The Kasunean River Revisited:Some Notions On The Role Of Cultural Landscape Elements In Cirebon City, West Java, Indonesia, Dini Rosmalia, Widjaja Martokusumo
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
Waterbodies are the most important landscape elements in the history of settlement formation. Since the 15th century, rivers have played a critical role in distributing logistics and have served as signifi cant infrastructure. In relation to the revitalization of heritage structures in Cirebon, the role of the river, symbolizing the source of life and fertility, has been revisited and has raised the notion of ecological concerns. The reconstruction of Lawang Sanga at the River Kasunean has unveiled the challenge of maintaining cultural landscape elements in regards to resilient landscapes. This paper argues the relation between revitalization efforts and the expanding …

The Impact Of Historical Geography And Agricultural Land Development Processes On Wetland Restorationmethods Used To Create Ecological Networks:A Comparison Of Japan And The Netherlands, Yuji Hara, Fransje Hooimeijer, Steffen Nijhuis, Maki Ryu, Arjan Van Timmeren
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
In the Osaka area in the 1880s, rice was grown mostly in dry fi elds in upland areas, and a few paddy fi elds were situated on the natural wet landforms along the major rivers and streams on the Osaka Plain. As the area developed, dry fi elds became irrigated, and the lowland fi elds were fi lled and converted to urban land uses. For the Osaka city region, developed in this historical context, an ecological network has been proposed by the national government in 2006. The proposal was partially infl uenced by ecological network planning in the Netherlands, and …

Amphibian Identity?Waterspatial Resilience Of Khlong In Bangkok, Benjamin Casper
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
More than 1.100 khlong1in Bangkok offer various opportunities for urban development. Over 2.200 km still exist in the Province of Bangkok alone. Transport and living space onthe water are foundonly along certain parts of the system as khlong are predominantly used as open sewage, drainage and irrigation system. The particular urban structure creates complementary spaces that interface water with land. This article aims to understand the logic of structural elements of Bangkok in the Chao Phraya Delta of Thailand and to change the viewpoint, to look from the water to the city. To understand the researchapproach better the water space, …
The Salt Marsh - Pier 1:Brooklyn Bridge Park, Michael Van Valkenburgh, Matthew Urbanski, Gullivar Shepard, Eric Rothstein
The Salt Marsh - Pier 1:Brooklyn Bridge Park, Michael Van Valkenburgh, Matthew Urbanski, Gullivar Shepard, Eric Rothstein
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
This article details the design and construction of the Pier 1 salt marsh in Brooklyn Bridge Park, New York City. The construction of this humble wetland signals a shift in urban park-making, as it compelsvisitors to venture and engage with the water's edge, instead of viewing it from afar, separated from the waterfront by constructed barriers. This softening of the waters' edge represents an appreciation for the value of urban nature, and makes real the notion that urban parks can be more than an escape from the city—they can be a place to enjoy nature within the city.

The Role Of Design In Creatingsustainability In Tourism Development:The Case Of Bang Saen, Thailand, Daichi Iwase
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
Tourism has become one of the largest and fastest growing economic sectors in the world, and it is predicted that the signifi cance of tourism will increase in the future. This long-term trend hasencouraged many governments in both developed and developing countries to adopt tourism as an engine of socio-economic development. The massive, rapid and promising growth of tourism provides greater opportunities for spreading prosperity but also contributes to the transformation of natural and cultural landscapes on which tourism depends. This paper will discuss the role of design in tourism development for maintaining the landscapes upon which the sustainability of …
Ecological Urban Design Visuality And Landscape, Victoria Marshall
Ecological Urban Design Visuality And Landscape, Victoria Marshall
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
This essay describes a research project that aims to shape ecological urban design practice in two Asian Mega Deltas. This is important because many important ecological concepts such as urbanheterogeneity become more abstract when considered in relation to everyday life. However, these concepts are key to meeting sustainability goals through supporting the components of resilience. The research project engages heterogeneity through the type of democratic visuality and spatial imaginary afforded by aerial photography and satellite imagery. This inter-referenced visuality, created by airplanes, satellites, sensors, interfaces, and handheld devices, is new. It operates differently from older models of cartography, map, plan …

Categorization Of Landscape Elements For Housing Development:Practitioners Perspective, Ankita Srivastava, Yogesh Kumar Garg
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
People living in urban areas have an aspiration to be in touch with nature, attractive environments, places where they can recreate, play and have leisure that enhances their health and well-being.To help achieve these desires landscape elements play a vital role and thus become an integrated part of everyday urban life. Resilient landscape can help to achieve "sustainability" at a macro level, "health" at a miso level and "well-being" at a micro level in urban areas. Most people spend maximum time at their home, experiencing various landscape elements during daily routines. These elements knowingly or unknowingly happen to be the …
Neighborhood Park For Children As A Resilient Landscape:In Terms Of Its Physical Feature, Silvia Alam, Shuahana Sharmin Choiti
Neighborhood Park For Children As A Resilient Landscape:In Terms Of Its Physical Feature, Silvia Alam, Shuahana Sharmin Choiti
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
Due to the recent apartment development pattern in Dhaka city, the residential building sites are no longer providing open spaces for children's play areas. Scarcity of open places decreases children'soutdoor activity, which causes them to suffer in terms of physical and mental health. This crisis can be mitigated by public open spaces like parks, plazas and playing fi elds. Therefore neighborhood parks as a resilient landscape can play an important role in children's social, physical and psychological wellbeing at a local and proximal scale. The success of a neighborhood park for children depends on their appearance into the park at …
Discovering Landscape Urbanism Within Resilient Landscape:Searching From Natural Setting To Structured Ground, Ayasha Siddiqua
Discovering Landscape Urbanism Within Resilient Landscape:Searching From Natural Setting To Structured Ground, Ayasha Siddiqua
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
Settlements in urban and rural areas treat landscapes differently. In urban areas within the structured layouts, the landscape is likely to be dominated by human activities; settlements in natural settingsrequire a more sensitive approach to landscapes. But in both cases landscapes are strong, driving forces to guide settlement design. This can range from details to larger arenas, direction of future requirements, adjustments to future growth, coping with probable diffi culties and providing alternate solutions. Landscape urbanism has inherited some issues and concepts derived from resilient landscapes. To search for urbanism within a resilient landscape this paper examines two distinct examples …

This article has as its objective to explain the emergence and decline of waterfront markets in the Nakornchaisri basin, Nakornpathom Province, Thailand, with a focus on spatial confi gurationcharacteristics and spatial centrality using spatial confi guration analysis and principles. The analysis incorporates the theories of natural movement, movement economy process, and spatial centrality. The space syntax program was used in the analysis to produce a spatial model map representing transportation route networks of the past and the present for comparison to determine how and why the changes occurred. The study results reveal that waterfront markets experienced three major periods of …
Lao Immigrant Cultural Adaptation In Southwestern Louisiana's Urban Landscapes, Phanat Xanamane
Lao Immigrant Cultural Adaptation In Southwestern Louisiana's Urban Landscapes, Phanat Xanamane
NAKHARA (Journal of Environmental Design and Planning)
In their 30-year history in Iberia Parish, Louisiana, Lao immigrants have continually reasserted their identity through various social, economic, and cultural modes connected to a set of embedded relationsor ecologies. A unique set of adapted spatial typologies that reinforced Lao village culture and social networks on multiple scales emerge from the translation of the ecologies. Mappings, diagrams, and photomontages help reveal these settlement patterns and adaptations of space and building types. The paper offers a framework for how contemporary cultural groups can be studied through the lens of architectural and urban design theory. It shows how social groups like immigrants …
The Influence Of National Culture On Effectiveness Of Safety Trainings During Postdisaster Reconstruction, Behzad Esmaeili, Kevin Grosskopf, Amy Javernick-Will
The Influence Of National Culture On Effectiveness Of Safety Trainings During Postdisaster Reconstruction, Behzad Esmaeili, Kevin Grosskopf, Amy Javernick-Will
Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction: Faculty Publications
Non-English speaking workers constitute a disproportionately high number of workers involved in postdisaster reconstruction. Additionally, the rate of fatality among these workers is higher than the industry average. Research shows this population is more prone to unsafe behaviors in the working environment, conceivably because many of these workers are sent into the field prior to any formalized training. Recent studies show that the native culture of construction workers can impact risk-taking behavior. While numerous researchers have attempted to develop training materials for Hispanic workers, the number of studies that consider the impact of native culture on safety behavior is minimal. …
Virtual Surface Temperature Sensor For Multi-Zone Commercial Buildings, Yuebin Yu, Denchai Woradechjumroen, Daihong Yu
Virtual Surface Temperature Sensor For Multi-Zone Commercial Buildings, Yuebin Yu, Denchai Woradechjumroen, Daihong Yu
Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction: Faculty Publications
Multi-zone structure is commonly used in small commercial office buildings, retail stores and supermarket. While there is no adjacent wall between the zones, the impact of a neighbor zone on the current zone can be approximated and analyzed through the application of virtual walls. It is critical to accurately estimate the virtual wall surface temperature in order to evaluate the model uncertainty and apply improved supervisory control on multiple rooftop air-conditioning units (RTUs). We propose an innovative virtual surface temperature sensor based on system-identification to solve this challenge. The validation of the virtual temperature model is processed by the three …

Hybrid Of Natural Element Method (Nem) With Genetic Algorithm (Ga) To Find Critical Slip Surface, Shahriar Shahrokhabadi, Vahid Khoshfahm, Hamed Nabizadeh Rafsanjani
Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction: Faculty Publications
One of the most important issues in geotechnical engineering is the slope stability analysis for determination of the factor of safety and the probable slip surface. Finite Element Method (FEM) is well suited for numerical study of advanced geotechnical problems. However, mesh requirements of FEM creates some difficulties for solution processing in certain problems. Recently, motivated by these limitations, several new Meshfree methods such as Natural Element Method (NEM) have been used to analyze engineering problems. This paper presents advantages of using NEM in 2D slope stability analysis and Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization to determine the probable slip surface and …

Reconsidering Firmitas: Durability As An Integral Function Of The Sustainably Built Environment, Katherine P. Yzurdiaga
Reconsidering Firmitas: Durability As An Integral Function Of The Sustainably Built Environment, Katherine P. Yzurdiaga
Pomona Senior Theses
Architecture is an inherently functional art – buildings have functions, some more vital than others, beyond the objective of sheer aesthetic appeal. Yet at the same time, aesthetic appeal is an integral part of the human experience that many agree is vital to sustainability objectives, including those of the built environment. Ideally, a building would be able to embody and honor both principles, both form and function, but some contend that in the current architectural climate, the emphasis on beauty has surpassed the importance placed on functionality. This discussion is particularly relevant to sustainability in the built environment: Sustainability as …
