozezdrze in the Masurian Lake District was made. The three measurements, collected in 2008, 2012 and 2016, were then used in comparing the dynamics of landscape transformations considering the aesthetic value over 8 years. The research enabled the assessment of the usefulness of the method in landscape auditing.

The paper describes the results of a research activity on the design of a positioning system which includes both a physical 3-DOF and virtual platforms which carries out a Desktop Haptic Interface (DHI). The positioning system allows the user to interact with a virtual shape through a combination of linear and rotation motions, some of them driven by the user and some driven by the virtual shape. On the other hand, by rendering a physical 2D cross-section through the DHI permits the assessment of virtual prototypes of industrial products with aesthetic value. Typically, virtual objects are modified several times before reaching the desired design, increasing the development time and, consequently, the final product cost. The desktop haptic system (which includes the positioning system and the DHI) that we propose here, will reduce the number of physical mockups during the design process allowing designers to perform several phases of the product design process continuously and without any interruption. In particular the system is developed with the aim of supporting designers during the evaluation of the aesthetic quality of a virtual product.

AbstractLittle is known of how vertebrate pest and beneficial species respond to cover crops in vineyards and orchards. During spring 19941 interviewed 22 people who work with cover crops in California and searched for vertebrates and their signs in 36 field plots where cover crops were grown. Farmers usually relaxed concern for vertebrate pests after planting cover crops. But cover crops were thought to increase venebrate damage to trees and vines when planted continuously across the rows or grown in orchards and vineyards less than three years old. Vertebrates usually were not abundant or harmful to the commercial crops and cover crops I examined. Gophers were most abundant in older, uneven, scrappy, or weedy cover crops. They preferred beneficial and insectary blends and Cahaba white vetch, and were least abundant in grasses, subclover mixes, and bur medic. Voles preferred nontillage clover mixes, but avoided bare ground under vine and tree rows. All small mammals were more numerous near streams and recently tilled fields. Cover crops attracted many predatory vertebrates, which improve the aesthetic quality of the farm and might keep animal damage to economically acceptable levels. Cover crops can contribute to wildlife conservation in California, especially if the area in cover crops continues to increase.
