2. 6. Staging urban emergence through collective creativity: Devising an outdoor mobile augmented reality tool

   Author : Hyekyung Imottesjo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Urban Rules; Emergent processes; outdoor mobile augmented reality; Compact city; Complex adaptive systems; Urban resilience; collaborative design; research-through-design;

   Abstract : The unpredictability of global geopolitical conflicts, economic trends, and impacts of climate change, coupled with an increasing urban population, necessitates a more profound commitment to resilience thinking in urban planning and design. In contrast to top-down planning and designing for sustainability, allowing for emergence to take place seems to contribute to a capacity to better deal with this complex unpredictability, by allowing incremental changes through bottom-up, self-organized adaptation made by diverse actors in the proximity of various social, economical and functional entities in the urban context.

4. 7. Probabilistic design for evaluation of indoor environment

   Author : Katarina Ljungquist; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Steel Structures; Stålbyggnad;

   Abstract : In recent years indoor environment and indoor air quality has been subjected to extensive worldwide research efforts. Still, at present there are a lack of methods for prediction of risks and consequences for any defined damage to occur, similar to the probabilistic methods used in modern design codes for structures and buildings.

5. 8. Management of Sustainability in Construction Works

   Author : Urban Persson; Byggproduktion; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; construction works; assessment model; sustainability; Management;

   Abstract : The present global environmental condition is a consequence of the increasing consumption of natural resources whose depletion exceeds what is physically possible to sustain in the long term. The construction sector is a considerable contributor to this resource depletion and sustainability is adopted in the form of the theory of ecological modernization. READ MORE

6. 9. Management of the procurement of transport services to reduce CO2 emissions

   Author : Javad Ghaneimoghaddam; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Logistics; Transport performance; Transport provider; Shipper; Climate; Transport procurement; CO2 emissions;

   Abstract : It is important for shippers to purposefully manage the procurement of transport services internally (inward) and in relation to their transport providers and customers (outward) to reduce CO2 emissions. Further, contextual factors’ influence on the procurement of transport services needs to be understood to reduce CO2 emissions. READ MORE

7. 10. The complexity and variability of individuals' activity-travel patterns in Indonesia

   Author : Dimas Bayu Endrayana Dharmowijoyo; Yusak Susilo; Anders Karlström; Frank Wiltox; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; day-to-day variability; needs-constraints interaction; non-instrumental variables; health condition; Transportvetenskap; Transport Science;

   Abstract : Considering an individual’s day-to-day variability of activity-travel patterns will provide a more complete description of how an individual behaves to adapt the changing constraints and resources on different days. Without this day-to-day variability understanding, the individual’s behaviour would not be fully grasped and any suggested policy, planning and development would not completely achieve their desired objectives.
