A key determinant is how the presence of other people occurs. We will consider this aspect can be mitigated by some design measures, in particular: a. lines of sight; b. prospects; and c. their permeability.

She has gradually developed insights into probability and conditionalities in subjective preferences, with philosophical approaches to decision-making in human affairs when it is strongly vulnerable to and at the same time boosted by uncertainties. Between 2017 and 2018, she published three online sociological works with Aracne Editrice in Rome, "Curbanismo," "Modeling e decision-making," and "L'evoluzione dell'urbanesimo nelle Emergenze". Her latest online book is "Schengen and the cross-border operations in Europe. Security systems and the EU borders," published in December 2019.

From the 2000s she has researched on the effects of totalitarianism in the post-war period. Since years she is interested in environmental and urban issues with a systemic perspective stemming mainly from the numerous works of Niklas Luhmann, both in German and in English. In 2017 and 2018, she has published three sociological works with Aracne Editrice in Rome, "Curbanismo," "Modeling e decision-making," and "L’evoluzione dell’urbanesimo nelle Emergenze". Recently (December 2019), she has researched on migration's issues in Europe, and analyzed different security fields in the world, especially with regard to the new arrivals, with the aim at explaining the general fears our community as a whole is experiencing because of the global economic crisis. "Schengen and the cross-border operations in Europe. Security systems and the borders," is her latest book published by Aracne Editrice in Rome.

Lo spazio Schengen, attivo dagli anni 1990, viene analizzato con lo scopo di filtrare le prospettive chiave della natura territoriale con cui l’Unione si confronta spesso in questi ultimi anni, non solo per gli aspetti critici che caratterizzano la sua complessità transfrontaliera, ma anche e soprattutto per i meccanismi decisionali che interagiscono con i cittadini. Una crescente frammentazione sembra scaturire da fenomeni come l’intolleranza nei confronti delle diversità, tanto da rendere necessario evidenziare come il legame tra sicurezza interna ed esterna, attraverso la tutela di diritti individuali che siano civili, politici, economici, sociali, culturali, sia in grado di gestire in modo maturo le sfide della migrazione e le potenziali minacce future alle frontiere europee.

The key perspectives of the territorial nature facing the Union arise from phenomena such as the EU's cross-border complexity, the decision-making mechanisms that interact with citizens, the increasing fragmentation of public institutions and the resulting intolerance towards cohesive communities, in order to make it necessary to highlight the link between internal and external security, through the protection of individual rights which are civil, social, cultural and thus capable of managing the challenges of migration and the future threats at the European borders.

Le livre défend les intérêts de la coopération internationale, en particulier de la Communauté mondiale avec les États membres de l'UE, et parmi les acteurs et parties prenantes de l'Union européenne, afin d'en savoir plus et, dans la mesure du possible, de renforcer les systèmes territoriaux et la sécurité dans l'espace Schengen. Les perspectives clés de la nature territoriale de l'Union découlent de phénomènes tels que la complexité transfrontalière de l'UE, les mécanismes décisionnels qui interagissent avec les citoyens, la fragmentation croissante des institutions publiques et l'intolérance qui en résulte pour des communautés cohésives, afin de rendre mettre en évidence le lien entre sécurité intérieure et extérieure, à travers la protection des droits individuels qui soient civils, sociaux, culturels et, donc, capables de gérer les défis de la migration et les menaces futures aux frontières européennes.

Il loro funzionamento prevede (i) l'organizzazione di parametri problematici, accedendo di solito a database ed estraendo i dati di decisione, (ii) la strutturazione del problema di decisione, accedendo alla base modello, recuperando il modello di decisione appropriato, ed operazionalizzando (unendovi parametri organizzati) il modello di decisione; (iii) la simulazione di politiche ed eventi, utilizzando il modello di decisione operazionalizzato per svolgere le computazioni necessarie per simulare risultati da alternative specifiche-all'utilizzatore e poi identificare l'alternativa (o le alternative) che incontrano meglio il criterio (o i criteri) di decisione tra quelli testati; e (iv) la scoperta della migliore soluzione al problema, accedendo alla base modello, recuperando il metodo di soluzione appropriato, e utilizzando metodo recuperato per determinare sistematicamente l'alternativa (od alternative), tra tutte le alternative possibili, che meglio soddisfano il criterio (o criteri) di decisione.

Sono aumentati i numeri delle lavoratrici femminili, e diminuiti-almeno apparentemente-quelli dei lavori minorili. In mezzo a decenni di volatilità ed instabilità dei mercati, con grandi fluttuazioni di decennio in decennio, si è presa coscienza di come spesso le classi di lavoratori siano inefficienti nel garantirsi entrate sufficienti a garantire il proprio benessere generale. Ineguaglianza e insicurezza possono quindi esacerbare mobilità dei redditi e quantità di lavori mal pagati che impediscono qualunque ascesa socio-economica. L'assicurazione di indennizzo per i lavoratori (Workers Compensation Insurance) è uno dei piani assicurativi necessari per gli imprenditori che devono acquistare per la protezione dei propri dipendenti. Ad es., la maggior parte degli imprenditori edilizi e altre attività di costruzione sono considerate ad alto rischio per le compagnie assicurative. Le imprese con dipendenti a rischio quali «riparatori di tetti, car-pentieri e operatori di attrezzature e non soltanto» sono vulnerabili in quanto le lesioni subite in tali ambienti di lavoro sono generalmente più gravi e potenzialmente catastrofiche per i dipendenti (NIOSH, 2002).

Nel caso di Levittown preso in considerazione dall'Autore in The Levittowners (1967), egli scoprì che quando sorgevano e si risolvevano conflitti, i residenti iniziavano a stabilire le linee-guida di una comunità. Gans suggerì quindi di esaminare i "conflitti" piuttosto che gli "elementi comuni" dei proprietari per osservare questo processo in azione: Il processo attraverso cui questo risultato comunitario viene acquisito è guidato dal conflitto. Una comunità moderna non è come una cultura popolare, in cui congruenza tra la comunità e la sua popolazione viene ottenuta tramite un consenso diffuso riguardo comportamento e valori. A Levittown la congruenza è molto meno perfetta, ed è prodotta dagli sforzi di potere che sono costantemente risolti tramite compromessi in modo che istituzioni ed organizzazioni pos-sano funzionare in maniera ordinata.

Sulla base del riscontro di un evento, siamo propensi a credere che quell'evento (od uno simile) avrà una maggiore probabilità di evenienza. Cerchiamo a quel punto di assegnare misure numeriche all'incertezza. I problemi principali nella teoria della probabilità sono legati alle sequenze: è vero che se avrà piovuto circa il 30% dei giorni scorsi, c'è una probabilità di circa il 0.30 che piova anche domani, ma non è detto che non esca il sole. Pertanto, come notato da Barnett (2009), e richiamandoci alla teoria di von Mises degli anni 1920, in una prospettiva classica la probabilità non è mai oggettiva, bensì solamente una struttura matematica del concetto base di calcolo della frequenza. Noi facciamo inferenze probabili per quello che sosteniamo validità oggettiva, ma passiamo da piena fiducia in un'affermazione ad una parziale in un'altra, e sosteniamo che questa procedura è ogget-tivamente giusta, tanto che se un altro uomo in circostanze similari intrattenesse un differente grado di fiducia, egli sbaglierebbe nel farlo. Keynes negli anni 1950 illustra questo supponendo che tra ogni due affermazioni, prese come premessa e conclusione, esiste solo e soltanto una relazione di un certo tipo chiamata "relazione di proba-bilità"; e che se, in ciascun caso dato, la relazione è quella di grado a, a partire da piena fiducia nella premessa, dovremmo, se fossimo razionali, procedere ad una fiducia di grado a nella conclusione.

Dal momento che, per definizione, lo spazio urbano a livello del suolo non può essere visto e vissuto tutto in una volta, ma richiede che l'osservatore si muova intorno al sistema costruendosi un quadro pezzo per pezzo, si potrebbe sospettare che l'intelligibilità ha qualcosa a che fare con il modo in cui un'immagine dell'intero sistema urbano può essere costruito dalle sue parti, e più specificamente, spostandosi da una parte all'altra.

Section 1. Introduction is a summary of descriptive data on informal settings in Indian cities, particularly in Amritsar district of Punjab, which has a population of 10,370 in an area of 1.29 km 2. The authors bring up common features of CPTED (Crime Prevention through Environmental Design) to highlight how the surroundings of Maqboolpura could be considered filthy and less liveable compared to other settlements in the area. "The poor quality of buildings" and "the lack of public spaces is seen by the authors as the main objective for the demand to create new living conditions in these informal settlements with the aim of making them capable of reducing crime and the feeling of insecurity associated with it. Figure 6 is a kind of child's drawing that perfectly explains that science has only cold meaning if we are not accustomed to the challenge and the possibility of showing things as they are, without masks and/or scientific manipulation filters. The authors therefore wish to show that habitability is a middle term among human needs and values, on the one hand, and on the other hand, a list of important human social constructions such as i. health care, ii. education, iii. spatial urban planning, etc. which models the environment, the distribution of establishments and the function of buildings. Maqboolpura is unfortunately described as a filthy space, filled with deprived areas, where people face enormous challenges in integrating into the rest of the socioeconomic sphere. Some investigations reported there have used i. primary surveys, ii. content analysis, and iii. land use analysis drawings with the aim of, among other things, detecting patterns of activity. The points considered at stake in safety and security are illustrated in the photographs in Figure 12. Information on how people feel in Maqboolpura is given in the section Perception of safety and security among residents of Maqboolpura. A proposal for redevelopment of this Indian zone is also presented in Figures 14 and 15.

This study explores the behavior of 39 residents, aged 17 to 91, in a Sicilian condominium, focusing on adherence to socio-juridical mandates and sanitation protocols in communal spaces post-2020 pandemic. The research builds on a previous study that examined the impact of COVID-19 during the first wave, considering factors such as meeting cancellations, social distancing, and mask mandates. The objective is to understand how these factors influenced collective decision-making during and after the pandemic and to assess the alignment of individual actions with collective goals. The present quantitative analysis investigates the trade-offs in collective decision-making, emphasizing the role of shared responsibility in mitigating risks and fostering cooperation. This study underscores the importance of condominium administrators and legal support in promoting cooperative dynamics and socio-juridical precautions for economic resilience. Metrics such as β** (ratio of individual benefit to community benefit) and θ ** (ratio of individual self-interest) are introduced to quantify their impact on decision-making processes and societal norms. Finally, this research highlights the significance of coordinated efforts and the need for effective socio-juridical frameworks to enhance communal living and ensure collective well-being during crises.

In fact, the economy of the EU (European Union) is deeply involved in the changing needs related to the dramatic consequences of climate change and environmental degradation, which has placed the needs of a more sustainable economy at the top of the international agenda. The environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects are marginally addressed to arouse a major interest in questions raised by green financial products which require long-term profit expectations, and which above all contain a margin of risk that is difficult to calculate in the landscape of traditional financial instruments. Through a careful approach akin to artificial intelligence research methods, we attempt to “materialize” at least the most visible clues of this fashionable economic shift through what we call SMC (sustainab...

Our article takes its first steps in the fact that one of the most common ways to fight the COVID-19 virus is to avoid close contact between people. Indeed, our condominium meetings have been canceled at the first COVID-19 vague (in late February 2020), and social distancing as well as the use of masks and hand sanitizer in the concierge are measures still adopted at the end of 2022. External people (parents, visitors in general, and patients from the three health offices housed in the condominium) have been reduced, and certain businesses, such as bed and breakfasts, which were operating until 2019, had been closed following the first vague of COVID-19 pandemics.

This study does not examine the circumstances in which criminal acts occur. Instead, it focuses on a broader concept that combines both the configurational factors and the behavioral interconnections in which criminal acts occur. We orient the occurrence probability of crime towards appropriate objectives in the presence or absence of attractors/detractors, with interesting variation in the behavior of the acting subject—in our case, a random walker (also called the Random Movement–displacement Agent, or RDMA, in the text), which is the key variable that triggers the occurrence probability of predatory crimes. The relationship between spatial and/or behavioral observations and the probability of the crimes that may result from such observatio...

Questo approccio richiama il significato della "società espositiva", definita da Bernard Harcourt, il quale tra i primi ha identificato i segreti «non solo come condizioni temporanee di occultazione che possono, e devono talvolta, essere indiscriminatamente esposti, ma anche come siti dell'agenzia nella quale la promessa di emancipazione si interrompe sul diritto al segreto ritenuto come il diritto di non rispondere e di non appartenere» Secondo Kornhauser (1978), Bursik (1988), e Sampson e Groves (1989), il concetto di "disorganizzazione sociale" può essere definito come «l'incapacità di una struttura comunitaria a realizzare i valori comuni dei suoi residenti e a mantenere efficaci controlli sociali». Le dimensioni strutturali dell'organizzazione sociale comunitaria includono sia la prevalenza come anche l'interdipendenza di reti sociali in una comunità, e l'ampiezza di supervisione collettiva che la comunità dirige verso problemi locali. Organizzazione sociale in tal modo è considerata una funzione sia di network informali (ad es., la densità di relazioni parentali locali, legami intergenerazionali, e controllo reciproco) che di istituzioni formali (ad es., la densità organizzativa e la partecipazione sociale come anche la stabilità istituzionale). Quindi il radicamento di alti tassi di crimini in alcuni quartieri sa-rebbe riflesso non tanto in certi "tipi di persone", bensì in una forza collettiva, caratteristica di una comunità stessa: in maniera simile al modello Durkheimiano osservato nel I capitolo, il crimine sarebbe considerato un "fatto sociale" collettivo più che individuale. Anche se alcuni fattori di "isolamento sociale" come è nel caso di alcune etnie possono contribuire alla formazione e cristallizzazione di comportamenti cultu-rali ghettizzati, quali una forte enfasi su sessualità e alcolismo, i fattori 28 EHRR 483).

Review of: "Study of environment-behavior in three types of the urban context of Tehran — Comparative analysis of the Chizar, Narmak, and Khazane neighborhoods’ context using survey and space syntax methods", 2023

Environment-behavior studies are among the important theoretical fields in environmental design s... more Environment-behavior studies are among the important theoretical fields in environmental design sciences. The concepts of territory, behavioral setting, and environmental affordance are essential and reliable in examining the relationship between humans and the environment, especially in the space of a residential neighborhood. The primary purpose of this study is to search for common physical attributes in three types of residential contexts that affect the daily behavior of residents. Also, a system of attributes with a significant correlation between the results of studies in these two areas can lead to constructing a design assistance software. This paper applies a survey method and space syntax analysis to study three types of contexts: organic (historical), orthogonal (modern) with a combination of urban squares, and orthogonal combined with hierarchical passages. The survey study includes field observation and questionnaire techniques. Besides, software analysis is carried out using Depthmap10. The scale of the study area in each context is home-based space. The results are represented as values from each method and correlation tables. There is also a system of attributes with correlations between the results of the questionnaire and the analysis for each of three contexts and a system for common correlations in all three contexts. The system is set up as a matrix which represents the most important and influential attributes and spatial properties that are predictable through software analysis.

The period that interests us is that of post-1991 Ethiopia. The urban land rental system is highlighted, raising a critical issue regarding the inconsistency and unpredictability of access to land for housing development despite policy interventions. The housing situation in the metropolitan region of Ethiopia, especially Addis Ababa, is effectively illustrated by highlighting the growing demand for housing due to various factors including urbanization and impulsive relocations. https://www.qeios.com/read/PSW1WA/pdf

Space syntax is applied to investigate common physical attributes shaping human behaviours in three residential contexts in Tehran, Iran. Examples of space syntax methods are presented. The authors highlight that i. spatial configuration, ii. spatial cognition, and iii. observation methods are key in all these reported examples. In their Section 2. Research method, authors employ a 14-day survey using space syntax, including a questionnaire with sections on general descriptive features and various aspects related to sociality, territory, activities,
behavioural settings, and affordances. “Affordances” refer to possible actions that an actor can readily perceive in space, a term coined in James J. Gibson 1966’s Theory of perceptual learning (TPL). Space syntax is done using UCL Depthmap 10 software, through axial analysis and visibility graphs methods performed in the studied area of Teheran.

Examining the Comparative Effect of the Built Environment on Crime Prevention in Plotted Development, Especially for Women's Safety at Both Hot and Cold Spots, 2023

[2023]) and to investigate the effect of the built environment on crime prevention in the Indian context. From there, the authors analyze the impact of buildings on women’s safety, particularly in public spaces. The authors collected addresses of places already qualified by the CPTED
foundations as “hot spots”. They also used secondary data on criminal and demographic records from India's National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB). In particular, the 2011 census and the F.I.R. (first information report) regarding the department of Uttar Pradesh. In addition, they made a comparison with the interest generated by these subjects by the
I.P.C. (Indian Penal Code) of Gomti Nagar, an area of the Indian city of Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh.

What is our participation in the university and what cultural and human commitments inform this participation? More trivially, what rights and duties does the individual acquire or lose within his or her academic identities? Our main target was finding an ideal organizational practice to examine, such as an emergency event. What strategy can the university adopt? Can it realign its distortions and retain its resources? How and in what ways? What information is needed for this purpose? Which actors are relevant in this process? A systemic survey model is, therefore, presented to analyze data obtained from a sample of 200 respondents from various academic groups, including students, professors, administrative staff, and other stakeholders. Quotas were used for the primary challenge posed by the pictures representing dimensions according to a systemic schema of organizational effectiveness (OE). Respondents were then asked to judge the dimensions and pictures against their personal capacity for intellectual identity, functionalism, and materialism. During the test, the participants were expected to develop their capacity to approach phenomenal consciousness and the search for its neural correlates, thereby becoming familiar with the high-order demands and challenges posed by the current information available to them. A nine-item interval behaviorally anchored rating scale (BARS) was used to develop a systemic matrix that could show the participants' collective OE when an emergency event occurs at the university. This study aims to stimulate a broader investigation into the preparation of programs and plans that should be a priority today in the context of sustainability in educational institutions, thereby setting useful thresholds on decision-making paths. To develop the collective model, a matrix generated by each respondents' dimensional modal values (DMVs) in the test and the overall samples' modal values (OMMVs) were used. Borrowing from Luce's theory of probability, we analyzed the similarity of the OE university matrix from the results in descending order, restricting our attention to modal values which were chosen for the test and demonstrate how the learning model was formulated to assume that each group with evolved behavior could respond adaptively to a conditional function thanks to its permanence in a university environment.
