The costs and benefits of providing open space in cities [PDF]

open access: yes
We use the monocentric model of a city to derive a simple cost-benefit rule for the optimal provision of open space. Although many researchers have investigated the value of open space in cities, few of them have compared it to the costs of providing ...

Towards a holistic approach of urban design. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Urban design is primarily and essentially three-dimensional design (Gosling and Maitland 1984), concerned with the shape, the surface and its physical arrangement of all kinds of urban elements; the basic components that make up the built environment at ...

Autonomous Charging and Battery Swapping for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review evaluates major autonomous charging and battery swapping methods for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) against a single question: how close each is to sustained unattended operation. Rather than ranking them by charging performance, it identifies the limitation that most restricts each method, and briefly outlines the supporting technologies ...

Can urban forests alleviate eye strain? Evidence from eye-tracking metrics

open access: yesTrees, Forests and People
With the surge in digital screen use, eye strain has become a growing public health concern. While urban forests are known to support psychological and physiological restoration, their capacity to alleviate eye strain remains underexplored.

A Distributed Multirobot Architecture for Decoupled Inspection and Localized Treatment in Precision Agriculture

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A distributed multirobot architecture enables asynchronous vineyard inspection and localized treatment through a cloud‐based mission control center. Real‐world validation demonstrates reliable coordination of heterogeneous robots, accurate disease detection, and effective conversion of georeferenced observations into targeted treatment actions ...

Management Policy of Green Open Space in Urban Area [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Part of urban space that contains crops, plants and vegetation is known as the Green Open Space (GOS). Several urban areas, with extensive changes and undeveloped land, require the City Green Open Space (CGOS), which can be a 'counterweight' to the ...

Multi‐Stage Social Value Orientation‐Based Lane‐Changing Driving for Autonomous Vehicles

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A multi‐stage SVO framework is developed to dynamically infer the social preferences of surrounding vehicles from human driving data. By combining offline learning, online SVO estimation, temporal intention tracking, and interaction‐aware planning, the framework enables autonomous vehicles to adapt lane‐changing decisions and trajectories to evolving ...

In between social engineering and gentrification: urban restructuring, social movements, and the place politics of open space

open access: yes, 2012
The article examines the emergence of urban countercultures and social movements in Christiania, Copenhagen, and Haga, Gothenburg in the context of the Scandinavian welfare state, from the 1970s to the present. Specifically, it investigates the relations

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...
