The purpose of this study is to introduce the procedure to apply LID (Low Impact Development) in developing the master plan for the mixed-use residential buildings to be built at three blocks (H5, H6, H9) in the 1-5 Living Area in the Multifunctional Administrative City. The legal background of the district unit plan was revised by adding new clauses for the definition of LID and rainwater circulation system where LID is applied. Based on the revised district unit plan regulations, several LID technologies which were appropriate for each block were selected, and they were reflected in the master plan and design guideline as a part of the rainwater circulation system. After the design guideline was developed in detail, a company that will develop the design and build was selected through a design competition. As of 2020, these mixed-use residential buildings are under construction. Once they are built and used by occupants, they will enable researchers to empirically evaluate the benefits of LID by showing how rainwater circulates and how LID works in the building and area.

A study devoted to the origin of the planning system of the Tyrgan district to the west of the Siberian city of Prokopyevsk is presented. The planning system concept originally proposed by a design team led by the German architect Ernst May was considered for the development of the Tyrgan district. The study is based on cartographic, literary and iconographic sources, as well as on an examination of buildings preserved from the 1920-1930s. The historical reasons for attracting foreign specialists, including the personal input of Ernst May, to create a master plan for the development of this industrial area are provided. The structure of the master plan for the development of Tyrgan and the role of the first conceptual proposals by "May Brigade" architectural group led by Ernst May for the placement of residential buildings in the borderless territory are analysed with the revealed elements of buildings that previously existed in this territory. In the historical zone, a fragment of “line building” is revealed repre-sented by five residential buildings having a unique urban planning environment in combination with communal houses and the Mining College. Information on the current state of identified objects is pre-sented. The conducted study justifies the rejection of an opinion expressed in a number of publications on the indirect influence of the Tyrgan planning scheme developed by the Ernst May design team in 1930 on the modern layout of the city which served as the basis for further design proposals. According to this scheme, the directions of the main highways in the historical eastern part of the city were laid along with a definition of the development concept of the district as a whole. The residential territory as envisaged in the scheme Ernst May developed in the western direction, taking into account the com-plexity of the relief.

The Makkasan Train Factory, opened 110 years ago, is the first industrial estate in Thailand and used to be the biggest hub for train production in Southeast Asia. Nowadays, this huge land of 80 hectares, with direct access from the Savarnabhumi airport rail link, is considered a golden land right in the business center of Bangkok, that attracts real estate investors. A third of the land set aside at the end of last year for the development of a mixed use commercial project as a part of the High Speed Train project. As this land is the last big area of public land in the capital, civic groups for urban heritage conservation and the environment tried to point out its tangible and intangible heritage value hoping that there would be a proper master plan to preserve these values for future generations.

Two main building Kalimantan Institute of Technology was established on an area of 3500 m2 on October 6, 2014 which serves as the infrastructure for teaching and learning activities of students. The rapid increase in the number of students each year results in an increase in the number of buildings as facilities for teaching and learning. This is the background for the development of the Kalimantan Institute of Technology area by adding five more lecture buildings to support teaching and learning activities for 3500 students. The expansion area for five more lecture buildings is currently under construction in the area of ​​the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. The function of the land area has been change due to building construction resulted in an increase in runoff discharge. This condition certainly affects the region if not handled properly. Increased runoff discharge will affect inundation or flooding in the area if it is not equipped with a drainage system as needed. This research is one alternative solution given. This research is in the form of a study on the implementation of a drainage master plan that aims to obtain drainage dimensions such as drainage width, drainage length and drainage depth by observing runoff due to rainwater using the concept of environmentally friendly drainage. The research obtained from the dimensions of tertiary canals with dimensions of 0.10-0.30 meters, secondary channels 0.30-0.45 meters and primary channels 0.35-0.70 meters with the discharge area of ​​the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences ITK is 1.18 m3/ sec.

Construction by nature is inherently dangerous, with a high degree of hazard and risk. Serious fire has occurred in building under construction, which will not delay their completion dates and loss of life, but also result in serious monetary losses. The objectives of this paper are to investigate the causes of fire hazard during the construction phase; assess the risk level arising from the fire hazard during the construction phase; and tpropose safety control measures of fire hazard during the construction phase. Primary data is obtained from the respondents of a mixed use development project in Kuala Lumpur via questionnaire surveys. The data is analysed via Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) and Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control (HIRARC). The findings show that the most important causes of fire hazard of a mixed-use development project are related to workers site activities. Meanwhile, HIRARC identifies that fire hazard from hot works and use electrical tools are the most important risks. Lastly, safety control measures were proposed to control the identified fire hazard by improving the operating procedure of hot works and use of electrical tools as well as implementing good housekeeping practices and inspection at the workplace.

Samara Region is one of the largest industrial and agricultural centers of the Russian Federation. It is characterized by a high level of urbanization. Soil degradation, its chemical and bacteriological pollution as well as declining fertility are the result of versatile economic activity in the region. The rate and level of soil pollution are actively monitored however only very scarce data on its sanitary-epidemiological condition are available. At present Samara Region is facing a boost of residential, administrative and industrial constriction which requires sanitary-epidemiological testing of soil at construction sites. The paper deals with the above mentioned problem. It has been determined that the most reliable criteria in estimating the sanitary-epidemiological condition of soil are sanitary-significant microorganisms, a group of coliform bacillus in particular. The causes and effects of urban soil pollution by microbiological contaminants have been analyzed. The role of lactose-positive intestinal protozoa as sanitary-significant microorganisms has been studied. A quantitative evaluation of lactose-positive intestinal protozoa index has been carried out for the soils below residential buildings, administrative buildings, industrial constructions as well as the utility systems area. In particular, it has been measured that the level of soil pollution by lactose positive intestinal protozoa depends on the period they have been in human use. An aggravated level of soil pollution in certain areas can be observed due to uncontrolled littering as well as pet walking or an increasing number of stray animals. Industrialized areas (oil plants) are characterized by the lowest level of lactose positive protozoa contamination which is explained by the fact that those industries use modern technologies which are able to minimize ecological risks. However, such areas are polluted in a different way. Dangerous level of soil contamination by lactose positive protozoa is registered at several large automotive plants.

This article deals with the selection of optimal sets of formwork of the object under construction, depending on the space-planning and design solutions. Improving the use of system formwork design. The areas of formwork application are characterized, the requirements for formwork systems are given. The author presents modern types of formwork, which have different design characteristics and are designed for different climatic conditions. In the article the author characterizes the main types of formwork systems used in modern monolithic construction. Development of technology of monolithic reinforced concrete works is largely constrained by the structural shortcomings of formwork systems. The paper proposes a formwork construction module that allows concreting structures with different lengths for each object using one unified formwork panel, based on the space-planning and structural solutions. Thus it is necessary to change only places of fastening of face elements of a timbering. The practical significance of the study lies in the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the use of system formwork.

China’s urban villages have distinct characteristics compared with the ones in western countries. Identifying urban villages provides a basis for policymakers to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of urban planning in China and other developing countries. However, perhaps due to limitations of data acquisition among others, few urban studies have successfully identified urban villages at the building level. To fill the research gap, this paper has fused multiple sources of data and utilized a three-stage model to identify urban villages in Haizhu District (Guangzhou, China). The first stage discriminates residential buildings, offices, shops, and restaurants based on various peak times of bike trajectories in different types of buildings. However, the first stage could not distinguish the regular residential buildings (in cities) and residential buildings within urban villages due to the similarity of human activities between them. It then utilized a second stage to identify residential buildings within urban villages based on the area, height, and density of buildings. In the third stage, we used correction rules to identify buildings with mixed-use and single-use buildings within urban villages. The results showed that urban villages were mainly concentrated in the western and central regions of the Haizhu District. Most of them were adjacent to shopping buildings or high-rise residential buildings. Building height and density played critical roles in the characterization of residential buildings in urban villages. Our accuracy rate was around 85% when verified against ground-truth data.
