Intensive urban development has created a shortage of urban green areas. The need to economically plan and use urban green spaces has fueled the redefinition of public spaces and parks so as to provide the residents with both recreation and relaxation facilities, as well as a forum for contact with culture. This paper discusses the case of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) in the Kallithea district on the outskirts of Athens, near the Mediterranean Sea. It fills a gap in the research on the aspects of the practical functioning of such facilities. The methodology used in the research included an analysis of the literature, the SNFCC’s reports, and an in situ survey. The cultural center hosts a number of events aimed at promoting Greece’s natural and cultural heritage. The paper includes a detailed analysis of the events organized by the SNFCC in the period 2017–2020 and their immense impact on residents. The aim of the study is to show that the creation of the SNFCC with the park areas has functioned as a factor contributing to the improvement of the quality of urban space and the quality of life of the city’s inhabitants. The paper’s conclusions indicate that the sustainable SNFCC project, which fulfils the urban ecology criteria, has been very well received by the visitors—citizens and tourists alike. A program-centered innovation introduced by the SN Park has added great value to their lives. The project contributes to economic and cultural growth, as well as the protection and promotion of heritage.

As áreas verdes englobam locais públicos abertos, livres de construções ou coberturas impermeabilizantes (em pelo menos 70% da área), onde predominam características naturais que devem cumprir três funções principais - estética, ecológica-ambiental e de lazer e/ou esportivo. O presente trabalho visa propor um método para diagnosticar quanti-qualitativamente esses espaços em áreas urbanas. Para tal, foi utilizado como estudo de caso um conjunto de bairros do município de São Carlos (SP), no qual analisou-se o sistema de áreas verdes quanto a compatibilidade legal, a adequabilidade de área e distribuição no espaço e a qualificação quanto ao uso. Como resultado verificou-se que a área estudada possui grande deficiência de áreas verdes, tanto em quantidade quanto em qualidade, além de estarem inadequadamente distribuídas no espaço. Entende-se que é necessário que as políticas públicas existentes sejam aplicadas, pois as áreas abandonadas e invadidas poderiam estar sendo revertidas em benefício à qualidade de vida da população. Além disso, é necessário que se inclua nas políticas públicas mecanismos que exijam uma correta distribuição dessas áreas nos loteamentos e na cidade.  A B S T R A C TThe green spaces include open public places, free of buildings or waterproofing covers (at least 70% of the area), where the predominant natural features to fulfill three main functions - aesthetic, ecological-environmental and recreational and/or sports. This paper aims to propose a method to diagnose quantitative and qualitative those areas in medium-sized cities, using a set of neighborhoods in São Carlos (SP) as a case study, with verification of compliance with applicable legislation with a view to sound quality life of its urban population. As a result, it was found that the studied area in question has great deficiency of green spaces, both in quantity and quality, in addition to being improperly distributed in space. It is understood that is necessary that the existing public policies are applied because the abandoned and invaded areas could be being reversed for the benefit the population's quality of life. In addition, it is necessary to include in public policy mechanisms that require a correct distribution of these areas in the subdivision.Keywords: Urban planning; Urban law; Public areas.    <w:

This paper presents the results of an assessment of change in urban green spaces in Thanh Hoacity (Vietnam). Sentinel 2 MSI data in 2015 and 2021 are used to calculate 3 parameters: percentage ofgreen, weight of green types, and weight of proximity to green. These parameters are used to calculate theWeighted Urban Green Space Index (WUGSI). The final result shows the distribution of green space inthe study area consisted of very high-quality green, high-quality green, moderate quality green, and lowquality green. The obtained results show that the quality of urban green space in Thanh Hoa city haschanged significantly in the period 2015-2021, in which the area with category “low quality green space”increased from 7.17% up to 9.48%; areas with category “very high-quality green space” reduced from65.02% to 47.39%.

Purpose Misophonia is a sound tolerance disorder condition in certain sounds that trigger intense emotional or physiological responses. While some persons may experience misophonia, a few patients suffer from misophonia. However, there is a dearth of literature on audiological assessment and management of persons with misophonia. The purpose of this report is to discuss the assessment of misophonia and highlight the management option that helped a patient with misophonia. Method A case study of a 26-year-old woman with the complaint of decreased tolerance to specific sounds affecting quality of life is reported. Audiological assessment differentiated misophonia from hyperacusis. Management included retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy based on the principles described by P. J. Jastreboff and Jastreboff (2014). A misophonia questionnaire was administered at regular intervals to monitor the effectiveness of therapy. Results A detailed case history and audiological evaluations including pure-tone audiogram and Johnson Hyperacusis Index revealed the presence of misophonia. The patient benefitted from intervention, and the scores of the misophonia questionnaire indicated a decrease in the severity of the problem. Conclusions It is important to differentially diagnose misophonia and hyperacusis in persons with sound tolerance disorders. Retraining counseling as well as desensitization and habituation therapy can help patients who suffer from misophonia.
