The Impact Of Landscape Spatial Configuration And Cpted On User Satisfaction In Urban Parks Of Lanzhou City, China
(2025-02)
Hou, Fei
In the current research context, although research mainly focuses on the positive effects of urban parks on users' physical activity and mental health and the role of landscape spatial configuration and environmental design in improving perceived safety and user satisfaction, there are still obvious gaps. First, existing studies predominantly focus on urban environments in western countries, such as europe and north america, where cultural, social, and environmental contexts significantly differ from those in asian cities. This geographic bias limits the generalisability of findings to regions like china, where rapid urbanisation and unique socioeconomic structures present distinct challenges for urban park design and management. Second, crime prevention through environmental design (cpted) principles can improve the safety of public spaces. Integrating these principles with the specific landscape design and user needs of urban parks to adapt to the needs of social structures still needs to be explored. Finally, current research primarily focuses on quantitative data, with limited qualitative in-depth analysis of users’ subjective experience and perceived safety.
The Influence Of Personal, Social And Physical Environment Factors On Social Interaction Of Older Adults In Urban Parks, Anyang, China
(2025-02)
Cui, Heng
With the intensification of global population aging, the health and well-being of older adults have become a focal point of societal concern. Urban parks, as important venues for promoting social interaction among older adults, are crucial in their design and management for improving the quality of life of older adults. However, despite the broad recognition of urban parks’ benefits, there is a notable gap in research focusing on their role in promoting social interaction, particularly in asia. This study aims to explore how urban parks affect the social interaction of older adults, focusing particularly on the impacts of personal, social, and physical environment factors and park use patterns on older adults’ social interaction. The study adopts a convergent mixed-methods design, combining questionnaire surveys (n=589), non-participant observations (n=6070), and semi-structured interviews (n=13), targeting older adults aged 50 and above in anyang, china. The findings indicate that urban parks are important venues for older adults’ social interaction. Personal, social, physical, and park use pattern factors significantly influence older adults’ social interaction. Moreover, park use patterns act as a bridge in linking the impacts of physical and social environment factors on older adults’ social interaction. Furthermore, the study reveals that personal preferences, attitudes, and experiences also play a direct role in the formation and development of social activities.
The Application Of Natural Elements Green Application (Nega) Strategies Within Interior Environment In Shanghai, China
(2025-02)
Chen, Chuhan
In today’s dynamic world of technological development, running a greenoriented business for long-term survival is no longer an option, especially for construction companies to achieve long-term survival and sustainability. Identifying the drivers for the adoption of natural elements green application (nega) in interior design activities contributes significantly to ensuring sustainable firm performance in architecture. However, previous research on this topic has mainly focused on studies where architectural firms rely on a single natural element (architectural element design feature) to enhance sustainable design practices. Meanwhile, how architectural firms are stimulated to adopt nega through nega drivers (natural elements, internal drivers and external drivers) to promote sustainable corporate performance remains an under-researched area. Therefore, to address this gap, this study develops a conceptual framework based on natural resource-based view (nrbv) and dynamic capability view (dcv) to identify the factors influencing the adoption of nega by construction firms, as well as to explain how internal/external drivers affect environmental performance through nega.
Green Purchasing Adoption Of Construction Companies In Malaysia
(2025-01)
Hadi, Nurul Huda Abdul
Green purchasing is when goods and services are purchased to decrease environmental impact and achieve desired long-term goals. In the construction sector, green purchasing refers to purchase environmentally friendly items and services for construction activities. Green purchasing is gaining traction in malaysia as companies recognise their responsibility to promote sustainability, with increasing consumer awareness driving environmentally conscious consumption. This research aims to establish a green purchasing adoption framework for malaysian construction companies by determining factors influencing green purchasing (gp) adoption, examining these factors and their relationship with adoption, and investigating the moderating effect of organisational culture on this relationship. This study tested fourteen hypotheses within a model based on a literature review. An empirical assessment was conducted through a survey of 187 respondents in peninsular malaysia, analysed using ibm spss 27 and smartpls 4 software. Five of the examined hypotheses were accepted. Corporate factors, material suppliers, and expected business benefits significantly predicted green purchasing adoption, while government regulations, stakeholder pressure, top management support, and subcontractor relationships did not lead to its adoption. Partial evidence suggests that organisational culture moderates the effect of government-subcontractor relationships on organisational culture.
Parametric Design Of Tessellated Geometric Kinetic FaçAde For Daylighting And Glare Control In A High-Rise Hospital Building In Amman, Jordan
(2005-01)
Khraisat, Dima Ibrahim Abdaljaleel
Recently, kinetic facade has become a popular choice for building increasing complex and varied needs associated with user comfort. Hospital building design takes daylight and glare issue very seriously. The capacity of kinetic facades to react and adjust to changes in the surrounding environment is the definition given to them in this study. The intention of this research was to optimize the façade designs of al-abdali hospital, located in amman, to improve daylighting quality and overcome glare issue. It adds valuable knowledge to literature on kinetic façades, daylighting, and glare within the jordanian context due to mitigated glare issues while improving daylighting. Two components comprise the research: questionnaire and simulation. For kinetic facades, parametric design is created to improve glare and daylighting performance. Using the grasshopper and ladybug plugins for rhino software, parametric daylight simulation was carried out to investigate the potential of parametric design in improving daylight performance and glare. The south east and south west façade louvers of the building have three distinct light control kinetic façade parametric designs applied to it. Design 1 used a series of geometric transformations to create a pattern with a uniform array of rhombus and octagon shapes.
