Through an accurate decision for planning, investment and promotion, tourism can affect positively, directly, rapidly and sustainably the socioeconomic development of a nation, region, province and local destination. In order to achieve national tourism targets not only in the number tourists but also in revenue, activities are needed to lengthen stay periods and increase revenues. Such activates are only possible through mainly the touristic products attracting and integrating with all tourism types and presenting local and native cultural elements, emphasizing uniqueness and accurateness. Such activities may increase tourist satisfaction, the share locals get from revenues, the adoption rate of tourism by locals and their pleasure. Erzurum has faced in recent years some slight increase in the number pf tourist due to various types of tourism potentials e.g. winter, history – culture, nature – adventure and health and well – being. Nearly 50 thousand foreign and 340 thousand domestic tourists visit the city staying only one or two days. In order to increase the contribution of tourists to the city, length of their stay should be increased. Therefore, preparation and implementation of a city activity plan through the participation of all local actors including mainly municipalities. Maybe, only a simple plan involving pilot activities is planned. As in all parts of Anatolia, Erzurum city shelters several values to serve as touristic products. Local authorities and responsible institutions should work together in a coordination and try to implement the activity plan in a great care.

As the climate continues to warm and the world becomes more urbanized, our reliance on trees and the benefits they provide is rapidly increasing. Many cities worldwide are planting trees to offset rising temperatures, trap pollutants, and enhance environmental and human health and well-being. To maximize the benefits of planting trees and avoid further increasing social inequities, a city needs to prioritize where to establish trees by first identifying those areas of greatest need. This work aims to demonstrate a spatially explicit approach for cities to determine these priority locations to achieve the greatest returns on specific benefits. Criteria for prioritization were developed in tandem with the City of Joliette, Canada, and based on nine indicators: surface temperature, tree density, vegetation cover, resilience, tree size and age, presence of species at risk, land use type, socioeconomic deprivation, and potential for active transportation. The City’s preferences were taken into account when assigning different weights to each indicator. The resulting tree planting priority maps can be used to target street tree plantings to locations where trees are needed most. This approach can be readily applied to other cities as these criteria can be adjusted to accommodate specific tree canopy goals and planning constraints. As cities are looking to expand tree canopy, we hope this work will assist in sustaining and growing their urban forest, enabling it to be more resilient and to keep providing multiple and sustained benefits where they are needed the most.

Abstract As affordable senior housing communities aimed to address the health and well-being concerns of residents in the COVID-19 pandemic, special attention to safety during renovation had to be addressed. This paper offers case studies from members of a city-wide advocacy group, Senior Housing Preservation-Detroit. Eighty one percent of covid deaths in the City of Detroit are those 60 and above; 81.2% of deaths have been among African Americans (Detroit Health Department, 2021). With the grief and challenge in a city hit early on in the 2020 pandemic, these case studies will highlight how Covid-19 affected planned projects in senior buildings, how stakeholders such as developers, staff and residents responded and key considerations for future emergencies affecting senior housing communities. This paper offers critical perspectives applicable to many urban landscapes in order to raise awareness to policy makers, and practitioners.

The article discusses the kind of a typical house of the medieval Volhynian of the late XIV – middle XVI centuries. It is based on narrative and archaeological sources. The author explores the stages of building a house, material options and the help of craftsmen, external and internal appearance of the house, a variety of household utensils. It was found out that the family yard consisted mostly of living quarters, stables, farm pits and gardens. Wealthy townspeople placed baths in the yard, obtaining permission from the administration. The construction of the house was the business of the owner, who, in addition to the involvement of artisans, was himself a worker. An essential attribute of the dwelling was the furnace, which was decorated with tiles of geometric or floral ornament. Until the beginning of the sixteenth century, the living quarters were wooden, while the administrative and church buildings were made of stone. This was one of the causes of city fires that local authorities tried to fight, limiting candle light and hiring a city security guard. It is noted that in order to fill the houses, the market was filled with wide range of products from local manufactures, from shovels to variety of colored glasses, bowls and other kitchen essentials. It was proved that the home decoration was influenced by owner’s activities, his well-being and aesthetic preferences typical for the residents of the region. It was also determined that the dwellings of Volhynian were rich enough. In addition to that, the development of the city was monitored by the local authorities, which often abused its power.

The process of improving poor, declining urban neighbourhoods is essential for the health and well-being of individuals as well as the prosperity of cities and nations. Despite the clear practical and ideological reasons for doing this, throughout history, governments and planners have struggled to find workable solutions. Today, it is becoming increasingly clear that in order to achieve equitable, substantive and sustainable improvements in poor urban neighbourhoods, the solutions must be layered and account for the interrelatedness of social, economic, and physical realms. Given the complexity of this process, this research suggests that bottom-up, adaptive and catalytic approaches to urban renewal can help planners to achieve substantive and sustainable change. Further, as contemporary urban theory suggests, the notions of landscape and place are uniquely well-suited mediums for supporting and producing change in a complex world. The Mayor's Tower Renewal Project in the City of Toronto, is an urban renewal initiative that demonstrates both the importance and complexity of urban renewal. As such, it provides an opportunity to understand how bottom-up, adaptive, and catalytic approaches which engage the urban landscape can result in significant improvements to the conditions of a declining urban area. Based on this analysis this research paper offers a new lens for thinking about and reacting to the process of urban revitalization in a way that produces equitable, long-lasting and meaningful change.

© 2019, © 2019 European Council of Landscape Architecture Schools (ECLAS). In the context of the highly compact bicultural capital city of Wellington, New Zealand, this paper explores the development of an ecosanctuary initiated by the community. The indigenous flora and fauna was damaged as a result of the introduction of mammalian predators and aggressive plant species when the country was colonized, and through intensive urbanization. The restoration of the indigenous flora and fauna and the reintroduction of birdsong has resulted in a significant increase in commercial ecotourism. This paper explores health and well-being opportunities resulting from seeing the sanctuary through a Māori lens. It examines the phenomenon of Zealandia, where green and blue infrastructures foster emerging ecologies while accommodating visitor services and improving the social, cultural, economic, and environmental health of the city. It finds that the benefits of this compact urban landscape far exceed the original goals of the project and it offers new prospects for health and well-being through intensification by addressing sustainability holistically and including socio-cultural perspectives and initiatives.

The present work proposes a system of assortment of healing material in the Central Equipment and Sterilization of the Community Hospital of Hopelchen, Campeche starting with the use of input parameters (demand and costs), the analysis to determine how much and when to request consumption material. As well as assess the orders based on your weekly demand. This will be reflected in the improvement of the delivery-reception system, which impacts directly in all areas of the Hospital, thus avoiding serious problems such as shortages, ant theft, and reduction of expenses for excessive and untimely purchases, Expired products and shrinkage, among others. Likewise, the training of personnel in charge of the Central Equipment and Sterilization is considered. The aforementioned, will lead to a solution to a major problem of an economic and public nature, which is to avoid transferring the users belonging to this hospital to the General Hospital of the City of Campeche, for not having the necessary supplies in time and shape. The proposal is necessary, since as a hospital our reason for being is to provide health and well-being to our users, who demand good service and that this is provided with quality and warmth.
