    Policy synergy, the evidence-based coordination of public policies, can aid in more rapidly achieving air pollutant and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission reduction targets. Using logarithmic mean Divisia index (LMDI) decomposition, coupling coordination degree (CCD), and geographically and temporally weighted regression (GTWR) models, we analyzed the emission characteristics, drivers, and reduction pathways of residential air pollution across 30 Chinese provinces from 2001 to 2020. The southern provinces produced more air pollution than the northern provinces, with the gap widening after 2015. In the residential sector, energy emission factors (LMDI decomposition result, 686,681.9) and population size (14,331) had greater impacts on air pollutant emissions than the energy structure, energy intensity, synergies, or GDP per capita. The GTWR analysis of the CCD mechanism indicated that hydroelectricity and urbanization enhanced coupling coordination in the southeast. Meanwhile, in the west, coupling coordination was improved by R&D investment, government spending on industrial pollution control, electricity consumption, per capita cropland, temperature, and urbanization. This analysis provides a valuable reference for optimizing emission reduction strategies.

    China’s transportation sector plays a significant role in reducing carbon dioxide (CO2) and air pollution. Previous studies have predominantly utilized scenario analysis to forecast emissions for the next 30 to 50 years based on coefficients from a base year. To elucidate the current state of gas emissions in the transportation sector, this study employed panel data for 10 types of gas emissions from 2001 to 2020, analyzing their emission characteristics, tendencies, and synergistic effects. Utilizing the Kaya equation and the logarithmic mean division index (LMDI) decomposition method, we developed a model of pollutant emissions that considers the synergistic effects, pollution emission intensity, energy mix, energy consumption intensity, and population. The results show that all pollutants in the transportation sector decreased except for NH3 and CO2. There was a synergistic effect between air pollutants and CO2 emissions, but the reduction was not significant. From 2013 to 2020, the transportation sector shifted from a high emission intensity with low synergy to a low emission intensity with high synergy. The results indicate that off-road mobile vehicles, on-road diesel vehicles, and motorcycles became the main source of emissions from transportation in certain provinces, and a key area requiring attention in policy development. Gasoline consumption was identified as the primary contributor to the significant increase in synergistic emission variability in the transportation sector. These results provide policymakers with practical ways to optimize emission reduction pathways.

    Informal street markets are integral to the urban fabric of many developing nations, creating dynamic public spaces through economic, social and spatial interventions. These markets, despite lacking formal infrastructure support, self-organise and manage their spaces, offering a potential sustainable solution for public space management in developing cities. This study examines the socio-spatial, self-organisational and institutional elements that sustain informal street markets, aiming to create a framework for self-sustained public spaces. Focusing on the Kimbulawala street market in Sri Lanka, which emerged during the 2019 economic recession and operates amid government opposition, the research utilises interviews and correspondence analysis to explore the relationships and characteristics of vendors. The findings reveal three vendor categories: stewards, keepers and followers, each with distinct social capital and organisational roles. Stewards exhibit high linking social capital and agency, leading the market’s self-organisation and resistance against state interventions. Keepers, with strong bonding social capital, focus on market maintenance and negotiations with the government, while followers, less active in organisational efforts, rely on the collective power of the community. The study highlights that negative state actions can catalyse stronger self-organisation among vendors, emphasising the importance of vendor associations for market sustainability. Soft assets such as social capital, entrepreneurship, and pride in work are crucial indicators of a market’s resilience. The research concludes that informal markets, through proper understanding and regulation, can significantly contribute to creating vibrant and liveable urban spaces. The framework developed can be applied to other contexts to evaluate market sustainability, suggesting future research to explore its applicability in different economic and cultural settings. This study underscores the untapped potential of informal markets in developing cities, advocating for their inclusion in urban planning to foster liveable and sustainable urban environments.

    The contradiction between resource depletion and economic growth in resource-exhausted cities is becoming prominent. The role of ICT has been reflected in many policies to promote sustainable urban development. It is necessary to clarify the mechanism of ICT for urban green transformation efficiency (UGTE) in resource-exhausted cities. In this research, 39 resource-exhausted cities in China were selected as the research samples, and panel data were collected for 20 years to assess their ICT development level and their UGTE. The panel regression model, PVAR model, heterogeneity test, and moderating effect test were used to analyze the relationship between the two. The main findings are as follows: (1) ICT has a facilitating effect on UGTE in resource-exhausted cities, with a regression coefficient of 0.170⁎⁎⁎. (2) The improvement of ICT significantly promotes the UGTE in these cities, and the promotional effect reaches a peak after a lag of 6 periods; the original UGTE also has a negative impact on the future ICT development level, and the negative impact reaches a peak after a lag of 6 periods. (3) The promotional effect of ICT on UGTE in resource-exhausted cities consists of being strongest in the eastern region (0.477⁎⁎⁎), then in the central region (0.233⁎⁎⁎), weaker in the western region (0.167⁎⁎), and weakest in the northeastern region (0.080*). (4) The improvement of energy structure, green innovation structure, and urban-rural consumption structure strengthens the promotional effect of ICT on UGTE in resource-exhausted cities. Finally, targeted policy recommendations were proposed.

    BACKGROUND: The effects of physical activity (PA) across different domains and intensities on depressive symptoms remain inconclusive. Incorporating the community-built environment (CBE) into longitudinal analyses of PA's impact on depressive symptoms is crucial. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to examine the effects of PA at different intensities-low-intensity PA (eg, walking activities) and moderate-to-vigorous-intensity PA (eg, activities requiring substantial effort and causing faster breathing or shortness of breath)-across leisure-time and occupational domains on depressive symptom trajectories among middle-aged and older adults. Additionally, it investigated how CBEs influence depressive symptoms and PA trajectories. METHODS: This longitudinal study included 6865 middle-aged and older adults from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey. A CBE variable system was developed using a community questionnaire to assess attributes of the physical built environment. Depressive symptoms were measured using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Latent growth curve modeling was applied to analyze 3 waves of the cohort data (2015, 2018, and 2020) to explore the differential effects of PA on depressive symptoms and the role of the CBE. RESULTS: In the 2015 and 2018 waves, higher low-intensity leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) was associated with lower depressive symptoms (β=-.025, P=.01 and β=-.027, P=.005, respectively). Across all waves, moderate-to-vigorous-intensity LTPA showed no significant predictive effects (P=.21 in 2015, P=.57 in 2018, and P=.85 in 2020, respectively). However, higher occupational physical activity (OPA), particularly at moderate-to-vigorous intensities, was consistently associated with higher depressive symptoms. Parallel process latent growth curve modeling revealed that the initial level of total LTPA negatively predicted the initial level of depressive symptoms (β=-.076, P=.01). OPA exhibited dual effects, positively predicting the initial level of depressive symptoms (β=.108, P<.001) but negatively predicting their upward trajectory (β=-.136, P=.009). Among CBE variables, better infrastructure conditions (β=-.082, P<.001) and greater accessibility to public facilities (β=-.036, P=.045) negatively predicted the initial level of depressive symptoms. However, greater accessibility to public facilities positively predicted the upward trajectory of depressive symptoms (β=.083, P=.04). Better infrastructure conditions (β=.100, P=.002) and greater accessibility to public transport (β=.060, P=.01) positively predicted the initial level of total LTPA. Meanwhile, better infrastructure conditions (β=-.281, P<.001) and greater accessibility to public facilities (β=-.073, P<.001) negatively predicted the initial level of total OPA. Better infrastructure conditions positively predicted the declining trajectory of total OPA (β=.100, P=.004). CONCLUSIONS: This study underscores the importance of considering the differential effects of PA across domains and intensities on depressive symptoms in public policies and guidelines. Given the influence of the environment on PA and depressive symptoms, targeted community measures should be implemented.

    In recent decades, transit-oriented development strategies have been widely applied in different countries around the world, including China. There is a mutually promoting relationship between urban land use (activities) and traffic (accessibility) in TODs. However, some TODs cannot achieve this process, which is beneficial to their development. This research evaluated the relationship between accessibility and activities in TODs by applying the SBM model and the super-efficiency SBM model. Hefei City was the case study. The results can identify the TODs whose activities and accessibility cannot promote the development of each other and should be prioritized in future planning. There are two types of priority TODs from the analysis: “Undersupplied TODs” and “Underdeveloped TODs.” In addition, this method can sort TODs according to the efficiency with which it achieves the above relationship. Identifying priority TODs would be helpful for planners to find weak TODs in the TOD network quickly.

    The 15-minute Community Life Circle (15 min-CLC) concept is an urban planning approach that aims to provide various daily services for citizens within a short distance. It has been widely adopted in China, especially in large cities. However, there is a lack of research on how to apply the 15 min-CLC concept in second-tier cities, which have high population densities and lower quality of life. This study chose Jinan City as a case study to explore the underdeveloped areas and facilities of 15 min-CLCs in rapidly developing and medium-size cities, called second-tier cities. First, it analyzed the distribution of facilities and residential POIs in old communities, new communities, and the whole city, to find out which type of facilities are missing at the community level. Second, it examined the relationship between facilities and population in each 15 min-CLC by using the Facility to Population Ratio (FPR), to evaluate the sufficiency of facilities to meet the daily needs of residents. Through the analysis of facility distribution and Facility Population Ratio, our study found that old communities have all the required facility types within each 15 min-CLC, but they do not have enough number of facilities to support the population. At the same time, identified the underdeveloped regions and provided specific development directions for each 15 min-CLC. The FPR methodology developed in this study can be used to evaluate whether the existing facilities can meet the daily needs of residents in a certain region.

    Hefei, the capital city of Anhui Province, China, has been experiencing rapid development due to fast population growth and continuous city expansion since 2010. The Hefei government began to operate the subway system in 2017 and introduced the concept of transit-oriented development (TOD) as a strategy to reduce traffic pressure and environmental pollution. By 2020, there were 77 TODs in operation. However, some TODs could not attract enough public transport passengers or increase the economic activities. This study analyzed the Hefei City TOD network and tried to identify TODs that need development priority among the existing TODs to guide the efficient allocation of resources for the development of the TOD network. First, this study measured the accessibility and activity intensity at each TOD by using the node-place model. Second, the 77 existing TODs were divided into 4 priority levels by applying the silhouette method. Level 1 and level 2 TODs have development priority and are referred to as "Unstable TODs" and "Unbalanced TODs," respectively. Finally, this paper provides some strategies for developing these priority TODs.

    Based on questionnaire surveys and the AHP method, this paper determines the driving forces of urban sprawl and analyzes their relative influence on sprawl in the middle, north, and south sectors of Giza Governorate, which is located in the western part of the Greater Cairo Metropolitan Region. Sprawl patterns in the study area were influenced by seven driving forces: geographical characteristics, availability of life facilities, economic incentives, land demand and supply, population increases, administrative functions, and development plans. These forces have varying degrees of influence in each sector. Amongst these forces, economic incentives in the middle sector, population increases in the north sector, and administrative functions in the south sector were the forces most influential in urban sprawl.

    The Greater Cairo Metropolitan Region (GCMR) in its seeking to sustainable development (SD) by the year of 2050 facing the serious challenge of around 65 percent of Cairenes live in unplanned settlements. In this respect, the authors examined the effect of urban characteristics of unplanned settlements on SD in the Egyptian context, focusing on the type of unplanned growth on agricultural land. The output of the analysis were fourfold. First of all, we provide a brief overview of previous research on the main types of unplanned settlements in GCMR and the sustainability definition according to the Egyptian context. Secondly, we had a discussion with the local government during our field survey in GCMR to determine the study samples, the main urban characteristics, and the sustainability evaluation criteria in the Egyptian context. Thirdly, through the comparative analysis and geographic information system (GIS), we examined how the character of urban development affected per capita four urban measures in a cross-section of two settlements, one represented the unplanned settlements and other as a comparative planned sample to determine the real gap. Finally, by using the evaluation matrix, the help and block items are estimated for each measure of urban characteristics, providing substantive evidence on how the four measures of urban characteristics have been affected by the urban sprawl.

    © 2016 The Institute of Urban Sciences. The goal of this paper was to find an appropriate urban policy to preserve arable land that is being consumed by highly accelerated urban growth in the Giza Governorate of the Greater Cairo Metropolitan region for the last 50 years. We simulated three different urban policies and relevant growth scenarios for Giza from 2015 to 2035 by using the SLEUTH model to investigate their effects on arable lands. The first scenario used historical growth trends to simulate the persistent growth trends under existing conditions. The second was a compact growth scenario with robust restrictions on development in areas outside of designated growth centres. The third scenario considered officially planned growth that integrated stricter growth plans and stronger protections on lands with natural resources at a level that could be realistically accomplished with strong political commitments. The input data required by the model, including slope, land use, exclusion, and urban growth, transportation, and hill shade were derived from three Landsat satellite images from 1984, 2000, and 2013, according to supervised classifications. The simulation results found that the compact growth policy scenario had the least negative impact on arable lands, while the historical growth scenario had the worst impact.

    © Copyright 2016 DDSS. Colombo, the largest city in Sri Lanka, has expanded rapidly and continuously since the local economy was opened in the early 1980s. As a contrast to the other cities in the region, one of the main issues that planners have observed with current urbanization pattern was the slow growth of population density in the region to sustain reasonable economic growth that can support modern transportation and other infrastructure. The new Western Region Megapolis Project (WRMP) is attempting to develop a cluster of urban centers connected with modern transportation network. According to the proposed development plan, a cluster of urban centers expected to create an urban development pattern with better territorial balance. The objective of the proposed strategy is increasing the current population base by stimulating migration to the region. The plan has an ambitious goal with an estimated population of 8.5 million by 2030 with 3 million increases. The strategies proposed in the WRMP to attract population to peripheral urban centers are improving connectivity and creating job opportunities by way of increased investments. This research demonstrates a methodology to evaluate urban planning scenarios arising from policies of in the WRMA proposal using CA model and a Latin Hypercube Sample design. This method is useful in situations where the availability of reliable socioeconomic data is not available for data-intensive simulations.

    This paper examined the influences of the built environment and socio-economic driving factors on domestic gasoline consumption in developing metropolitan regions through a case study of the greater Cairo metropolitan region (GCMR), Egypt. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used in analyzing the causality of the domestic gasoline consumption. The influences of major factors hypothetically affecting the domestic energy consumption such as resident characteristics and built environment characteristics were examined. The results proved a high positive influence of the resident's income and the number of adults as driving factors, directly and indirectly, affecting energy consumption levels. Population density and attitude towards eco-friendly driving factors proved to be a very low influence on energy consumption. The built environment driving factors such as access time to public transportation and related building characteristics factors proved to have a low impact on energy consumption. The study findings suggest that the design of a built environment should be well related to the socioeconomic factors to manage the domestic energy consumption in developing regions.

    This paper discusses the driving forces (DFs) of informal urbanization (IU) in the greater Cairo metropolitan region (GCMR) using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The IU patterns in the GCMR have been extremely influenced by seven DFs: geographical characteristics, availability of life facilities, economic incentives, land demand and supply, population increase, administrative function, and development plans. This research found that these forces vary significantly in how they influence urban growth in the three study sectors, namely, the middle, north, and south areas in the western part of the GCMR. The forces with the highest influence were economic incentives in the middle sector, population increase in the north sector, and the administrative function in the south sector. Due to the lower availability of buildable land in the middle sector, the land demand and supply force had a lesser influence in this sector compared to in the north and south sectors. The development plans force had medium influence in all sectors. The geographical characteristics force had little influence in both the middle and the north sectors, but higher influence than economic incentives, availability of life facilities, and development plans in the south sector. Because of the spatial variances in life facilities organizations in the GCMR, the life facilities availability force had little effect on IU in the south sector.

    © 2016 The Institute of Urban Sciences. Since the 1950s, The Greater Cairo Metropolitan Region (GCMR) has witnessed an unprecedented rate of urban sprawl that has been mainly concentrated in arable lands against urban planning regulations, and has presented a critical challenge to the urban environment and serious corrosion for arable lands. Thus, the need to identify the driving factor of sprawl is crucial to understand the future of the GCMR urban environment and to overcome the serious challenges of rapid urbanization. We focused on the Giza governorate as a critical area in the GCMR and divided it into three sub-sectors to collect data and analyse. A primary list of driving factors was identified by literature review. Later this list was narrowed down to seven factors after interviews with local urban experts and consideration of the availability of data. Next, a logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate those factors with data derived from existing maps and remotely sensed data for the period of 2004–2013. An operating characteristic (ROC) evaluation of the logistic regression analysis gave high accuracy rates for the entire study area. The findings of the research revealed decreasing significance of the CBD and Nile River as drivers of sprawl. The most significant factors according to the analysis were neighbourhood factors, local urban centres, and accessibility factors of distances to urban uses and major roads. The research suggests more future urban expansion by the existing urban cores and along major roads, leading to more informal urban settlements. It also points to the possibility of persistent deterioration in the urban built environment and agricultural lands. Thus, these findings should be applied to actual urban planning policies, and development regulations should be strengthened to protect the urban environment from further deterioration.

    On the subject of informal sprawl in recent Egypt, this research takes Greater Cairo Region (GCR) as a case and puts forward that informal urban sprawl can be estimated from spatial disposition, informal sprawl efficacy and outer influences; and then evolves a geo-spatial indicators system for quantifying sprawl. So as to estimating these indicators, various data sources are selected, including land use maps, digitized map of the highways and town centers, and population statistical data, etc. GIS spatial analysis methods are used to spatialize these indicators into 120 m x 120 m cells. In addition, an incorporated sprawl index (ISI) is estimated by weight sum of these indicators. The results demonstrated that geo-spatial indicators system can captivate most of the exemplary attributes and interior differentia of urban sprawl. Building land in Cairo has kept quick growing with considerable amount of low efficacy and dysfunctional spatial disposition. The subsequent sprawl attributes are determined by each indicator's exemplary spatial disposition of urban sprawling, conspicuous fragmentation and unevenness of landscape due to ineffective implementation of land use planning, improper pattern of exemplary discontinuous development, strip development and leapfrog development, low efficacy of sprawl, low development density, low population density output in newly developed areas; and unfavorable influences on agriculture and environment and population life.

    The goal of this research was simulating future urban growth of the Cairo region from 2015 to 2035, by making use of cellular automata methodology in the SLEUTH modelling. The input data required by the model, including Slope, Land use, Exclusion, Urban growth, Transportation and Hillshade which were derived from three Landsat satellite images from 1984, 2000, and 2013 according to supervised classification. Three scenarios were designed to simulate the spatial pattern of urban growth. The first scenario is Historical growth trends to simulate the persisted growth trends by preserving the existing conditions. The second is a compact growth scenario with robust restrictions on development in areas that are outside of designated growth centers. The third scenario is growth as planned officially that integrates stricter growth plans and stronger protections on natural resource lands at a level that could be realistically accomplished with strong political obligation. Calibration of the SLEUTH model for Cairo metropolitan area manifested a high road coefficient beside similar high spread coefficient, which implies that the predicted mode of growth in Cairo are road influenced growth, and edge growth.

    This paper proposes a Cellular Automata (CA) model to evaluate the urbanization patterns arising from the regulation of urban growth on paddy lands in the Colombo Metropolitan Region (CMR). Most of the historic map data available for the CMR before 1990 are temporally sporadic and spatially incomplete. As an alternative to maps, classified remote sensing data are used to analyze the urbanization process. Logistic regression is applied to derive factors of urbanization and the various relationships among them. The relation between 'urban' and 'non-urban' serves as an explanatory variable. The factors explaining that relationship are calculated by exploratory logistic regression analyses. The probability calculated from the statistical model is used for CA transition with a random number. Several growth patterns are simulated based on a range of transition thresholds to test the CA model. Status quo growth and several growth control scenarios are simulated for the period from 1987 to 2002 based on an optimum threshold. The simulation result of the status quo growth is evaluated with several evaluation methods. The level of agreement between the estimated result from the status quo model and the actual data is 62&#37;, while the multi-scale goodness-of-fit method produces highly accurate values for the given range of resolutions.

    Development of a Land Use Planning Support Tool in the Developing Countries
    The purpose of this paper is to develop a land use planning support tool (LU-PST) in developing countries. LU-PST consists of an urban growth model and a land use zoning map support tool. The urban growth model is a Cellular Automata (CA) model, and population density by grid cell is calculated. The purpose of the land use zoning map support tool is to create zoning maps including residential, commercial, industrial and preservation zones. This tool used an AHP method in order to consider criterion for judgment of users. In order to develop the LU-PST, these two models were incorporated into ArcGIS (ESRI). It is possible for this tool to execute two tasks. One is for the land use zoning considered with urban growth trend. And the other is for the urban growth calculation based on a land use plan. The usefulness of LU-PST was discussed by analyzing the results of application to the Colombo Urban Area in Sri Lanka and considering comments about this tool from urban planners.

    Facing the aging society in China, it has become difficult for large-scale residential communities constructed decades ago to meet the needs of the shrinking size of population and aged residents. Based on the theory of the "community life circle," this study takes up Caoyang New Village, Shanghai to quantify the Convenience of residents’ life using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). By building a measurement framework to compare the 15-minute actual reachable area for elderly residents with the traditional method of defining life circles based on administrative boundaries, this study concludes that facilities including categories of health, elderly care as well as retail & shopping outside boundaries also play a significant compensatory role in the Convenience of elderly residents.

The data indicates that PM2.5 and PM10 contribute the most to the reduction effect. Furthermore, a panel threshold model is used to estimate the threshold at which GDP per capita has a structural impact on air quality index (AQI) and then use the threshold to classify the 28 cities into wealthy cities and less wealthy cities. The article insists that the government should provide more economic and technical support to the less wealthy cities while maintaining the scope of the existing policy.

    Improvement in livability is a vital requirement of the TOD development concept. The purposes of this research are to study the livability condition of TODs by evaluating whether the daily needs of residents of all ages within the existing TODs in Hefei City can be met, identifying the TODs that need further development and proposing appropriate strategies to help residents within different TODs access equal resources. Hefei City, as a representative second-tier Chinese city developing TODs, was used as a case study. Results of this research show only a small portion of residents within TODs can reach elderly care facilities. The higher livability of TODs is mainly concentrated in well-developed areas such as new and old city centers and traffic hubs.

    This research studied Jinan City as a case study of 15min-CLCs development among second-tier cities in China and tried to identify the underdeveloped areas and underdeveloped services for future growth. There are few studies on second-tier cities with large populations and low quality of life. The main steps of this study are as follows: First, we analyzed the distribution of facilities for the daily lives of residents in the 15-minute-CLCs. Secondly, the study assessed whether each 15-min-CLC meets the daily life needs of residents. Thirdly, it discussed relevant optimization strategies for underdeveloped regions. Finally, the underdeveloped regions and insufficient facilities in Jinan City were identified.

    The Asyut region in Upper Egypt is often considered as one of the most appealing regions in Upper Egypt for its importance as a medical, educational, and commercial center. As a result of these factors and regarding its location, which is surrounded by agriculture land, the available land area is quickly decreasing. However, the government has established New Asyut city to absorb the urban growth outside the Nile Valley. Yet the region's importance and the increasing population have led to significant urban growth, which has led to increasing loss of agricultural lands within the Nile Valley. Modelling spatially the dynamic change is important for innovative planning strategies. This study's main aims are to characterize the past urban growth process and to investigate a future scenario intended to help decision-makers in redrawing their policies for sustainable development to save the agriculture areas by absorbing the urban sprawl towards the new cities outside the Nile Valley. Satellite-derived Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) maps of the study area from 1990, 2003, and 2015 were processed. The explanatory driving forces were quantified and ordered using an analytical hierarchy process. The outputs were then processed within a framework of the Markov-cellular automata, and a multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) was used to produce the future suitability model. The model was verified using ROC and Kappa statistics. The study concluded that combinations of diversified driving forces exist during different periods. It found that the current urban development process is in a critical stage where urban and rural areas will face unprecedented stress on agriculture areas over the next 15 years. The present policies cannot deal with the future challenges regarding the direction of urban development. However, the study suggests that differentiated policies, based on the investigated scenario, should be considered to guide reasonable urban expansion; these have important implications for urban planning and management in Egypt.

    Based on questionnaire surveys and the AHP method, this paper determines the driving forces of urban sprawl and analyzes their relative influence on sprawl in the middle, north, and south sectors of Giza Governorate, which is located in the western part of the Greater Cairo Metropolitan Region. Sprawl patterns in the study area were influenced by seven driving forces: geographical characteristics, availability of life facilities, economic incentives, land demand and supply, population increases, administrative functions, and development plans. These forces have varying degrees of influence in each sector. Amongst these forces, economic incentives in the middle sector, population increases in the north sector, and administrative functions in the south sector were the forces most influential in urban sprawl.

    The goal of this paper was to find an appropriate urban policy to preserve arable land that is being consumed by highly accelerated urban growth in the Giza Governorate of the Greater Cairo Metropolitan region for the last 50 years. We simulated three different urban policies and relevant growth scenarios for Giza from 2015 to 2035 by using the SLEUTH model to investigate their effects on arable lands. The first scenario used historical growth trends to simulate the persistent growth trends under existing conditions. The second was a compact growth scenario with robust restrictions on development in areas outside of designated growth centres. The third scenario considered officially planned growth that integrated stricter growth plans and stronger protections on lands with natural resources at a level that could be realistically accomplished with strong political commitments. The input data required by the model, including slope, land use, exclusion, and urban growth, transportation, and hill shade were derived from three Landsat satellite images from 1984, 2000, and 2013, according to supervised classifications. The simulation results found that the compact growth policy scenario had the least negative impact on arable lands, while the historical growth scenario had the worst impact.

    The Greater Cairo Metropolitan Region (GCMR) in its seeking to sustainable development (SD) by the year of 2050 facing the serious challenge of around 65 percent of Cairenes live in unplanned settlements. In this respect, the authors examined the effect of urban characteristics of unplanned settlements on SD in the Egyptian context, focusing on the type of unplanned growth on agricultural land. The output of the analysis were fourfold. First of all, we provide a brief overview of previous research on the main types of unplanned settlements in GCMR and the sustainability definition according to the Egyptian context. Secondly, we had a discussion with the local government during our field survey in GCMR to determine the study samples, the main urban characteristics, and the sustainability evaluation criteria in the Egyptian context. Thirdly, through the comparative analysis and geographic information system (GIS), we examined how the character of urban development affected per capita four urban measures in a cross-section of two settlements, one represented the unplanned settlements and other as a comparative planned sample to determine the real gap. Finally, by using the evaluation matrix, the help and block items are estimated for each measure of urban characteristics, providing substantive evidence on how the four measures of urban characteristics have been affected by the urban sprawl.

    Since the 1950s, The Greater Cairo Metropolitan Region (GCMR) has witnessed an unprecedented rate of urban sprawl that has been mainly concentrated in arable lands against urban planning regulations, and has presented a critical challenge to the urban environment and serious corrosion for arable lands. Thus, the need to identify the driving factor of sprawl is crucial to understand the future of the GCMR urban environment and to overcome the serious challenges of rapid urbanization. We focused on the Giza governorate as a critical area in the GCMR and divided it into three sub-sectors to collect data and analyse. A primary list of driving factors was identified by literature review. Later this list was narrowed down to seven factors after interviews with local urban experts and consideration of the availability of data. Next, a logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate those factors with data derived from existing maps and remotely sensed data for the period of 2004–2013. An operating characteristic (ROC) evaluation of the logistic regression analysis gave high accuracy rates for the entire study area. The findings of the research revealed decreasing significance of the CBD and Nile River as drivers of sprawl. The most significant factors according to the analysis were neighbourhood factors, local urban centres, and accessibility factors of distances to urban uses and major roads. The research suggests more future urban expansion by the existing urban cores and along major roads, leading to more informal urban settlements. It also points to the possibility of persistent deterioration in the urban built environment and agricultural lands. Thus, these findings should be applied to actual urban planning policies, and development regulations should be strengthened to protect the urban environment from further deterioration.

    On the subject of informal sprawl in recent Egypt, this research takes Greater Cairo Region (GCR) as a case and puts forward that informal urban sprawl can be estimated from spatial disposition, informal sprawl efficacy and outer influences; and then evolves a geo-spatial indicators system for quantifying sprawl. So as to estimating these indicators, various data sources are selected, including land use maps, digitized map of the highways and town centers, and population statistical data, etc. GIS spatial analysis methods are used to spatialize these indicators into 120 m × 120 m cells. In addition, an incorporated sprawl index (ISI) is estimated by weight sum of these indicators. The results demonstrated that geo-spatial indicators system can captivate most of the exemplary attributes and interior differentia of urban sprawl. Building land in Cairo has kept quick growing with considerable amount of low efficacy and dysfunctional spatial disposition. The subsequent sprawl attributes are determined by each indicator’s exemplary spatial disposition of urban sprawling, conspicuous fragmentation and unevenness of landscape due to ineffective implementation of land use planning, improper pattern of exemplary discontinuous development, strip development and leapfrog development, low efficacy of sprawl, low development density, low population density output in newly developed areas; and unfavorable influences on agriculture and environment and population life.

    This paper examined the influences of the built environment and socio-economic driving factors on domestic gasoline consumption in developing metropolitan regions through a case study of the greater Cairo metropolitan region (GCMR), Egypt. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used in analyzing the causality of the domestic gasoline consumption. The influences of major factors hypothetically affecting the domestic energy consumption such as resident characteristics and built environment characteristics were examined. The results proved a high positive influence of the resident's income and the number of adults as driving factors, directly and indirectly, affecting energy consumption levels. Population density and attitude towards eco-friendly driving factors proved to be a very low influence on energy consumption. The built environment driving factors such as access time to public transportation and related building characteristics factors proved to have a low impact on energy consumption. The study findings suggest that the design of a built environment should be well related to the socioeconomic factors to manage the domestic energy consumption in developing regions.

    Colombo, the largest city in Sri Lanka, has expanded rapidly and continuously since the local economy was opened in the early 1980s. As a contrast to the other cities in the region, one of the main issues that planners have observed with current urbanization pattern was the slow growth of population density in the region to sustain reasonable economic growth that can support modern transportation and other infrastructure. The new Western Region Megapolis Project (WRMP) is attempting to develop a cluster of urban centers connected with modern transportation network. According to the proposed development plan, a cluster of urban centers expected to create an urban development pattern with better territorial balance. The objective of the proposed strategy is increasing the current population base by stimulating migration to the region. The plan has an ambitious goal with an estimated population of 8.5 million by 2030 with 3 million increases. The strategies proposed in the WRMP to attract population to peripheral urban centers are improving connectivity and creating job opportunities by way of increased investments. This research demonstrates a methodology to evaluate urban planning scenarios arising from policies of in the WRMA proposal using CA model and a Latin Hypercube Sample design. This method is useful in situations where the availability of reliable socioeconomic data is not available for data-intensive simulations.

    The goal of this research was simulating future urban growth of the Cairo region from 2015 to 2035, by making use of cellular automata methodology in the SLEUTH modelling. The input data required by the model, including Slope, Land use, Exclusion, Urban growth, Transportation and Hillshade which were derived from three Landsat satellite images from 1984, 2000, and 2013 according to supervised classification. Three scenarios were designed to simulate the spatial pattern of urban growth. The first scenario is Historical growth trends to simulate the persisted growth trends by preserving the existing conditions. The second is a compact growth scenario with robust restrictions on development in areas that are outside of designated growth centers. The third scenario is growth as planned officially that integrates stricter growth plans and stronger protections on natural resource lands at a level that could be realistically accomplished with strong political obligation. Calibration of the SLEUTH model for Cairo metropolitan area manifested a high road coefficient beside similar high spread coefficient, which implies that the predicted mode of growth in Cairo are road influenced growth, and edge growth.

    In Chinese universities, the current situation and protection level of historical landscapes which are composed of modern architectures are different. According to the related data, the historical landscapes of university can be classified into four types: 1) fewer buildings--small scale type; 2) traditional buildings-small scale type; 3) mixed buildings-large scale type; 4) multiple buildings-middle scale type. Thus characteristics of historical landscapes can be identified clearly, which provide references for future preservation and utilization.

    One major concern of spatial planning of cities in developing countries is lack of understanding in the spatial and temporal process of urbanization process. Patterns of urbanization reflect the historic policy outcomes, economy, geography and changes of life style. This research aims to study spatial and temporal patterns of urbanization in Yogyakarta City in Indonesia. Several attributes of urbanization process were measured using spatial metrics and GIS analysis to understand the characteristics of urbanization. Those measurements are taken from urban data sets for 1997, 2002 and 2013. Data were prepared from classified satellite images. Study was carried out for the whole city and for transect across the city to understand macro and local scale characteristics of urbanization process. Later the measurements were used to analyzed and interpreted to understand temporal and spatial urbanization process. It was observed that urban expansion process in Yogyakarta was a process with several distinctive stages.

    The Effect Factors of Built Environment on Travel Behavior and Travel Energy Consumption : A Case Study of Fukuoka City
    The goal of this study is to provide additional insights to the linkages between built environment, travel behavior(travel purpose and travel mode choice) and travel energy consumption for reducing transportation related fuel consumption and emissions. This paper applies Linear Regression Model(LRM) analysis to examine the influence of built environment attributes; "5Ds"(Density, Diversity, Design, Destination accessibility and Distance to transit) and socio-demography on non-motorized travel, motorized travel and energy consumption for five different travel purposes( work, study, business, private and return home) at both trip origin and trip destination. The analysis result shows that people travel a long distance for work and private purpose whereas for business purpose they travel a shorter distance. The result identifies that increase of travel energy consumption is mainly due to work trip. Reduction of energy consumption is found possible even though work origin is far from CBD; by promoting higher density(D 1) and better transit accessibility(D5) at work origin. Also, found that higher land use mix(D3) at work destination has no direct effect on energy consumption but has direct effects on the increase of non-motorized travel which ultimately effect indirectly on travel energy consumption reduction .

    The Effectiveness of Autumn and Winter Comprehensive Control Action on Air Pollution: Evidence from Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region 2016-2020
    The article uses the Regression Discontinuity Design to calculate the policy effect coefficients for 2016-2017, 2017-2018, and 2019-2020. The data indicates that PM2.5 and PM10 contribute the most to the reduction effect. Furthermore, a panel threshold model is used to estimate the threshold at which GDP per capita has a structural impact on air quality index (AQI) and then use the threshold to classify the 28 cities into wealthy cities and less wealthy cities. The article insists that the government should provide more economic and technical support to the less wealthy cities while maintaining the scope of the existing policy.

  • Spatiotemporal variation analysis of urban land expansion in the establishment of new communities in Upper Egypt A case study of New Asyut city

    　More details

    Language：English  

    The Egyptian government set out in the 1970s to establish new cities in the desert to absorb urban sprawl and to prevent further depletion of agricultural lands. Despite such efforts, this policy has not met with much success. In the present study, LANDSAT satellite imagery and binary logistic regression analysis were employed to investigate the nature of urban sprawl in one of the most important cities in Egypt, Asyut city, as well as the area connecting it to New Asyut city by quantifying the interaction between the driving forces of land use/cover change. Various socioeconomic factors associated with land control policy were examined. The results indicated that whereas directing urban development towards the new city created a semblance of balance initially, the rate of land development in the study area outstripped the rate of population growth, especially in the new city. While establishment of the new city boosted early urban development, further development in the regions outside the Nile valley was not sustained due to a lack of supportive governmental policies. Consequently, urban residents moved back inside the valley to re-settle on agricultural lands adjacent to the old urban cores. This study is the first to quantify the driving forces of land use in this region. It offers useful data to guide planned and purposeful expansion of urban land by government policy-makers in their effort to curb urban sprawl and prevent further encroachment on agricultural land in Egypt.

    Urbanization patterns in rapidly growing cities are complex. Such patterns reflect historic policy outcomes, economic characteristics and changing lifestyles. This research examined urban growth in Yogyakarta City in Indonesia to understand its urban expansion process. Several attributes of urbanization were measured to understand the city's urbanization pattern. Land-use data for 1997, 2002, and 2013 were derived from remote-sensing data; in addition, other supporting data of urbanization were measured with several spatial metrics. Analysis was performed for the whole city and for transections across the city to understand macro and local scale characteristics of the urbanization process. Urban land-use changes between 2002 and 2013 were studied to understand the land-use conversion process. Thereafter, the measurements were analyzed to understand temporal and spatial characteristics of urbanization in Yogyakarta City. It was observed that the urban expansion process in Yogyakarta has several distinct stages. Essentially, in the periphery of the city, urbanization has been fragmented. Over time, these fragmented urban patches develop into stable and less complex shapes.

    This paper proposes a Cellular Automata (CA) model to evaluate the urbanization patterns arising from the regulation of urban growth on paddy lands in the Colombo Metropolitan Region (CMR). Most of the historic map data available for the CMR before 1990 are temporally sporadic and spatially incomplete. As an alternative to maps, classified remote sensing data are used to analyze the urbanization process. Logistic regression is applied to derive factors of urbanization and the various relationships among them. The relation between ‘urban’ and ‘non-urban’ serves as an explanatory variable. The factors explaining that relationship are calculated by exploratory logistic regression analyses. The probability calculated from the statistical model is used for CA transition with a random number. Several growth patterns are simulated based on a range of transition thresholds to test the CA model. Status quo growth and several growth control scenarios are simulated for the period from 1987 to 2002 based on an optimum threshold. The simulation result of the status quo growth is evaluated with several evaluation methods. The level of agreement between the estimated result from the status quo model and the actual data is 62%, while the multi-scale goodness-of-fit method produces highly accurate values for the given range of resolutions.

Outline of Social Contribution and International Cooperation activities

  • International Activities
    My international activities are related to my educational activities as an associate professor at Kyushu University and as a member of various committees in academic societies and international student exchange programs. I joined the newly formed International Masters and Doctoral course of the Graduate School of Human Environment Studies of Kyushu University as an Associate Professor in March 2010. My main duty in this program is promoting the program in Asian Universities and managing the program in addition to the educational activities. During this period, I have managed to organize a series of lectures by inviting scholars from overseas universities. Those lecture series have built the foundation for much-needed international relationships for the program.
    The Department of Architecture and Planning in Kyushu University is a partner of student exchange programs with 12 partner universities from Europe, the Pacific, Korea, and Japan. I continuously worked on the organizing committee of this program representing Kyushu University. I have utilized those opportunities to introduce Kyushu University and its research opportunities to overseas universities. Department of Architecture and Planning of the Kyushu University in their international program conducts several urban design workshops with overseas universities both in Kyushu University Hakozaki campus and in foreign universities. These programs are organized and conducted by a team of professors where I was a member. In April 2017 Department of Architecture and Urban Planning started an international graduate education program under the Campus Asia Project sponsored by Japan, China, and Korea. At the moment I am a member of the international working committee planning future student exchanges and a double degree program organized in that project. In 2023 we have established the Joint Degree program with Pusan National University for Doctoral students successfully.
    Social Contribution
    My social contribution is mostly based on activities organized by academic societies and government agencies. The Asian Townscape Award is an annual award organized to recognize best practices of Asian townscape designs. This award is organized by the Asia Townscape Design Society, Asian Habitat Association, and UN-HABITAT Fukuoka office. I have worked as a judge on the selection committee for awards. In recent years there have been recommendations for the award from a wide range of Asian countries including Japan, China, Korea South Asia, and Southeast Asia. I functioned as a specialist in South and Southeast Asian cities in this selection committee.
