City vs Energy consumptions: the role of new technologies
No full textStarting from the relationship between urban planning and mobility management, TeMA has gradually expanded the view of the covered topics, always remaining in the groove of rigorous scientific in-depth analysis. This section of the Journal, Review Notes, is the expression of continuously updating emerging topics concerning relationships between urban planning, mobility and environment, through a collection of short scientific papers written by young researchers. The Review Notes are made of four parts. Each section examines a specific aspect of the broader information storage within the main interests of TeMA Journal. In particular, the Urban planning literature review section presents recent books and journals on selected topics and issues within the global scientific panorama. This contribution aims at delving into the relationship between urban environments and energy consumption. Cities consume about 75% of global primary energy and emit between 50% and 60% of total greenhouse gases. As drivers of economic and social changes, cities play a key role in reducing energy consumption and increase energy efficiency. For the first issue of TeMA Journal volume no. 16, this Review Notes section is dedicated to books highlighting the role of new technologies in managing good-quality energy data, essential to support reliable decision-makers.This contribution aims at delving into the relationship between urban environments and energyconsumption.

Usability and accessibility of urban service areas with increasing epidemics: the case of Bursa/Turkey
No full textThe concept of urban life quality, which comes to the fore with urbanization and evaluates the effects of environmental variables on the well-being of the citizens in every respect, is directly related to the quality, quantity, and sufficiency of the urban service areas of the cities. In this study, cultural spaces, open spaces, and green areas in the central district of Bursa are classified as 12 types of urban service areas were examined. Within the framework of the method setup, the existence and distribution of urban services were evaluated within the scope of pre- and post-pandemic conditions, and solution suggestions were developed to increase the quality of life. In this context, it was determined that 47 out of 136 neighborhoods did not have urban service areas, and per capita values were found to be sufficient in only 10 neighborhoods. It is seen that these 10 neighborhoods have more recreational activity opportunities compared to other neighborhoods. The systematic method in the study was created in order to evaluate it as a plan base for physical planning studies in the study area and to shed light on the development of suggestions for increasing the quality of life for each city in general
The small smart city: renewable energy sources in little town of Italy
No full textThe topic of energy has burst into the international and national scientific debate. Urban systems have taken on a fundamental role in having to support technological progress aimed at increasing renewable energy sources such as wind power. On the one hand, the scientific community has concentrated its studies on optimization models to support the energy organization of territorial contexts and on the other, on identifying optimal strategies within complex management systems. In turn, many efforts have also been made in the development of support tools for the improvement of urban energy systems to support decision-making processes. Wind energy is a valid option to improve the economic conditions in the region and reduce the environmental impact, even if the regulatory framework, especially in Italy, has shown structural deficiencies. In this direction, the work takes its cue from a scientific technical consultancy of the Department of Engineering of the University of Sannio and of the Department of Civil, Environmental, Land, Construction and Chemistry Engineering of the Polytechnic of Bari in support of the technical office of the municipality of Biccari (FG) in the definition of the guidelines for the drafting of the General Urban Plan
Combining resources and conversion factors
No full textA growing body of recent studies involves the social effects of distributive justice in the field of transportation, which mostly can be traced back to the studies of spatial mismatches, income, or gender inequality. So, this paper seeks to address challenges related to the conceptualization of capability and proposes a new aggregated framework to draw the connection between Resources, Conversion Factors, and Capabilities as the key terms of the Capability Approach. Consequently, by classifying the resources and conversion factors to "individual characteristics," "transportation options," and "urban living environment" dimensions, the model would provide an index that expresses the level of capabilities called the Capability Index (CI). The results of scenarios evaluated in this paper demonstrate that the significant difference in the capabilities is mainly affected by car ownership and income variables with 2.214 and 0.223 Cohen's d effect size, respectively. Also, disability in the young age group causes a more significant reduction in their capability index than their old counterparts. The model demonstrates the need to highlight the capability notion and the need for improving new methods to underscore human characteristics as the focal point in urban policy-making
Residential development simulation based on learning by agent-based model
No full textIncreasing population and desire for urbanization increase housing demand in urban areas and ultimately induce growth and development of residential land-uses that result in urban sprawl. This paper simulates these sprawls of residential land-use in Qazvin city based on learning method by agent-based model. For this purpose, a model with the ability to learn from agents has been developed, in which families as agents can interact with each other and learn based on previous decisions. The model makes it possible to simulate residential land-use conversion based on the agent-based structure over the ten years by applying both demographic changes and household relocation desirability. The multiplication of the average level of land occupation by each family and the number of inserted new families indicates the potential magnitude of land-use changes. Also, results show the priority of residential development locations partially in the northeast regions and a small part of the south of Qazvin. These developments are expected to move towards the east in ten years
Shifting perspectives on autonomous vehicles.
No full textIt is likely that Autonomous Vehicles will have significant social, cultural, spatial and environmental implications and that the interaction between humans, automated vehicles and physical environment will provide an array of challenges. This paper aims to explore the use of innovative visualisation approaches, to foster discussion on possible scenarios involving AVs. It is argued that such an approach might be used to help conceptualise human experiences with the potential to enhance understanding of the complex human-machine associations.
Presenting journeys from different perspectives and reconceptualising the context through the eyes of AVs emphasized the nuances of experience between the machines, urban space and human bodies. Unexpected user-technology interactions will emerge as humans are not always passive followers and can be apprehensive when it comes to accepting such a novel technology as self-driving vehicles.
The focus applied in the methodology and data capture was on inclusivity of data, showing not only movement but also noise and human experience of a space. The integration of AVs on public roads will rely on technical innovation to ensure that vehicles can operate safely yet, the study of the perceptual and ethical effects of technology and potential influences on society via engaging the public will help to manage expectations and create platforms for mutual learning. 
Well-being, greenery, and active mobility
No full textThe paper summarizes the results obtained from the action research conducted at Politecnico di Milano (2018-2020) for Milan Municipality and MM4 SpA. It is a Masterplan for reorganizing areas and public spaces along the new M4 metro line route.
The paper aims to highlight the positive effects that planning at various scales brings to the city in terms of new green areas, new spaces for inhabitants and users, and new routes to get around the city. The three concerns are at the basis of a conscious process of improvement of living conditions in the major urban areas worldwide, which are increasingly characterized not only by climate, environmental and social inclusion problems but also by health problems. Without disturbing the pandemic issue, important urban matters must be addressed from an urban health perspective to support the prevention of chronic degenerative diseases. Policies for the re-greening of the city and the extension of slow mobility routes help in this task. The paper shows how these strategic actions can be adapted to the dense and stratified fabric of Milan city to achieve and boost a model of a healthy, active, and sustainable city
