Beyond Efficiency: Sufficiency Strategies for Sustainable Development in the Housing and Building Sectors

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As the housing and building sectors face the urgent challenge of decarbonization, attention is increasingly shifting beyond conventional efficiency strategies toward the principle of sufficiency. This study explores how sufficiency can reshape the housing landscape, although there is no standardized understanding of sufficiency in these ...

Evaluation of Sustainable Urban Design With a Focus on Spatial Organization and Climatic Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The urban heat island (UHI) effect increases with the growth of cities and population. This situation triggers global climate change, and cities are negatively affected by this situation. In this study, five provinces (Antalya, Gaziantep, Bursa, Kayseri, and Erzurum) located in different climate zones in Turkey were selected as samples ...

Potential applications for composite utilization of rubber and plastic in asphalt pavements: A critical review

Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering (English ed. Online)
Waste plastics and rubber have always posed a threat to the environment and a great challenge for disposal. The use of these two waste materials as modifiers for road asphalt provides new road asphalt binders and at the same time provides a new way for ...

Deflection‐based assessment of residual prestress in simply‐supported bridges accounting for creep variability

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Several test methods have been proposed in the literature for measuring the level of residual prestress, most of them involving either semi‐ or fully destructive techniques for local measurements which could be highly sensitive to boundary conditions and execution details.

Urbanisation and human activities influence the co‐occurrence of red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris and meso‐carnivores in Berlin, Germany

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban expansion is a major driver of habitat fragmentation, shrinking wildlife habitat, and restricting wildlife movements and activity patterns. In this novel environment, species must adapt to the new composition of wildlife communities. For example, red squirrels Sciurus vulgaris are commonly found in urban environments, while their potential ...

TMSA‐Net: Transformer‐Based Multi‐Scale Attention U‐Net for Flood Image Segmentation

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flood detection is essential for real‐time applications, including disaster management, emergency response, and alerting people in flood zones. For successful flood detection, accurate flood region segmentation is essential. However, the flood region segmentation is challenging due to the complex background and occlusions with debris and the ...

ALL POSSIBLE PASTS: Heritage, Simulacra, and Gentrification in Seoul

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban heritage scholars have often criticized simulacra as ‘bad’ copies that degrade the ‘good’ model of the past through commercialization and gentrification. This article challenges such Platonic dichotomies of good/bad and model/copy, arguing that the binary of good heritage and bad simulacra is flawed because heritage is itself actualized ...
