Qijiang ancient town is a famous historical and cultural town of Sichuan province with a history of over 2000 years. Most of the buildings in this ancient town were build in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties which are build by western Sichuan style. The street buildup by those buildings were very well protected. There is an 500-meter-long ancient block, containing 5 ancient stages and temples. There are 2 well-preserved stages so far. Qijiang ancient town follow the combination characteristics of contrary space sequence and contrary space behavior, its space form layout is rigorous. The outer space, inner space, inter living space, behaviour and time space are formed orderly. Today the town's space form layout is evolved in a long history and tourism economy developed. With the development of tourism economy, the traditional space pattern has already not adapt to the modern Qijiang town’s development. What make it worse is lack of a comprehensive guide, causing the ancient town’s traditional history and culture and traditional pattern face a new dilemma. From the point of the protection of traditional space pattern and traditional culture, this thesis aimed at Qijiang ancient town’s internal space form layout analysis and research as the key point, making space configuration optimize and adjust. In order to adapt to the development of modern Qijiang town. Provides an example of small towns’ residential environment construction development in China.

Locally concentrated heavy rainfall has led to an increase in the occurrence of flood damage. This is especially so in the urban areas, which are relatively more vulnerable to flood damage due to the high population and property density. In Seoul, which has 25 administrative districts, heavy rainfall triggered flood-related damage in 2010, 2011, and 2018. However, the flood characteristics of each district were different due to difference in flood impact factors such as topography, weather, and disaster prevention measures. The flood vulnerability of each district should be assessed based on local characteristics to reduce flood damage. This study collected and calculated 15 characteristic data points that can explain the climate exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity of each district using the entropy weight method. Thereafter, the flood vulnerability of each district was calculated based on climate exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, using the Euclidean method. The results showed that the northern and western areas in Seoul are highly vulnerable due to high climate exposure, sensitivity, and low adaptive capacity. In contrast, the other parts of Seoul had low vulnerability due to high sensitivity, low climate exposure, and high adaptive capacity. These results will contribute to the establishment of a flood damage reduction plan that reflects local characteristics.

Introduction. In modern Economics, one of the most common and simplest methods of analyzing the balance of urban settlement systems is to assess their compliance with Zipf's law or the rank–size rule. The basis of this pattern is the relationship between urban population and its place in the hierarchy of towns ranked in descending order of size. Based on the results of the study conducted, the article assesses the balance of the urban settlement system of the European North Russia, as one of its regions, by analyzing its compliance with Zipf’s law. Materials and Methods. The official data from the Federal State Statistics Service on the population of towns in the European North of Russia for 1959, 1989 and 2019 were used as materials of the study. The method of constructing a linear regression between the logarithm of the actual population and the logarithm of the rank of the town was used to verify Zipf's law for the urban network of the region in a certain period. In order to substantiate the conclusions drawn, an analysis of the dynamics of the number of towns and the share of the population living in them was carried out. The monographic method, as well as the methods of tabular and graphical data visualization, was used to interpret the results of the calculations. Results. Based on the analysis of data on the application of the rank–size rule for the towns in the European North of Russia, it has been found that Zipf’s law was not fully observed in any time period, which indicates the imbalance of the existing urban settlement system. In the period from 1959 to 2019, there was an increase in the concentration of the population in the major cities of the region. The imbalance is also caused by the growing number of small towns with a population that does not correspond to the optimal value according to Zipf's law. Discussion and Conclusion. Based on the calculations, the author has come to the conclusion that the cities of Arkhangelsk and Cherepovets have the potential for growth, as well as some others with a population of up to 100 thousand people. The practical significance of the study lies in the possibility of using the results obtained to prognosticate the population of towns in the European North of Russia when planning the location of production facilities, as well as transport and social infrastructure in the region.

The Impact

Ecological monitoring of the environment constitutes the basis for the study of natural objects and an integrated approach to the organization of both production and human activity at large. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the factors that influence human activity on the nature of the Arctic. The leading research methods for this problem are the method of analysing several factors of human activity on the dynamics of changes in nature, including the method of qualitative assessment, during which the general nature of the impact was identified. As a result, continuous observations were made of the state of the atmosphere. The data on the concentration of fine dust obtained from the Norilsk stationary post allow to identify the level of pollution. The assessment of impact factors was carried out, which allowed to determine the extent of impact on nature. The authors also conducted field work and tested 50 biological samples of wild reindeer in West Taimyr using the molecular genetic marker system. The novelty of the study is that organizational and methodological recommendations were developed for conducting production activities. The practical significance of the study is determined by the necessity of implementing the necessary scientific and administrative apparatus for the preparation and implementation of practical measures, since many theoretical aspects for further proposal of measures have not been sufficiently developed.

E-mail: [email protected] Keywords (3-5): urban tissues, urban morphology, urban routes, theory, history Conference topics and scale: Tools of analysis in urban morphology     Recent urban morphology studies consider urban tissues as living organisms changing in time (Strappa, Carlotti, Camiz, 2016), following this assumption the theory should examine more analytically what Muratori called ‘medievalisation’ (Muratori, 1959), a term describing some of the transformations of urban routes happened in the middle ages. The paper considers the diachronic deformation of routes, and other multi-scalar occurrences of the attraction phenomena (Charalambous, Geddes, 2015), introducing the notion of attractors and repellers. Archaeological studies already do consider attractors and repellers as a tool to interpret some territorial transformations, following the assumption that “the trajectory that a system follows through time is the result of a continuous dynamic interaction between that system and the multiple 'attractors' in its environment” (Renfrew, Bahn, 2013, p. 184). There are different elements that can act as attractors in an urban environment, such as bridges, city walls, city gates, water systems, markets, special buildings, and it is possible to consider each of these anthropic attractors as equivalent to a morphological attractor at the geographical scale. We can even interpret the ridge-top theory (Caniggia, 1976) as the result of attraction and repellence of geographic features on anthropic routes. The territorial scale analysis is the methodological base of the theory, but the attractors herein considered operate at the urban scale, deviating locally across time from a rectilinear trajectory and defining a specific urban fabric. The research interprets and reads the effects of attractors on urban routes and fabrics as a method for the reconstruction of Nicosia’s medieval city walls, in continuity between the Conzenian approach (Whitehand, 2012) and the Italian School of Urban Morphology (Marzot, 2002).     References:,   Muratori, S.
