“…The study of urban morphology is essential to the study of the form of human settlements, the processes of their formation and transformation, and urban planning and design (Cirella et al, 2022;Kropf, 2009). Urban morphology refers to the physical elements that compose and shape a city, such as streets, public spaces, blocks, lots, and buildings (Osmond, 2010).…”

In the 16th and 17th centuries, under the influence of the Portuguese Empire’s overseas expansion and cultural integration, the island city of Macau became an important international trading port in the Eastern Sea, with close ties to the Asian port cities governed by Portugal. This study introduces a new method for comparing urban morphological layouts using machine learning and investigates the potential benefits of combining urban morphological analysis with machine learning techniques. In addition, a combination of urban morphology theory and machine learning is used to excise samples of urban morphology from Portuguese urban geographical information maps. The morphological characteristics of port city areas are further extracted, and training labels for typical Portuguese urban textures are established. Using the YOLOv4 object detection algorithm, the results are compared with the urban textures of typical island and port cities of the Asian Silk Road—Goa in India, Malacca in Malaysia, Macau in China, and Dili in Timor-Leste—revealing the similarities and differences among the port cities in Asia influenced by traditional Portuguese urban practices. The results reveal the relationship between maritime trade and urban form.

“…Economic transformation has led to the growth of housing in urban areas. Urban communities are persistently exposed to health, well-being, and comfort challenges (Okkels et al, 2018;Cirella, 2022). The world is becoming increasingly urbanized (United Nations Population Division).…”

WELL Building: Criteria for Residential Buildings in a Developing Country

Health, well-being, and productivity are the main notions for WELL buildings. Although the WELL building standard does exist to follow when designing a building, the concepts and elements might differ between developed and developing counties and types of buildings. However, there is a lack of knowledge on WELL building concepts and elements in developing countries and residential buildings. Thus, this study uses Malaysia as a case study to investigate the elements that affect health, well-being, and productivity (i.e., WELL) for residential buildings in a developing country. First, semi-structured interviews with built environment industry professionals and individuals living in multi-story residential buildings were carried out. Then, the interview data were analyzed using the thematic analysis technique to generate concepts and elements of WELL for residential buildings in a developing country. The analysis identified nine WELL concepts for residential buildings: air, water, fire, fitness, comfort, mind, safety & security, community, and maintenance & management. Furthermore, the nine themes consist of 53 building elements. The findings suggest three additional new WELL concepts for residential buildings in a developing country: fire, safety & security, and maintenance & management. This is the first study that evaluates the element of WELL for residential buildings that contribute to the existing WELL building standard within the context of a developing country.
