Residents’ Social Interactions in Market Square and Its Impact on Community Well-Being

“…In view of this, urban designers are encouraged to achieve the strategic sustainable planning for long-term vision. This is considered as the important indicators to achieve the high level of human life and users' satisfaction (Nikoofam & Mobaraki, 2016 From Figure 5, it could be deduced that long interaction (20-30 minutes) was observed between Yoruba and Hausa, Igbo and Hausa in Ijebu-jesa market.

Improving Passive Solar Housing Design to Achieve Energy Efficiency; Case Study: Famagusta, North Cyprus

“…Passive solar heating system, natural cooling techniques and systems for natural lighting are three categorizes of passive solar systems to create comfortable indoor temperature, and optimize energy consumption. Besides, the domestic sectors are using more than 45 percent of the total energy demand thus applying passive solar energy strategy in design can decrease energy consumption, and cost of energy as well [2,3,4]. The research is defined various strategies can be applied to enhance passive solar housing design in order to improve the quality of housing in respect of the future generation requirements of energy.…”

Urban Growth, Liveability and Quality Urban Design: Questions about the efficacy of urban planning systems in Auckland, New Zealand

“…These arguments are key to underpinning urban growth management plans in many cities across Australia, New Zealand and North America 13 including the cities of Auckland, Melbourne, Brisbane, Portland and Vancouver (cf. Auckland Council, 2012;Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure, 2002;Department of Infrastructure and Planning, 2009;Metro Portland, 2012;Nikoofam, & Mobaraki;Metro Vancouver, 2010).…”
