How sustainable is electric vehicle adoption? Insights from a PRISMA review
电动汽车普及的可持续性如何?基于PRISMA综述的见解
【摘要】
The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) for personal passenger transportation in cities is increasingly impacting our society and environment, offering benefits such as reduced tailpipe emissions and noise pollution. However, while the existing literature predominantly concentrates on technological advancements and environmental benefits, there are emerging undesirable side effects that, if left unaddressed, may undermine the overall sustainability of urban mobility. The objective of this study is to identify the externalities associated with increased EV adoption in urban environments and to propose mitigation strategies that assist individuals and policymakers in making informed decisions about electric mobility choices. Therefore, a systematic literature review following the PRISMA protocol is performed to consolidate previous research on the externalities of increased EV adoption in urban environments and explore mitigation strategies. The analysis reveals that EV adoption: amplifies transport-related social inequalities; contributes to natural resource and habitat degradation; requires substantial charging infrastructure and power network investments, which necessitates mitigation strategies to extend beyond technical advancements, emphasising a shift from personal to public and shared transportation. The study findings offer invaluable insights for policymakers and scholars alike, underscoring the necessity for comprehensive urban mobility concepts that encompass sustainable passenger transportation modes and active government and citizen participation.

A review of reflected sunlight from buildings: problems and challenges
建筑物反射阳光的综述:问题与挑战
【摘要】
With the rapid development of urbanization and building technologies, reflective materials such as glass curtain walls and cool walls have been increasingly utilized, significantly impacting both indoor and outdoor lighting and thermal environments. This paper reviews studies related to the reflected sunlight from buildings on thermal performance and visual comfort, covering research methodologies and evaluation approaches. It compares the application of cool materials on roofs and façades; design strategies are proposed for urban planning and building design. The review reveals that numerical simulations have been widely employed in studies concerning outdoor reflected sunlight. However, there remains a lack of standardized evaluation criteria for outdoor lighting and thermal environments. The general conclusions regarding the impact of cool walls on building thermal loads and outdoor temperatures are still ambiguous, and systematic research on mitigating outdoor reflective radiation in urban planning and management is limited. Based on the review of existing studies, this paper proposes the challenges posed by reflected sunlight and provides theoretical foundations and practical guidance for building design and urban planning. This review paper is expected to contribute considerable significance for improving urban lighting environment and thermal comfort.

Multi-objective energy management using a smart charging technique of a microgrid with the charging impact of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles
基于智能充电技术的微电网多目标能源管理及插电式混合动力电动汽车充电影响研究
【摘要】
The Microgrid (MG) concept is being developed to better integrate renewable energy sources and automate distribution networks. Microgrids combine distributed generating units (DGs) and energy storage systems to achieve this. This research paper aims to simultaneously minimize the daily operational cost and net environmental pollution of a small MG system, factoring in the charging demand from Plug-in-Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) and consumer load demands. The proposed energy management process not only minimizes operational costs and emissions, but also determines the optimal battery size for the energy storage system. The analysis also explores the importance of two critical variables - the operation and maintenance costs of the DGs, and the total daily cost of the battery energy storage system. The demand for PHEV charging is managed using an intelligent charging approach. Given the complexity of the optimization, a recently developed metaheuristic algorithm, Slime Mould Algorithm (SMA), is applied. The performance of SMA is compared against the Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm and Sine Cosine Algorithm. To solve the multi-objective problem, a weighted sum method maintaining non-dominance and a fuzzy decision-maker technique are employed alongside the suggested algorithms. Three different scenarios verify the proposed method's effectiveness.

微电网(Microgrid, MG)概念正在发展,以更好地整合可再生能源和自动化配电网络。微电网结合了分布式发电单元(DGs)和储能系统来实现这一目标。本研究旨在同时最小化小型微电网系统的日常运营成本和净环境污染,同时考虑插电式混合动力电动汽车(PHEVs)的充电需求和消费者负荷需求。所提出的能源管理过程不仅最小化运营成本和排放,还确定了储能系统的最佳电池容量。分析还探讨了两个关键变量的重要性——分布式发电单元的运营和维护成本,以及电池储能系统的每日总成本。PHEV充电需求通过智能充电方法进行管理。鉴于优化的复杂性,采用了最近开发的元启发式算法——粘液模算法(Slime Mould Algorithm, SMA)。SMA的性能与蚱蜢优化算法(Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm)和正弦余弦算法(Sine Cosine Algorithm)进行了比较。为解决多目标问题,采用了保持非支配性的加权和方法以及模糊决策技术,辅以所建议的算法。通过三种不同的情景验证了所提出方法的有效性。

Non-locality and spillover effects of residential flood damage on community recovery: Insights from high-resolution flood claim and mobility data
住宅洪水损害对社区恢复的非局部性与溢出效应:基于高分辨率洪水理赔与移动数据的见解
【摘要】
Examining the relationship between vulnerability of the built environment and community recovery is crucial for understanding disaster resilience. Yet, this relationship is rather neglected in the existing literature due to limitations in the availability of empirical datasets needed for such analysis. In this study, we combined fine-resolution flood damage claim data (composed of both insured and uninsured losses) and human mobility data (composed of millions of movement trajectories) during the 2017 Hurricane Harvey in Harris County, Texas, to specify the extent to which vulnerability of the built environment (i.e., residential flood damage) affects community recovery (based on the speed of human mobility recovery) locally and regionally. We examined such relationship using spatial lag, spatial reach, and spatial decay models to measure the extent of spillover effects of residential flood damage on community recovery. The results indicate that: first, the severity of residential flood damage significantly affects the speed of community recovery. A greater extent of residential flood damage suppresses community recovery not only locally but also in the surrounding areas; second, the spillover effects of residential flood damage on community recovery decay with distance from the highly damaged areas with a spatial reach of up to 31.2 miles (49.92 Km); third, areas display heterogeneous spatial decay coefficients, which are associated with urban form and structure features such as the density of facilities and roads. These findings provide a novel data-driven characterization of the spatial spillover effects of residential flood damage on community recovery and move us closer to a better understanding of complex spatial diffusion processes that shape community resilience to hazards. This study also provides valuable insights for emergency managers and public officials seeking to mitigate the non-local effects of flood damage.

研究建成环境脆弱性与社区恢复之间的关系对于理解灾害韧性至关重要。然而,由于缺乏进行此类分析所需的实证数据集,这一关系在现有文献中较为被忽视。在本研究中,我们结合了2017年德克萨斯州哈里斯县飓风哈维期间的高分辨率洪水损害理赔数据(包括有保险和无保险的损失)以及人类移动数据(由数百万移动轨迹组成),以明确建成环境脆弱性(即住宅洪水损害)在本地和区域范围内对社区恢复(基于人类移动恢复速度)的影响程度。我们采用空间滞后、空间影响范围和空间衰减模型来衡量住宅洪水损害对社区恢复的溢出效应程度。研究结果表明:
(1)住宅洪水损害的严重程度显著影响社区恢复的速度。较大范围的住宅洪水损害不仅在本地抑制社区恢复,也影响周边地区的恢复;
(2)住宅洪水损害对社区恢复的溢出效应随着距离高损害区域的远近而衰减,其空间影响范围可达31.2英里(49.92公里);
(3)不同区域显示出异质的空间衰减系数,这与城市形态和结构特征(如设施和道路的密度)相关联。
这些发现提供了一种基于数据的新颖方法,描述了住宅洪水损害对社区恢复的空间溢出效应,并帮助我们更好地理解塑造社区韧性复杂的空间扩散过程。本研究还为应急管理人员和公共官员提供了宝贵的见解,以期减轻洪水损害的非局部效应。

Healthy urban blue space design: Exploring the associations of blue space quality with recreational running and cycling using crowdsourced data
健康城市蓝空间设计:利用众包数据探索蓝空间质量与休闲跑步和骑行的关联
【摘要】
Urban blue space offers substantial health benefits by encouraging population physical activity. Despite much evidence on the nature-health nexus, the relationship between blue space and recreational exercises remains under-studied, limiting the realisation of health benefits in blue space design. Using crowdsourced data, including volunteered geographic information and street view image data, this study investigates the associations of blue space quality with recreational running and cycling in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Results show that recreational exercise levels on street segments vary based on the blue space type and design. Compared to inland canals and rivers, small-scale recreational waterbodies are more conducive to running but not cycling, while both activities tend to cluster around the Nieuwe Maas River. Interestingly, the Water View Index shows a general negative association with both activities after adjusting for the blue space type. Besides the waterbody characteristics, eye-level environmental factors, including higher Green View Index, lower building density, more diverse land use, greater connected street network and fewer traffic elements, are associated with more running and cycling exercises. Results for visual complexity and neighbourhood population composition are mixed depending on the exercise type. These findings are further translated into spatial design patterns for developing exercise-supportive and health-promoting blue spaces.

城市蓝空间通过鼓励居民进行身体活动,提供了显著的健康益处。尽管关于自然与健康关系的证据众多,但蓝空间与休闲运动之间的关系研究仍然不足,这限制了在蓝空间设计中实现健康益处的可能性。本研究利用众包数据,包括志愿地理信息和街景图像数据,探讨了荷兰鹿特丹蓝空间质量与休闲跑步和骑行之间的关联。结果显示,不同类型和设计的蓝空间对街段上的休闲运动水平有不同的影响。与内陆运河和河流相比,小规模的休闲水体更有利于跑步,但对骑行则不然,而这两种活动往往集中在Nieuwe Maas河周围。有趣的是,在调整蓝空间类型后,水景指数与这两种活动均呈现总体负相关。除了水体特征外,眼平环境因素,如较高的绿视指数、较低的建筑密度、更为多样化的土地利用、更连通的街道网络和较少的交通元素,均与更多的跑步和骑行活动相关。视觉复杂性和社区人口组成的结果因运动类型而异。这些发现进一步转化为空间设计模式,用于开发支持运动和促进健康的蓝空间。

Enhanced modeling of vehicle-induced turbulence and pollutant dispersion in urban street canyon: Large-eddy simulation via dynamic overset mesh approach
城市街峡中车辆引发的湍流与污染物扩散的增强建模:基于动态叠加网格方法的大涡模拟
【摘要】
This study presented a novel application of large-eddy simulation (LES) with a dynamic overset mesh approach to simulate vehicle-induced turbulence in a two-dimensional street canyon. The simulation incorporated moving vehicle entities to emulate two-way traffic, with each vehicle equipped with a pollutant source to simulate pollutant dispersion. Comprehensive long-term statistical analyses were conducted to compare the simulated turbulence with those produced by the conventional approach (where vehicle-induced momentum was not considered) and the quasi-steady method (where vehicle motion was simplified as momentum sources). The results revealed that the presence of moving vehicle entities significantly distorted the primary circulation within the canyon, altering the transport pathways of both lateral momentum and air pollutants. The motion of vehicle entities also induced a substantial amount of turbulence, resulting in different pollutant removal mechanisms at the top of the canyon. The ensemble-average analysis revealed a downwash followed by an upwash within a cycle of vehicle movement, which largely contributed to momentum and pollutant transport. These findings underscored the need for considering the moving entities in LES approaches to enhance vehicle-induced turbulence modeling. Other factors influencing the simulation were discussed, aiming to guide more accurate and reliable turbulence modeling in urban environments.

本研究提出了一种新颖的大涡模拟(Large-Eddy Simulation, LES)应用,采用动态叠加网格方法(dynamic overset mesh approach)来模拟二维街峡中车辆引发的湍流。模拟中引入了移动车辆实体,以仿真双向交通,每辆车配备了污染源以模拟污染物扩散。进行了全面的长期统计分析,将模拟的湍流与传统方法(未考虑车辆引发的动量)和准稳态方法(将车辆运动简化为动量源)产生的湍流进行了比较。结果表明,移动车辆实体的存在显著扭曲了峡谷内的主循环,改变了横向动量和空气污染物的传输路径。车辆实体的运动还引发了大量湍流,导致峡谷顶部的污染物去除机制不同。集合平均分析显示,在车辆运动周期内出现了下冲流和上冲流,这在很大程度上促进了动量和污染物的传输。这些发现强调了在LES方法中考虑移动实体以增强车辆引发的湍流建模的必要性。还讨论了影响模拟的其他因素,旨在指导更准确和可靠的城市环境湍流建模。

Energy management based on coalitionnal game subdivision applied to energy communities
基于联合博弈细分的能源管理在能源社区中的应用
【摘要】
The energy transition requires rethinking how we produce and consume energy. Energy communities (EC) provide a recent legal framework for sharing energy, aiming to reduce energy bills and the environmental footprint of their participants. One of the challenges is adapting economic models to this technological upheaval. In this context, cooperative games, based on game theory, are valuable tools for modeling energy management through cooperation. However, despite their promising characteristics, cooperative games are limited by their computational complexity. The required computation time to solve cooperative games increases exponentially with the number of participants, restricting their application in energy management. This paper aims to propose a solution to apply cooperative game theory tools to larger communities using a multidisciplinary approach. For this purpose, a game subdivision approach based on the specific properties of energy communities is proposed. This methodology will be shown to be efficient in terms of computation time. While the game theory concepts are depreciated by limiting computing time, the sub-games method can become an interesting tool in energy management. Advantages and drawbacks in terms of energy management and game theory are discussed in this paper.

能源转型要求我们重新思考能源的生产和消费方式。能源社区(Energy Communities, EC)提供了一个最新的共享能源法律框架,旨在减少参与者的能源账单和环境足迹。其中一个挑战是将经济模型适应这一技术变革。在此背景下,基于博弈论的合作博弈是通过合作进行能源管理建模的有价值工具。然而,尽管合作博弈具有前景,但其计算复杂性限制了其应用。解决合作博弈所需的计算时间随着参与者数量的增加呈指数增长,限制了其在能源管理中的应用。本文旨在通过多学科方法提出一种将合作博弈论工具应用于更大社区的解决方案。为此,提出了一种基于能源社区特定属性的博弈细分方法。该方法在计算时间方面将被证明是高效的。虽然博弈论概念由于限制计算时间而受到削弱,但子博弈方法可以成为能源管理中的一个有趣工具。本文讨论了在能源管理和博弈论方面的优势和缺点。

Large language model as parking planning agent in the context of mixed period of autonomous vehicles and Human-Driven vehicles
大型语言模型作为自动驾驶与人工驾驶车辆混合时期的停车规划代理
【摘要】
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are anticipated to revolutionize future transportation, necessitating updates to traffic infrastructure, particularly parking facilities, due to the unique characteristics of AVs compared to Human-Driven Vehicles (HDVs). During the transition period in which AVs and HDVs coexist, adaptable infrastructure is essential to accommodate both vehicle types. Traditional research, typically reliant on complex mathematical models and simulations, faces challenges in adapting to diverse urban settings, requiring substantial time and resources. To address these challenges, a government-level framework was developed, enabling urban planners to quickly and accurately evaluate and optimize existing parking facilities for future AV and HDV coexistence scenarios. The framework integrates a Large Language Model (LLM) to enhance flexibility and efficiency in parking planning throughout the transitional period. Structured guidance is incorporated to enhance decision-making precision and reduce LLM hallucination risks. The flexibility, robustness, and accuracy of the framework were validated through step-by-step and end-to-end testing using real-world datasets. Specifically, the framework achieved 91.1 % comprehensiveness and 70.2 % consistency in Indicator Selection Module testing, a 68.9 % success rate in the Single Indicator Calculation Module, and a 66.7 % success rate in end-to-end testing, demonstrating its practical value in supporting cities during AV integration. Finally, the success rates of different LLM agent modules were further explored, along with a comparison of multiple LLMs and an analysis of key issues related to LLM trustworthiness in urban planning applications. The research highlights the potential of LLMs in advancing urban planning processes and optimizing existing infrastructure, contributing to smarter and more adaptable urban environments.

自动驾驶汽车(Autonomous Vehicles, AVs)预计将彻底改变未来的交通方式,由于AVs相较于人工驾驶车辆(Human-Driven Vehicles, HDVs)具有独特的特性,这将需要更新交通基础设施,尤其是停车设施。在AVs与HDVs共存的过渡时期,可适应的基础设施对于容纳这两种车辆类型至关重要。传统研究通常依赖复杂的数学模型和模拟,在适应多样的城市环境时面临挑战,需要大量的时间和资源。为了解决这些问题,开发了一个政府级框架,使城市规划者能够快速且准确地评估和优化现有停车设施,以适应未来AV与HDV共存的情景。该框架整合了大型语言模型(Large Language Model, LLM),以提升在过渡期间停车规划的灵活性和效率。结构化指导被纳入其中,以增强决策的精确性并降低LLM幻觉(hallucination)的风险。通过使用现实世界数据集进行逐步测试和端到端测试,验证了该框架的灵活性、鲁棒性和准确性。具体来说,该框架在指标选择模块测试中达到了91.1%的全面性和70.2%的一致性,在单一指标计算模块中成功率为68.9%,在端到端测试中成功率为66.7%,展示了其在支持城市AV整合过程中的实际价值。最后,进一步探讨了不同LLM代理模块的成功率,并比较了多种LLM,分析了与城市规划应用中LLM可信度相关的关键问题。研究强调了LLMs在推进城市规划过程和优化现有基础设施方面的潜力,有助于构建更智能、更具适应性的城市环境。

Air quality improvement at urban bus stops: Optimal air purification placement using CFD
城市公交车站空气质量改善:利用计算流体力学优化空气净化设备的布置
【摘要】
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) levels are often elevated near roadways due to vehicle emissions, while sulfur dioxide (SO2) is predominantly found near petrochemical complexes as a result of industrial activities such as oil refining and chemical manufacturing. Considering the detrimental effects of these emissions on the environment and human health, the optimal placement of air purification systems at two bus stops in Ulsan, a heavily industrialized city in South Korea, was investigated in this study to reduce NO2 and SO2 concentrations. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations were performed to identify strategic installation locations, resulting in a significant reduction in pollutant levels. The largest impact was noted for the Deokha Market bus stop, whereby the added health risk (AR) decreased by 1.93 % and the exposure reduction effectiveness (ERE), a measure of air purification system efficiency, increased by 13.8 %. Similarly, at the Hyomun Intersection bus stop, placing the system near the sidewalk led to a significant reduction in AR by 1.60 % and an increase in ERE by 11.63 %. Additionally, air purification systems at Ulsan bus stops are expected to reduce NO2 levels by 9.1 ppb, decreasing mortality risk by 1.44 %, saving 7 lives annually, and yielding an economic benefit of 33.06 million USD.

由于车辆排放,氮氧化物(NO₂)浓度通常在道路附近升高,而二氧化硫(SO₂)主要在石化综合体附近发现,这是由于炼油和化学制造等工业活动所致。考虑到这些排放对环境和人类健康的有害影响,本研究在韩国重工业城市蔚山的两个公交车站进行了空气净化系统的最优布置,以减少NO₂和SO₂的浓度。通过计算流体力学(CFD)模拟,确定了战略性安装位置,从而显著降低了污染物水平。对德河市场公交车站的影响最大,健康风险增加率(AR)减少了1.93%,而空气净化系统效率的衡量指标——暴露减少效果(ERE)提高了13.8%。同样,在孝文交叉口公交车站,将系统安装在靠近人行道的位置,使AR显著减少了1.60%,ERE增加了11.63%。此外,蔚山公交车站的空气净化系统预计将NO₂浓度降低9.1 ppb,减少1.44%的死亡风险,每年可挽救7条生命,带来3306万美元的经济效益。

Scale effect on the relationship between urban landscape patterns and land surface temperature
城市景观格局与地表温度关系的尺度效应
【摘要】
Great efforts have been made to examine the linkages between land surface temperature (LST) and urban landscape patterns (ULPs), which, however, focus on a single spatial scale and linear relationships. This study aims to examine the influence range of four key ULP indicators on LST, namely the sky view factor (SVF) and three indices of built-up area, greens, and blue spaces. The analyses are conducted at the street block level in 38 big cities in China and leverage a multiscalar approach to investigate change patterns of indicators within multiple buffer zones and identify the buffer distance that yields the greatest influence. Results reveal that (1) the greatest local impacts are produced within 0 − 150 m buffer zones in most cities for all key ULP metrics; (2) the maximum impacts of most indicators in summer are greater than in other seasons; and (3) the influence magnitude of key ULP indicators increases after considering the scale effect, and the influence of SVF varies significantly across cities. Results suggest that the consideration of maximum influence ranges of ULP indicators can better explain LST spatial variations. Our findings offer evidence on the local impact of ULPs on LST and contribute to urban design in urban heat mitigation.

在研究地表温度(LST)与城市景观格局(ULPs)之间的联系方面,尽管做出了巨大努力,但这些研究通常集中在单一空间尺度和线性关系上。本研究旨在考察四个关键ULP指标对LST的影响范围,即天空视角因子(Sky View Factor, SVF)以及建筑区、绿地和蓝空间的三个指数。分析在中国38个大城市的街区级别进行,采用多尺度方法研究多个缓冲区内指标的变化模式,并确定产生最大影响的缓冲距离。结果显示:(1) 在大多数城市中,所有关键ULP指标在0-150米的缓冲区内产生最大的局部影响;(2) 大多数指标在夏季的最大影响大于其他季节;(3) 在考虑尺度效应后,关键ULP指标的影响幅度增加,且SVF的影响在不同城市间显著不同。结果表明,考虑ULP指标的最大影响范围可以更好地解释LST的空间变化。我们的研究结果提供了ULP对LST的局部影响证据,并为城市热缓解中的城市设计提供了参考。

A tri-level hybrid stochastic-IGDT dynamic planning model for resilience enhancement of community-integrated energy systems
增强社区集成能源系统韧性的三层级混合随机-IGDT动态规划模型
【摘要】
In this paper, a resilience-oriented dynamic planning framework is developed for optimal sizing of the community-integrated energy system components, including photovoltaic system, wind turbine, boiler, power to gas technology, combined heat and power, and storage devices. The proposed framework is formulated as a tri-level linear programming that performs Community-Integrated Energy Systems design under normal conditions at the first level while evaluating system operation during disastrous conditions at the second level. In the third level, re-planning is done based on information-gap decision theory to enhance community-integrated energy systems’ resilience against various natural disasters. Stochastic programming is also employed at all levels to address the uncertainty of electricity market price, energy demand, solar radiation, and wind speed. A detailed P2G system including, a methanation device, electrolysis, and hydrogen storage is designed to improve the resilience of the system. In addition, the power to gas proposed in this model is coupled with a carbon capture unit to mitigate carbon emission by reusing emitted carbon from the flue gas of the boiler and combined heat and power. Various economic metrics and technical constraints are also considered to achieve a realistic design. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the positive interplay of renewable energy resources and energy storage technologies, specifically P2G, assisted the CIES in maintaining a stable and uninterrupted energy supply during extreme events. The results exhibit that increasing only 10 % of the resilience budget can decrease >93 % of unserved demand and helps reduction of >37 % of carbon emissions.

Climate adaptation strategies for active transportation: Barriers and facilitators in U.S. cities
主动交通的气候适应策略:美国城市中的障碍与促进因素
【摘要】
Despite efforts to mitigate climate change by promoting active travel, limited research has focused on climate adaptation for active transportation (CAAT) initiatives. To address this gap, we conducted a qualitative study based on interviews with 30 planning professionals to uncover what CAAT projects U.S. cities are implementing, their barriers, and their facilitators. We found that U.S. cities are increasingly implementing CAAT projects such as street trees and green stormwater infrastructure to address threats like extreme heat and pluvial flooding. Importantly, CAAT projects require collaborations between city departments (e.g., transportation and forestry). We also identified a complex network of barriers and facilitators shaping CAAT project implementation. Funding, politics, laws, and cross-department collaborations can be barriers and facilitators, and supportive (or unsupportive) politics and laws are strongly connected. Additionally, underserved communities face unique barriers to implementing CAAT projects, but recent facilitators such as dedicated funding have contributed to equitable investment.

尽管通过促进主动出行来减缓气候变化的努力不断增加,但针对主动交通(CAAT)气候适应倡议的研究仍然有限。为填补这一空白,我们基于对30位规划专业人士的访谈进行了定性研究,以揭示美国城市正在实施哪些CAAT项目、面临的障碍以及促进因素。我们发现,美国城市正越来越多地实施诸如街道树木和绿色雨水基础设施等CAAT项目,以应对极端高温和短时强降雨等威胁。重要的是,CAAT项目需要城市各部门(例如交通部门和林业部门)之间的合作。我们还确定了影响CAAT项目实施的复杂障碍和促进因素网络。资金、政治、法律以及跨部门合作既可以是障碍也可以是促进因素,支持性(或不支持性)的政治和法律密切相关。此外,服务不足的社区在实施CAAT项目时面临独特的障碍,但诸如专门资金等近期促进因素有助于实现公平投资。

A new quantitative method for evaluating the impact of garden greening on outdoor thermal environment in summer - A case study of Japanese residential gardens
一种评估花园绿化对夏季户外热环境影响的新定量方法——以日本住宅花园为例
【摘要】
Garden greening can improve the outdoor thermal environment of buildings, but there is a lack of quantitative research on this aspect. First, this research quantitatively analyzes the effect of garden greening on the outdoor thermal environment by conducting field measurements at various distances from measurement points set up in a traditional Japanese residential garden during the summer, and a TDTE model was established. The results show that the outdoor thermal environment evaluation indices at each measurement point reach the maximum value of 13:00 daily. The outdoor thermal environment evaluation indices such as the average air temperature value at the nearest measurement point to the garden greening were 12 % lower than those at the farthest measurement point. Secondly, the TDTE model was established based on this foundation, and the validation of the measured data showed that the TDTE model had high reliability (the average RMSE value was 1.791, and the average MAPE value was 2.978). Finally, the model can provide ideas as well as the theoretical basis for quantitative research related to greening and outdoor thermal environments. This research provides scientific guidance for planning as well as reconstruction of residential garden greening.

花园绿化可以改善建筑物的户外热环境,但在这方面的定量研究仍然不足。首先,本研究通过在传统日本住宅花园中设置多个测量点,并在夏季不同距离处进行现场测量,定量分析了花园绿化对户外热环境的影响,并建立了TDTE模型。结果显示,每个测量点的户外热环境评价指标每天在13:00达到最大值。靠近花园绿化的最近测量点的平均气温值比最远测量点低12%。其次,基于这一基础建立了TDTE模型,测量数据的验证结果表明,TDTE模型具有高度的可靠性(平均RMSE值为1.791,平均MAPE值为2.978)。最后,该模型不仅为与绿化和户外热环境相关的定量研究提供了思路和理论基础,还为住宅花园绿化的规划和改造提供了科学指导。

Operational sensitivity analysis of flooding volume in urban areas
城市地区洪水量的操作性敏感性分析
【摘要】
We focus on a probability-based approach to analyze the flooding volume during extreme rainfall events in urban areas. Our approach considers uncertainty in both non-operational and operational variables. The former are quantities that are tied to the characterization of rainfall events and key catchment features, whose uncertainties stem from incomplete characterization. The latter comprise elements of the system on which actions can be taken within a range of design values. As the non-deterministic nature of these two types of quantities differs at a fundamental level, we rely on an operational Global Sensitivity Analysis theoretical framework that explicitly recognizes this distinction. As a test bed to showcase our approach, we consider an urban catchment in Northern Italy. We assess the sensitivity of the flooding volume to a set of operational variables, such as diameter and roughness of a set of conduits of the sewer network as well as potential improvement of the infiltration capacity of the urban catchment. We show that our approach can identify the operational configuration with the highest effectiveness in mitigating instances of flooding, taking into account the uncertainties in the non-operational quantities that drive the system behavior.

我们采用基于概率的方法来分析城市地区极端降雨事件期间的洪水量。我们的方法考虑了非操作变量和操作变量的不确定性。前者是与降雨事件特征和关键集水区特性相关的量,其不确定性源于特征描述的不完整。后者包括系统中可以在一定设计值范围内采取行动的元素。由于这两类量在非确定性性质上在根本层面上有所不同,我们依赖于一种操作性全球敏感性分析理论框架,该框架明确区分了这两类量。为了展示我们的方法,我们以意大利北部的一个城市集水区作为测试平台。我们评估了洪水量对一组操作变量的敏感性,例如污水网络中一组管道的直径和粗糙度,以及城市集水区渗透能力的潜在改进。我们的研究表明,考虑到驱动系统行为的非操作性量的不确定性,我们的方法能够识别出在减轻洪水发生方面最有效的操作配置。

An examination and analysis of the clustering of healthcare centers and their spatial accessibility in Tehran metropolis: Insights from Google POI data
德黑兰大都市区医疗中心的聚类及其空间可达性分析:基于Google POI数据的洞察
【摘要】
Metropolises, as centers of diverse activities, encounter numerous challenges, including equitable access to healthcare services. This study examines the inequality in healthcare center accessibility in Tehran, a critical factor for sustainable urban development. Utilizing Google Point of Interest data, healthcare center clusters in Tehran were identified, and various clustering algorithms were tested. The Mean Shift Cluster algorithm was the most effective method. The study also mapped accessibility by analyzing the radius of neighborhoods around urban blocks. The findings reveal a significant imbalance in the distribution of healthcare centers in the city, with a concentration in the city center that does not align with population density—a key indicator of demand. Notably, District 7, despite being centrally located, relatively has a higher clusters' concentration of lower-quality healthcare centers. The findings reveal that four sub-districts situated in the peripheral regions of Tehran city, which collectively account for approximately 6.3% of the city's total area, exhibit significantly lower accessibility to the healthcare centers compared to other sub-districts. Overall, the areas with superior accessibility are predominantly found in the city center and extend towards the north, with accessibility decreasing as one moves towards the outskirts of the city. These results underscore the need for targeted urban planning to address the uneven distribution of healthcare resources and promote equitable access across Tehran.

大都市作为多样化活动的中心,面临诸多挑战,其中包括医疗服务的公平获取。本研究探讨了德黑兰医疗中心可达性的不平等现象,这是实现可持续城市发展的关键因素。研究利用Google兴趣点(POI)数据,识别了德黑兰的医疗中心聚类,并测试了多种聚类算法。结果表明,均值漂移聚类算法(Mean Shift Cluster)是最有效的方法。研究还通过分析城市街区周边邻域的半径来绘制可达性图。研究发现,德黑兰医疗中心的分布存在显著的不平衡,市中心的医疗中心集中度高,但这一分布并未与人口密度这一需求的关键指标相匹配。值得注意的是,尽管第七区位于市中心,其较低质量医疗中心的聚类集中度相对较高。研究结果还显示,位于德黑兰外围地区的四个子区(这些子区合计约占城市总面积的6.3%)的医疗中心可达性显著低于其他子区。总体而言,医疗中心可达性较高的区域主要集中在市中心并向北延伸,随着向城市边缘移动,可达性逐渐降低。这些结果强调了需要进行有针对性的城市规划,以解决医疗资源分布不均的问题,促进德黑兰各区域的公平医疗服务获取。

Navigating urban risks for sustainability: A comprehensive evaluation of urban vulnerability based on a pressure–sensitivity–resilience framework
城市可持续性中的风险管理:基于压力–敏感性–韧性框架的城市脆弱性综合评估
【摘要】
Cities are important symbols of civilization in human society. The vulnerability to cities caused by human activities and natural disasters has become increasingly evident. How to reduce the vulnerability of cities is an important topic in the research of urban public safety and sustainable development. In this study, a comprehensive evaluation of urban vulnerability is conducted on the basis of the pressure–sensitivity–resilience framework from a complex systems perspective, integrating three subsystems—the resource–environment, economic, and social subsystems. On the basis of data from 18 cities in Sichuan Province, China, from 2006 to 2021, this study analyzes vulnerability in terms of its scores, spatial and temporal evolution, and obstacles. The results reveal that the overall vulnerability of the Sichuan Basin has shown a fluctuating downward trend over the past sixteen years, and the spatial distribution has evolved into a large “low-vulnerability” agglomeration. The obstacles affecting urban vulnerability are also changing dynamically and include factors such as the harmless treatment rate of household waste and industrial smoke dust emissions. Drawing from these insights, this study enables the identification and diagnosis of urban vulnerability and, further, provides city managers with tailored recommendations for crafting policies that aim to mitigate risks and promote sustainable development.

Effects of diverse vegetation assemblages on the thermal behavior of extensive vegetated roofs
多样化植物组合对广泛绿化屋顶热行为的影响
【摘要】
Extensive vegetated roofs (EVRs) offer effective nature-based solutions to cities, mitigating thermal extremes induced by urbanization and climate change. A field experiment monitored EVR's thermal regulation in summer and winter. Two sites with contrasting microclimatic conditions in Córdoba city, Argentina, were compared: city center (Core of the urban heat island, UHI) and city periphery (Fringe of the UHI). Diverse plant assemblages constituted five treatments to evaluate plant and thermal performance. A Random Forest model analyzed the contributions of various factors to thermal benefits. All treatments showed > 60 % plant survival rates, and four treatments achieved > 90 % coverage. In winter, the assemblages, including succulents, herbs, and graminoids, offer effective thermal regulation. In summer, thermal performance differed between the two sites. At the Fringe, the native flora (herbaceous and graminoids) + herbaceous + succulents, and succulents + graminoids furnished outstanding thermal regulation. Conversely, at the Core, succulents outperformed. The coverage was the dominant variable for predicting thermal performance, followed by season and location. The findings provide the basis for designing EVRs to optimize thermal benefits.

Supply-demand security assessment of water-energy-food systems: A perspective on intra-city coupling and inter-city linkages of ecosystem services
水-能源-食物系统的供需安全评估:生态系统服务的城市内耦合与城市间联结视角
【摘要】
Ensuring the supply-demand security of water-energy-food systems (WEF) is paramount in sustainable cities. Leveraging ecosystem services (ESs) as a bridge between WEF supply and demand, this study proposes a conceptual framework for assessing the supply-demand security of WEF from the perspective of intra-city coupling and inter-city linkages of WEF-related ESs. Considering 14 Liaoning cities, we developed supply-demand indices for three ESs: water yield, carbon storage, and food production. The supply-demand security pattern of WEF was evaluated using Spearman's rank correlation, the Copula model, the coupling coordination degree model, the gravity model, and social network analysis, using these indices. The results show that the supply-demand security of WEF was higher in eastern Liaoning cities and weakened westward. Dandong had the highest supply-demand security, with a 98% probability of achieving moderate surplus in WEF resources. The regions of Dandong-Liaoyang-Anshan-Yingkou-Panjin-Jinzhou and Tieling-Fushun-Benxi formed two extreme WEF coupling coordination gravity networks. Liaoyang, Panjin, and Fuxin emerged as hubs in the WEF coupling coordination gravity networks and exhibited the highest degree and betweenness centrality values. Additionally, Fushun, Liaoyang, Dandong, and Tieling were identified as WEF high coupling coordination nodes. This supply-demand security assessment framework for WEF offers a scientific basis for developing sustainable city strategies.

确保水-能源-食物系统(WEF)的供需安全在可持续城市中至关重要。利用生态系统服务(ESs)作为WEF供需之间的桥梁,本研究提出了一个概念框架,从城市内部耦合和城市间连接相关的WEF生态系统服务的角度,评估WEF的供需安全性。考虑到中国辽宁省的14个城市,我们为三种生态系统服务:水产量、碳储存和粮食生产,开发了供需指数。利用这些指数,采用斯皮尔曼等级相关、Copula模型、耦合协调度模型、引力模型和社会网络分析方法,评估了WEF的供需安全模式。结果显示,辽宁省东部城市的WEF供需安全性较高,向西部逐渐减弱。丹东市的供需安全性最高,具有98%的概率实现WEF资源的中度盈余。丹东-辽阳-鞍山-营口-盘锦-锦州和铁岭-抚顺-本溪地区形成了两个极端的WEF耦合协调引力网络。辽阳、盘锦和阜新在WEF耦合协调引力网络中成为枢纽,展现出最高的度数和中介中心性值。此外,抚顺、辽阳、丹东和铁岭被识别为WEF高耦合协调节点。这个WEF供需安全评估框架为制定可持续城市战略提供了科学基础。

Exploring the spatiotemporal evolution patterns of Urban Heat Island with a network-based approach
基于网络的方法探索城市热岛的时空演化模式
【摘要】
Exploring the development patterns of surface urban heat island (SUHI) has become crucial for formulating corresponding excess heat mitigation measures. However, there is currently a lack of analysis on the importance and interactions of different SUHI patches. This paper proposes a simple and effective method for measuring SUHI patterns, revealing the development patterns and growth trends of SUHI through spatial integration and interaction network construction. The results show that the values of nodes and edges in the SUHI network have continuously increased from 2005 to 2020, with an increase of the average importance index of nodes and the average interaction intensity of edges in the three regions by 40.2% and 23.6%, respectively. Moreover, the development pattern of SUHI exhibits a distinct unimodal characteristic. When the merging speed of SUHI patches exceeds the speed of new patch emergence, the total number of patches will decrease. The method proposed in this study demonstrates strong applicability across the three urban agglomerations and can be extended to other regions. The SUHI network enables the practical and efficient excess heat mitigation of heat island effects through the management (disruption) of key nodes. The corresponding heat island development hypothesis also enriches the theoretical understanding of heat island development.

探索地表城市热岛(SUHI)的发展模式对于制定相应的过量热量缓解措施至关重要。然而,目前尚缺乏对不同SUHI斑块的重要性及其相互作用的分析。本文提出了一种简单有效的SUHI模式测量方法,通过空间整合和相互作用网络构建,揭示了SUHI的发展模式和增长趋势。结果表明,从2005年到2020年,SUHI网络中节点和边的数值持续增加,三个地区的节点平均重要性指数和边的平均相互作用强度分别增加了40.2%和23.6%。此外,SUHI的发展模式表现出明显的单峰特征。当SUHI斑块的合并速度超过新斑块出现的速度时,斑块总数将减少。本研究提出的方法在三个城市群中表现出强大的适用性,并可扩展到其他地区。SUHI网络通过管理(扰动)关键节点,实现了对热岛效应的实际和高效过量热量缓解。相应的热岛发展假设也丰富了对热岛发展理论的理解。

Assessing demographic and socioeconomic susceptibilities to heatwaves in the Southeastern United Kingdom
评估英国东南部地区人口统计和社会经济对热浪的脆弱性
【摘要】
As climate change intensifies, the frequency and intensity of heatwaves are rising to pose significant health risks. Population vulnerability, influenced by socioeconomic and demographic factors, is a widespread concern. We analysed heat vulnerability by demonstrating usefulness of principal component analysis on recent, localised census data at lower super output scale for vulnerability factors such as poverty, access to cooling facilities, age, and gender for a non-city yet highly heat risk vulnerable case study of Surrey, UK. Four major factors (poverty, elderly population, unemployed students, daily commute) were identified, creating a cumulative Heat Vulnerability Index, aiding in prioritising interventions and mapping vulnerable areas. Mapping revealed most areas had a moderate vulnerability level of 3 out of 6 for individual major factors, with cumulative scores ranging from 11 to 12 out of 20. The study emphasises the interconnectedness of vulnerability factors and highlights the applicability of the approach beyond Surrey. The demonstrated methodology provides a valuable template for vulnerability assessments in regions facing similar challenges and have its up-to-date effective heat action plan underlining the importance of tailored strategies for comprehensive heat risk management (e.g. cooling centres, transport aid, multilingual risk communication and home visits). Policymakers can utilise the insights gained to develop targeted measures for vulnerable populations and manage heat-related issues effectively on a global scale.

随着气候变化的加剧,热浪的频率和强度上升,带来了显著的健康风险。人口脆弱性受社会经济和人口统计因素的影响,成为广泛关注的问题。我们通过在英国萨里郡这一非城市但高度易受热风险影响的案例研究中,利用主成分分析对最近的、本地化的低超级输出尺度人口普查数据进行分析,评估了贫困、冷却设施的获取、年龄和性别等脆弱性因素的热脆弱性。研究确定了四个主要因素(贫困、老年人口、失业学生、每日通勤),并创建了累积热脆弱性指数,帮助优先考虑干预措施并绘制易受影响区域的地图。映射结果显示,大多数地区在个别主要因素上的脆弱性水平为6分中的3分,累积得分在20分中介于11至12分之间。研究强调了脆弱性因素的相互关联性,并突出了该方法在萨里郡以外地区的适用性。所展示的方法论为面临类似挑战的地区进行脆弱性评估提供了宝贵的模板,并拥有最新的有效热行动计划,强调了为全面热风险管理制定定制化策略的重要性(例如,冷却中心、交通援助、多语种风险沟通和家庭访问)。政策制定者可以利用这些见解,针对脆弱群体制定有针对性的措施,并在全球范围内有效管理与热相关的问题。

Waste collection route optimisation for the second waste-to-energy plant in Budapest
布达佩斯第二座废物能源化工厂的垃圾收集路线优化
【摘要】
The city of Budapest produces approximately 680–700 000 tonnes of municipal solid waste every year, of which <2/3 is being recycled or used for energetic purposes, the rest ends up in a landfill. To combat this environmental and logistical problem the installation of a second waste incineration plant has been proposed in the south of the city. The only cost associated with fuel consumption in the case of waste to energy powerplants (WtE plants) is the transport cost, as the city council provides economic support for waste disposal. Since the transportation has a huge influence on the cost of opertation, logistical optimisation of the transport routes promises a direct impact on cost savings. In this study the logistical optimisation of the Southern Budapest area was carried out using image processing and logic based algorithm programming. As a result the optimal transport of 230 000 tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW) was solved resulting in a 4 835.2 km monthly travel distance reduction.This value can be translated to 7 823 €/month cost, 9 459.6 kg/month CO2 and 45.3 kg/month NOx emissions reduction in the urban areas.

布达佩斯市每年产生约68万至70万吨城市固体废物,其中不到2/3被回收或用于能源用途,其余部分最终被填埋。为了解决这一环境和物流问题,建议在城市南部安装第二座废物焚烧厂。在废物能源化工厂(WtE工厂)的情况下,与燃料消耗相关的唯一成本是运输成本,因为市议会为废物处理提供经济支持。由于运输对运营成本有巨大影响,运输路线的物流优化有望直接带来成本节约。在本研究中,利用图像处理和基于逻辑的算法编程对布达佩斯南部地区的物流进行了优化。因此,优化了23万吨城市固体废物(MSW)的运输,导致每月行驶距离减少4835.2公里。这个数值可以转化为每月7823欧元的成本节约、每月9459.6公斤的二氧化碳(CO₂)和每月45.3公斤的氮氧化物(NOₓ)排放减少。

Sustainable urban digital innovation: A socio-technical competency-based approach to evaluation
可持续的城市数字创新:基于社会技术能力的评估方法
【摘要】
This study explores the leadership competencies required in practice by city planners and managers in smart city projects focusing on environmental urban sustainability. Although the literature notes that urban technologies and their capabilities can help address sustainability challenges in cities, there is a lack of studies exploring the competency requirements necessary to foster leadership capacity. This paper identifies leadership competencies within four real-world case studies in the urban built environment, guided by a socio-technical competency framework (DC2-CF). The selected case studies represent a diverse set of city planning purposes, geographic regions, various levels of spatial scale, and socio-technical elements of digital innovation. In these case studies, city managers exhibit specific competencies to develop digital innovation projects that uphold and advance urban sustainability. The study demonstrates the relevance and practical application of DC2-CF as a valuable tool to identify competency needs for local public, private, and community stakeholders throughout diverse stages of the urban digital innovation process. The findings suggest the complex relationship between competencies and project delivery, stressing variations in how they are utilised across various projects. Drawing from these key results, this paper provides practical recommendations for city professionals, guiding them in leading climate-friendly and sustainable urban digital innovation.

Downwind Warming of Cities? Inequal Heat Distribution Attributed to Winds
城市下风向的变暖?风导致的不均衡热分布
【摘要】
Heat exposure within urban areas is strikingly uneven, posing disproportionate risks to certain communities. While nature-based solutions have gained attention, the role of wind in distributing heat remains less understood in an urban planning scale. This study assessed the interaction between wind direction, speed, and heat advection in Taipei Basin during summers from 2011 to 2020, using data from densely installed meteorological stations. A novel method was developed to capture multiple wind directions while accounting for local terrain and urban effects. Results revealed that wind-induced heat advection is complicated by local terrain and nearby cities in the conurbation, varying heat distribution. Windy conditions were mostly warmer than calm conditions, with north-westerly and westerly winds causing the strongest heat advection. Heat advection increased with wind speeds up to 5.4 m/s and decreased thereafter. Substantial intra-urban differences in heat advection were observed, reaching 4.33°C daytime and 3.34°C nighttime. Upwind areas were not necessarily cooler, while some downwind areas at mountain foot experienced greater warming. Up to 2.6SD of advected heat magnitude was found downwind at night. These findings underscore inequitable heat transfer to areas that do not generate heat and the critical need for wind-sensitive planning for both city-region and inter-urban areas.

城市区域内的热暴露极不均衡,对某些社区构成了不成比例的风险。虽然基于自然的解决方案已受到关注,但风在分配热量方面的作用在城市规划尺度上仍然了解不足。本研究利用密集安装的气象站数据,评估了2011年至2020年夏季台北盆地内风向、风速与热平流之间的相互作用。开发了一种新方法,以捕捉多种风向,同时考虑当地地形和城市效应。结果显示,风引起的热平流因当地地形和邻近城市的影响而复杂,导致热量分布不均。风大时的条件通常比平静时更暖和,西北风和西风导致最强的热平流。热平流随着风速增加至5.4米/秒而增强,随后减少。观察到城市内部在热平流方面存在显著差异,白天达到4.33°C,夜间达到3.34°C。上风区并不一定更凉爽,而山脚下的一些下风区则经历了更大的变暖。夜间下风区的平流热量幅度高达2.6个标准差。这些发现强调了热量向不产生热量区域的不公平传递,以及在城市区域和城市间区域进行风敏感规划的关键需求。

Multi-factor dynamic correlation prediction and analysis of carbon peaking for building sector: A case study of Shaanxi province
建筑部门碳达峰的多因素动态相关预测与分析:以陕西省为例
【摘要】
The factors influencing carbon emissions in the construction sector are numerous, and the relationships between these factors are complex. Previous studies on carbon peaking have often overlooked the dynamic changes between influencing factors and limited the number of variables to simplify the computation of predictive models. Based on the goal of carbon peaking, this study explores the relationships between internal factors within the construction industry and establishes a network of factor correlation. Furthermore, this network is embedded into an improved STIRPAT model, and a multi-factor dynamic correlation prediction model is constructed by incorporating scenario analysis. Taking Shaanxi Province, China, as a case for empirical analysis, the study explores carbon-peaking solutions for the building sector under different development scenarios. The findings indicate that carbon emissions in Shaanxi's building sector continuously increased during the study period, reaching 213 MtCO2 in 2020. Through factor screening, 12 driving factors were found to be significantly related to carbon emissions, all showing positive correlations, with the urbanization rate contributing the most to emissions. The dynamic association prediction model constructed had an accuracy of 0.996. Using this model, nine carbon emission scenarios were predicted, with optimizing the energy structure identified as the critical pathway, achieving a 5.01% reduction in emissions. A comprehensive strategy could achieve a 12.49% reduction and meet the carbon peaking target. Finally, the study proposes policy recommendations for the coordinated management of emissions reductions in cities and the construction industry, contributing to the development of sustainable cities and societies.

Dynamic energy management and control of networked microgrids based on load to grid services and incentive-based demand response programs: A multi-agent deep reinforcement learning approach
基于负载到电网服务和激励型需求响应程序的网络微电网动态能源管理与控制:一种多智能体深度强化学习方法
【摘要】
This study has presented the energy management paradigm in a networked microgrid structure based on L2G services and considering incentive-based load response (IBDR) programs and energy market requirements to reduce operating costs, control and restore voltage and frequency index, providing the benefits of subscribers and distribution system operators. In this study, multi-objective functions such as optimal operation based on IBDR structure and energy market requirements, risk assessment, and L2G service approach are configured in the framework of central and local controllers. Optimal operation and risk assessment are analyzed by a multi-task learning algorithm based on multi-objective function and L2G service policies are evaluated based on multi-agent deep reinforcement learning. Control policies are sent by the communication system to the components affecting the optimal power distribution as well as the voltage and frequency controllers. L2G services have been evaluated in different scenarios such as plug-and-play operating conditions, load fluctuations, and operating in island mode. The results of optimal operation based on L2G services show that the IBDR program implementation reduces the total operation cost by 21%. Also, the total operating cost of the proposed framework is 13.97% less than the RL method and 27.8% less than the ANN method.

Maximizing the net economic benefits of regulating indoor air quality in China
最大化中国室内空气质量调控的净经济利益
【摘要】
The WHO guideline levels for indoor air pollutants (IAPs) are based solely on health considerations. Attaining these levels may cost a disproportionate fraction of available public health funds. To maximize the net economic benefit (NEB, = benefits - costs) of controlling IAPs, we develop a method based upon a new concept, optimal control concentration (OCC). For China, the estimated OCCs for indoor PM2.5 and formaldehyde in residences are 15 μg/m3 and 25 μg/m3, respectively. The estimated NEB achieved by controlling IAPs to their OCCs is almost 500 billion CNY a year, much greater than that of meeting the WHO guidelines (a negative NEB) and two Chinese standards (a negative NEB and about 200 billion CNY). Our method can be used by other countries to cost-effectively control IAPs.

Modeling urban expansion and its impacts on carbon storage through integrative scenario analysis for sustainable development in the Changchun-Jilin-Tumen region
长春-吉林-图们地区可持续发展中城市扩张及其对碳储量影响的建模与综合情景分析
【摘要】
The Changchun-Jilin-Tumen (CJT) region in Northeast China is a key economic hub and a strategic gateway for China's integration into Northeast Asia, playing a crucial role in the Belt and Road Initiative. However, rapid urbanization in this region has precipitated substantial environmental challenges, particularly the degradation of carbon storage services (CSS) due to the expansion of impervious surface areas (ISA). This study employs multi-source remote sensing data, advanced geospatial analysis, and scenario-based decision-making technologies to evaluate the impacts of ISA expansion on CSS from 2000 to 2035 using the PLUS and InVEST models. The results reveal significant losses in CSS, with a net decrease of 8.10 × 10⁶ tons of carbon projected by 2022. Under the Natural Development scenario, these losses could escalate to 15.32 × 10⁶ tons by 2035. Conversely, the Ecological Protection and High-Quality Development scenarios suggest that strategic interventions could mitigate these losses, potentially leading to CSS gains of up to 3.42 × 10⁶ tons in the Ecological Protection scenario. This study highlights the pressing need to integrate ecological considerations into urban planning to balance development with environmental sustainability. The findings provide essential guidance for policymakers aiming to align urban growth with carbon neutrality targets, particularly in the context of global climate commitments and the increasing imperative for sustainable urban development.

Understanding how digital infrastructure construction could promote sustainable development
理解数字基础设施建设如何促进可持续发展
【摘要】
Progress made in environmental protection may negatively affect regional socioeconomic development, reducing or impairing the ability of local economic systems to defend against external shocks, culminating in weakened economic resilience. Implementing carbon abatement programs without risking economic resilience is therefore an urgent problem for the international community, especially for its emerging national economies. Digital infrastructure construction (DIC), as a driving force of technological progress and structural transformation, may offer a viable solution to that problem. Here, we used county-level data for China, the biggest emerging economy in the world, to investigate whether and how Smart City Pilot policy (SCP, a policy close to DIC) has lowered regional carbon emissions and influenced economic resilience. We find that the SCP could significantly promote carbon abatement goals, and this result is robust under several tests. Further, chain-based mediating effect analysis revealed that the SCP's beneficial impact could have arisen by first promoting innovation and then productivity, and public concern acting as a stressor that pressures officials to engage in environmental governance. Furthermore, our results show the SCP is capable of bolstering regional economic resilience, and could even offset or negate the adverse effects of strict environmental regulation on that resilience. However, the positive effects of the SCP on carbon abatement in China's developed counties, or ones located in a resources-based city, were not significant. Altogether, our empirical results highlight how DIC can serve as a way to help achieve sustainable development, but more studies on its contributing role are clearly needed.

环境保护取得的进展可能对区域社会经济发展产生负面影响,削弱或损害地方经济体系应对外部冲击的能力,最终导致经济韧性减弱。因此,如何在不危及经济韧性的情况下实施碳减排计划,成为国际社会,尤其是新兴国家经济体面临的紧迫问题。作为技术进步和结构转型的驱动力,数字基础设施建设(DIC)可能为这一问题提供可行的解决方案。在本研究中,我们使用中国县级数据——世界上最大的一个新兴经济体,来调查智能城市试点政策(SCP,一种与DIC密切相关的政策)是否以及如何降低区域碳排放并影响经济韧性。研究发现,SCP能够显著促进碳减排目标,这一结果在多项测试中具有稳健性。此外,基于链式中介效应的分析揭示,SCP的有益影响可能首先通过促进创新,然后提升生产力,以及公众关注作为一种压力因素,促使官员参与环境治理。此外,我们的结果显示,SCP能够增强区域经济韧性,甚至可以抵消或减弱严格环境法规对经济韧性的负面影响。然而,SCP对中国发达县域或资源型城市的碳减排效果并不显著。总的来说,我们的实证结果强调了DIC在实现可持续发展方面的作用,但显然需要更多研究来深入探讨其贡献角色。

A novel construction and evaluation framework for driving cycle of electric vehicles based on energy consumption and emission analysis
基于能耗与排放分析的电动汽车行驶循环新构建与评估框架
【摘要】
The driving cycle (DC) is essential for establishing vehicle emission standards, transportation policies, and urban planning. However, existing driving cycles demonstrate poor representativeness and excessive randomness due to the insufficient capture of driving characteristics. Therefore, a novel framework for constructing and evaluating driving cycles of electric vehicles (EVs) based on energy consumption and emissions analysis is proposed to enhance the representativeness of the constructed driving cycles. First, based on road information, an improved dual-chain Markov chain method combined with the self-organizing mapping (SOM) neural network is introduced for clustering and constructing driving cycles. Subsequently, a double-layer evaluation model oriented towards energy consumption and emissions is established through a combination of model-driven and data-driven approaches to select a representative driving cycle (RDC). Finally, comparative experiments are conducted to evaluate the feasibility and scientific validity of the proposed method in multiple dimensions. The results indicate that the driving cycle constructed in this study demonstrates excellent representativeness, with an emission error of 2.04% and a comprehensive characterization parameter (CCP) value of 0.097. This study emphasizes the necessity of incorporating reasonable constraints in the driving cycle construction. This improved representativeness provides a reliable foundation for electric vehicle design and transportation policy development.

行驶循环(DC)在制定车辆排放标准、交通政策和城市规划中至关重要。然而,现有的行驶循环由于未能充分捕捉驾驶特性,往往表现出较差的代表性和过度的随机性。因此,本文提出了一种基于能耗和排放分析的电动汽车(EV)行驶循环构建与评估新框架,旨在提高构建的行驶循环的代表性。首先,基于道路信息,引入了改进的双链马尔可夫链方法,并结合自组织映射(SOM)神经网络进行聚类与行驶循环构建。随后,通过结合模型驱动与数据驱动的方法,建立了一个面向能耗与排放的双层评估模型,以选择代表性行驶循环(RDC)。最后,进行了比较实验,从多个维度评估了所提方法的可行性和科学有效性。结果表明,本文构建的行驶循环具有优异的代表性,排放误差为2.04%,综合表征参数(CCP)值为0.097。研究强调了在行驶循环构建中引入合理约束的必要性。该改进的代表性为电动汽车设计和交通政策制定提供了可靠的基础。

Urban form and seasonal PM2.5 dynamics: Enhancing air quality prediction using interpretable machine learning and IoT sensor data
城市形态与季节性PM₂.₅动态:使用可解释的机器学习和物联网传感器数据增强空气质量预测
【摘要】
This study investigates the critical issue of how urban form characteristics influence PM2.5 concentrations, a key concern for public health in densely populated cities. Traditional monitoring methods have faced data gaps and methodological limitations. To address this, we employed interpretable machine learning (ML) models with data from 1,069 Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensors across Seoul, South Korea (September 2020–August 2023). Over 80 urban form variables—including density, transportation, road design, building morphology, and land use—were analyzed using Recursive Feature Elimination to identify key factors affecting PM2.5 concentrations within three buffer zones (300-m, 500-m, 1-km). The random forest model demonstrated the highest accuracy, with an R² of 95 % for autumn and 96 % for spring. Our findings show higher PM2.5 levels in colder months, driven by road width and building density in autumn and traffic and industrial activity in winter. In summer, green spaces and meteorological conditions were primary factors, while spring air quality was notably impacted by localized traffic emissions around highways and bus stops. This study offers robust predictions and actionable insights for urban planning and air quality management. Future research could integrate additional environmental variables and expand sensor coverage to further refine predictive models.

本研究探讨了城市形态特征如何影响PM₂.₅浓度,这一问题对于人口密集城市的公共健康至关重要。传统监测方法存在数据缺口和方法上的局限性。为了解决这一问题,我们采用了可解释的机器学习(ML)模型,利用韩国首尔市(2020年9月至2023年8月)1069个物联网(IoT)传感器的数据。通过递归特征消除法分析了包括密度、交通、道路设计、建筑形态和土地利用在内的80多个城市形态变量,以识别影响三个缓冲区(300米、500米、1公里)内PM₂.₅浓度的关键因素。随机森林模型表现出最高的准确性,秋季的R²为95%,春季为96%。研究结果显示,较冷月份的PM₂.₅水平较高,秋季主要由道路宽度和建筑密度驱动,冬季则由交通和工业活动驱动。夏季,绿地和气象条件是主要因素,而春季空气质量则显著受到高速公路和公交站周边局部交通排放的影响。本研究为城市规划和空气质量管理提供了稳健的预测和可行的见解。未来的研究可以整合更多环境变量并扩大传感器覆盖范围,以进一步优化预测模型。
