The article considers the developed model of the closed-cycle economy, which, along with economic parameters, takes into account pollution and consumption of building materials suitable for recycling. The model reflects the idea that the economic growth of a society alone cannot maintain or improve the existing quality of the environment, and for this it is necessary to increase the recycling rate. The purpose of the study is to reveal the factors influencing the increase in the level of recycling when introducing efficient and environmentally friendly systems for managing construction waste in megacities. The results of the study will affect the improvement of the quality and standards of life of the city population, the creation of favorable conditions for a safe, healthy and the prosperous life of people while ensuring the economic growth of the city. The process of the managing the growing volume of construction waste is reflected, recycling is emphasized.

Existence of social groups with different socio-economic status is a common character in a city and makes cities to form residentially varied areas within the city which is generally termed as ‘residential differentiation’. Since residential differentiation sometimes becomes a critical issue to be addressed it should be understood as much as possible before planning and organizing the urban space in optimal manner. This study attempts to investigate spatial expression of occupational structure of Kandy city, Sri Lanka. Attention is given for identifying, measuring and mapping the existing location pattern of occupational groups over the urban space of Kandy city. Occupation data in Kandy city collected from national census of population and housing in 2001 were used and Location Quotient technique (LQ) was employed to analyze the data.Results evidently revealed that ‘occupation’ is influential to form a distinct location pattern in the city space. Basic pattern of location of occupation groups identifiable is that higher ranking occupation groups are concentrated in peripheral areas while lower ranking occupation groups are located in city canter areas or proximity areas to the city Center. This has made some particular areas to be specialized for some occupation groups. Working class or labourer category which has the highest proportion is mostly limited to city center and adjoining areas where commercial and other services are dominated. These areas are highly commercial and mix residential areas in the city and are very valuable lands that can be used for the better economic use establishing new projects. This is one of critical issues to be addressed in future development of the city.

Empirical Condition

The public area of the city in general is currently experiencing rapid development due to economic growth and the influence of globalization. The public space is formed based on economic, social, political cultural interests, as well as developments and changes that occur in the current public space, making it limited and cannot be accessed optimally by the wider community. This is caused by the hierarchy of public spaces that are formed based on the functions that surround them. The purpose of this study is to reveal the phenomenon of public hierarchy in urban space in the context of its changes. This research is descriptive-analytical and based on theoretical and empirical elaboration. This approach is used to read public spaces in urban areas to get a reference for the interpretation of theoretical relationships from an empirical condition.

Active Interaction

Security at the city level is the security aspect that is only beginning to be recognized by Ukrainian society, although in many cities around the world, creating a secure urban space is a well-established practice or a strategic goal. A safe city includes many indicators, including infrastructure security, personal and cybersecurity, the level of crime in the city, citizens' assessment of residential areas in terms of their safety, etc., so they usually distinguish between actual and imaginary security. The role of the authorities and local governments is to provide material living conditions for the city - lighting, normal roads, repair of emergency buildings, reduction of vehicles and the priority of cyclists and pedestrians. The role of the community is indifference, the desire to create a safe atmosphere, interaction with the police through information and cooperation, through prevention. The global index of safe cities is compiled and based on an assessment of various factors that determine security. In Ukraine, a safe city is understood mainly as a city illuminated and saturated with surveillance cameras, which, surely influence its creation, but a safe city isn’t created only by the police or authorities, but includes active interaction of city authorities, police, city community. Each of these actors has a field of responsibility, but the result of their cooperation is the creation of a safe and comfortable city. The country is just beginning to involve programs aimed at intensifying cooperation between the city's actors, including "Community Police", "Neighborhood Guard", "Safe City", which have proven their effectiveness in the world. Citizens themselves and their actions naturally create an atmosphere of security on the street. In addition to actual security, another perspective of a secure city is perceived security, which is the feeling of security on a subjective level. The point is that certain places in the city can cause fear: some estranged areas, residential areas, industrial areas, any dark places and so on. Nationwide surveys recorded the level of citizens’ security and identified the most dangerous and safest regional centers.

<p class="CorpodoresumoIVCBM">A construção civil tem sido considerada uma das mais importantes atividades para o desenvolvimento da sociedade, porém é uma atividade que causa impactos ambientais, pois utiliza recursos naturais, modifica o meio ambiente e gera um grande volume de resíduos. Nota-se que as atividades ligadas à construção civil no município de Mossoró-RN, são responsáveis por gerar uma quantidade considerável de resíduos de construção civil (RCC), que na maioria das vezes, são depositados em locais irregulares, por não haver na cidade um local específico para esse fim. Esses resíduos constituem um grave problema, tanto para o meio ambiente quanto para qualidade de vida da população. A pesquisa foi realizada com o objetivo de mapear áreas de depósito irregular de resíduos provenientes da construção civil na cidade de Mossoró-RN. Foi realizada a demarcação dos pontos de acordo com a localização do despejo dos resíduos, com a finalidade de identificar e indicar sua localização dentro da zona urbana de Mossoró-RN. No presente estudo, foi possível identificar 11 pontos de deposição irregular de resíduos provenientes da construção civil, espalhados em diferentes locais da cidade, alguns situando-se próximo de áreas residenciais, o que caracteriza sérios riscos à saúde pública, e outros dispostos próximos de cursos d’água, o que provoca degradação do meio ambiente.</p><p class="western" align="center"><strong><em>Mapping of irregular dumping of solid waste from construction industry at Mossoró-RN, Brazil</em></strong><em></em></p><p><strong>Abstract: </strong>Construction industry has been considered one of the most important activities regarding to society development, however it causes environmental impacts, because it uses natural resources, modifies the environment and generate a huge amount of waste. It was observed that in Mossoró, RN, Brazil, a large amount of construction waste is often deposed in unauthorized sites because the municipality does not provide a specific site for this purpose. Such waste is a serious problem for the environment and for the people’s quality of living. In this context a research was carried out with the objective of mapping sites of non authorized deposition of construction waste in the city of Mossoró, RN, Brazil. With this intent, points were georeferenced according to the location of deposition of waste, with the objective of identifying and indicating its location inside the urban zone of the city. At the end of the study were identified eleven sites of unauthorized deposition of construction waste, all over the city, some of which were located near residential areas, what poses a serious hazard to public health, while other sites were near water streams, what promote environmental degradation.</p>

The method of assessing the impact of factors of diff erent nature on the components of the city’s living environment that determine favorable living conditions and the well-being of the population is considered. It is statistically established that the variety of factors should be taken into account when assessing and normalizing the combination of multifactorial impacts on demographic and social processes occurring in the urban environment. Combinations of the most signifi cant interacting factors and statistical models based on them can be taken into account when predicting the level of morbidity, the dynamics of migration processes, the family well-being of the population, and others. The developed models and assessment methodology can serve as a tool to support management decision-making to ensure a high level of quality of life of the population and urban development of residential areas.

The cultural tourism industry, which has subtly met the needs and solved the major problem of the current age, is a new growth point for the current city economic growth. Therefore, its position in the industrial structure system will be increasingly improved. The development of the cultural tourism industry also provides an important opportunity for the renewal and re-engineering of urban space. For the current urban space construction crisis needs the integration of historical and cultural elements urgently while the development of the cultural tourism industry itself happened to need the city to provide the necessary carrying space and incubation carrier urgently as well. Thus this research discusses the construction of urban visual planning system and the specific implementation path from the perspective of the development of cultural tourism industry.

The aim of the research was to define the cultural heritage of Poland as represented in the urban space of Vienna by Polonica. Structures commemorating Poles or events they took part in, as well as places related to Poland and Polish people such as Nazi death camps, or geographical objects, were included. Polonica were grouped and analysed in terms of the time of creation, location in the city space, founders, inscriptions and building materials (if they came from Poland). On the basis of the results and discussion, it was found that, as a group of objects, Polonica represent the cultural heritage of Poland from various periods. These objects show both the history of the people and events commemorated, as well as events in the history of Poland over the last 400 years. Moreover, it was argued that some Polonica constitute the cultural heritage of both Poland and Austria. Some objects may be perceived and interpreted differently, which may be related to international political disputes.

Urban mobility is one of the pressing challenges Dhaka City facing today. Existing car based mobility network has already proven ineffective and thus leads to congestion, inequity and unhealthy urban environment. Even though largest portion of city population travels by walk, pedestrian mobilityhas been severely compromised especially in newly planned residential areas. Streets here are planned considering automobile as a primary mode of transport; a comfortable setting of walkable streets is almost nonexistent. However, the historic core of the city is an exception where streets are seen dominated by the pedestrian. The paper presents a comparative study of the walkability between planned (Bashundhara R/A) and historic (Shakhari bazar) urban area while taking into account the importance of active mobility for a healthy urban development. The study starts with reviewing theoretical constructs of ‘pedestrian-friendly community development’ while looking into case studies and urban standards in order to synthesize ‘walkability’ matrices. Multiple tools are used to measure walkability of the street. Maps are studied to analyze the physical context of selected urban area, scientific tools are used to collect site specific microclimatic data, observation and questionnaire surveys are conducted to understand user’s response. The aim is to formulate a checklist of walkable streetscape in the context of Dhaka, Bangladesh. The study identifies the physical (height width ratio, vegetation, water features, orientation) and functional attributes (location of amenities, infrastructure, safety) of street fabric has strongimpact on improving walkability.
