“…The relationship between community safety and built environments has been a popular focus in studies of crime in the environmental disciplines [3], [10], [67], [15], [19]- [22], [26], [28], [49]. The notion that fear of crime can be `designed out', or at least its worst effects moderated by changing built environments has underpinned many policy recommendations and initiatives [8], [9], [25], [38], [40].…”

The purpose of this paper is to critically analyze the impact of the built environment on crimes related to women in the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi through a pilot study with minimum responses. The objective of the study was to examine the built environment attributes affecting the crimes related to women in NCT of Delhi and to compare the very high crime rate areas vs very low crime rate areas as per the Delhi Police crime statistics to know the basic root cause of the incidence of crimes. The methodology adopted for the study is a structured questionnaire survey and statistical data analysis. The SPSS 23 statistical package is used for this study. A total of four wards (neighbour-hoods) were selected for the present study comprising two wards from very high crime and two wards from very low crime rate districts of Delhi and a total of 80 responses were collected for this pilot study. The findings of the study also validate the perception of the residents which confirm that the lack of desirable built environment facilities lead to high crime rate in the selected wards i.e. IP Extension and MayurVihar-II, whereas the availability of adequate desirable built environment facilities precedent of low rate of crime committed against women in the selected wards i.e. Pitam Pura and Shalimar Bagh. The future scope of the study is to undertake a comprehensive study of all the attributes of built environment impacting the crime rates against women in NCT of Delhi on the basis of structured questionnaire survey (the same questionnaire has been used for the pilot survey for 80 numbers of respondents) with a sample size of 450-500 to reduce the chances of error and to generalize the findings of the study.

“…Two-step cluster analysis It is an exploratory quantitative approach which is usually used in different domains of management, social science, engineering, and other areas of research It helps in the identification of structures within the data of samples used for the analysis by performing exploratory analysis [37]- [44]. It creates groups on the basis of homogeneity exists inherently on the data strings [37], [38]. For this study SPSS 23 package used and a two-step clustering was performed on the top nine most significant attributes identified from RII [16], [45]- [47].…”

The concept of traffic congestion and traffic management is ambiguous in nature. The traffic and congestion is dependent on a number of factors that might impact the stretch of road or the framework of the traffic management systems. As the evolution of internet in last one decade and its reach to the very last person on this planet, this provides the basket of new opportunity of managing the traffic and its patterns on the basis of live traffic data from the onsite cameras, sensors, and the google maps traffic forecast the situation of traffic congestion would be avoided, which directly helps in reducing the load on environment and saving some valuable time of the commuters, and indirectly having large savings on the countries resources. In this research paper the authors have identified the factors affecting the management, flow, and working of traffic on the toll roads, national highways, and dedicated fright corridors in specific from the literature. The identified factors have been analyzed using quantitative statistical tools such as: relative importance index, Cronbach’s alpha, and cluster analysis to know the predictor importance. For this study a total of 192 valid responses were received using structured questionnaire survey. On the basis of data analysis the recommendation have be drawn and shared with the government authorities to be implemented on the highways to facilitate the commuters and all the other stakeholders associated with the traffic and traffic management. The findings of the relative importance index conclude that the most significant attributes of traffic management are No tolling for e-vehicles, use of information boards to avoid any traffic situations, and savings on fuels. Furthermore the findings of the cluster analysis concludes that the most important predictor is no-tolling for e-vehicles, followed by savings on fuels.

“…A Green Lease is a course of action in which both tenant and landlord agree to adopt environmentally sustainable development principles to ensure that the operation & maintenance of building reduces the negative effect on the environment and resource consumption. It intends to give motivating forces to both landlord and tenants in a commercial lease to reduce energy, water & raw material consumption, increased recycling, and also the utilization of feasible & sustainable materials in tenant improvement and provides an environment which encourages sustainable practices by both the landlord & the tenant [1].…”

This paper highlights the main factors which can have a positive impact on the productivity of workers within an organization. It talks about the current trends and practices followed by the organizations to improve the quality of the workplace and the need to improve the quality of workplace according to changing demands of occupiers. The study is being conducted with the help of secondary research data exploring the existing work-analysis structures, trends, practices and case studies. Qualitative research methods are used for analyses of the data: Content analysis, previously published articles and papers. In this way, new ways of producing and operating buildings and the imperatives for such a process have been analysed which can help the inappropriate level of user involvement in the building procurement process and the way these buildings and work style in these buildings are managed.
