“…Compact development policy has been one of the most common forms of development that have gained attention from various perspectives by researchers and practitioners. However, making cities denser is not a win-win policy for all residents and communities' benefit [72,73]. While the effect of densification on different aspects of urban life and functions has been proved, there is no consensus on the effect of densification on urban resilience principles and factors.…”

“…Several indicators significantly influence land surface temperature (LST). LST serves as a widely used indicator for studying SUHI to the extent that numerous studies use LST interchangeably with SUHI (Lu et al, 2021a;Ghanbari et al, 2023;Hamed Fahmy et al, 2023). The indicators of open public spaces and urban density also demonstrate significant dependence and influential potential, contributing to their effectiveness (Ahmad et al, 2019).…”

Rising temperatures, a major global environmental challenge, negatively impact health, the environment, society, and the economy. Surface Urban Heat Islands (SUHI), exacerbated by urbanization and climate change, intensify vulnerabilities for urban areas and residents. Urban planning and design aime to reduce these vulnerabilities through large-scale and small-scale interventions. However, addressing the significance of the capillary effects resulting from small-scale interventions and bottom-up community engagement is important. Urban acupuncture (UA) is an emerging approach in contemporary urban planning and design that focuses on small-scale interventions to mitigate the effects of SUHIs at the community level. This study develops a framework for mitigating the impacts of SUHIs through UA implementation in urban design. The proposed framework consists of two key phases: diagnosis and prescription. During the diagnosis phase, we analyzed heat-vulnerable points to identify indicators contributing to the development and exacerbation of the SUHIs. Then, we employed the Matrix of Cross Impact Multiplications Applied to a Classification (MICMAC) technique to comprehensively assess 75 influential indicators related to urban structure across various aspects and scales, focusing on the mesoscale. Among them, 30 leading indicators were identified, of which environmental and morphological indicators emerged as significant catalysts. Moving on to the prescription phase, we developed a UA-based framework called the “5 Wh Question” which addresses five fundamental questions: why, who, what, how, and where. Our findings can provide comprehensive solutions for policymakers and urban planners to address the identified heat-vulnerable points.

“…Further, heat-resistant walking pathways are often used for outdoor activities such as commuting to work or school [63]. As it is extensively addressed and assessed in environmental planning literature [64][65][66], future study might focus on establishing an appropriate heat stress threshold for vulnerable populations, such as primary students.…”

This study investigates the influences of built environmental (BE) factors, network design, and sociodemographic factors on active school travel (AST). Although numerous studies have explored these relationships, this study is trying to assess this issue with a focus on gender differences. Data from a cross-sectional sample of children from first to sixth grades from 16 public primary schools exclusive for girls and boys (N = 1260) in Shiraz collected in November 2019 was used. The analysis of the data revealed that, on average, boys are more willing to walk than girls, but that the boys’ tendency to walk is less elastic with respect to distance. Moreover, it is shown that street connectivity for all distance thresholds has a positive relationship with walking level, but the street network choice parameter decreases the chance of walking within an 800 metre threshold. It is demonstrated the need to take gender differences into account in local planning policies to promote AST in a developing country context.
