This research addresses a research gap dealing with blue-ways and healing landscape. Mental health is the control point of human behaviors so there is a great need to draw the design process for the improvement of mental health.In a deep search to get new landscape design elements as a design for mental health strategy, the notion of blue-ways under the umbrella of healing landscape comes to light. This research discusses how to use the blue-way system as a tool to improve human mental health and achieve the blue mind effect using healing landscape design attributes and offers an applied framework for the land-based experience of a healing blue-way utilizing those attributes.
This research is focused on a modern technique and offers a framework that maximizes the concept of the efficient landscape that focused on microalgae technology. Industrial areas have become a threat to most of the countries; particularly unused industrial areas represent a wide area. as a result, it has become a time bomb, so scientists and designers have gone to search for the most efficient ways of using green microalgae to solve this issue and combine it with the elements of landscape features where green microalgae can be grown within open ponds (Open Race Way Ponds) in the industrial areas to become a tool with two advantages: organic green fuel (Productive Landscape),also algae represents an aesthetic view through the various green color tones and movement of microalgae in its various colors drawing a rainbow on the ground and you will saw it on its natural green radiation at night (Natural Green (Nightscape)). All of this needs wastewater or salty water and carbon dioxide, solar radiation as inputs for algae breeding, i.e. waste transfer to useful urban potentials (Positive to Negative and thus the industrial spaces will be converted to human spaces and this represent the main objective for the research that radiate vitality day and night and become a source of oxygen, where algae produce 6 times the oxygen of trees. Through this research, a framework will be presented to use these strains in the spaces of industrial areas as a new approach in the landscape trends and theme.
This paper presents a framework and analytical studies to evaluate the impacts of airport locations on the surrounding urban area and land uses. This work is based on reviewing the impacts of some international airports on land uses and compared them with those of Hurghada International Airport in Egypt. The description of land use surrounding Hurghada International Airport was obtained from the general strategic plan for Hurghada City in 2015-2027, prepared by the General Authority for Urban Planning (GAUP). Compatibility factors that were used for evaluating the development of land use around airports are generally presented, as well as the criteria of these factors. Two main compatibility factors were applied, namely noise and safety, but the safety factor was applied only from a land-use point of view. The results of the present study indicated that some land uses are incompatible with the noise factor as well as other uses are incompatible with the safety factor in terms of the type of land use. For unused areas, the permitted and prohibited uses are mentioned relative to the location of each area within its safety zone.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
