Decentralized Wind Energy Systems as Catalysts for Urban Resilience: A Design Framework

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Confronting the escalating extreme weather events (EWEs) and intensifying winds, this study proposes an active response to these issues by exploring decentralized wind energy production for Peng Chau Island, Hong Kong. It integrates theoretical perspectives on energy democracy—empowering local communities through energy autonomy—and urban ...

How to Approach the Definition of WUI in Northern Europe

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article aims to delineate the wildland–urban interface in the sparsely populated, limited‐resourced Scandinavian peninsula (excluding Finland). Common WUI mapping assumptions and how different thresholds capture the reality of building ignition from wildfire in this region are evaluated.

Characterisation of Hedge Burning in the Context of Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Fire Prevention

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With global warming, the wildfire season tends to get longer, causing fatalities and devastating damage to human property. Although many countries have implemented fire risk prevention measures, particularly in Wildland Urban Interfaces (WUI), this finding shows that there are weaknesses in the prevention measures. This is mainly due to a lack
