“…Cities face a wide range of social challenges. The city develops as a unique interaction among inhabitants, contacts, social ties, and direct and indirect communication interactions, rather than just buildings, roads, parks, fences, abandoned corners, water lines, and cable networks [5]. Concern regarding social well-being becomes a crucial prerequisite for a sustainable society and city.…”

Different conflicting objectives are used in urban land use optimization problems. The maximization of social benefit is one of the important objectives in urban land use optimization problems. Many researchers have used different methods to measure social benefits in land use optimization. Studies show that there is no established method to measure social benefit in the urban land use allocation game. Against this background, this study aims to (a) identify the appropriate indicators as a measure of social benefit, and (b) propose a composite index to measure social benefit in urban land use optimization problems. Based on the literature review and expert opinion, this study identifies four indicators as a measure of social benefit. These are spatial compactness, land use compatibility, land use mix, and evenness of population distribution. Using the weighted sum approach, this study proposes a composite social benefit index (SBI) to measure social benefit in urban land use allocation/optimization problems and planning. The study suggests that spatial compactness is the most influential indicator to the SBI, but the most critical indicator is compatibility, whose 11.60% value reduction from 0.5 alters the decision of choice. Finally, the proposed method was applied in Rajshahi city in Bangladesh. The result suggests the potential of using SBI in the land use allocation problem. It is expected that the proposed social benefit index (SBI) will help the land use optimization and planning and will be helpful for decision makers.

“…According to statistics, the annual greenhouse gas emissions of the construction industry account for about 1 / 3 of the earth's basic emissions, especially in building insulation materials, the extensive use of fossil and mineral materials has caused serious ecological pollution. [1] At the same time, this kind of insulation material is not renewable, so it is difficult to recycle, resulting in a huge waste of resources. Therefore, in recent years, people begin to work hard to develop clean and sustainable new insulation materials, preparing more effective and environmentally friendly insulation system and avoiding energy waste and environmental pollution.…”

Sodium alginate and natural fiber were used as modifiers to prepare sodium alginate natural fiber type biological composites. The mechanical properties were characterized by universal testing machine, and the thermal properties were analyzed by conductivity, The effects of wood fiber and straw fiber content on the comprehensive properties of biological composite materials were evaluated by relevant instruments, and the feasibility of biological composite materials as building energy-saving wall insulation materials was evaluated. The results show that the flexural strength, compressive strength and elastic modulus of the composites increase with the increase of wood fiber content. When the wood fiber content is 100%, the mechanical properties of the sample are the best, the flexural strength is 0.573 MPa, and the compressive strength is 1.410 MPa. The results showed that wood fiber and sodium alginate binder were closely combined and had good wettability. The thermal conductivity of biological composite is 0.078-0.089w / (m · K), which means it has good thermal insula tion performance and can be used as thermal insulation material for building energy-saving wall. The results show that the properties of the composite can be improved by adding a higher proportion of wood fiber and a certain amount of glyoxal crosslinking agent.
