A Case study of Amritsar2023-01-03T10:06:17+00:00Davinder Pal Singhdav.interiors11@gmail.comMahendra Joshidav.interiors11@gmail.com<p>India has an enormous built heritage and values which represents the growth of the tangibles and intangibles through the past, which eventually plays a crucial role in shaping the urban fabric of many historical cities and their precincts.<br />The paper aims to suggest some effective measures to protect historical urban precincts and areas. Primarily all architectural elements and features have connectivity to certain past cultural and historic eras, so, these bring about value to the city. This research also explains the growth and conservation strategies in precincts. And will identify the problems regarding the conservation in the precincts considering various regulations and codes.<br />The conservation strategies and regulations must be given attention. The conservation of historic precincts should focus upon all architectural elements and features, which in a way reflects the connectivity to past eras in which they have evolved by various materials and techniques considering the infrastructure needs. This research will focus on the historic structures having architectural elements and features, streetscapes and precincts of Amritsar which add to the cultural values of the city.</p>2022-11-25T08:21:50+00:00Copyright (c) 2022 International Journal of Urban Designhttps://journalspub.info/architecture/index.php?journal=ijud&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=990Contribution of Impervious Surfaces to Urban Heat Island in Pune2023-01-03T10:06:17+00:00Vaibhavi Milind Shindear.vaibhavishinde@gmail.comPriya Banglear.vaibhavishinde@gmail.com<p>Urbanization has brought about several undesirable environmental changes. Pune has witnessed rapid growth and deep urban transformation processes, especially in the last three decades. With urban heat island being one of the prominent effects of urbanization it is necessary to study its effects.<br />When city has a significantly higher temperature than an adjacent rural area, this is known as Urban Heat Island. Urban and less developed surrounding locations have different temperature due to how efficiently the surfaces in each area absorb and retain heat. Lack of vegetation, dark surfaces, climate<br />change, impervious surfaces, wind-blocking, waste heat, thermal mass, etc. are the parameters for urban heat island. Impervious surfaces are one of the parameter for urban heat island. Due to rapid urbanization, impervious surfaces have also increased. For road construction, natural earth surface<br />is replaced with hard pavement in an urban environment and which is responsible for the urban heat island. Impervious surfaces absorb more incident radiation than pervious surfaces. The heating and cooling rate is dependent on the thermal properties of impervious surfaces that lead to urban heat<br />island. Normally 13–14% area is covered by road from the total land-use area of the city. So, there is a need to study the contribution of impervious surfaces to urban heat island. The aim of the study is to analyze the contribution of impervious surfaces with respect to the urban heat island in Pune. The<br />objectives define work to identify urban heat island zones of Pune, selection of cases for observation, according to the selected locations to study existing impervious materials, and measure & analyze the response of impervious surfaces with respect to urban heat island. It was a time-based field study for<br />a selected urban heat island zone in Pune. The paper concludes with recommendations for impervious surfaces to reduce the urban heat island effect.</p>2022-12-08T12:02:56+00:00Copyright (c) 2022 International Journal of Urban Designhttps://journalspub.info/architecture/index.php?journal=ijud&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=999Neighbourhood Compatibility in Relation to Quality of life and Livability in Urban Areas2023-01-03T10:06:17+00:00Pranjali Maganahallipranjalimaganhalli@gmail.comPallavi Abhale Mandalepranjalimaganhalli@gmail.com<p>In the last decades, there has been a significant increase in urbanization. According to the United Nations survey over 55% of the world live in urban areas.Since metropolitan regions are the epicentre of greater possibilities and living standards, there is a significant movement of individuals from rural<br />to urban areaswith increasing population in urban areas, challenges of better quality of life and livability of the residents are also inevitable. There are various impacts of urban physical environments on the behaviour and activity of people and people prefer to reside in better neighbourhood, enjoy and interact with the spaces they live in. Clarence Perry’s model of the neighbourhood unit has become a recurring concept in the planning of cities. The neighborhoods are greatly impacted with the advent of the automobile technology and rise of urban areas. “People living in the greatest cities may not be happy if their children are not able to attend the school without crossing the transit way or are not able<br />to buy groceries from a nearby store or do not have access to playgrounds and open spaces”, says Perry. Perry delivered the notion of human-scale neighbourhood planning in the modern urban context. While Perry had an ideal concept of a neighbourhood. The paper intends to discuss the urban physical<br />environment and its imposed urban consequences of which we all are a part. Such urban conditions are a repercussion of the developmental activities which are important and inevitable in the contemporary urban scenario but rupture the existing neighbourhood and its associated activities. The urban areas which were developed in reference to community planning had a reflection of these<br />parameters defined by Clarence Perry.In earlier times, the idea of a neighbourhood unit was strongly associated with a sense of community, belonging, and identity. Close proximity to the neighbourhood services enhanced interactions and community activities. One such example of the neighbourhood is located in the Babajipura area of Vadodara district.The paper also intends to discuss the concept of the neighbourhood unit by Clarence Perry and other protagonists and acknowledge its essence and need in the contemporary urban scenario.</p>2022-12-28T09:41:57+00:00Copyright (c) 2022 International Journal of Urban Designhttps://journalspub.info/architecture/index.php?journal=ijud&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1005Evaluation of BRTS Service Quality Using User Preference2023-01-19T10:14:41+00:00Parth Parikh*parthparikh3135.pp@gmail.comPankaj Prajapatiparthparikh3135.pp@gmail.com<p>India is one of the world’s fastest developing countries, with increased urbanization contributing to a rise in vehicle population in metropolitan areas. This scenario exacerbates several traffic issues such as congestion, air pollution, and decreased safety, necessitating a change in commuters from private to public transportation. In light of this, public transportation’s efficacy and service quality must be improved in order to give a superior alternative to private transportation. Operators of public transportation, on the other hand, are curious in whatever aspect of service quality attracts<br />passengers. Estimating service quality and the impact of qualities on service become more crucial in this area. As a result, the focus of this research is on the technique for estimating service quality based on user preferences and the measuring influence of factors on service quality. The Rajkot city<br />(Gujarat) bus rapid transit system was chosen to meet the main objectives. In this system, operator amenities, safety, convenience, comfort, and service reliability are influencing characteristics on service quality. A questionnaire was developed with this in mind, and a survey was performed. Each stop along the BRTS (Bus rapid transit system) circuit used to collect data aggregating about 650 samples from BRTS users. The service attributes considered as Frequency, Punctuality of the bus, Speed and Proximity of the stops from O/D. Fare, cleanliness of the vehicle, Space, Information, Safety, Courtesy, and Accessibility. To assess service quality rating and identify impacting parameters, Structural equation modeling also known as route analysis approach, is utilized. The structural link between observable variables and their associated latent variables is examined in this<br />technique. The goodness of indicators proposed by several writers verified this concept. Latent or hidden variables are simply explained by their associated observed variable in this study. The present Transit system’s service quality is between Good and Excellent, according to an examination of data obtained from a survey of Rajkot BRTS. Apart from a few variables, users are quite satisfied with the service quality of BRTS.</p>2023-01-03T08:49:14+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of Urban Designhttps://journalspub.info/architecture/index.php?journal=ijud&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1006Circular Economy for the Solar Industry2023-01-03T10:06:17+00:00Avitesh Vaishnavi Nayakavitesh13@gmail.com<p>The term “circular economy” refers to a model of production and consumption that was first introduced in the late 1990s. This model encourages increasing amounts of reusing, refurbishing, repairing, and recycling. Circular economy (CE) has developed over time and is currently being utilized in a wide variety of fields and countries. Solar panels are being manufactured at an increasing rate, and the percentage of people using solar energy is also growing. Yes! Solar energy is particularly beneficial to the environment, and it is assisting in the reduction of CO2 emissions.<br />However, the lifespan of a solar panel is approximately 25 years, and these industries are not thinking about what will happen when the lifetime of the panel will expire. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the development of research and the formation of ideas in the solar energy sector, as well as to identify contemporary developments in how a circular economy can be employed within the solar sector. In addition, this article aims to provide an overview of the evolution of research and the formation of ideas in the solar energy sector. The implementation of the CE model<br />in recent years has resulted in a significant reduction in the amount of waste produced and resource extraction in the construction sector. These talks are useful outcomes of this application.</p>2023-01-03T08:58:18+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of Urban Design
