“…The United Nations Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development serves as an imperative to transform the framework of cultural heritage protection in light of the pressing issues affecting the cultural and natural heritage of today's global societies and the potential of heritage to assist in addressing these issues. Heritagewith its value for identity, and as a repository of historical, cultural, and social memory, preserved through its authenticity, integrity, and 'sense of place' -is a crucial aspect of the development process and plays a crucial role in sustainable development and urbanisation; as a fundamental asset of long-term tourism development; strengthening social fabric and enhancing social well-being, and enhancing the appeal and creativity of regions (Hegazi et al, 2022;Tahoon et al, 2022).…”

Recently, Heritage Impact Assessment (HIA) has been established as a tool for resolving issues that would promote World Heritage (WH) protection in line with sustainable development principles. The increase in HIA requests for impacted WH assets over the last several years indicates that a greater emphasis is being placed on HIA as a useful tool to aid in the management and conservation of cultural heritage against inconsistent development works. However, there was a shortage in the application of a sustainable and integrated impact assessment approach within HIA, which is a key challenge in different HIA projects. Therefore, this paper contributes to addressing the importance of integrating dimensions of sustainable development into the procedures of HIA in accordance with Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to be more holistic and sustainable. At first, a literature review was conducted to address the different procedures of HIA and how they could be integrated into a more holistic model of impact assessment that considered sustainable development dimensions. Then, AHP analysis was performed with three experts in the heritage conservation field to address the importance of each dimension within the novel model.

“…Intelligibility is a concept in spatial syntax that reflects the degree of difficulty in passing through the environment, i.e., how easy it is for a pedestrian to reach a target location from any one position throughout the street space [28] . The regression coefficient R² explains the degree of variability of Rn.…”

Traditional settlements are important material carriers of Chinese history and culture. After hundreds of years of development, the traditional settlements have survived until now, and the bottom-up construction mode reflects the most direct and original demands of the aborigines of all generations. The degree of disorder of the settlement, that is, the degree of its order, is not only the embodiment of its form, but also the concrete manifestation of its construction intention. To explore the intention behind the construction of settlements since ancient times.By using Delaunay triangulation network, street polar histogram and direction entropy, and comprehensibility of settlements, this paper quantitatively analyzes the degree of disorder in the three levels of architecture, street and local environment of the settlement. The paper, combining the background of the settlement, analyzes and compares the causes of the degree of disorder in the three levels of point, line and plane, and then explores the construction ideas of our ancestors for the settlement, so as to provide a scientific basis for the future planning of the settlements.Discovering the inherent construction principles within traditional settlements helps them maintain relative stability under external interventions. The results of disorder degree analysis serve as a benchmark for future settlement planning, contributing to the scientific basis of future decision-making.

“…Building spatial factors and their corresponding effects on occupants have been studied, particularly in indoor environments and specified spaces [109,110]. HVAC studies, from the two found articles, were focused on space heating demand estimation for buildings [111] and spatial classroom designs for naturally ventilated buildings to ventilate human bioeffluents [112]. Other studies include an impact analysis of heritage buildings in terms of socio and spatial impacts [113], a study on adaptation of autonomy systems for future smart cities for the automation of the hierarchy of needs [114] and a study on user satisfaction related to indoor spaces for terminal buildings [115].…”

The development of smart cities has led to transforming modern city operations by applying emerging technologies from the fourth industrial revolution such as the Internet of Things, BIM and machine learning. To prepare for the future development of cities, it is necessary to investigate the current status of city development, research topics and the direction toward future cities. In this study, a systematic literature review was conducted following the combination of literature review guides by Kitchenham and the PRISMA statement. The review identified 141 peer-reviewed academic papers from web-based archives, such as Web of Science and SCOPUS, that were categorized into five topics related to smart cities and urban areas. The technologies applied in the research were analyzed to determine the direction future cities should take based on current smart cities and emerging technologies that will shape individuals’ daily lives. However, it was discovered that research papers on critical areas, such as mobility and management, were lacking compared to those on building design and urban planning. This paper concludes with an example of a future urban area that has been transformed due to adoption of future mobility technology to address the shortcomings of the reviewed literature on building and urban environments.
