Full textAbstract:
The 21st century sustainable city requires the merging of urbanism with sustainable food systems. The challenges industrial food system separates people from their food sources. The design strategies for edible landscape are about re-inviting food back into the city and re-connecting people with their local/regional food system to promote a healthier lifestyle. Edible landscapes are a movement in transition and sprouting up as a response to the slow food movement and living a greener lifestyle. These urban agricultural landscapes are fast becoming iconic media darlings and are demonstrating that they are far more than growing vegetables and fruits on abandoned lots. Edible landscaping is the use of food plants as design features in a landscape. These plants are used both for aesthetic value as well as consumption. Edible landscapes encompass a variety of garden types and scales but do not include food items produced for sale. Edible landscaping is the practical integration of food plants within an ornamental or decorative setting. Using edibles in landscape design can enhance a garden by providing a unique ornamental component with additional health, aesthetic, and economic benefits. In this study; emergence of edible landscape, edible landscape design and maintenance, samples of edible landscape, productive plants, importance of edible landscaping for urban environments have been explained.

All over the world, different forms of urban food gardens (family gardens, school gardens, community gardens, allotment gardens, and so on) are flourishing. These initiatives vary in terms of space, actors, functions, and forms of organization. This article explores community garden typologies, focusing on Incredible Edible (IE) initiatives. We propose a theoretical discussion of IE initiatives and the differential adaptation of this model in contrasting contexts, specifically the city of Rennes, in France, and the city of Montreal, in Canada. The investigation of IE in both case studies is predicated on a qualitative methodological approach. A key conclusion is that the IE movement survives largely because of the input of volunteers. However, its longer-term sustainability requires resources and investment from municipal institutions if a real transition to edible cities is to be attained.

The development of the tourism and hospitality industry has encouraged the food industry to use edible flowers as an appetizing dish. The growth of gastronomy should stimulate its use to increase the value of local products, lifestyle, culture and even nutrition. Edible flowers, which are currently only used for garnishes, can actually be consumed. Hotels, restaurants, cake and pastry entrepreneurs have started using edible flowers as raw material for production. Apart from providing aesthetic value, flowers can create unique flavors to food. Purchase intention is influenced by product knowledge. Low product knowledge can lead to low purchase intention. This study aims to determine product knowledge, the purchase intention and the effect of product knowledge on purchase intention of edible flower restaurants in the city of Bandung. The method used in this research is descriptive and verification research methods. In this study, the population is the restaurants in the city of Bandung. Technique sampling used in this study is proportional random sampling technique. To test the research hypothesis, a simple linear regression analysis using SPSS was used. The results showed that the product knowledge of edible flower in restaurants at Bandung in the average category. Likewise, the purchase intention of edible flower restaurants in the city of Bandung is in the sufficient category too. The result of the regression analysis shows that product knowledge has a significant effect on the purchase intention of edible flower restaurants in the city of Bandung. The determinant coefficient value of 0.828 shows that the effect of product knowledge on purchase intention edible flower restaurants in Bandung is 82.8% and the remaining 17.2% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study.

Detroit has long been noted for the difficulties its residents face with basic food provisioning, but after an extended absence, national chain grocery stores are now returning to the city. Whole Foods Market is the first major national corporate grocer to reopen in the city following a period of disinvestment by the sector as a whole going back to the mid-2000s. As the city moves through a series of dramatic political and economic upheavals defined by fiscal crisis, emergency manager control, and the largest municipal Chapter 9 bankruptcy in U.S. history, food has become a focal point for debates over economic and racial inequalities, and contrasting ideals of urban governance in the city. In this research brief, we describe an ethnographic project that examines how concepts of food justice and ethical food relate to urban governance in Detroit. We seek to explore how Whole Foods Market and Detroiters engaged in shopping and activism articulate “just,” “good,” and “quality” food in ways that imply varying visions of governance for the city, community, and self. We suggest that Detroit's moral economy of food could offer a particularly fruitful venue for understanding divergent visions of the city's future and the relationship between food and politics.

Full textAbstract:
Although entomophagy as a diet has been known since the dawn of humanity, it is still considered a novelty to the European market and consumers. This study was performed to evaluate the acceptance of a trend promoted by the FAO diet regarding selected young Polish consumers and it presents the results of a survey conducted among them. The primary goal of this study was to assess the acceptance of new edible insect products with mealworms Tenebrio molitor L. and house crickets Acheta domesticus L. These products were prepared in the form of four different types of bars; one without insects, one with whole mealworms, one with ground mealworms and one with ground crickets. According to consumers, the worst bars were the ones which contained the whole mealworms. Additionally, the main problems with accepting this product were caused by the colour of the ground crickets and visible whole pieces of the insects in the edible bars. The study proved that the acceptance of insect bars as food depends on the tastiness and smell. The acceptance of bars also depends on variants. The basic bar had the highest acceptance rate, while the bar with whole mealworms had the lowest one.

Full textAbstract:
This article addresses Chinese contemporary artist Song Dong's July 2009 edible installation-cum-performance at the former PaceWildenstein Gallery in New York City, in which he created landscapes out of foodstuffs. The landscapes alluded to penjing, an artistic practice of creating miniature sceneries using natural elements. Their accompanying inscriptions on the gallery walls, on the other hand, humorously appropriated colophons commonly attached to hanging scroll paintings. The installation departed from these traditional artistic forms, however, as the viewers literally consumed the landscapes. The corporeal implications of Song's work reference the body-centric performances of Tehching Hsieh and Zhang Huan, as well as the relational aesthetics events staged by Rirkrit Tiravanija, while Song's broader emphasis on ephemerality, drawn from Zen Buddhism, points to the transience of bodily needs and desires, even as he aims to fulfill them.

Full textAbstract:
“Trash Eaters.” an ethnography of the freegan community of New York City, explores what it means to eat trash, by choice, in an urban metropolis. Freegans aim to remove themselves as much as possible from the conventional economy; they find, repurpose, share, and barter to obtain food and other necessities, including gleaning from garbage bags left on the street. This paper investigates city waste, the quantity and quality of edible food within the trash, and the tricks and techniques “trash eaters” employ to find and harvest the edible found food. Additionally, the paper traverses the beliefs and taboos that come from crossing a social boundary, from the sidewalk to the trash heap, and the value that can come from the transgressive action: self-sufficiency, reinvention, and wasting less.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the spatial distribution and speciation of chromium in water, soil, and edible plants in tannery-contaminated areas at Modjo city, Ethiopia. Modjo city is one of the industrial zones in the country, which is dominated by tanneries due to the ease of effluent discharge and water use from the nearby Modjo River crossing the city. The river, which received chromium-containing effluent from the tanneries, is also used for urban gardening of edible plants besides other domestic purposes. 12 water and 12 soil samples from contaminated areas and 6 samples from different edible plants grown nearby tanneries were collected following the standard procedure to predict the level of chromium contamination in the environment and its health risk. The total chromium in Modjo River was 20.6 mg L−1 in the upstream region which later was significantly reduced (r = –0.93, p < 0.05 ) to 0.126 mg L−1 in the very downstream region. However, the Cr (VI) concentration ranges from 0.23 ± 0.032 to 2.82 ± 0.02 mg L−1 with a statistically insignificant decrease (r = -0.76, p > 0.05 ) to the downstream sampling points. The lowest Cr (III) and Cr (VI) concentrations in the soil were 2.78 ± 0.37 and 4.57 ± 1.01 mg kg−1, respectively, which are higher ( p < 0.05 ) than the control and the guideline values. Similarly, the chromium concentration in the edible plants was also 7.98 ± 0.63 mg kg−1 for green pepper to 14.45 ± 0.34 mg kg−1 for carrot with a trend of carrot > beetroot > lettuce > cabbage > tomato > green pepper. The chromium in the plants from the contaminated area was significantly higher ( p < 0.05 ) than the control area, which is between 0.14 mg kg−1 for lettuce and 0.31 ± 0.01 mg kg−1 for tomato. It is also confirmed that the root part of plants accumulates more chromium than the leaf and the fruits. It is concluded that water and soil in tannery surroundings and edible plants grown in the area contain chromium concentrations higher than the recommended amount for a healthy environment and human consumption. Therefore, appropriate wastewater treatment, stringent regulations, and public awareness are recommended to reduce chromium contamination and its impact on public health and the environment.

Full textAbstract:
Nature-based solutions have not been able to actively involve citizens and to address successfully food security, poverty alleviation, and inequality in urban areas. The Edible City approach promises a strategic step towards the development of sustainable, livable, and healthy cities. We introduce the conceptional framework of Edible City Solutions (ECS), including different forms of urban farming combined with closed loop systems for sustainable water, nutrient, and waste management. We review scientific evidence on ECS benefits for urban regeneration and describe the status quo of ECS in Rotterdam, Andernach, Oslo, Heidelberg, and Havana as case studies. We provide an analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) to explore the capacity of ECS to enhance multifunctionality of urban landscapes with special focus on social cohesion and quality of life. Based on this we identify and discuss strategies for fostering socially relevant implementations for the case study cities and beyond.

Full textAbstract:
Current global agricultural practices are recognized as unsustainable. The increase in overall human population as well as the global trend of rural to urban migration, partially as a result of historically and continual unsustainable agricultural practices, exacerbates the vicious cycle of poverty and hunger in developing countries. Furthermore, cities and regions in developed countries practice unsustainable food production, distribution and consumption patterns, and as a result, exceed their global ecological footprint (Rees 2009). Consequently, the world is facing a global food (FAO 2009) and water crisis (UN Sick Water 2010). Cities and Regions must learn to feed themselves to address local food insecurity as well as protect from the climate effects of increased urbanization, including the Urban Heat Island effect (UHIe) by optimizing and fully integrating the local ecosystem services of food, water and forest within a tightly woven compact urban form through the implementation of strategic urban and regional food system planning. Cities can mitigate climate change and reduce the UHIe, by implementing sustainable intensive urban agriculture approaches through policy and zoning interventions that include concepts such as intensively productive urban agriculture that includes green roofs, vertical farming and greenways as continuously productive and edible urban landscapes, referred to in this paper as continuously productive urban agriculture and forestation (CPUAF) in the private and public realm. A highly participative, adaptive systems approach is explored as the key to sustainability within an economic world order that included corporate social responsibility and social enterprise as the foundation for the integration of multiple synergies. An increasing body of evidence often links urban forestation with urban greenery initiatives, as a carbon sink to reduce UHI effects, to reduce GHG emissions and as a tool for urban beautification and place making (ISDR: 2009,109). Urban agriculture, through the production of local food is increasingly recognized as a means to reduce fossil fuel emissions by reducing transportation and production outputs, to provide a secure local food source, enhance biodiversity and educate the public regarding food source while fostering a sense of community, environmental awareness and stewardship. This thesis explores the links between intensive urban agriculture and forestation, and the relationship between climate change, and the UHI’s as an adaptation and mitigation process in global cities, implemented as a interconnected, integrated, holistic urban management approach that has a further benefit of providing food security and a sustainable and local urban food source.Dissertation (MTRP)--University of Pretoria, 2012.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the vulnerability of cities and set a new focus on planning sustainable and resilient cities. This thesis aims to assess the edible city, where edible plants are grown in public spaces, in terms of sustainability and resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic and evaluate its contribution to urban sustainability and resilience. Further, it explores the implications for planning an edible city. As part of this case study, 10 semi-structured interviews were conducted in two edible cities: Edible City Andernach, Germany and Incredible Edible Todmorden, England. The results of this study demonstrate that both edible cities contribute to sustainability, but each is skewed towards one sustainability dimension. Concerning resilience, the study illustrates that both cases are able to withstand the pandemic impacts and adapt particularly in their focus sustainability dimension. However, general resilience is negatively impacted by a stance of waiting-it-out. For planning an edible city, a combination of a top-down and bottom-up approach is recommended. In conclusion, this thesis shows that the edible city contributes to urban sustainability and resilience through the continuing provision of ecosystem services and co-benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic.

L’intento progettuale di questa ricerca è quello di indagare una possibile integrazione tra concept architettonico ed empatia ambientale sfruttando le potenzialità offerte oggi dalle piattaforme BIM. L’espediente è la progettazione di un Fashion Hub nella città di nuova costruzione Masdar City, ad Abu Dhabi, EAU. La scelta del sito rispecchia in maniera simbolica e strategica gli obiettivi della sfida progettuale: coniugare la vocazione Green di Masdar, che si promette di diventare la prima città sostenibile al mondo, con una ricerca architettonica rispettosa della cultura del luogo. Quella che viene definita “empatia ambientale” viene infatti qui interpretata non solo sotto il punto di vista di un progetto eco-sostenibile, ma come frutto di un’integrazione tra strategie passive di efficientamento energetico e il genius loci. Una risposta ad una tendenza globale di sacrificare in nome di una architettura eco-tech i caratteri tradizionali del posto. Su questo sfondo si affronta contemporaneamente il tema dell’architettura per la moda. Seguendo dunque il Masterplan originario di Norman Foster per Masdar City, è stato scelto come sito del nuovo Fashion Hub un lotto d’angolo nel cuore di quella che dovrà essere l’area commerciale della città. Il concept nasce dall’analisi combinata dei caratteri della Città Araba, del clima del posto e dei sistemi tradizionali adottati dall’architettura vernacolare per far fronte alle difficili condizioni ambientali della penisola araba. In particolar modo si è affrontato il tema del raffrescamento passivo reinterpretando le tipiche torri del vento locali, della raccolta delle acque piovane, dell’ombreggiamento e del controllo della luce naturale. Per queste ultime, in particolare, la modellazione sul software Revit ha permesso di sfruttare le analisi integrate sul Daylight, secondo il protocollo LEED, per regolare l’apporto di luce naturale attraverso un sistema di facciata parametrica in sintonia con il concept architettonico globale.

La tesi nasce dallo studio della tematica dell’economia circolare e ne propone un’applicazione all’interno di un contesto urbano.
Nella prima parte vengono analizzati i principi cardine di questo modello economico e sociale, che contrapponendosi al consolidato modello lineare di sviluppo, si propone di mantenere le risorse ed i materiali al loro massimo potenziale, in un sistema di cicli chiusi che evita gli sprechi e crea continuamente valore.
Nel contesto odierno le città si trasformano rapidamente e costantemente in termini di dimensioni e di densità, la tecnologia avanza a ritmo incalzante, si evidenziano serie minacce per l’ambiente, ma emergono diverse possibilità di sviluppo.
Il concetto di "metabolismo urbano" considera le aree urbane come ecosistemi complessi e studia le dinamiche interne alle città cercando di mettere in relazione i flussi in entrata e in uscita per bilanciarli e collegarli ciclicamente. Questa teoria si fonda sullo sfruttamento di possibili sinergie a livello urbano o metropolitano tendendo ad un modello più sostenibile ed integrato di gestione delle risorse.
L’elaborato si completa con una proposta di intervento progettuale, che applicando i presupposti e le strategie circolari, consente la riqualificazione di alcuni spazi urbani. Il caso studio è stato individuato in due aree strategiche della città di Imola, poste ai margini del centro storico. La riqualificazione di questi spazi è stata elaborata attraverso il progetto di nuove infrastrutture per la mobilità, spazi per l’abitare, per il commercio, per il lavoro, per l’ospitalità e per lo scambio ed il riutilizzo di oggetti e di risorse in senso lato.
Gli interventi proposti si concentrano sulle tematiche proprie della città circolare quali la condivisione di spazi, strumenti e materiali, la generazione di energia da fonti rinnovabili, il recupero integrato di acqua e sostanze nutritive e l’ottimizzazione dei servizi.

Find full textAbstract:
As in the EU more than 70% of inhabitants live in urban areas, acting for achieving more efficient and low-carbon mobility is crucial to ensure sustainable urban systems and to tackle important challenges such as reduction of CO2 emissions, air and noise pollution and traffic congestion. Identifying effective strategies and designing solutions that boost multimodal mobility and effective interchange among different sustainable means of transport can be a relevant contribution in this sense.
This thesis has been developed in the framework of the Interreg Europe MATCH-UP project and aims to give a contribution for achieving this goal. After a general overview about the concepts of intermodality and initiatives undertaken at European and Italian levels for boosting a more efficient and sustainable mobility, the research identified different transport nodes that occur in urban environments and the features that lead to successful experiences. Consequently, a set of key factors that ensure the efficiency and urban integration of the nodes within the urban environment has been identified. This identification of the key factors has been the starting point for defining an articulated evaluation system that has the aim of identifying the main shortcomings of existing transport nodes and supporting their redevelopment and reorganization.
The evaluation system was designed by rating the weight of the different key factors according with the importance of the different interchange nodes (rank) and the services to be provided, in order to establish which are the most appropriate in each situation. Therefore the thesis proposes a methodology for the evaluation of new projects, making evident their enhanced effectiveness in the different domains that affect a transport node. Finally, the methodology has been applied to the case study of Rimini’s railway station, where a new redevelopment of the station and its surroundings is foreseen.

Find full textAbstract:
Dopo la caduta del Muro, la città di Berlino è stata oggetto di un dibattito teorico-architettonico di respiro mondiale. Il modello di “ricostruzione critica”, che ne è uscito vincitore, si è tuttavia imposto in maniera assiomatica e la sua ripetizione su larga scala comporta il rischio del venir meno della complessità urbana figlia della travagliata storia della capitale tedesca.
Pertanto, l’indagine progettuale - che si svolge nell’eccezionale cornice del comparto di Hertzallee Nord nel cuore della City West centro culturale, commerciale e turistico di Berlino - trae spunto da visioni alternative alla città immaginata da Hans Stimmann.
In opposizione alle previsioni di edificazione diffusa, nel progetto viene dato largo spazio alle zone verdi, di cui una parte è pensata come estensione del limitrofo Großer Tiergarten e l’altra accoglie il circo che si è stabilito ormai da anni nell’area. A tale risultato si perviene grazie alla concentrazione dei volumi in un grande edificio-piattaforma, generato dalle variazioni prodotte da un sistema sequenziale di setti; esso intende proporsi come “condensatore sociale urbano”, in cui le attività ormai consolidate nel comparto (legate all’università, all’autostazione e agli spazi turistico-ricreativi) possano coesistere dinamicamente. Al grande sviluppo orizzontale dell’opera fa da contrappunto la verticalità di una torre-studentato, che emerge dalla piattaforma stessa grazie alla prosecuzione in elevato di alcuni dei setti. Essa, assieme ad un planetario sferico, si affaccia sulla copertura dell’edificio, nuovo suolo sopraelevato e futuro aggregatore della socialità urbana.

Find full textAbstract:
La tesi tratta il tema della densificazione urbana assunta come metodo capace di conciliare le attuali richieste di sviluppo urbano, sostenibilità e rigenerazione del patrimonio esistente. Si propone una nuova metodologia per applicare in modo sistematico la strategia densificativa all’ambiente urbanizzato.Tale metodo si sviluppa a due scale: urbanistica e edilizia.Si definiscono per prima cosa le strategie pratiche che si applicheranno per implementare la città compatta: addizione volumetrica (in particolare tramite inserimento di add-ons ed infill urbano), riutilizzo e sostituzione.Queste operazioni devono necessariamente essere accompagnate da interventi volti alla rigenerazione e riqualificazione (in particolare architettonica ed energetica) dell’esistente. Si procede poi con la selezione di una serie di indicatori e parametri utili alla valutazione della sostenibilità della densificazione, raggruppati per aree tematiche e declinati in base alla scala di rappresentazione.Operativamente il metodo si attua per fasi: gli indicatori di sostenibilità vengono applicati prima alla scala dell’ambito (accertamento di fattibilità), poi a quella dell’isolato urbano (per la comparazione tra blocchi ed individuazione della localizzazione più vantaggiosa) e infine a quella edilizia (mettendo a confronto la sostenibilità degli scenari di densificazione e riqualificazione praticabili). Questa metodologia viene applicata a due differenti ambiti urbani nella città di Bologna per poterne verificare la validità. Si giunge alla conclusione che la densificazione urbana così attuata può essere una metodologia sostenibile in grado di fornire una valida risposta al problema della carenza di abitazioni, al controllo dello ‘sprawl’ urbano e alla necessità di rigenerazione ed efficientamento della città esistente. Inoltre, la valutazione proposta di sostenibilità legata alla performance, può essere utilizzata come alternativa ai più tradizionali standard urbanistici legati alla quantità.

Find full textAbstract:
In Emilia-Romagna, la legge n.24/2017 obbliga i comuni a adottare il Piano Urbanistico Generale, il quale prevede, al fine di promuovere la rigenerazione urbana, un’approfondita analisi del tessuto urbano esistente e la rilevazione degli edifici che presentano una scarsa qualità in termini di efficienza energetica. Risulta evidente dunque l’elaborazione di nuove azioni coordinate a livello di pianificazione.
L’obiettivo dello studio è la proposta di un set di scenari di rigenerazione e priorità di intervento per la riqualificazione energetica diffusa del Comune di Nonantola. Queste sono elaborate a partire dallo studio di casi applicativi e modelli di governance messi in atto dalla città di Nijmegen (Paesi Bassi), dove la transizione energetica e un tema centrale ed è ben integrata nelle strategie di pianificazione energetica.
Nei primi capitoli, la ricerca si concentra sul caso olandese, delineando i principali attori nel settore abitativo e il quadro legislativo adottato in merito alla transizione energetica. Successivamente, il focus viene spostato sulla città di Nijmegen, dove vengono analizzati sia il sistema di governance che l’amministrazione locale sta implementando sul suddetto tema, sia casi pratici a supporto della ricerca.
La seconda sezione dello studio si sofferma sul caso italiano. Si analizzano in prima istanza le principali problematiche riguardanti la riqualificazione energetica, e in particolare il quadro legislativo urbanistico emiliano-romagnolo, per mettere in luce la necessità di integrare il tema energetico degli strumenti di pianificazione e rigenerazione del territorio. Infine, il caso di Nonantola: si elabora una proposta che consiste nell’analisi del tessuto residenziale costruito in merito a tematiche rilevanti per la riqualificazione energetica, e si definiscono dunque degli areali che determinano alla scala del comparto caratteristiche tipologiche simili, accompagnate da linee guida e priorità di intervento da seguire.

Find full textAbstract:
La distruzione e i danni causati dall’uragano Sandy e il lungo processo di ripresa tutt’ora in corso, hanno evidenziato l’importanza di adattare le aree costiere di New York City in modo che in futuro possano resistere e riprendersi rapidamente da uragani e inondazioni. Migliorare la resilienza delle comunità costiere significa proteggere e supportare la loro vivacità e il contributo che queste danno all’economia della città. I quartieri di New York City situati vicino all’acqua devono affrontare la grande sfida di adattarsi ai rischi di inondazione, che sono in costante aumento. Sostituire gli edifici esistenti non è una soluzione sostenibile. È di importanza critica, invece, stimolare il retrofitting degli edifici esistenti con modalità che siano praticabili dal
punto di vista economico, sociale e della sostenibilità. D’altro canto tali interventi devono essere tesi a soddisfare gli obbiettivi del piano strategico della città di New York di riduzione delle emissioni di CO2 dell 80% entro il 2050. Questo studio propone le strategie di add-on di ABRACADABRA come soluzione efficace per rispondere ai problemi di realizzabilità sia per quanto riguarda il floodproofing e sia per quanto concerne gli interventi di deep energy renovation. Tale approccio considera la vendita o la locazione degli add-on come mossa strategica essenziale per finanaziare tali interventi e ridurre con successo la vulnerabilità delle zone costiere e al contempo promuovere il retrofitting energetico su larga scala.
L’efficacia delle strategie di add-ons di ABRACADABRA è stata simulata su un isolato di row houses di Brooklyn. Grazie alla creazione di strumenti parametrici ad-hoc, sono stati elaborati differenti scenari che analizzano il rapporto costi-benefici, in modo da individuare i limiti nella realizzabilità degli interventi. In via del tutto speculativa, si è provato infine a misurare l’impatto economico di possibili guadagni derivanti dal net metering e dal footprint trading.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractPoor physical and land use planning underpin the chaotic evolution and expansion in cities and towns in sub-Saharan Africa. This situation amplifies urban vulnerability to climate change. Worse, urban landscapes are rarely considered part of the discourse on urban development in sub-Saharan Africa, let alone in climate change adaptation. Yet, landscapes are known to play crucial roles in social, economic, and cultural resilience in cities and towns. Hence, designing basic forms of appealing and functional urban landscapes that support multiple ecosystem services is essential to the drive towards resilience, which relates to the ability to maintain or improve the supply of life support services and products (such as food and water) in the face of disturbance. In this chapter, the idea of transforming idle urban spaces into multifunctional edible urban landscapes is introduced and explored as instrumental for cost-effective adaptation and resilience to climate change in cities and towns in sub-Saharan Africa. Multifunctional edible urban landscape is defined here as a managed landscape that integrates food production and ornamental design, in harmonious coexistence with other urban structures to promote or provide targeted, multiple services. These services include food security, scenic beauty, green spaces for active living and learning, jobs and livelihoods support, environmental protection, climate adaptation, and overall urban resilience. This approach constitutes a triple-win multifunctional land use system that is beneficial to landowners, city managers, and the general community. This chapter explores the benefits, challenges, and prospects for practically transforming urban idle spaces into multifunctional edible urban landscapes using an example project from Ghana. The chapter shows that multifunctional edible urban landscape transformation for resilience is practically feasible, and sheds light on the possibility of the food production component paying for landscaping and landscape management. It concludes with thoughts on actions required across sectors and multiple scales, including mobilizing stakeholders, laws, policies, and incentives, to actualize multifunctional edible urban landscapes as key transformational components of resilience in sub-Saharan Africa.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 3 investigates Sacramento, California, as a culinary contested landscape. As the city promotes its new urban marketing brand, “The Farm to Fork Capital of America,” to create a new vibrant sense of place, it does so by upgrading downtown to reinforce the farm-to-table concept. Through urban renewal, restaurateurs strive toward regulating food trucks out of the city. As a result, Mexican taco truck owners struggle to remain part of the cultural landscape. This chapter critically examines Sacramento’s marketing campaign--of incorporating agricultural processes into the city’s image--to explore the country-city relationship, as well as how class, culture, and cuisine influence a city’s architecture. It concludes by presenting the definition of gastronomic gentrification.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses a new approach in object extraction from aerial images with association of point cloud data. The extracted objects are captured in a 3D space for reconstructing a 3D model. The process includes three steps. In the first step the targeted objects are extracted from point cloud data and captured in a 3D space. The objects include buildings, trees, roads and background or terrain. In the second step the extracted objects are registered to the aerial image for assisting the object detection. Finally, the extracted objects from the aerial image are registered on the original 3D model for conversion to the point cloud data and then are captured in a 3D space for reconstructing a new 3D model. The final 3D model is flexible and editable. The objects can be edited, audited, and manipulated without affecting another objects or ruin the 3D model. Also, more data can be integrated in the 3D model improve its quality. The aspects of this project are: to reconstruct the final 3D model, and then each object can be interactively updated or modified without affecting the whole 3D model, and to provide a database for other users such as 3D GIS, city management and planning, Disaster Management System (DBS), and Smart City application.

Full textAbstract:
It is necessary that several applications should be done by the firms to adaptation to the changing market conditions and taking advantage of loyality. The first-major one of these applications is “empowerment” which is a modern management application. Efforts and labor of employees, who are so important for the firms’ developing and growing process, make valuable the firms. As businesses are aware of this, give power, responsibility, authority, and confidence to the employees; and thus they will be empowered. When the employees feel that they are empowered, their loyality will increase to the employer. This is important for the firms in today's hard conditions. In this study, it was investigated how was applied empowerment in the banking sector that there is intensive competition and how the empowerment effect the loyality level on the organization. The study is done via first data acquired from questionnary which were applied to 382 employees in 20 banks in Edirne, Tekirdağ and Kırklareli city-centers, and seconder data is from the literrature. The reliability test, demographical dispersion of employees, interpretation of employee empowerment and organizational commitment’s surveys, factor analiysis, variation tests (Kolmogrov-Smirnov Z, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis), regression and correlation analysis was made by SPSS. As a result of the study, it is concluded that, the empowerment applications in the banking sector, increased the loyality of the employee to the organizations.
