Globalization has altered the way we live and earn a livelihood. Consequently, trade travel have been recognized as significant determinants of spread disease. Additionally, rise in urbanization closer integration world economy facilitated global interconnectedness. Therefore, globalization emerged an essential mechanism disease transmission. This paper aims to examine potential impact COVID-19 on health terms mobility, trade, travel, countries most impacted. The effect were operationalized...
All countries have suffered from the COVID-19 crisis; pandemic has adversely impacted all sectors. In this study, we examine transport sector with a specific focus on problem of commuting mode choice and propose new decision-making approach for alternative modes after synthesizing expert opinions. As methodology, customized model recently developed best–worst method (BWM) is used to evaluate mobility alternatives. The survey reflects citizens’ opinions toward choices in two Italian cities,...
Purpose The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is facing a rapid growth in energy demand mainly because factors like burgeoning population, economic growth, modernization and infrastructure development. It estimated that between 2000 2017 the power consumption has increased from 120 to 315 TWh. building sector an important role this respect as it accounts for around 80 percent total electricity consumption. situation imposing significant energy, environmental challenges country. To tackle these...
Rapid urban expansion and population growth in Saudi cities over the past four decades have increased vehicular accidents traffic congestion impacted daily walking conditions of residents. Walking has various health environmental benefits. In North American European countries, three factors been found to motivate a resident walk within their community: accessibility community social business facilities, perception willingness, safety roads sidewalks for walking. This study examined these...
The limited availability of public transportation in Saudi Arabia leads to an increased demand for private vehicles. An increase using cars does not meet the global sustainability goals, e.g., reducing energy consumption and improving air quality. Road users should be encouraged use sustainable mobility modes, particularly transportation, equally accessible both men women However, women’s has been somewhat challenged spatio-temporal terms, partly due socio-cultural barriers. This study...
Soil consumption, marked by the expansion of artificial land cover for residential, productive, and infrastructural purposes, is a concerning trend in Italy, as revealed Copernicus monitoring program. The issue exacerbated agricultural intensification urbanization, particularly affecting regions like Lombardia Piemonte. However, Sicilia, Abruzzo, Lazio experience notable increases processes abandonment re-naturalization. Data from Ispra highlights need in-depth study, especially where...
Smart, green, and resilient city paradigms have been mainly promoted through top-down technocratic approaches. However, based on the notion to return “the right city”, emerging community-driven initiatives are providing self-managed infrastructures contributing urban sustainability transitions. This paper explores relevance of behavioral aspects people-centered approaches in dealing with two different facets metabolism: physical infrastructure (involvement management decentralized...
Many techniques including logistic regression and artificial intelligence have been employed to explain school-goers mode choice behavior. This paper aims compare the effectiveness, robustness, convergence of three different machine learning tools (MLT), namely extreme (ELM), support vector (SVM), multi-layer perceptron neural network (MLP-NN) predict behavior in Al-Khobar Dhahran cities Kingdom Saudi Arabia (KSA). It uses students’ information, school grade, distance between home school,...
Making cities smart is an inherent goal and challenge for contemporary cities. This phenomenon becomes more complicated when there urgent need to adopt city principles against the backdrop of visible invisible factors that cause urban transformations with varying magnitudes. One type visibly factor e-commerce its expanding operation understood changes a city's conventional spatial structure. However, very limited research exists about momentum pervasive magnitude impact. Current literature...
With the operational advancement of e-commerce, need for retail stores and facilities in commercial cores is somewhat challenged. The shift toward virtual shopping limits physical purpose-oriented trips to prime locations. Such spaces are being replaced by warehousing, outlets, or other types storage away from downtown While a growing consensus exists support this spatial transformation, not much has been done terms an academic inquiry critical analysis nature impact physicality virtuality....
The evolution of rural settlement planning has the potential to improve regional sustainability through aligning components human ecosystems. In this study, we promoted integration in 23 communes Rehamna province (central Morocco). We assessed development four areas: location and infrastructure, resource availability, economic activity, constraints. were divided into three categories based on their occupancy levels directions: Vital Planning Area (VPA), Common (PPA), Initial (IPA)....
As many studies have already shown, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a great impact on daily routines of people all over world. University students form one most affected groups people, since they to interrupt activities that usually perform, and also get used new way learning (e-learning). An important question now arises is whether changes were identified within period are be maintained when risk being infected eliminated. To this end, 537 university Kore Enna, Italy, surveyed. Their...
Rapid population growth has led to significant demand for residential buildings around the world. Consequently, there is a growing energy associated with increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The building in arid countries such as Saudi Arabia supplied fossil fuel. existing consumption pattern of fuels less sustainable due depletion fuel resources and resulting environmental impacts. Buildings built hot climatic conditions high creating habitable indoor environments. Enormous required...
