Abstract:
Afin de réduire le bruit dans les villes, il est nécessaire d’avoir une bonne compréhension de la propagation acoustique en milieu urbain. Il existe aujourd’hui des logiciels commerciaux qui permettent de modéliser des champs acoustiques urbains à des coûts de calcul raisonnables. Toutefois, ces outils sont basés principalement sur des approches énergétiques qui ne contiennent pas d’informations sur la phase. Pour cette raison, elles ne permettent pas la prise en compte d’effets d’interférence (par exemple, des résonances), nous offrant ainsi une description physique limitée du champacoustique. Inversement, des méthodes ondulatoires classiques (FEM, BEM, FDTD) permettent de prendre en compte ces effets. Or, en raison de la discrétisation et de la grande extension du domaine de propagation, leur utilisation est généralement limitée aux très basses fréquences.L’objectif principal de cette thèse est de développer des méthodes ondulatoires performants, dans le domaine fréquentiel et temporel, nous permettant de modéliser la propagation acoustique dans des zones urbaines étendues. L’approche proposée est basée sur une formulation mixte modale–éléments finis. L’idée clé de cette méthode estde considérer la rue comme un guide d’ondes ouvert, dont la base modale est composée de modes de fuite (modes qui rayonnent une partie de leur énergie en se propageant). Cette approche combine une description multimodale du champ acoustique dans la direction longitudinale et un calcul par éléments finis des modes propres transverses.L’approche a été mise en oeuvre précédemment à l’échelle d’une seule rue. Dans cette thèse, nous nous intéressons à l’extension de la méthode à l’échelle du quartier, afin de modéliser la propagation dans des milieux contenant un grand nombre de rues interconnectées. Une version simplifiée dans le domaine temporel, contenant uniquement lemode de propagatif le moins fuyant, est également développée.En nous basant sur ces approches, nous étudions des phénomènes ondulatoires qui peuvent apparaître dans des configurations urbaines particulières. Plus précisément, nous nous intéressons à l’interaction des modes de la rue avec des résonances dans une cour intérieure adjacente, ainsi qu’à la formation de bandes de fréquences interditesdans des réseaux périodiques de rues interconnectées. Le résultat principal de cette étude est que, malgré la forte présence de pertes par radiation dans le milieu, des effets de résonance importants peuvent encore se produire. Les résultats présentés dans ce manuscrit mettent en évidence l’importance d’une approche ondulatoire pour décrirecorrectement des champs acoustiques aux basses fréquences, et ils suggèrent l’usage potentiel de ces phénomènes afin de contrôler la propagation acoustique dans le milieu.Enfin, nous présentons une étude sur l’utilisation de métasurfaces (surfaces contenant un réseau de résonateurs) pour améliorer la performance des murs antibruit. Nous démontrons que, grâce à l’excitation des résonances locales sur la métasurface, il est possible d’obtenir des propriétés non conventionnelles, comme par exemple des angles de réflexion négatifs ou de l’absorption acoustique aux basses fréquences
The improvement of the urban sound environment requires a good understanding of the acoustic propagation in urban areas. Available commercial softwares give the possibility to simulate urban acoustic fields at relatively low computational costs. However, these tools are mainly based on energy methods that do not contain information on the phase. Therefore, these tools are unable to capture interference effects (e.g., resonances), providing a limited physical description of the acoustic field. Conversely, classical wave methods such as FEM, BEM or FDTD give the possibility to model interference effects, but their use is often restricted to very low frequencies due to discretisation and the huge extension of the propagation domain.The main goal of this thesis is to develop efficient wave methods for the acoustic propagation modelling in extended urban areas, both in the frequency and time domain. The proposed approach is based on a coupled modal–finite elements formulation. The key idea is to consider the urban canyon as an open waveguide with a modal basis composedof leaky modes, i.e., modes that radiate part of their energy into the atmosphere as they propagate. The approach combines a multimodal description of the acoustic field in the longitudinal direction and a finite elements computation of the transverseeigenmodes. This coupled approach, which has been successfully implemented at the scale of a single street, is extended in the present manuscript at a larger scale (the neighbourhood scale), in order to model problems arising in propagation domains containing many interconnected streets. A time domain version of the method, containing only the least damped mode, is also proposed.Using these methods, we investigate wave phenomena arising in specific urban configurations, as forbidden frequency bands in periodic networks of interconnected streets, and resonances in inner yards. It is found that, despite the presence of significant radiative losses in the propagation medium, strong interference effects are still observed. Not only this result highlights the relevance of a wave approach to describe accurately urban acoustic fields at low frequencies, but it suggest the potential use of these phenomena to control the acoustic propagation in urban environments.The last part of this dissertation presents a preliminary study on the use of metasurfaces (surfaces decorated with an array of resonators) to improve the performance of noise barriers. It is shown that, exciting resonances in these structures, it is possible to achieve some unconventional behaviours, including negative angles of reflection and low frequency sound absorption

Urban planners need a fast, simple model to assess the impact of early design phase iterations of neighborhood layout on the microclimate. Specifically, this model should be able to predict the expected urban heat island intensity and the locations in neighborhood layouts that are prone to pollutant retention. Current models are inadequate for this purpose because they use computationally intensive techniques to solve for flow through a neighborhood and often require a strong technical background for effective use of the models. In this thesis, we use analytical equations and empirical relationships to calculate the expected wind speeds in isolated, idealized street canyons. We demonstrate that flow in street canyons is driven by momentum exchange with the air above. We discuss the importance of flow separation and turbulent exchange between the urban canopy layer and the urban boundary layer for removing heat and pollutants from street canyons. Next, we introduce a method to parameterize this exchange and extend this work to more realistic street canyons and idealized neighborhoods. We evaluate this work using computational fluid dynamics and comparison to experimental results and models from the literature. We examine cases where the flow is influenced by buoyancy effects and assess the applicability of our work in these situations. Finally, we address how this work could be further developed into generalized planning guidelines and incorporated into a comprehensive model for urban planners.

Abstract:
Air pollution is known to cause detrimental health effects in cities and specially on the most vulnerable population. Having access to reliable air pollutant concentration data at street-level in urban areas can be crucial to mitigate the problem. In this thesis a street-scale air quality modelling system for the city of Barcelona (Spain) has been developed, evaluated and applied to an impact study. Aiming to produce more accurate air pollutant concentrations at street-level, we coupled a mesoscale air quality modelling system (CALIOPE) with an urban dispersion model (R-LINE). The developed modelling system, CALIOPE-Urban, incorporates novel methodologies to combine regional- to street-scale models. We faced two main methodological challenges in this thesis. First, the Gaussian dispersion model R-LINE was initially developed for open roads while Barcelona is a very built-up city, where diverse geometrical patterns cohabit. In order to apply R-LINE over Barcelona its meteorology has been adapted to street canyons. Second, the mesoscale meteorology and chemistry outputs of CALIOPE had to be adapted to drive pollutant dispersion and provide background concentrations to R-LINE, respectively. As a consequence, we developed a new methodology to calculate background concentrations at roof-top level and a vertical mixing parametrization to combine them with street-level freshly emitted pollutants. The vertical mixing parametrization considers urban geometry and atmospheric stability to calculate surface level background concentrations. In order to estimate turbulent parameters within a street canyon we built a new method to estimate local surface roughness specific for each street. In the first evaluation, we aimed to give a more accurate representation of NO2 spatio-temporal variability across Barcelona city with CALIOPE-Urban than with the mesoscale system alone. The temporal variability has been evaluated using measurements from five traffic sites and one urban background site for April-May 2013 and we have found that CALIOPE-Urban gives a better agreement in traffic sites. The evaluation of the spatial variability has been carried out using 182 passive dosimeters that were distributed across Barcelona during two weeks for February-March 2017. CALIOPE-Urban has also shown a more realistic distribution than the mesoscale system. In the second evaluation, we have evaluated CALIOPE-Urban results using measurements of horizontal and vertical BC concentration profiles from an experimental campaign from 2016 and 2017. At the horizontal profiles, we have found that the model reproduces the profile shape well and a pronounced fall-off within the initial 5-10 m, which is steeper in the observations. The model has generally reproduced the homogeneity of the vertical observed profile well. We have identified that our methodology to estimate vertical mixing gives a better performance in street canyons than in open roads. In the application, CALIOPE-Urban at 20 m horizontal resolution has been used to study the impact of excess diesel light duty vehicles (LDV) NOx emisson air quality in Barcelona city in comparison with CALIOPE at 4 km and 1 km resolutions. Results have shown that NOx traffic emissions in Barcelona city would decrease about a 30% if diesel LDV would comply with the EU legal limits. As a consequence, NO2 concentrations at street-level would be reduced about about 14% using CALIOPE 4 km, 17% using CALIOPE 1km, and 20% using CALIOPE-Urban. In summary, the works carried out in this thesis produced very valuable results for a better understanding of street-level air pollution dynamics in Barcelona city. The application of a street-scale model like CALIOPE-Urban provides better estimates of the impact of specific emission scenarios on the air quality of the city. The methodology of CALIOPE-Urban may be replicated for other cities in the future if the required input data is available.
La contaminación del aire causa efectos perjudiciales para la salud en las ciudades y especialmente en los sectores de la población más vulnerables. Para mitigar este problema, es importante tener acceso a datos fiables de concentración de contaminantes en el aire a nivel de calle en zonas urbanas. En esta tesis hemos desarrollado, evaluado y aplicado un sistema de modelización de calidad del aire a escala de calle para la ciudad de Barcelona (España). Para ello, hemos acoplado un sistema de modelización regional de calidad del aire (CALIOPE) con un modelo de dispersión de contaminantes del tráfico rodado (R-LINE). Esta tesis nos ha presentado dos desafíos metodológicos principales. Primero, el modelo de dispersión gaussiano R-LINE se desarrolló inicialmente para zonas abiertas, mientras que Barcelona es una ciudad muy urbanizada, donde conviven calles con diversos patrones geométricos. Para aplicar R-LINE sobre Barcelona, su meteorología se ha adaptado a calles con edificios a ambos lados (tipo cañón urbano). En segundo lugar, hemos adaptado las salidas meteorológicas y químicas del sistema CALIOPE para facilitar la dispersión de contaminantes y proporcionar concentraciones de fondo a nivel de calle en R-LINE. Con ese objetivo, hemos desarrollado una nueva metodología para calcular las concentraciones de fondo por encima de los edificios y una parametrización de la mezcla atmosférica vertical para combinarlas con contaminantes recién emitidos a nivel de calle. En la primera evaluación, nuestro objetivo ha sido proporcionar una representación más precisa de la variabilidad espacio-temporal de NO2 en toda la ciudad de Barcelona con CALIOPE-Urban que con el sistema regional CALIOPE. La variabilidad temporal se ha evaluado utilizando mediciones realizadas en cinco zonas urbanas expuestas a tráfico y en una zona de fondo urbano en Abril-Mayo de 2013. Hemos hallado que CALIOPE-Urban ofrece una mayor precisión cerca del tráfico. Para la evaluación de la variabilidad espacial hemos utilizado las medidas de 182 dosímetros pasivos distribuidos por Barcelona en Febrero-Marzo de 2017. CALIOPE-Urban ha mostrado una distribución más realista que el sistema regional también comparando sus resultados con estas observaciones. En la segunda evaluación, hemos evaluado CALIOPE-Urban utilizando mediciones de perfiles horizontales y verticales de concentración de Carbono Negro (CN) obtenidos durante una campaña experimental en Barcelona. El nuevo conjunto de medidas contiene 29 perfiles de dispersión horizontales de CN y 4 perfiles verticales de CN medidos en entornos urbanos heterogéneos en 2016 y 2017. En los perfiles horizontales, hemos averiguado que el modelo reproduce bien la forma del perfil y la caída pronunciada en los 5-10 m iniciales, aunque esta caída es más pronunciada en las observaciones. El modelo generalmente ha reproducido bien la homogeneidad del perfil vertical observado. Hemos identificado que nuestra metodología para estimar la mezcla atmosférica vertical ofrece un mejor rendimiento en los cañones urbanos que en las zonas abiertas. En la aplicación, hemos utilizado CALIOPE-Urban a 20 m de resolución horizontal para estudiar el impacto del exceso de emisiones de NOx de turismos y furgonetas diésel en el aire de la ciudad de Barcelona en comparación con CALIOPE a 4 km y 1 km de resolución horizontal. Los resultados han demostrado que las emisiones de tráfico de NOx en la ciudad de Barcelona disminuirían aproximadamente un 30 % si los turismos y furgonetas diésel cumplieran con los límites legales de la UE. Como consecuencia, hemos descubierto que las concentraciones de NO2 a nivel de calle se reducirían en aproximadamente un 14 % usando CALIOPE 4 km, un 17 % usando CALIOPE 1km y un 20 % usando CALIOPE-Urban.

Abstract:
This research, denoted MILOS (Multi-objective Integrated Large-scale Optimized ramp metering System) is a hierarchical structure for solution of the large-scale freeway management problem to address the key features of this problem (dynamic state changes, stochasticity, multi-dimensionality, unpredictability, partial-observability, and existence of multiple objectives). MILOS decomposes the freeway control problem into subproblems along temporal/spatial boundaries and is composed of three primary components: SPC-based anomaly detection and optimization scheduling, area-wide coordination layer, and predictive-cooperative real-time (PC-RT) optimization layer. The area-wide coordination component of the hierarchical control system considers the impact of queue growth on the adjacent interchanges in a quadratic programming optimization model with a multi-criterion objective function. The formulation of the area-wide optimization problem is augmented with overflow variables to guarantee a feasible solution. The nominal solution of the areawide coordination problem is then modified in real-time by the locally traffic-reactive, PC-RT algorithm based on a linear-program using a linearized dynamic difference equation implementation of the macroscopic FREFLO model. The PC-RT formulation pro-actively plans to utilize opportunities to disperse queues or hold back additional vehicles when freeway and ramp demand conditions are appropriate. The cost coefficients of this optimization problem is linked to the solution of the area-wide coordination problem by using information on the dual of the solution to the area-wide coordination problem. The optimization runs of the area-wide coordination problem and the PC-RT optimization problems at each ramp are scheduled by a demand/flow monitoring system based on statistical process control. A simulation experiment is executed to evaluate the MILOS hierarchical system against "no control", ADOT's current ramp metering policy, and an area-wide LP optimization problem resolved in 5-minute intervals on a small freeway network in the metropolitan Phoenix, AZ area. Three test cases are presented for a short "burst" of heavy-volume flows to all ramps, a 3-hour commuting peak, and a 3-hour commuting peak with a 30-minute incident occurring in the middle of the network. The performance results indicate that MILOS is able to reduce freeway travel time, increase freeway average speed, and improve recovery performance of the system when flow conditions become congested.

A modern city generates a large volume of digital information, especially in the form of unstructured image and video data. Recent advancements in deep learning techniques have enabled effective learning and estimation of high-level attributes and meaningful features from large digital datasets of images and videos. In my thesis, I explore the potential of applying deep learning to image and video data to quantify urban tree cover and street parking utilization. Large-scale and accurate quantification of urban tree cover is important towards informing government agencies in their public greenery efforts, and useful for modelling and analyzing city ecology and urban heat island effects. We apply state-of-the-art deep learning models, and compare their performance to a previously established benchmark of an unsupervised method.
Our training procedure for deep learning models is novel; we utilize the abundance of openly available and similarly labelled street-level image datasets to pre-train our model. We then perform additional training on a small training dataset consisting of GSV images. We also employ a recently developed method called gradient-weighted class activation map (Grad-CAM) to interpret the features learned by the end-to-end model. The results demonstrate that deep learning models are highly accurate, can be interpretable, and can also be efficient in terms of data-labelling effort and computational resources. Accurate parking quantification would inform developers and municipalities in space allocation and design, while real-time measurements would provide drivers and parking enforcement with information that saves time and resources. We propose an accurate and real-time video system for future Internet of Things (IoT) and smart cities applications.
Using recent developments in deep convolutional neural networks (DCNNs) and a novel intelligent vehicle tracking filter, the proposed system combines information across multiple image frames in a video sequence to remove noise introduced by occlusions and detection failures. We demonstrate that the proposed system achieves higher accuracy than pure image-based instance segmentation, and is comparable in performance to industry benchmark systems that utilize more expensive sensors such as radar. Furthermore, the proposed system can be easily configured for deployment in different parking scenarios, and can provide spatial information beyond traditional binary occupancy statistics.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the urban morphology of fifty cities using spatial syntax analysis. The analysis compares the urban street networks of European, USA, Islamic and East Asian cities. Street connectivity was the main metric and natural roads were the basis for the analysis. The aim of the study was to analyze determine how sensitive space syntax methods are for uncovering the hierarchical patterns of urban street networks and examining their scale-free and small-world properties. Street data was collected from OpenStreetMap. ArcGIS 10 with the Axwoman extension was used to study the hierarchical levels of street networks. Matlab provided the platform to examine the scale-free property of street data. Pajek software was used to measure the small-world behavior. Based on the hierarchical representation, the fifty sample cities were classified into different groups and their scale-free and small-world properties were studied. From a traditionally morphological perspective, it was found that some cities in Europe have a close-knit cellular and organic urban morphology. Cities in the USA exhibit gridiron patterns on the whole. Some Islamic cities have special urban structure with houses grouped around the cul-de-sac lanes. Several of the East Asian cities studied also have grid forms. According to the space syntax analysis, urban street networks that have a connectivity value greater than the average value were less than 40%. The results showed that for most cities, the street connectivity distribution follows a power-law distribution and exhibits scale-free properties. Urban street networks of all sample cities were found to have a small-world property. Space syntax cannot detect all of the morphological patterns recognized in traditional morphological studies. The method can, however, efficiently quantify the spatial configuration of a large sample. Space syntax’s topological and scaling metrics thus provide a way to compare urban street networks. These metrics can thus help classify cities according to their street patterns but also contribute to an understanding of human behavior within and thus the design of urban spaces. For example, an urban street network with a small-world property could have high efficiency for traffic flows at local and global levels and should be considered in further study.

Abstract:
The project focuses on the design of a sustainable urban structure in the southeastern part of an area called Červený kopec, in the land of former brick factory. This urban-planning study endeavors to create a suitable structure for the brick factory brownfield. There are relevant factors which influence the proposal, such as complicated terrain due to the mining history, inconsistency of the surrounding urban structure, improper traffic accessibility, and orientation towards the city centre. The concept is based on the legacy of the area. It builds on the slopes and steep hills and preserves two building of the old factory, which aims to become the centre of the whole area. It is also important to mention the nearby National Landscape Heritage Červený Kopec, which would be connected via a forest-park to the recreational area of Mahenova stráň. The outline of this park creates a soft partition between the city and the park. The whole area is accessible by traffic from three access points, one of which is a newly constructed crossroad with traffic lights connected to the street Jihlavská. This proposal emphasizes the effectivity of the land use, traffic hierarchy, human scale, and the importance of pedestrian movement. The area is characterized by central design, with the ethos of the brick factory. It creates a cultural centre for the whole district and sets the way for new development or restructuralization towards a sustainable future for the city of Brno.

Abstract:
L'interaction des phénomènes de transfert de chaleur et de masse dans un tissu urbain avec les apports anthropiques participent à l'îlot de chaleur urbain et à la dégradation de la performance énergétique des bâtiments. L'objectif de cette étude est de définir l'impact de la modification des propriétés radiatives aux façades des bâtiments qui peut être réalisée par l'utilisation de revêtements sélectifs colorés récemment développés pour les toitures. Les flux sensibles et l'impact sur les bâtiments sont étudiés pour une morphologie caractéristique des milieux urbains denses, la rue canyon. Un suivi expérimental mené sur des surfaces élémentaires de propriétés radiatives différentes nous a permis de développer par une méthode d'optimisation un procédé de détermination simultané du coefficient de convection et des absorptivités solaires effectives sur la période de mesure. L'utilisation de peintures sélectives dans la configuration canyon retenue est ensuite analysée expérimentalement. Pour cela une maquette (1/10ème) de scène urbaine a été conçue sur la base de 5 rangées de cuves de béton creux qui ont fait l'objet de mesures de températures et de flux radiatifs. Dans un premier temps, le traitement de deux mois de mesures a permis de caractériser les évolutions de champs de températures liés à cette forme urbaine. Par la suite, trois configurations de propriétés radiatives aux façades ont été étudiées simultanément et ont permis d'analyser les modifications spécifiques sur les champs de température, de sur-faces et d'air. Afin d'estimer les économies d'énergie réalisables sur un bâtiment réel ainsi que l'impact sur son environnement proche, une étude paramétrique des revêtements de façade et de la chaussée a été effectuée par des simulations de l'interaction du bâti et du micro-climat. Les méthodes et expériences établies dans cette étude nous permettent d'envisager le développement du traitement des façades et de la caractérisation de leurs performances globales.

Abstract:
The main subject of the thesis is a revision of current area framing northwest part of Žerotín Square, that nowadays consists of so called White house (center for children health care and a seat of a medical school). The design is based on theoretical situation concerning the removal of White house and therefore it uses the newly existing place as a subject for new architectural solution. The solution emphasizes the completion of current block of buildings with large courtyard and corner between Žerotín Square and Veveří street, which is very important for traffic. The thesis is focusing on finding the right form, scale and functional content which would reflect the importance of the location, especially focusing on the Brno’s ring road that goes directly to Denisovy sady and accessibility of this city’s part. It also respects the design of the back side of the Red Church. The design uses the newly existing place as a location for new apartment building that reflects the scale of similar buildings in Marešov and other nearby streets and it also proposes administration building as an architectural solution for this location, which would be used as a seat for both municipal and national institutions.

Identity is a spatial characteristic that allows residents and users of the space to generate a sense of identification and belonging. However, environmental characteristics, local context, and cultural features not only retain and carry the memories and emotions of residents, but also affect the construction of spatial identity. This issue has received significant attention in the fields of urban-rural planning and landscape design. In recent years, with the rapid development of urbanization, many street spaces in Taiwan are experiencing problems of deteriorating environment quality and loss of identity. Therefore, identifying the environmental attributes and spatial elements that affect identity and locality, and constructing characteristics with local identity through planning and design have become important research issues. Taipei County has now been upgraded to New Taipei City. Temple Street in XinZhuang differs from other historical streets which are over commercialized and tourism development; it has high cultural and historical value and still features fairly complete local industries; its spatial preservation and planning possess indicative and representative significance. Because the public sector has actively promoted the preservation of similar important historical street districts in recent years, relevant environmental characteristics, spatial elements, and local identity must be examined thoroughly to serve as a reference and basis for subsequently enhancing local identity. Through a literature review, overlay analysis, and interviews, we examined the change process of Temple Street in XinZhuang. We analyzed maps from various periods to understand the landscape changes of the macro environment where Temple Street is located. By examining and investigating the various eras, changes in lifestyle landscapes as represented in the street space and activities of Temple Street are understood. Furthermore, by analyzing the current street physical environment and activities, and through depth interviews, we found that the 13 temples of varying scale built throughout history on Temple Street have become part of the religious beliefs rooted in the lives of the local people. The temple plazas also became significant social and leisure places for residents. This both formed the identity of Temple Street and the cognition of residents. In response to tourism development, the public sector has dominated and led numerous landscape constructions. Regarding historical streets, however, the meaning of local life contained in the original spatial fields is far more significant than the historical representation methods arranged in the space by planning and design. The development of Temple Street in XinZhuang should more actively target and explore the consensus on local identity for residents as well as retaining the original atmosphere, and local residents concerned about Temple Street in XinZhuang should be guided toward public participation. The spatial scale of Temple Street and the surrounding alleys, shops with local representative features, and temple plaza activities are all symbols of the local spirit. The participation of people can protect historical street districts and sectors from the continuous influence of urban renewal, and retain an important street to enable the local community to trace its roots.

Along by the bank of the Ta-Han River, is Sin-Jhuang temple street, which is the birthplace of the Sin-Jhuang history. Before the large-scale migration of the Hans , the earliest inhabitants-the Wolauwan plains aborigines had lived in Sin-Jhuang with self-sufficient life by hunting and fishing. During the Kangxi Era in Qing Dynasty, the Hans came to here and cultivated the new land in succession. However, in Kangxi 30 years (1694), the earthquake caused the Taipei basin to become to be the Kangxi Taipei lake. Due to the changes in the geographic location, Sin-Jhuang became a new river port.Because of the geographic proximity and traffic development, Sin-Jhuang sprang up quickly, and became to be the most prosperous city in northern Taiwan, also the reclamation key locations of immigration and merchants trade. During the Kangxi Era in Qing Dynasty, the Hans immigrants from every states came for reclamation with strong demand for the religion faith, therefore, built their own temples. However, by the growing populations, the self-awareness of different native ethnic groups gradually rised. The conflict of interest between every groups, and for snatching sites and resources, have led to many fierce fights. After that, with the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, the reign of Japan diverted the railway bridge via Banqiao from Sin-Jhuang, thus, Sin-Jhuang had declined. Sin-Jhuang Temple street still hold plenty of ancient temple architectures, local traditions and humanistic properties. The purpose of this study is to explore the land reclamation period to date, changes and developments of the old streets and different ethnic groups movement, and the religion faith in the meaning and functioning, as well as the features of Sin-Jhuang Temple street and the necessity of cultural heritage preservation.

This study is based on the Xin Zhuang Temple Street, the banding river villages seated between Jingde Rd. and Dahan River, Xin Zhuang Dis., New Taipei City. The old street grew with harbors, once belonging to part of the old business market streets of market system in the early stage, and was the developing center of the northern area back then. It shows the local comprehensive facets combining with agriculture and business after having been through the settlement, trade, and immigration of the Hans. The Temple Street has declined in the later stage since the Xin Zhuang Harbor lost its superiority in navigation due to the stocking silt. It was also influenced by the extended modernizing development of the city, making the history veins of this region vanish. Local crisis is often the best start to gather local ideology. Tracing back the losing endemic sense is to keep the life experiences and local orientation and culture of the residents, including knowing the streets, plazas, temples, etc. life fields from history, with the religious rituals, ceremonies, pilgrimage, etc. as well, integrating the local space characteristics covered by the precious tangible and invisible cultural assets of this district. With the understanding of our own culture can we elaborate the special and charming cultural spots. Building up the localism and local value is the main subject of reserving and activating this region in the future. The world is regarded as the combination of man and the environment, that is, the whole structure of space. This study discussed the space characteristics from three facets: temporal component, the big scale in space; the construction of places, the medium scale; the formation of localism, the small scale. Generalizing and analyzing the up and down changes through time from these aspects, we hope to construct a whole local space characteristic to enrich the meaning of culture.

The cultural impact of globalization has caused weakening of many local cultures. Promotion of cultural products can connect cultural individuality and resources and help preserve local cultural features and memories. This study used Sinjhuang Temple Street as an example. By viewing cultural features of this temple street as a basis for developing quality cultural products, this study attempted to clarify the attractive attributes of this temple street to consumers and help create a cultural identity of this street. The research methodology involved participant observation and semi-structured interview. Participant observation was used to understand ceremonial activities in this temple street. Semi-structured interviews with local cultural and historical workers, staff of art and cultural centers, masters of traditional skills, and managers of traditional and cultural industries were conducted to extract cultural resources and features of Sinjhuang Temple Street. Finally, based on the concept of Kano model, this study administered a survey to consumers in this street to find the quality attributes of this local culture. Results showed cultural resources and features of this temple street stem from five main areas, including religious temples, traditional activities, traditional industries, traditional skills, and local stories. The night patrol of Lord of the Hordes (Dazhong ye) of Dizang Abbey is an attractive feature of this temple street. For visitors to this street, traditional cuisine “steamed taro cake” is an attractive attribute; ten cultural images including Ciyou Temple (Matzu Temple) and Dizang Abbey are attributes of one-dimensional quality; Wusan Temple and Wenchang Temple are attributes of must-be quality; 19 cultural images including Kuangfu Temple (Hakka Temple) and Baoyuan Temple (Wangye Temple) fall into the dimension of indifference quality. This study applied Kano model to analyze the attractive attributes of a temple street culture and the rise and waning of a local culture. The results of this study could be a reference for designers of cultural products and the government in promotion of local cultures.

A computational fluid dynamic (CFD) package was employed to investigate the influences of planting height in a residential area on the local distribution of suspended particles, and the major influence factor which can improve the air pollution concentration were identified. In this study, the field surveys and evaluations about the microclimate on different residential district was firstly proceeded, the suitable parameter setting to simulate the residential district wind field was calibrated, and then the simulations on different planting heights and layouts were proceeded, the distributions of air pollutant were evaluated. The results show that, the layout and the height of the buildings of residential district can affect the wind field and cause the difference of wind speed between high altitude and pedestrian area, and also affect the settlement of suspended particle in pedestrian wind field. With the simulation on the street canyon with building height/street width = 0.5 contains various planting height, the variations of pedestrian wind fields were investigated. For the wind field distribution, a tree crown with 2 m above the ground can cause the vortex of wind flow, the down-wind speed is smaller than that in the case of floor plant with uniform width, and the concentration of pollutants near the crown is higher that the adjacent area. From the distributions of pollutants, the concentration of pollutants is proportional to the wind speed distribution, high discharges occurs at high wind zone, and high concentration occurs at low wind zone or high friction coefficient surface, such tree crown or wall. The floor planting of 1 m ~ 3 m height with uniform size can descend the wind speed within 50 m behind the tree, after then the wind speed arose. Within the floor plant with 0 m ~ 3 m high, the optimal weaken wind effect occurs within 10 m behind the tree with 1.5 m height. Due the rapid development of city, improper construction layout, including the improper site allocation and scale, and landscape design, can decrease the quality of local environments, including wind field, temperature, and moisture, etc., and ascend the concentrations of air pollutants. A suitable modeling and simulation of CFD becomes a powerful tool in planning and design stage.

Panoramic images are very important way to record and watch scene views. It not only record rich spatial information, but also have many advantage through many applications now day. For example, Google street view, many and many hand hold video cameras contain panoramic images service which use picture stitch method to create panoramic images, 3D structure of building inside view on estate website, museum tour service, etc. Since google released Google Street View services, user can see any street view who want by just sits in front of computer and clicks mouse, and due to this, this service is admired and popular by users. Street view shot are very valuable, street view can let people see history of city and scene change. It also a good reference for historical sites recovery, city planning, etc. In this thesis, we capture temporal street view using ladybug 3 camera mounted on a car. Build four-dimesional image database by adding time dimension, store panoramic image into front-end NAS server, and offer user upload images to find its location, or see history data image by GPS coordinate. Also, we use Bundler to build 3D city reconstruction, store point cloud from those images, for future research and application.

Xinzhuang is one of the earliest developed places in northern part of Taiwan. With the convenience in river transportation, immigrants flocked in to explore the land to farm. Xinzhuang Temple Street (Miao Street) is a street along the river. In mid- term of Ching Dynasty, the agriculture and commerce are very prosperous. With people migrating in, religious belief came along. People and temples settled down. Among them, there are 3 major temples, namely, Tse Yo Temple, Wusheng Temple and Guangfu Temple were built in Yunzheng and Chienglong Administrations of Ching Dynasty. But after the Chienlong and Jiaching Administrations, with the deposit of silt, the channel was gradually blocked and the business center moved downward to Manga and Dadaocheng, and Temple Street of Xinzhuang demised simultaneously.This paper focused on the 3 major temples of Temple Street of Xinzhuang to study. In literature research method, the history of development of Temple Street of Xinzhuang, the differences of beliefs of the temples and related data are sorted out. Then field survey was adopted to visit the 3 major temples, in written and photograph records, the current conditions of inscribed couplets were inspected and they were indexed along with the history, in the hope of establishing the relationship between the inscribed couplets of temples and the development of Xinzhuang Area and the exploration of Chinese Immigrants. It was followed with study of the structures and layouts of the 3 temples to find their implications. They were also studied to find the influence of political forces and local celebrities. The literate importance of the inscribed couplets was study to find the literate background of the inscribed words and the context. Finally, comparison of the inscribed couplets was made to find out the unique features of the couplets of the 3 temples to spell out the characteristics of the couplets of the temples in literature, local culture and history interpretation.

Due to the rapid development in recent years, surface runoff has considerably increased and accompanied with a higher flood risk since infiltration has been blocked by more and more impervious municipal area in Taiwan. Flood forecast and simulation has been improved with the advances of flood models, remote sensing technologies, and the application of multi-scale grid for reducing the number of computational grids and computer time. However, multi-scale grid makes procedural error that influences the accuracy of down-scale inundation simulation. To achieve the optimal multi-scale grid configuration for pursuing higher efficiency and accuracy, this study is to investigate the simulation of the street flooding in high resolution which combines different scales of coarse grids and fine grids in SOBEK model with the building effect applied to the fine grids. A test case was used to assess the feasibility of SOBEK model using three multi-scale grid combinations, including three kinds of coarse grids (20m×20m, 40m×40m and 100m×100m) with a fine grid (10m×10m). The simulation results in applying each kind of multi-scale grid combinations were compared with the result by using full fine grid. SOBEK model was applied with sewer and building effects to simulate the flood in the Ziguan District in Dianbao River watershed during Typhoon Fanapi (2010). The results of two configurations using multi-scale grid combinations (5m×5m with 10m×10m、5m×5m with 20m×20m) were compared with the result with only fine grid (5m×5m) and showed that the optimal configuration is 5m×5m with 10m×10m. It can be concluded the simulation of the street flood which combines the multi-scale grid configuration and building effect in SOBEK model are more efficient and accurate.

Due to the various particular geographical conditions of Taiwan, river front is normally the region of growth and development of numerous emerging metropolitan areas, since it was an important place for people to gather around. Nevertheless, during the process of gradual urbanization of city, the flood prevention and watercourses regulations are always the top issues focused, in addition to the towering embankment built between bank and city, the high speed of vehicles running on the riverside drive impede the pedestrian to pass through, resulting different problems such as marginalization of urban communities alongside the embankment and disconnection or of urban image. As the transition of city occurred in the recent years, residents attach more importance on the living space and recreation location, the riverside park developed into central place of urban blue and green belt; however, inside of the embankment near the urban space is still the place almost impossible to be exploited or accessed by residents, the inhabitants therefore are not allowed to profit from the opportunity of appreciating natural scenery and taking leisure activities. This study is directed at the midstream and downstream of Keelung River, which is classified as riverside drive inside urban riverbank, some sections with potential possibilities could be determined through onsite investigation, in order to design for actual transformation. As to the studies conducted by previous researchers, the current situation, type, activities, and planning of urban waterfront space are emphasized for establishing the development model appropriate for the structure of this study; regarding the issue of case analysis, the present outstanding waterfront space in the city and cross-embankment method suitable for the structure of this study are main approaches, by employing the detailed structure planning design, to conclude the aforesaid strategies for increasing water-accessible of the urban riverfront space, in order to perform design positivism as the final stage. The result of research were applied to the design of Songhe street of section from Tsuyou Temple to Shuifu Temple, concerning commercial potential, strategy for improving water-accessible, and street quality improvement, five policies are presented as following : 1. the roads inside embankment functions as intermediary of city and river is the essential place for activate river prospect, 2. modify the type of waterfront space in accordance with requirements of region, 3. introduce commercial activities at road inside embankment for meeting the users’ demand as well as attract more visitors to participate, for completing riverside activities. 4.increase multi-opportunities of cross-embankment so as to develop the water-accessible from city to river, 5.improve the street inside embankment to form people-friendly space. The design achievements include the progress of street elevation, air-bridge of cross-embankment, air platform, walking path, and organization of water-accessible space, the aim of integrating riverside drive and water-accessible space would be finally achieved, and local lucrative development could be stimulated as well.

Post-disaster recovery must quickly restore water, electricity, energy, communications and other infrastructure in the first place. It must also enable the victims to return to normal life quickly, and the reconstruction process will also encounter long-term work, including economic revitalization. The establishment of permanent living space, re-planning of land use, etc. From the national plans for reconstruction projects, it can be found that the current rehabilitation and reconstruction projects are mostly formulated and discussed after the disaster, but the disaster losses caused by the scale of the disaster and the projects that need to be restored and reconstructed are also different. As a result, it may be impossible to discuss comprehensive issues when developing a reconstruction plan after a disaster. If a process and structure for pre-disaster reconstruction planning can be developed before a disaster occurs, the recovery and reconstruction plan can be started at the same time when a disaster occurs, which not only quickly recovers but also minimizes the time required for recovery. To enable the victims to recover their lives before the disaster more quickly. This study conducted research through literature exploration and in-depth interviews. The literature discussion mainly discusses the importance of disaster risk management for the old neighborhoods, the pre-disaster reconstruction plan and the case analysis, and promotes the pre-disaster reconstruction workshop as the improvement of the current disaster prevention community, in addition to the current disaster prevention community. In addition to the preparation and response, the concept of disaster reduction and rehabilitation has been added to enable the public to teach the people a more complete and correct concept of disaster prevention in the future. Using the risk analysis, prevention and disaster relief issues, pre-disaster reconstruction strategy research, rehabilitation and reconstruction plan discussion, and personnel training, etc., the model and activities of the pre-disaster reconstruction workshop were designed. The construction of the pre-disaster reconstruction vision is divided into three aspects: spatial planning, development model, organizational interaction and management operation. The vision of pre-disaster reconstruction is defined so that the community can have clear directions and objectives in the subsequent development of the pre-disaster reconstruction plan. And develop a pre-disaster reconstruction plan that is closer to the residents' ideas and needs. Finally, with reference to the pre-disaster reconstruction workshop and vision, we will make adjustments to the characteristics and needs of Xin Zhuang Temple Street, and propose a pre-disaster reconstruction plan with Xin Zhuang Temple Street as the main body, with housing, economic industry, infrastructure and Xin Zhuang Temple Street. Four unique cultural assets, such as the main framework for the plan, and the development of the pre-disaster reconstruction plan in line with the development of the post-disaster timeline, so that the community can reach the consensus on recovery and reconstruction in the future after the disaster to shorten the post-disaster recovery and reconstruction. The time required to accelerate the recovery of life and livelihoods before the disaster will reduce the risk of future disasters on Xin Zhuang Temple Street and enhance the community's resilience.

The life style in pass was commensal with woods and employed natural botany. The influence of environment is getting change as the change of life type. After changing to industry period, the environment started having eminent change by industrial pollution. The living assuetude had changed to having moonlighting from standing on natural environment. To face this change and ecocide, illumination design should not still revolve mainly around human but provide a solution to let living environment is commensal with natural environment. Expecting can avoid the problem of light damage getting worse and combined natural botany and human living environment appropriately to connect an eco-network. Based on the limit of the frequent moonlighting of contemporary, providing a low environment damaging illumination (green illumination), this system design will put the most suitable distribution between human and environment. The illumination will be set by this ideal system. The illumination system design should be like the urban plan brining into at the primary stage. In urban illumination design, the first step is to orientate the region, using the structure of urban space and features of community to frame, including technique and historic monuments…etc. Then standing on the space that set in advance to conclude standard, and standing on the design direction of this standard to put the carriageway. the range of pedestrian. park. the joint and image of building to integrate turning into a complete system design. This system design should consider the image of entrance. illumination system and green belt system. After system design, it should depend on the subsidy of public ploy for implementing more favorably and setting the reward system on various levels. About the ground that isn’t allowed to use, to put the system design combining with green belt to make a provisional spread and achieve the illumination design integrating by green illumination and human requirement practically.

Because building reconstruction of city historic central district is in historic environment, first, it faces with this problem -how the reconstruction building integrate into historic environment to response to historic environment characteristics; second, Taiwan cities central districts are often divided as business district, have high -volume use, and have general condition of mixed-use housing complexes, so the building in business district has much resident function use space. Under the circumstances of high volume, the positive law in business district is not easy to guarantee the quality of residential environment of the building used as residence function, and there are often bad residential environment quality conditions. So how to improve the quality of residential environment of reconstruction building of central business district becomes another problem. To improve the quality of residential environment of Tainan City historic central district and make the building response the historic environment characteristics. From the angle of control building measurement, this study advances building quality control way for improving central business district residential environment quality and making reconstruction buildings response to historic environment characteristics, analyzes the effect of control way to building inner space to probe whether the building can improve the quality of residential environment and response historic environment characteristics by adjusting building structure. But only further mastering Tainan city historic central district mass and dweller information, can probe the effects of building structure control for building inner space. This study measures and sorts out all mass dimension of street contour of Yunghua palace, Chi Tzi Li, the Confucius cultural park by contrasting cadaster and navigation contrasting chart; and analyze the information such as dwellers’ family conditions and residential characteristics etc to simulate and probe the effect of different control regulations for building reconstruction by resistant environment questionnaire. The results of the study: 1. Characteristics of plots and residents The most of the plots of historic central district of Tainnan City is with the type that the face width is narrower and the depth is longer, and the base face width mostly is one room but cannot be divided into two rooms. It is possible to rebuild the buildings into flat style only after combining two or more plots, and the residents in this district are willing to continue to live here. When rebuilding the buildings as structure control, must take the original residents’ space needs in consideration, and also take the space needs of the residents that are possibly live here in the future in consideration. In addition, there is a certain rate between residential and operating function in the same building, and this also consists in the block periphery. Residence and commerce are in the same building, which is also the emphasis of the consideration when rebuilding the buildings. 2. The effect of buildings structure control: If the block periphery use “the scale of the backyard depth” to control buildings structure, respectively taking the foundation, the floor of the second floor and that of the third floor as bases, Making structure control, it only need some little adjustment on the design. It slightly affects the buildings’ statutory volume and the inner space, and can improves the quality of air and natural lighting of the rear rooms of the block periphery buildings, making it be similar to the backyard quality of the fifth kind of residential district in Taipei City. The inner of the block, its buildings structure was built with traditional laneways, and the structure will be limited below the third floor, and the backyard will be controlled by “ backyard depth and its depth rate”, which slightly affect the buildings’ statutory volume and the inner space. About 60% of the plots only need some little adjustment, by which can make the control style, and about 20% of the plots, whose statutory volume cannot be sufficiently used up, is also suitable for the common family whose members are parents and a child and the families whose members is less than that of the common family. If the owners of this kind of plots can use control style, although the volume cannot be used up, it can meet the elementary space needs, and can improve the quality of residential environment of the buildings, and can show the characteristics of the traditional laneways.

To formulate the criteria of building structure control is one of the important works of urban conservation in historic central district. Because of the building structure control will influence the use of the inner space of buildings, and the criteria of building structure control might not be executed successfully with just scarce acceptance of the user. So, while formulating the criteria of building structure control of the historic central district, the user’s requirements and the opinions should be found out. That can be conducive for us not only to realize if the standard of the criteria is appropriate, but also to find out the emphases which should be negotiated with the users before the criteria will be executed. So as to the appropriate standard of the criteria and the properly public participation plan can be made, and it can increasing the acceptance of the users gradually; then, enable the criteria to be executed successfully. Therefore, this research presume the scheme of building structure control advocated by “Research for Tainan City Historic Central District Building Reconstruction Structure and Control-Special reference to street contour of Yunghua palace, Chi Tzi Li, the Confucius Temple Historical Area”(Tsai, Yi-hung, 2002)as executory scheme, and aim at to realize the viewpoints of the users in the street contour of Yunghua palace by the survey of questionnaire, in order to prove the propriety of the scheme of building structure control and to question what are the emphases which should be negotiated with the users before the criteria will be executed. Finally, this research can be the reference for formulating the criteria of building structure control and it’s executing plan. The results of this research: 1. The propriety of the scheme of building structure control (1)Compare with the regulations existed, the “ height-control criterion outside the street contour” of the scheme only causes a few effect on the structure, and the “setback-control criterion inside the street contour” not only can conserve the characteristics of the traditional laneways, but also can be accepted by most of the users. So, the two criteria above are both properly and practicable. (2)The standard of the existed backyard setback-control regulations can not guarantee the quality of residential environment in historic central district. As a result, heightening the standard is indeed necessary. But the further research should be done to confirm if the standard of the backyard setback-control criterion of the scheme is properly. (3)Because of the scheme might cause great effect on few lots which are with short depth. It not only might cause some loss of statutory volume and injure the owner’s right, but also might cause that the volume of inner space can not fulfill the users’ requirements, even might cause it can not fulfill the minimum. As a result , the rational standard of building structure control should be suggested for those lots in order to ensure their quality of residential environment.. 2. The emphases which should be negotiated with the users before the criteria will be executed The users have higher acceptance about the “setback-control criterion inside the street contour” of the scheme, but don’t have higher acceptance about the “ height-control criterion inside the street contour” and the strategy that heighten the standard of the existed backyard setback-control regulations to improve the quality of residential environment. Furthermore, the opinion of the users and the consciousness about the quality of residential environment of the inhabitant indicates that before the criteria will be executed, to negotiate with the owners in order to make them accept some loss of statutory volume is necessary and to increase the acceptance about the purpose of heightening the standard of the existed backyard setback-control regulations of the users through medium, negotiation, education, or experiencing is also necessary, too.

Throughout the world, small-scale food vending forms an integral part of society, serving as a poverty buffer and a local based economy generation strategy to optimize livelihoods. However, untrustworthiness and safety concerns have been raised regarding the food handling practices and hygiene that tend to compromise the quality of the food sold in this sector. Thus, this study was conducted in order to propose the pillars of a safety management system for small-scale vended foods in Thulamela Municipality in South Africa. The pillars were proposed after assessing the level of small-scale food vendors’ knowledge, attitude and handling practices. Complementary, the microbiological quality of the commonly consumed small-scale vended foods was determined. A survey-underpinned exploratory sequentially integrated mixed methods research design was adopted. Fifty-four respondents participated in a qualitative study via administering a semistructured interview guide to key informants and focus groups. Correspondingly, quantitative data were collected through a 5-point Likert questionnaire, administered to 136 small-scale food vendors and 272 customers. An observation checklist was used to collect data on 124 food stalls focusing on food handling practices. Microbial loads were determined through analysing 28 food samples collected from seven informal food markets. Qualitative data were analysed using ATLAS. ti version 8.0. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 25.0 was used to analyse quantitative data. Descriptive statistics were used to calculate frequencies and mean scores. The Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (r) was used to determine the degree of correlation among variables. Principal Component Analysis was used to isolate and deepen understanding of the main factors determining the knowledge and attitude towards food safety. Hierarchical Cluster Analysis was used to identify two cluster solutions for food handling practices. Mann-Whitney U tests were conducted to determine the relative stability of the generated two cluster solutions. Ordinal Least Square regression analysis was conducted to identify the variables which were critical in defining the state of food handling practices dynamics in the study area and their relationship with other variables. Data on the microbial counts were subjected to the Analysis of Variance. Duncan’s multiple range test was used to separate means while T-test was conducted to establish if there was any difference between organisms isolated for each food type from Thohoyandou and Sibasa markets. In general, food vendors were knowledgeable about personal (x̄ = 1.77) and food (x̄ = 1.75) hygiene respectively. However, they rarely considered knowledge of foodborne diseases and rules and regulations as crucial in defining the quality and safety of small-scale vended foods. Respondents reflected positive attitude towards personal hygiene (x̄ = 3.21), food hygiene (x̄ = 3.55) and utensils management (x̄ = 3.43). The highest correlation relations between variables of roadside vendors’ knowledge of food safety were observed to be between “Staphylococcus as a germ that causes foodborne diseases” and “Hepatitis A virus that can cause foodborne disease” (P < 0.01). From thirty-six factors that determined the knowledge and attitude towards food safety, the Principal Component Analysis isolated eight components that accounted for 50 % of the variability. Similarly, customers were knowledgeable about food hygiene (x̄ = 1.88) personal hygiene (x̄ = 1.86). They also showed positive attitude towards personal (x̄ = 3.66) hygiene, food (x̄ = 3.72) hygiene and utensils management (x̄ = 3.56). From thirty-six factors that determined the knowledge and attitude towards food safety, the Principal Component Analysis isolated ten components that accounted for 60. % of the variability. The results revealed the six major determinants of the state of handling practices in Thulamela Municipality. These were stalls conditions, personal hygiene, environmental and waste management, hygiene-related behaviour, food storage and utensils management. The most significant variables defining the state of food handling practices were protective clothing (P < 0.05) and stalls conditions (P < 0.05). The microbial counts (log10 cfu/g) of food samples ranged from 2.0 ± 2.08 to numerous to count for total plate count, 2.0 ± 1.00 to 6.6 ± 7.57 for Salmonella spp, 2.0 ± 2.64 to 3.9 ± 6.03 for S. aureus, 2.1 ± 1.73 to numerous to count for yeast, 2.0 ± 0.00 to 3.8 ± 10.00 for coliform bacteria and 2.0 ± 1.15 to 4.9 ± 21.66 for B. aureus. Coliform bacteria and B. cereus were not found in foods sold at Thohoyandou markets while mould was not detected in foods collected at both locations. Total plate count differed significantly (P < 0.05) between salads and chicken stews. Salmonella spp, significantly differed (P < 0.05) between salads and beef stews. For S. aureus, a significant difference was found in salads (P < 0.05). For yeast, significant differences (P < 0.05) were observed between salads and beef stews. The main objective of this study was to propose the pillars of a safety management for small-scale vended foods. Thus, the major components of pillars proposed were encored on hygiene (personal, food and handling practices), training programme, environmental management, infrastructure development and law enforcement. The training programme was scored as number one by the majority of food vendors (x̄ = 4.7) whilst personal hygiene was ranked first by the customers (x̄ = 4.8). The results of the study revealed the urgent need for basic training in food and personal hygiene throughout the value chain. Infrastructure development such as a decent food stalls with adequate working space, proper washing and storage facilities to improve food safety and hygienic practices was highlighted. Adequate access to waste-water and food disposal facilities aligned to vending spaces was also considered crucial. Thus, it is recommended that Thulamela Municipality should provide extensive training programme to ensure that proper hygiene practices are in place. Suitable regulations must be crafted to ensure that safe and secure foods are sold. Lastly, Thulamela Municipality should consider providing all vending stalls with basic infrastructure to close the gap between knowledge and practices of safe small-scale food vending.

Abstract:
This thesis aims to contribute to the current academic debate on contemporary polarization in the U.S. Congress. The paper provides a brief overview of the relevenat existing literature and schools of thought on the issue. As part of the thought direction which steers away from definining roots and causes of polarization among the general public but rather sees them as issues of the political elite, this thesis highlights the need to focus on individual Congressional Member Organizations (CMOs) in the House of Representatives and their connection to polarization. By applying an existing dataset accepted among political science scholars as the key tool for measuring polarization, the thesis seeks to affirm the presumed ideological differences among the individual CMOs (or caucuses). The main part of this thesis which adds value to further discussion is the case study of all roll call votes of the 114th House of Representatives examining voting cohesion of the studied caucuses. The aim of this study is to show to what extent the CMOs are in fact consistent voting blocs and how influential they can potentially be within the political elites in the House of Representatives and to what level they may be contributing to the contemporary polarization.
