“…For the livability and sustainability of cities, urban planning and its associated transport layout have profound implications for the future of cities as well as being critical to the quality of life of their residents [60][61][62]. The development of systems that match building and transport and balance comfort and safety with accessibility is key to achieving sustainable urban development [63]. Sanitation is a social public welfare undertaking, and the number of urban public toilets reflects the level of management and civilization of the city to a certain extent.…”

With the steady advancement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), how to build a sustainable environment for human settlements has become a hot topic of research for scholars from various countries. Rational space utilization and resource allocation are the keys to enhancing human well-being and achieving sustainable human settlements. A comprehensive human settlement environment evaluation system, which includes 14 indicators from the natural environment, infrastructure, and public services, was established in this study. The results showed that the habitat suitability area only accounted for 1.61% (2.05% after removing the nature reserve) and all centered on cities and radiated to the surrounding areas. A belt-like suitability distribution pattern of “Yi Jiang Liang He” (i.e., Brahmaputra, Lhasa, and Nianchu Rivers) is formed, and a point-like suitability distribution pattern of the Chamdo Karub District, Nagqu Seni District, and Ngari Shiquanhe Town are formed. The results of the driving factor analysis indicate that the level of public health development in infrastructure and various indicators in public services are the main factors influencing human settlement. There is not much difference in the natural environment in the populated regions, so the suitability of the natural environment is not a significant driving factor. In addition, the reliability of the assessment results was verified by a questionnaire survey of residents in the three regions, and the subjective satisfaction of the residents agreed with the ranking results of the objective evaluation. The evaluation results of this study provide theoretical and directional guidance for the improvement of human settlements on the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau. It will be a useful tool for evaluating human settlements in the region and has a reference significance for the formulation of macro-policy in high-altitude regions.

“…The widely recognized positive effects of GCs includes increased security [21], better privacy [13], greater efficiency in exclusive service provision [22,23], and a stronger sense of place attachment [24]. From another aspect, GCs also offer an escape from outside pollution and vehicles [25].…”

Evaluating Accessibility Benefits of Opening Gated Communities for Pedestrians and Cyclists in China: A Case Study of Shanghai

2021

Opening gated communities (GCs) has been widely discussed for urban inclusion and revitalization. With the policies of opening GCs being promoted in China, the quantitative and comprehensive evaluation of the potential benefits is heavily needed. Taking Shanghai as an example, this study quantifies and analyzes the accessibility benefits and risks of opening GCs for pedestrians and cyclists considering two GC types, two opening levels, two travel modes, and different facilities. We found that (1) opening GCs can bring 50 m+ accessibility gains to 17% and 52% of the residents in moderate opening (MO) and complete opening (CO) scenarios, respectively. (2) Cyclists benefits more than pedestrians in all scenarios. (3) Conventional GCs have fewer benefits in MO but more in CO than newly established ones. Trips to bus stations demonstrate the largest accessibility gains. (4) The accessibility benefit of a residential building is highly determined by its closeness to the gates and relative location in the block. (5) Only 1% and 5–7% of external trips may penetrate the opened communities in MO and CO scenarios, respectively, which are far less than both the expectation and the benefits. Finally, several local design guidelines are proposed.

“…Likewise, the security in a high-rise construction is diverse and challenging, it can open one's eyes to numerous distinctive features of haven (Gregory, 2017). Furthermore, gated communities are secured and comfortable and have adequate public spaces for recreation; therefore, people are keen to walk in the community when they are not busy, which can also uphold communication among neighbors (Wang, Peng, & Chen, 2018).…”

The researcher studied and investigated the level of importance of consumers’ choice mainly price, location, safety and security, facilities and amenities, and exclusivity in the Philippines. This research was limited to 400 potential residential property buyers from any of the top 10 real estate developers in the Philippines. This study focused on 5 consumers’ choice factors mainly price, location, safety and security, facilities and amenities, and exclusivity towards purchase intention of residential property in the Philippines. Among the 5 consumers’ choice factors for buying residential property, the number one consideration is the safety and security (Mean = 5.530), followed by price (Mean = 5.488), location (Mean = 5.424), facilities and amenities (Mean = 5.266), and exclusivity (Mean = 4.983). From this study, four out of five consumers’ choice factors are rated very high important namely: price, location, safety and security, and facilities and amenities. On the other hand, exclusivity is rated of high importance in terms of buying a residential property.
