Description:
The ongoing development of landslide prone regions increases future potential losses caused by landslide occurrence. The first step towards landslide mitigation on a regional scale is a susceptibility assessment. This study focuses on the area surrounding the regional capital of Zlín, in the Outer Western Carpathians. The city is located in the flysch highlands. Statistical analysis of the distribution of landslide scarps was undertaken in relation to various preparatory factors (geology, slope angle, slope aspect, slope curvature, distance from closest stream). This analysis provided insights into the main initiating factors and allowed our results to be compared with other studies in similar regions. Thereafter, a regional landslide susceptibility assessment was undertaken. The model performance was evaluated with respect to the landslide information used during its preparation and with a separate validation dataset. The results show that the main predisposing factors are the claystone rich bedrock unit, thick accumulations of slope sediments, and slope angles between 10° and 15°. The possible application of the presented results for urban planning purposes is also outlined., Jan Klimeš and Roman Novotný., and Obsahuje bibliografii

Language:

Description:
This paper analyses rent-based determinants of earthquake damage from an urban planning perspective with the data gathered from Adapazari, Turkey, after the disaster in 1999 Eastern Marmara Earthquake (EME). The study employs linear regression, log-linear regression, and artificial neural networks (ANN) methods for cross-verification of results and for finding out the significant urban rent attribute(s) responsible for the damage. All models used are equally capable of predicting the earthquake damage and converge to similar results even if the data are limited. Of the rent variables, the physical density is proved to be especially significant in predicting earthquake damage, while the land value contributes to building resistance. Thus, urban rent can be the primary tool for planners to help reduce the fatalities in preventive planning studies.

7. The The Development of New-Style Public Rental Housing in Shanghai

Subject:
public housing, housing policy, urban development, and Shanghai
Language:
English
Description:
This paper studies the roles of the new-style PRH (public rental housing) programme in Shanghai’s socio-spatial dynamics. It shows that the development of PRH in Shanghai is mainly a result of a deliberate ur-ban development policy in line with other strategies such as city marketing and gentrification. The analysis is augmented with data from a questionnaire survey of PRH tenants in Shanghai. Finally, this paper identifies challenges for the future development of the public rental housing sector in China.
