The article presents the profile of the city of Campina Grande, Brazil, from the perspective of the Space Syntax of the Theory of Social Logic of Space. In the methodology adopted, we used the model that starts from the Road Centre Line (RCL) map elaboration, which served as a basis for obtaining the Angular Segment Analysis, via Depthmapand QGIS software, generating the syntactic measures presented in the results. The objectives proposed in this study were achieved, for the results show that in the city there are spaces with organic and planned characteristics, which reflect socio-cultural aspects of occupation and settlement of the area along its predominantly heterogeneous formation. As for the urban form, there is a configuration composed of an integrating nucleus, located in the urban center; as for the scores presented, there are average values of NAIN (1.007), NACH (0.911) and INCH (12,213) measures, in which 48% with 40%, 54% and 48%, respectively, of the neighborhoods with average scores higher than the index presented by the city's configurational analysis. Most of the territory presents values above the average values for the city and for the Brazilian territory. Thus, it is concluded that the central regions seem to present, according to the data obtained, a more favorable configuration for mobility and accessibility, having in the peripheral neighborhoods segregationist aspects that can explain the restriction of movement of individuals regarding the access of goods and services in the city.

In Tanah Grogot district, precisely on the KM 6 road which is the city boundary roads of Tanah Grogot City-Lolo Kuaro it has an important role as the only access for road users. Because at the side of the roads does not have a drainage channel, resulting in water overflowing and the seepage flowed on the surface, causing a landslide. The length of the landslides is 50 meters, with a width of 5.5 meters and the highest height is 9.6 meters. The result of this landslide is very disturbing for the road users. The delivery of goods and services can not be accommodated properly. Therefore, it is expected that this path must be handled properly, so the road can be functioning again safely and comfortably. How to handle this problem is by making a design of retaining walls construction which is safe in form of sheet pile.The planning for this anchored sheet pile begins with analyzing the secondary data in form of data sondir, laboratory data, and topographic measurement data. This then followed by the calculation of the forces acting on the sheet pile, the calculation of moments in the sheet pile, the calculation of the carrying capacity of the pile on the anchor, capacity calculations for the mast against a lateral load, and the slope stability analysis using GeoStudio2007 application. After that designing the sheet pile construction, tierod, the pile, planning the budget, and makes the Detail Engineering Design (DED).From the planning, the profile of concrete sheet pile obtained is CCSP W-500-A-1000 with a total length of the sheet pile is 12.2 meters. On tierod using dimensions of 6.32 m long with a diameter of 5 cm. On the pile is using a steel pipe with a diameter of 40 cm which penetrated into 10 m depth. For the stability of the slope with the reinforcement of piles obtained SF = 5.5> 1.25, which can be said as safe.Keywords:  designing sheet pile, anchored sheet pile, steel pipe piles.

China is seeking to prohibit the construction of any new gated communities and to gradually open existing schemes after three decades of growth of large-block gated estates. In this article, we use permeability analysis to explore the ‘what if?’ question posed by the policy: what if gated communities became permeable? We ask the question in respect of non-motorised access. We use two permeability metrics, closeness and betweenness, as outcome measures of gated and non-gated versions of the city. We construct a bespoke complete pedestrian network, rather than using the road network, for our permeability modelling. Nanchang, a medium-sized Chinese city with widespread gated communities, is our study area. A series of permeability analyses with and without gated communities is conducted using GIS and spatial design network analysis (sDNA). On the basis of these analyses, we sequentially sort the gated compounds whose opening will maximise permeability gains with minimum expropriation of property rights through coercive ungating. We offer the analysis to urban scholars, planners and governments by way of a quantified simulation. This study and methodology, which is transferable without high data requirements, can assist urban practitioners in reconfiguring urban form to promote a healthier living environment (more walking) and more economically viable local service centres (greater pedestrian footfall concentrations).

The will of Modernity to define and decide the urban form has been truncated by an endless succession of conditions related to land ownership and the many ways of justifying compliance with all kinds of rules that elude the question about form. The consequence is that they provoke a distortion of reality by blurring the entity of the city and its position in front of history.In this sense, the drift and banalization of urbanism has been directed by the bureaucratic criteria of an administration that, with or without technical knowledge, makes decisions that impact on the urban form but without acquiring commitment or responsibility towards it. The urban form is at the mercy of the local building legislation, of the road or the shape of the plots susceptible or not to be built. Irremediably, the resulting urban form, achieved both in an active and passive way, evidences the error of the procedure because it reveals an operational ignorance of the context, of history, or simply of the faith in progress.From the shelter of thought that represents the discipline of urbanism we introduce a series of urban solutions for the city of Alcoy that correspond to a possible urban proposal bounded in the time of the XXI century. This study aims to have a view of the urban form and urbanist order for the city of Alcoy and its territory under the premises of understanding both the inherited city and the needs of the new generations committed to a possible future

The road that is located in the City of Satui is a road that connects cities that are large in the South Kalimantan, the road is often used by mining trucks. From these conditions, there will be a high movement of people, goods, and services. For this reason, it is necessary to conduct a review to determine the performance of the road.The location in this study is on A.Yani Street, City of Satui, South Kalimantan. On this road, there is a part of the road that has a median and does not have a median. Data collected from the results of traffic surveys are primary data which includes geometric data, traffic volume data, and traffic speed data. Secondary data which includes an overview of the study area. The data obtained are then grouped according to the composition of the vehicle. Then the data is made into hourly traffic data to get volume, speed, and density. The data obtained was analyzed to obtain capacity, the appropriate relationship model, and performance changes between roads.The results of data analysis on A.Yani Street, City of Satui are the maximum volumes obtained on the road with a median of 468,75 amp/hour while those on the road without the median are 421,51 amp/hour. The maximum density obtained on the road with a median of 133,67 SMP/km while on the road without a median of 55,86 SMP/km.

Abstract In order to broaden the discussion on the safety of bicycle transport, this paper uses the analytical capacity of the spatial syntax applied to the recording of accidents involving cyclists in the city of Rolândia-PR, located in the Southern Region of Brazil. With the availability of 535 reports of trips made by bicycle mode, collected in the survey origin and destination of the city, a database was elaborated where each segment of the road received its numerical value from the loading of trips, and its corresponding values of choice and integration, generated in the Depthmap software. As a result, the relationship between the point of accident and the trip record by bicycle was refuted. In contrast, the angular values of choice and integration were sufficient to explain the occurrence of accidents involving cyclists in each segment of the municipal urban network, statistically proven through the generation of a generalized linear model. The contribution of this study focuses on the validity of using spatial syntax to predict safer routes, which is considered a theoretical-methodological approach that identifies priority routes for the implementation of specific infrastructure for bicycle transport.

It is a consensus to recognize the population's accessibility difficulties to the available urban services. When referring to rural areas, accessibility becomes even more difficult. This article aims to analyze the accessibility of the residents of the rural district of Cipolândia, located in the municipality of Aquidauana/Mato Grosso do Sul State, to urban services available in the regional urban network. Performing a descriptive, qualitative, and quantitative research, supported by bibliographic and documentary research in addition to field research through direct observation and forms application. As a result, it is noteworthy that the district headquarters, although in the performance of the most basic urban functions, has equipment and services that provide the first contact of its residents with the regional urban network, yet with striking limitations. The city of Aquidauana is the main urban center for access to the urban network, thus having a greater influence on the residents of the Cipolândia district, especially for the satisfaction of more basic goods and services such as shopping and banking services. However, when the search is related to services that require greater specialization, the Regional Capital, Campo Grande, is the one that exerts the greatest influence, attracting most of the displacements. In general, access to the urban network is facilitated towards the city of Aquidauana, due to the good conditions of the MS-345 highway, whereas to access Campo Grande, the road system presents worse traffic conditions.

This study presents a method to model population growth of spatial units by incorporating measures of road network centrality instead of conventional statistical models of population growth. The proposed model enables the estimation of population growth based on the changes in the urban form represent by the changes in the road network and their centralities. The model has been calibrated and validated for the city of Colombo, Sri Lanka. The proposed model for simulating population growth rate by utilizing Closeness Centrality values and the rate of natural population growth as endogenous variables recorded an accepted level of predictability (R2= 0.87 and MdAPE < 10%). The method demonstrated in this research is an effective tool for understanding and directing the efficient allocation of intelligent road network infrastructure, urban planning and population modeling.

Due to the advance of computer science, we now have more powerful tools to digitize and analyze the complex system of urban form, which was difficult for describing and exploring previously. Space syntax theory and method is one of these tools which can help to clarify the social logic of space quantitatively. By this tool, this study examined the urban transformation process of the London area of Soho in the last 100 years, aiming at articulating the intriguing form and function relationship. This study proposed that although the spatial change and social change are in different speed, their changing process still intertwined and interacted with each other.

Gelendzhik is the resort town, there aren't a lot of industrial enterprises here. The main pollutant is transport. The work purpose is the assessment of a condition of the artificial landings of a pine located along the Federal highway "Don" and landings, which is nearly the sea coast. Researches were conducted to a standard technique of the General vital state (A. S. Bogolyubov). The assessment of a condition of pines was carried out during 6 years: from 2010 to 2015. For carrying out research we used 6 experimental grounds on the Markotkhsky spine and 2 control grounds within the town. We investigated 24 trees on each platform, middle age of the trees were 30 - 40 years. Results. 1. The condition of trees in the pine forests located in immediate proximity with the Federal highway "Don" (No. 1, 2, 3) is unsatisfactory. As even weak influences of the majority of atmospheric gaseous pollutants (sulphurous gas, nitrogen oxides, etc.) give effect of a necrosis and hloroz of pine needles, the condition of pines is connected with technogenic pollution. So near the Federal highway "Don" the air environment is strongly polluted by exhaust gases. Information of 2012 confirm that negative influence of the route on Markotkh's vegetation decreases at reduction of load of the route. 2. On the sites located above on a slope (No. 4,5,6) thanks to remoteness and the wind mode intensity of influence of pollutants is lower and a condition of pines the quite satisfactory. 3. Trees on the sites located near the sea (No. 7,8) are in a good shape. Small deterioration of a state is noted in very droughty years. Conclusion. Results of six years' research show that the condition of the plantings which are in close proximity with the road worsens. It is explained by increase in intensity of the movement on the road, especially during a resort season. Gelendzhik is the city with a good ecological shape, but the damage to environment is already caused. If not to take measures, we can lose a unique part of the nature in the future, recreate it will be impossible. Measures of reduction of negative impact of exhaust gases were offered. Results of researches are transferred to ecological department of the City administration of Gelendzhik.

Oedipus At Colonus

Retracing in his novel the labyrinthine journey that leads Oedipus from the place of his abomination (Thebes) to the city of his future glory (Colonus), Henry Bauchau fills the emptiness between Sophocles’s Oedipus the King and Oedipus at Colonus. Bauchau’s hero, a powerful king, loses everything and stabs his eyes out when the cruel truth about his real identity is revealed. Blind, homeless, devoid of meaning of life, Oedipus leaves on a journey to pass away anywhere. However, his way to death turns out to be, thanks to benevolent presence of others and art’s liberating power, the road to personal elucidation. The story of Bauchau’s Oedipus, who finally recognizes himself as a truly human, is based therefore on the passage between absence and presence, between darkness and lucidity, on the union of contradictions which symbolize the complexity of human nature. This paper attempts to analyse different representations of absence in Bauchau’s novel. Afterwards, the article focuses on the ways which facilitate Oedipus’s road leading from depersonalization to rediscovery of his own identity.
