Development of Building Maintenance System for Monitoring Repair and Replacement Histories of Public Facilities

The Korea Water Resources Corporation （K-Water） has encountered four problems during the management of water resources of approximately 1,300 buildings spread throughout the country-degradation, budget constraints, lack of standards, and lack of planning. In this study, we have developed a mechanism for collecting, maintaining, and analyzing ground data for repair and replacement works. Our BMS （building maintenance system） uses the recorded repair and replacement work histories and calculates the life cycle costs of the related items. Further, it enables the performance of repair and replacement tasks through an integrated approach aimed at preventive maintenance. In this manner, the BMS is expected to maximize the efficiency of the formulation of prevention and maintenance work plans, monitoring of work histories, predictions of future tasks from the analyses of repair and replacement histories, and performance of LCC （life cycle cost） calculations. Reliable maintenance of national properties can thus be achieved by using the BMS, which promotes reasonable and efficient repair and replacement activities.

Accessibility and Fairness of Public Service Facilities from the Perspective of Supply and Demand Coordination: A Case Study of Old Urban Area of Guangzhou City

The accessibility and fairness of public service facilities are important manifestations of the convenience and equality of urban public service resource allocation.Optimizing the layout of urban public service facilities is an inevitable requirement for promoting the construction of people centered cities.This paper takes the old urban area of Guangzhou as the research area,measures the accessibility of multiple types of public service facilities based on an improved two-step floating catchment method,and combines Palma Ratio and location quotient methods to explore the fairness of urban public service facilities from two dimensions:social equity and spatial equity,with supply and demand relationship analysis as the main line.Research has shown that:①there is a significant spatial difference in the accessibility of public service facilities in the old urban areas of Guangzhou,and the comprehensive accessibility is generally higher in the central and southeastern regions of the old urban areas with fewer residential populations;②from the perspective of social equity,the resource allocation of public service facilities in the old urban areas of Guangzhou is in a seriously unfair state(with a fairness index of 2.99),and there are also varying degrees of unfairness within the streets;③from the perspective of spatial equity,the location quotient of public service facilities in the old urban areas of Guangzhou shows a pattern of multil center circles decreasing,indicating a significant spatial mismatch between the accessibility supply side of public service facilities and the demand side of the residential population.The research conclusion will provide scientific basis for optimizing the allocation of urban public service facilities and ensuring the equalization of public services.

Impact of Urban Public Service Facilities on Distribution Pattern of Housing Price

The impact of different public service facilities is obtained by investigating the infl uence of public service facilities on distribution pattern of housing price in 25 cities.According to the survey results,public education service facilities have the highest weight and the greatest impact,which also refl ects the root of“school district housing fever”from the side.Public sports service facilities have the lowest score when compared with other options.This is not because public sports service facilities are not important,but is determined by actual situation of social development and actual living standard of residents in China.From the improvement and enhancement of urban public service facilities,the construction of public service facilities should be convenient for people’s education,health,culture and entertainment.

PM10 and CO Exposure of Hong Kong Population in Public Transit Facilities

Taking public transit facilities (PTFs) is the major transport style in Hong Kong. Human exposure to indoor air pollutants may cause adverse health effects to the passengers. Exposure assessment on air pollutants is important for the control of human diseases caused by indoor air pollution. In this paper, the indoor PM10, CO and CO 2 levels in various PTFs, such as public bus, subway, railway and ferry in Hong Kong, were mea- sured. Combining with the time budget survey of Hong Kong population,the human exposures were calculated through Monte-Carlo simulation.

Diversity,Equality and Inclusion:Study on the Planning Concept of Public Service Facilities in Greater London

Preparing a Two Column Paper with MS Word for Windows The implications of the study on green design thought about the modem city public environment facilities

With the development of modem social productivity improvement, people＇ s material life is more and more abundant. But the social environment is getting more and more bad corresponding, haze, water pollution, dust and so on make people＇ s life quality decreased greatly. Therefore, in the design community an advocate for environmental protection design trend has been emerged, namely green design trends. There is a lot of inspiration of the green design trend to the modem city public environment facilities. It advocates the ecological principles of green design are applied to the design of urban public facilities. Insist on a full process control principle, that is, in design of the urban public environment facilities fully consider the use environmental protection material, or reduce the use of raw materials, through the design make the limited resources to achieve the processing, use, scrap, recycling and reuse of a benign cycle, and reduce the impact on the environment from.

Decision-Making Model of Public Service Facility Configuration in Multi-agent Communities and Its Application

The decision.making process of the public service facility configuration in multi.agent community is usually simplistic and static. In order to reflect dynamic changes and interactions of all behavior subjects induding of residents, real estate developers and the government, a decision-making model of public service facility configuration according to the multi-agent theory was made to improve the efficiency of the public service facility configuration in community and the living quality of residents. Taking a community to the cast of Jinhui Port in Fengxian District in Shanghai for example, the model analyzed the decision-makers＇ adaptive behaviors and simulated the decision.making criteria. The results indicate that the decision-making model and criteria can be well of satisfying the purpose of improving validity and rationality of public service facility configuration in large community.

Spatial Matching Degree Between Education, Healthcare, Elderly Care Facilities and the Built Environment in Megacities Based on POI Data: A Case Study of Chengdu Central Urban Area

During rapid urbanization, megacities see disparities in the spatial distribution of basic public service facilities and the urban built environment. Current research on basic public service facilities focuses on equal spatial distribution, leading to the overlook of their match with the surrounding built environment. Based on a case study on education, healthcare, and elderly care facilities in Chengdu central urban area, this paper analyzes the spatial distribution of these facilities and the built environment, and examines their spatial matching degree using a bivariate spatial autocorrelation model. The findings reveal the following insights: firstly, education and healthcare facilities present a “one core and multi-center” spatial distribution pattern, with the city center serving as the core and suburban subdistricts acting as the multiple centers, while elderly care facilities present a core-edge distribution pattern in contrast;secondly, the built environment presents a core-edge radial distribution pattern, with the city center acting as the nucleus that connects suburban subdistricts;thirdly, the spatial matching degree between the facilities and the urban built environment from the city center outwards is characterized by high, low, medium, and high levels. Notably, a significant spatial mismatch is observed in urban-rural transitional zones. In light of these findings, the paper comes to a conclusion that during urbanization, the efforts to equalize basic public service facilities in the urban-rural transitional zones may lead to spatial mismatches, to which urban planners and managers should pay close attention.

Spatial analysis of public health facilities in Riyadh Governorate,Saudi Arabia:a GIS-based study to assess geographic variations of service provision and accessibility

Much attention has been given to address public health policy in Saudi Arabia,particularly for the management,quality,and coverage issues.However,assessment of spatial patterns,distribution,and provision of public health services has been neglected.This paper analyzes the availability and accessibility of public health facilities across Riyadh Governorate,Saudi Arabia at the subnational level.Spatial and attribute data of public health facilities potentially have been analyzed using GIS to produce accurate measure of accessibility.The spatial pattern of service distribution was examined using average nearest neighbor.Distances from demand points(populations)to providers(facilities)were calculated for each district using near analysis.In addition,the ratios of public health facility to population were calculated to identify underserved and overserved areas.The findings clearly indicate that the spatial pattern of the distribution of public health facilities was significantly clustered(p value<0.001)with Z-score of–10.9.Several districts within the central parts of the governorate were identified as having a higher density of facilities,while most of districts that are located in the marginal parts exhibit very low density of health facilities.Overall,there was a considerable variation in the average distance from district centroids to health facilities.Substantially,less than half of the population(45.4%)living in 61 districts has access to public health facility within less than 1-km distance.In contrast,the greatest increase in distances was observed for 6%of population living in 38 districts.People that live in such districts need to travel long distances for public health care.The output of this analysis can assist policy-makers and authorities of Riyadh Governorate in planning public health delivery.

Identifying Restructuring Types of Rural Settlement Using Social Network Analysis:A Case Study of Ezhou City in Hubei Province of China

Social interaction has become one of the key factors affecting the spatial reconstruction of rural settlements(SRRS).However,most studies ignored the multi-scale impact of social networks on the identification of restructuring types of rural settlements.This paper,taking Ezhou City of Hubei Province,China as the case study area,developed a potential inter-settlement network through considering settlements as nodes,and inter-settlement interactions induced by the spatial disparity of public facilities as edges,divided towns in Ezhou City into three zones based on community structure at the town level,and then identified four types of rural settlements in light of the characteristics of cluster patterns and centrality at the patch level.The results show that the inter-settlement network in Ezhou City presents apparent disparities in terms of community structure,cluster patterns and centrality.In community analysis,high inter-community and intra-community interactions are concentrated in well-developed areas in the north and east,while weak interactions between communities occur in the southern areas dominated by traditional agricultural production.Accordingly,three zones are divided such as the urban-leading zone,urban-rural integration zone and rural-leading zone.For the network centrality and cluster patterns,high-level rural settlements are mainly distributed in the urban-leading zone,followed by the urban-rural integration zone and the rural-leading zone.Moreover,the lump cluster pattern is observed in each zone,but the chain pattern and dispersed pattern largely occur in the rural-leading zone.At same time,four types of rural settlements are identified,namely urbanized settlements,central settlements,grassroots settlements and relocated settlements.The corresponding plans are discussed in different zones regarding urbanization,integration and characteristics to provide meaningful insights for policymakers to guide SRRS.This study would contribute to our understanding of the impact of social network involved in daily life on rural settlement reconstruction,and expect to provide theoretical and methodological support for rural sustainable development in practice.

Spatial Identities of Public Health Service Facilities in Metropolitan Suburban Communities: A Case Study of Shanghai Jinshan District

Both "Healthy China" and "Healthy Shanghai" programs require construction and development of community public health services. Taking Jinshan District in Shanghai as a case study, this paper evaluates the status quo of community health services from the "demand-supply" perspective, and finds a remarkable difference in the needs among different age groups, a big gap between urban and rural areas in the coverage degree of facilities, and different challenges for public service at the "prevention – treatment – health care" stages. It further puts forward several planning strategies involving(1) specific service supply based on different age groups,(2) "15-minute health service cycles" in both urban and rural communities,(3) adjustment of facilities to local conditions, and(4) promoting the quality of health services. Furthermore, it discusses in-depth issues underlying planning policies, such as the innovation of service content, the integration of different plans, and the cultivation of health service needs.

城市住区公共服务设施与老年生活圈匹配规划研究

China entered an aging society in 1999 based on the United Nations’definition that an aging society is one where the population aged sixty and above accounts for more than 10 percent of the total population.Accordingly,community-based home care for older people has become a social trend and the main policy orientation of the urban elderly care service system.How to meet older people’s needs for living and caring services in urban residential areas is a major challenge for China to conduct urban redevelopment.This paper analyzes the supply-demand match of age-friendly public service facilities in communities based on the daily needs for public service facilities and the living circle characteristics of older people.Then it conducts an empirical study on typical residential communities in Suzhou and puts forward a hierarchical allocation strategy and improvement suggestions for age-friendly public service facilities in the self-sufficient community living circle,the near neighborhood living circle,and the urban expansion living circle.In addition,it proposes measures for improving the allocation of public service facilities in case communities in Suzhou through urban renewal.
