“…These two facts are more challenging in peri-urban contexts due to their specific structures. Shortage of water in dry season (Saeedi and Goodarzi 2018), lowering the level of groundwater (Zhang et al 2012) and increasing the risk of fire (Syphard et al 2007) are some common challenges of urban fringe in dry season while other urban fringe problems in rainy seasons are also problematic. Since hydrological networks in urban fringe are manipulated, driving rain causes massive runoff in short space of time and flow the streets and put the whole city in jeopardy (Saeedi and Darabi 2019).…”

“…Moreover, land use changes from rural and agricultural to urban could bring up a conflict between different stakeholders with different values and expectations. This could result in issues such as social conflicts, cultural change, the decline in sense of community, increasing population pressure, and urbanizing villages and polluting lands (Nallathiga et al 2017;Saeedi and Darabi 2015;Saeedi and Goodarzi 2018;Slemp et al 2012).…”

Applying ecological approach in the planning and design of urban fringe areas has gained significant attention in the current decade, and a myriad of research has been conducted using these principals. However, integrating these principles with socioeconomic criteria has been discussed loosely. This could be due to two different realms of thinking which are associated with disciplines of ecology and social-economical sciences making a successful coexistence between these them quite challenging. The purpose of this paper is to achieve sustainable built-natural environment interactions in urban fringe areas by taking socioeconomic factors along with ecological principles into account. In this study, change detection analysis from 1994 to 2016 is conducted to show the trend of urban construction and the natural environment's reaction to urban expansion. The structural elements of the urban fringe area including river systems, green patches, and landform are extracted to analyze their behavior in interaction with urban construction through looking at all segmentations of each element's continuity from north to south. Socioeconomic factors influencing these changes are also discussed and analyzed. The results show broad changes between the southern and northern parts in terms of the continuity and function of structural elements. Finally, considering structural and functional improvement potentials and restrictions, short-term and long-term strategies for rehabilitation and improvement of the structure and function of the urban fringe areas are provided.

“…With the deepening of our research, we need more accurate quantitative models to guide the practice of landscape design [14]. During campus rainwater management, it is necessary to complete a system simulation and special evaluation of rainfall, runoff, site infiltration capacity, water storage capacity [15] and water quality change [4], so that the measure's effect can be predicted. Previous studies show that EIA can explain the green space system layout for urban stormwater control [16].…”

Applying green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) to Tianjin University campus landscaping can not only reduce the negative impact of water runoff, but also improve the landscape environment for students. The campus also faces the risk of flooding, like other parts of the city of Tianjin, China. Different GSI layouts may be able to change the effective impervious area (EIA) without changing the total impervious area. Therefore, a reasonable GSI layout is critical for the efficiency of rainwater and flood management. Taking the Youth Lake area of Tianjin University as our research object, we set three scenarios separately, based on the storm water management model (SWMM), so the EIA area decreases thanks to an optimized GSI layout. Runoff and concentration models of scenarios under different rainstorm return periods were established by combining geographic information system with SWMM. Based on runoff analyses, peak discharge, peak times and the hydrological response of various drainage outlets in the diverse scenarios, we found that runoff can be reduced over 20% by only using GSI of 10 cm depth sunken green space and permeable pavement. If linear measurement of GSI such as a planting ditch, blind pipe and drainage pipe continue to be used to connect the impervious area with surrounding green space, the hydrological response will be further weakened, especially when the linear GSI is not placed parallel to the runoff direction. The same results as found by other studies leads us to conclude that following rainstorm events, upgrading weakens GSI control ability, even though GSI layout optimization was completed. We proved the key optimization strategy for GSI layout is intervention regarding runoff direction. Although campus needs a large concentrated hardened area to meet needs of students' daily activities; selection of GSI suitable for shape and location, especially using linear measures, can reduce EIA, accelerating the runoff attenuation process and reducing the campus flood risk.

“…Es abundante la información sobre la implementación de sistemas de captación de agua lluvia (Kisakye & Van der Bruggen, 2018;Saeedi & Goodarzi, 2018;Braga, O'Grady, Dabak, & Lane, 2018;Fulton, 2018), pero es escasa en el tema de análisis de la relación captación-consumo y su viabilidad de implementación. Por lo anterior, en el presente estudio se propone una metodología para estimar el volumen de captación de agua lluvia, su almacenamiento y consumo en servicios sanitarios del edificio llamado W de la UAM Azcapotzalco (ver Figura 1).…”
