IEA EBC Annex83 Positive Energy Districts
2021
At a global level, the need for energy efficiency and an increased share of renewable energy sources is evident, as is the crucial role of cities due to the rapid urbanization rate. As a consequence of this, the research work related to Positive Energy Districts (PED) has accelerated in recent years. A common shared definition, as well as technological approaches or methodological issues related to PEDs are still unclear in this development and a global scientific discussion is needed. The International Energy Agency’s Energy in Buildings and Communities Programme (IEA EBC) Annex 83 is the main platform for this international scientific debate and research. This paper describes the challeng…
Wybrane przykłady realizacji koncepcji miasta-ogrodu oraz możliwości implementacji ich elementów we współczesnej tkance miejskiej
2020
Praca stanowi przekrój myśli urbanistycznej, jaką jest koncepcja miasta- ogrodu. Celem pracy jest przedstawienie sposobu kształtowania współczesnej tkanki miejskiej w odniesieniu do założeń garden city na przykładzie miasta Opole. Obecne tendencje w planowaniu przestrzennym miast zdają się nie uwzględniać szeroko rozumianego krajobrazu jako waloru. Niniejsza praca powstała z myślą o przybliżeniu założeń opartych na zasadzie połączenia środowiska zbudowanego z naturalnym, pokazując, że mogą być one funkcjonalnymi i kompletnymi tkankami miejskimi
Miasto jako niekończące się wyzwanie
2020
W artykule zwrócona jest uwaga na zagadnienia, które wiążą się z retorycznym pytaniem, jak trudno zbudować miasto? Każde miasto miało/ma swój początek i pewną logikę rozwoju, która niekoniecznie jest odzwierciedleniem zamierzeń jego kreatorów. Miasto jest wypadkową marzeń i możliwości mieszkańców je tworzących. Ludzie chcą przebywać, egzystować w sytuacjach zakończonych, których z perspektywy dynamiki funkcjonowania miasta nie można zapewnić. Refleksja dotyka idei oraz realnego tworu miejskiego, kształtującego się w perspektywie długiego i krótkiego trwania
Pathways for the amplification of agroecology in African sustainable urban agriculture
2020
A growing awareness that highly intensified agricultural systems have made a substantial worldwide contribution to the worsening of the resilience capacity of natural ecosystems has, over the last twenty years, brought general attention to agroecological management models. This aspect is even more evident in industrial agriculture, which is based on the use of multiple chemical products derived from non-natural synthesis. In more developed countries, a new idea of ecology linked to agricultural production has been increasingly developed and, for this reason, there has been a greater diffusion of differentiated agricultural models taking into consideration the environmental impact of product…
Les villes sahariennes algériennes et le développement urbain durable, ville réelle et ville normative
2005
The Algerian Sahara’s urbanization constitutes today an essential data to apprehend the complex spatial dynamics which animate it. In less than fifty years, the Sahara has massively urbanize, upsetting urban morphologies as well as the practices and socio-space relations of the city’s populations. This exceptional population’s increase had for corollary the appearance of multiform tensions on urban spaces. The central question of the evolutions of these urban entities, located in fragile and constraining spaces, arises today with force. The principles of the policies of regional planning, based on the concept of sustainability, bring certain brief replies for the future of these Saharan cit…
Inhibitors, enablers and social side winds Explaining the use of exercise tracking systems
2014
There has been a vast research interest in exercise tracking systems as they are hoped to boost motivation for exercise and thus improve users’ health. However, research activity on actual use and experiences on using such systems has been mild: one has been more interested in the consequences of use than the use itself. To address this gap, we report a study, in which we examined the use of exercise tracking systems (i.e. physical devices with connected services and information systems) in their contexts of use. The study was based on diary data collected in Finland. Analysis of the data was based on a framework describing various techno-determinant inhibitors and enablers of technology us…
Psychological processes of ACL-patients' post-surgery rehabilitation : A prospective test of an integrated theoretical model
2020
Objectives: The aim of this prospective study was to examine the utility of an integrated model comprising constructs from self-determination theory (SDT) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) in predicting adherence to a post-surgery rehabilitation program in patients receiving anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Constructs of the integrated model measured at baseline were expected to predict patients' rehabilitation adherence two months later. Method: Patients (N = 121, M age = 27.62, range = 18–53; 36.66% female) scheduled to have ACL reconstruction surgery within two months were recruited from a Hong Kong public hospital. At baseline and two-month follow-up, patients com…
L’habitat durable sans l’habiter ? Fabrique de la densité en Bourgogne
2017
In 2009 and 2010, in order to combat the urban sprawl, the Grenelle Environment sets out urban density as a public policy issue. This notion builds on a modus operandi of an urbanization regime that includes both the environmental and the participatory dimensions in its approach. This injunction of sustainability is there implemented through a range of standards, rules and procedures, while the stakeholders in urbanism strive to arrange the experience of inhabiting. But how does this apparatus take the test of reality into account? Based on a qualitative research carried out from 2012 to 2015 on urban planning projects intended to increase density in urban and suburban areas in Burgundy, th…

An Economic Assessment of Micro-Scale Use of Renewable Energy Sources: Two Case Studies
2015
During recent times, renewable energy technologies have shown a relative fast growth in the global energy investment, global energy capacity and their integration within multiple sectors, particularly in the electricity sector. Renewable energy technologies have also experienced notorious declining costs on their manufacturing production. Nevertheless, while this growth is widely acknowledged, the share of renewables with respect total energy production has been moderate. Technological advancements in renewable energy have demonstrated the potential of renewables in energy generation and also that renewables can provide direct and indirect advantages over their counterparts. This thesis inv…
