The Aspect of Mobility and Connectivity While Assessing the Neighbourhood Sustainability

Abstract

The rapid evolution of information and communications technologies has brought the potential held by urban analytics up to a higher level and thus promises more well-informed decisions, including advances in the assessment methodologies and monitoring based on existing data and its reuse. The paper provides an insight into an ongoing national research project examining the assessment methodologies and data integration for the purpose of monitoring the progress as regards sustainability and quality in urban environments. Specifically, we focus on the level of the neighbourhoods; by measuring the extent to which the built environment comprehends the required characteristics and configuration for efficiency, or contribute to quality living and sustainability. Current study covers the aspect of efficient mobility and connectivity, revealing the potential of the location-based data provided by mobile devices and associated infrastructures. While such data are widely recognised as a beneficial source of information in various fields and solid advances have been made in both analytics and modelling, little progresses has been seen in exploiting that potential as regards sustainability assessment tools. This study examines the viability of indicators addressing travel time reliability throughout the empirical testbed, exemplified by six strategic routes associated with three neighbourhoods in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The paper summarizes current progress of the study.

Designing of Wet Transformers as Artificial Soil for Flower Tree Cultivation

“…Designing of wet garbage transformers as artificial soil for flowering trees: the result study with the community requirements of designing procedure for wet garbage transformers to be applied in their own community According to the above detail, it is involving with the increasing of wet garbage quantities according to the population numbers in Municipality as the quite high level of expanding ratios in each day. On the same way, it occurred the bad smell problem and becomes as the breeding sites of diseases, such as mosquitos, mouses, flies and others, (Mongkolnchaiarunya, J., 2005; Guo, X.-X., et al, 2020) including of being affected to the environments in the area of garbage disposal, (McBride, C. S., et al, 2014;Verovšek, Špela., et al, 2021).…”

Identification and characterisation of variable rhythms using CosinorPy

“…On the other hand, parametric approaches have a much wider applicability. They can be applied to different domains even outside biology and medicine (for example, see [17]). Recent parametric approaches for identification and analysis of rhythmic data are mostly based on a cosinor model [11], and include ECHO (extended circadian harmonic oscillator) [18], COMPARERHYTHMS [19], CircaCompare [14] and CosinorPy [9].…”

Integrative Analysis of Rhythmicity: From Biology to Urban Environments and Sustainability

“…Analysis of daily traffic patterns, their rhythmicity and their changes over time can reveal modifications of the population's behaviour and their implications, even in the time of the global pandemic [14]. Rhythmicity analyses allow us to accurately assess the rhythmic trends of key performance indicators (KPIs) within urban environments and monitor and predict the consequences of specific interventions [15,16]. Moreover, today more than ever, heterogeneous types of (rhythmic) data are being acquired.…”
