Published: June 2023

Security is a major issue in the governance of any state and hence the success of any administration is usually measured in terms of her ability to adequately manage the security situations in such a state. The study examined the state and security management in Anambra State between 2014 and 2020. The study is qualitative in nature as data collection was based on the secondary sources of data, while the Social Contract Theory was judiciously utilized as the framework of analysis. Based on this, the study revealed that; poor equipment’s amongst other factors are challenges that impeded proper security management in Anambra State under Governor Willie Obiano’s administration; again, the study showed that there has been a systematic approach towards addressing security challenges in the state by government. The efforts being made by the state agencies to curb the menace of insecurity of all kinds are synchronized though not very effective. From the findings, the study recommended that; first, the government should make sure that its policies are implemented effectively. It is not enough to make good policies while implementing it is a problem. Government must realize that it has a limited time and should therefore use it effectively. Secondly, government agencies like the National Orientation Agency (NOA) should be made to be functional in carrying out their responsibilities. Here, government can partner with the civil society in enlightening citizens on government programmes. The citizens on their part are expected to play roles that will complement government efforts. The citizens need to be more security conscious. Citizens should be sensitized and mobilized from time to time, to fulfil their civic obligations. They should be law-abiding, pay their taxes and other dues correctly and promptly. Citizens should be courageous to criticize or engage the government constructively. In doing this, public facilities and projects should be properly maintained and sustained, and both government and the citizens have roles to play to achieve this.
The Sociology of Knowledge in Change Processes: Connecting Mother Tongue Education with Knowledge Development in Cameroon Primary Schools
Authors: Nadege NGALA , EVANI TANGYIE , ENI-ENIH FOKWA Ruth , TEUFACK Annie Carelle DONJI
Published: June 2023

What, exactly, constitutes an appropriate understanding of life issues is the degree to which these issues interrelate with the operational values and systems of a given community. Yet, this understanding is intrinsically linked to the cultural realities of the people covertly or overtly expressed in the language of their contextual reality which is the mother tongue. This study focuses on the interconnectivity of knowledge in this evaluative era of multiculturalism in Cameroon and seeks to establish the challenges of the mother tongue education in some selected primary schools in Donga Mantung Division with the Limbum language as a case study. The paper discusses, from a psychosocial perspective, issues raised by Skinner and Tamanji in their theories of behaviourism and cognitivism respectively in an attempt to contribute to the on-going discourse on the vital need to revitalize Cameroon local languages at the initial levels of education, which is the primary school. In examining the critical role for research and the importance of transformative or quantitative mother tongue education, the paper underpins the challenges inherent in the process and the limitations in carrying out the project with naturalness and authenticity.

The Church Music, Transition and Reforms in the Ghanaian Christian Church
Authors: Mawusi Foster Eddison , Klutse Eric Kwadzo
Published: June 2023

Purpose: The discourse examines the origin of Church music, its transition and reforms in the Christian church in Ghana in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The paper explores the seeming connection and embodiment of elements of Judaism as well as features characterized by the early Patriarchal Church Music policy. It also seeks to unravel the forgotten process that unpins the transition characterized by these musical reforms in the church in Ghana.

Methodology: To do this, the paper engaged in a desk study review of the existing empirical literature on the origin of church music and specifically, the various transitional periods between the late 19th and early 21st Centuries.

Findings: It became evident from the study that the church in Ghana, just like in many other African nations broke the imposing dictatorship of Patriarchal Church Music policy giving birth to new movements in church music reforms. This major breakthrough was achieved through the indigenization activities such as the integration of traditional features and acceptance of secular music into the church by the locally formed independent churches.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The discourse, therefore, concludes that the church in Ghana made considerable strive with heavy transformation in gaining musical autonomy despite the intensity of resistance. However, ironically the Ghanaian church music scene remains the embodiment of converging cultures; partly Western, partly Ghanaian. This must be a major concern for further study.

Published: June 2023

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect lysine and methionine supplementation to low  protein diet on production performance and serum biochemical parameters in Vanaraja laying hens.  One hundred twenty (n=120), 30-weeks old Vanaraja laying hens were randomly distributed into four  dietary treatments with three replicates in each group having 10 birds in each replicate. Four diets  were formulated with 2600 kcal/kg of metabolizable energy (ME) and 13% crude protein (CP). The  dietary treatments were: T1- diet contains 0.65% lysine and 0.28% methionine; T2- diet contains  0.70% lysine and 0.32% methionine; T3- diet contains 0.75% lysine and 0.36% methionine and T4-  diet contains 0.80% lysine and 0.40% methionine. Body weight and its changes, Hen Housed Egg  Production (HHEP), egg weight (g), egg mass (g/day), and feed conversion ratio and serum  biochemical parameters found significantly (P<0.05) differed across the dietary treatments during  different phases of the experimental period. There was significant (P<0.05) effect of lysine and  methionine on the overall body weight gain. Serum biochemical parameters like albumin, globulin,  creatinine, uric acid, triglycerides and AST activity varied due to supplementation of EAAs to low CP  diet. So it was concluded that diet containing 0.65% lysine and 0.28% methionine (T1) is adequate  for optimum production performance and serum biochemical indices in Vanaraja laying hens.

Authors: Usman I. H.  , Omizegba E. E.  , Jiya J. D.  , Bakare G. A.  , Godwin S
Published: June 2023

Handover is a process in mobile communications in which a connected cellular call or a data session is transferred from one cell site (base station) to another without disconnecting the session. Cellular services are based on mobility and handover allows the user to be moved from one cell site or another for better network performance. There are many handover decision algorithms presented in literature. Generally, system metrics or network parameters are used as measure to decide whether or not to invoke a handover process. For wireless communication networks, the 3GPP and IEEE usually set minimum threshold level that when satisfied would initiate handover process from serving cell to the target cell. It is left to the system engineers to develop their own algorithms based on the network peculiarities to maintain and enhance the network key performance indicators (KPIs). Toward this direction, this paper is focused on reviewing the handover decision algorithms for wireless communication network highlighting the system metrics used and the area of applications
Diagenesis of continental carbonates linked to the evolution of the flexural margin of the Triassic Sorocayense-Hilario rift sub-basin, Argentina
Authors: Benavente Cecilia Andrea , Matheos Sergio , Barredo Silvia , Abarzúa Fernando , Mancuso Adriana Cecilia
Published: June 2023

The lithostratigraphic units that conform the Sorocayense Group and fill the Sorocayense-Hilario sub-basin represent an alluvial-fluvial-lacustrine succession with significant volcanic supply during its deposition. They are namely the Cerro Colorado del Cementerio, Agua de los Pajaritos, Monina, Hilario and El Alcázar formations and present several carbonate levels. The genesis, diagenesis, and main controlling factors on continental carbonates present a means to understand basin evolution through the study of their petrography and chemical elemental composition through cathodoluminescence techniques. We have identified six microfacies: a) homogeneous micrite, b) bioclastic micrite, c) dolomicrite, d) laminated micrite, e) oncolitic packstone, and f) sparitic carbonate. Among these microfacies, six cementation and alteration phases have been identified: a) micritization, b) mechanical compaction, c) calcitic cementation, d) sparitic cementation, e) microsparitic cementation, and f) chemical compaction. This analysis allowed establishing a chronology of the diagenetic modifications undergone by the carbonates. Results support diagenesis was controlled mainly by tectonics showing major impact in carbonate facies identified at the flexural margin of the rift. The effect would have been linked to exertion of a paleohydrological effect favoring lateral meteoric water migration through faulting. The presence of dolomite in some of the microfacies is linked to the presence of montmorillonite as the dominant Mg-rich-phyllosilicate in clay assemblages most likely acting as the potential source. In turn, Mg is more likely to be replaced by Mn leading to luminescent carbonate microfacies.
Paleontology and stratigraphic implications of a late Paleocene elasmobranch assemblage in Talcahuano, southcentral Chile
Authors: Rodríguez Diego , Ward David John , Quezada Jorge Andrés
Published: June 2023

Late Paleocene elasmobranch findings are reported, along with reinterpretations of some previous taxonomic identifications in two main outcrops around Talcahuano area (Biobío region, Chile), and also delimiting the exposed lithostratigraphic units. Reviewed fossils are among 15 genera, comprising the species Paraorthacodus clarkii, Squalus minor, Squalus orpiensis, Centrophorus sp., Squatina prima, Anomotodon novus, Striatolamia striata, Carcharias spp., Sylvestrilamia teretidens, Odontaspis winkleri, Palaeohypotodus speyeri, Palaeohypotodus rutoti, Isurolamna inflata, Premontreia gilberti, Physogaleus secundus, Palaeogaleus vincenti and Hypolophodon sylvestris. The main elasmobranch assemblage, collected from the San Martín outcrop, indicates deposition in a shallow lower shoreface-uppermost offshore marine environment and warm-temperate water. Moreover, this elasmobranch assemblage constrains the age of Pilpilco Formation into the middle-late Thanetian, which implies a latest Thanetian-early Ypresian age for the overlying Curanilahue Formation and a Danian-early Thanetian hiatus with the underlying Quiriquina Formation.

Based on importance of animal products safety, the purpose of this work was to assess the extent of parasitism at the wholesale market level of Inezgane and the fishing port of Agadir in Morocco. For this purpose, fieldwork aimed at direct investigation of parasites involved 366 fish pieces. This study was conducted in the period between March and June 2021. The prevalence of parasitism was 20.76%. The total number of parasites collected is 2385 including 1959 nematodes, 318 xenomas, 92 cestodes, and 16 isopods. An abundance of 6.51 and an overall intensity of 31.38. These infestation parameters varied by species and location of origin. For the qualitative analysis of the parasites, the study revealed a predominance of L3 larvae of the Anisakis nematode with a percentage of 82.14%. Xenomas had a percentage of 13.33%. As for the cestodes of Gymnorhynchus gigas, the larvae were collected from the Atlantic pomfret (Brama brama) with a percentage of 3.86%. As a result of this study, a significant positive correlation of r=0.81 was shown between the total length of the fish and the number of anisakids. The results of this study revealed that the extent of parasitism seems to be less pronounced in some species, but there is still a presence of concern.

Published: June 2023

A inseminação artificial heteróloga, uma das técnicas de reprodução assistida, foi desenvolvida com o objetivo de combater a infertilidade. Essa técnica envolve o uso de material genético doado por terceiros, que têm o direito ao anonimato protegido. No entanto, crianças e adolescentes têm o direito de investigar sua identidade genética. Surge, então, a questão: se o doador do material genético não pode ser identificado, quem será considerado o pai dessa criança concebida por meio da inseminação heteróloga? Este trabalho tem como objetivo demonstrar a importância tanto do anonimato do doador quanto da investigação da identidade genética, analisando o conflito existente entre esses dois aspectos e buscando uma solução pacífica. Para essa pesquisa, será adotada uma abordagem qualitativa, com um objeto descritivo, utilizando o método dedutivo e procedimento bibliográfico, ou seja, baseado na análise de materiais já publicados. Como resultado, conclui-se que a filiação socioafetiva é fundamental para a harmonia, uma vez que, a partir desse entendimento, é possível afirmar que a investigação genética não se confunde com a investigação de paternidade. Dessa forma, mesmo que a identidade do doador seja revelada, ele não será considerado o pai, uma vez que não possui vínculo afetivo com a criança. Portanto, o entendimento contemporâneo é de que a filiação não se baseia apenas em laços sanguíneos, mas sim em afeto e vínculo.

The Development of Exegesis in Indonesia
Authors: Hamzah Idil
Published: June 2023

This paper examines the Adaby Ijtima'i style in Daud Ismail's interpretation of al-Munir. This style of interpretation explains the instructions for the verses of the Qur'an related to the conditions of society and efforts to overcome the problems of society by presenting the instructions for the verses in language that is simple to comprehend and implement in their daily lives. The most important aspect of the Adaby Ijtima'i style of interpretation is that the Qur'anic texts are connected to the realities of people's lives, social traditions, and civilizational systems so that they can be applied to problem-solving. Using a descriptive-analytic method to manage data, qualitative research, which is library research, was employed for this study. In his commentary, Daud Ismail allegedly applied the Adaby Ijtima'i interpretation style to the verses of the Qur'an. These signals can be found, among other places, in the writing of his commentary using the Bugis script lontara with the intention of facilitating public comprehension of the Qur'an, as well as in various interpretations, one of which is found in the QS. Al-Maidah Daud Ismail responds to the bad practices of Bugis society, such as abbotoreng (gambling) and drinking tuak pai'e (bitter wine), and then discusses the prohibition of Abberhalae (idol worship), such as batue (stones), pong ajue, etc (trees). and bring offerings such as sokko, inanre madupang-dupang Iyarega na itello (glutinous rice, assorted rice, and eggs)

 

Tulisan ini mengkaji corak Adaby Ijtima'i dalam tafsir Daud Ismail terhadap al-Munir. Corak tafsir ini menjelaskan petunjuk ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an terkait dengan kondisi masyarakat dan upaya mengatasi permasalahan masyarakat dengan menyajikan petunjuk ayat-ayat tersebut dalam bahasa yang mudah dipahami dan dilaksanakan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Aspek terpenting dari corak penafsiran Adaby Ijtima'i adalah bahwa teks-teks Al-Qur'an terhubung dengan realitas kehidupan masyarakat, tradisi sosial, dan sistem peradaban sehingga dapat diterapkan pada pemecahan masalah. Dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif-analitik untuk mengelola data, penelitian kualitatif yang merupakan penelitian kepustakaan digunakan untuk penelitian ini. Dalam tafsirnya, Daud Ismail diduga menerapkan corak tafsir Adaby Ijtima'i pada ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an. Sinyal-sinyal tersebut antara lain dapat ditemukan dalam penulisan tafsirnya menggunakan aksara Bugis lontara dengan maksud memudahkan pemahaman masyarakat terhadap Al-Qur'an, serta dalam berbagai penafsiran, salah satunya ditemukan dalam QS.  Al-Maidah Daud Ismail menanggapi praktik buruk masyarakat Bugis, seperti ab botoreng (judi) dan minum tuak pai'e (anggur pahit), dan kemudian membahas larangan Abberhalae (penyembahan berhala), seperti batue (batu), pong ajue, dll (pohon). dan membawa sesaji seperti sokko, inanre madupang-dupang Iyarega na itello (beras ketan, aneka beras, dan telur)

Abstract. The unprecedented lockdown of human activities during the
COVID-19 pandemic has significantly influenced social life in China.
However, understanding the impact of this unique event on the emissions
of different species is still insufficient, prohibiting the proper
assessment of the environmental impacts of COVID-19 restrictions. Here we
developed a multi-air-pollutant inversion system to simultaneously estimate
the emissions of NOx, SO2, CO, PM2.5 and PM10 in China
during COVID-19 restrictions with high temporal (daily) and horizontal
(15 km) resolutions. Subsequently, contributions of emission changes versus
meteorological variations during the COVID-19 lockdown were separated and
quantified. The results demonstrated that the inversion system effectively
reproduced the actual emission variations in multi-air pollutants in China
during different periods of COVID-19 lockdown, which indicate that the
lockdown is largely a nationwide road traffic control measure with NOx
emissions decreasing substantially by ∼40 %. However,
emissions of other air pollutants were found to only decrease by
∼10 % because power generation and heavy industrial
processes were not halted during lockdown, and residential activities may
actually have increased due to the stay-at-home orders. Consequently,
although obvious reductions of PM2.5 concentrations occurred over the North
China Plain (NCP) during the lockdown period, the emission change only accounted
for 8.6 % of PM2.5 reductions and even led to substantial increases
in O3. The meteorological variation instead dominated the changes in
PM2.5 concentrations over the NCP, which contributed 90 % of the
PM2.5 reductions over most parts of the NCP region. Meanwhile, our results
suggest that the local stagnant meteorological conditions, together with
inefficient reductions of PM2.5 emissions, were the main drivers of the
unexpected PM2.5 pollution in Beijing during the lockdown period. These
results highlighted that traffic control as a separate pollution control
measure has limited effects on the coordinated control of O3 and
PM2.5 concentrations under current complex air pollution conditions in
China. More comprehensive and balanced regulations for multiple precursors
from different sectors are required to address O3 and PM2.5
pollution in China.
A conceptual model for the estimation of flood damage to power grids
Authors: Asaridis Panagiotis , Molinari Daniela
Published: June 2023

Abstract. Flood damage assessment is a critical aspect in any decision-making process on flood risk management. For this reason, reliable tools for flood damage estimation are required for all the categories of exposed elements. Despite infrastructures can suffer high economic losses in case of flood, compared to other exposed sectors, their flood damage modelling is still a challenging task. This is due, on the one hand, to the structural and dynamic complexity of infrastructure networks, and, on the other hand, to the lack of knowledge and data to investigate damage mechanisms and to calibrate and validate damage models. Grounding on the investigation of the state-of-the-art, this paper presents a conceptualization of flood damage to power grids and reviews the methodologies in the field for an in-depth understanding of the existing modelling approaches, challenges, and limitations. The conceptual model highlights: (i) the different kinds of damage (i.e., direct, indirect, and systemic) the network can suffer, (ii) the hazard, exposure, and vulnerability parameters on which they depend, (iii) the spatial and temporal scales required for their assessment, (iv) the interconnections among power grids and economic activities, and (v) the different recipients of economic losses. The development of the model stresses the importance of dividing the damage assessment into two steps: the estimation of damage in physical units and the consequent economic losses in monetary terms. The variety of damage mechanisms and cascading effects shaping the final damage figure arises, asking for an interdisciplinary and multi-scale evaluation approach. The ultimate objective of the conceptual model is to be an operative tool in support of more comprehensive and reliable flood damage assessments to power grids.
Spatiotemporal domestic wastewater variability: Assessing implications of population mobility in pollutants dynamics

Abstract. Population mobility can change pollutants variability in domestic wastewater (DW). However, the implications of mobility on DW variability in small localities are rarely analyzed and visualized in space and time. Often, only limited mobility data is available for these types of areas. In this study, we investigate the implications of population mobility on DW variability using an Agent-Based model (ABM). The ABM simulates the spatiotemporal DW variability of chemical oxygen demand (COD) across the sewage network. Two scenarios are tested, one where inhabitants commute daily to school and work and the other when the population remains at home. In each scenario, the spatial variability of COD loads is mapped and analyzed at the sewage maintenance holes. Apparent changes are observed between these spatial patterns. The obtained maps show that DW loads vary across space, where substantial COD load differences exist between the two mobility scenarios. Population mobility implicates higher COD loads at some maintenance holes compared to a scenario with inhabitants remaining home. The spatial DW variability also gets higher upstream and lower downstream, implicating that mobility does not substantially generates variability at the wastewater treatment plant inflow. The preliminary results suggest that population mobility impacts the spatial DW variability across the sewage network, which requires further analysis with wider temporal coverage.

Abstract. Participatory design approaches are increasingly used to involve citizens in the decision-making processes to actively address their preferences. Participatory design techniques dealing with urban issues often depend on digitally produced still-images. However, still-images lack immersion and explanation, which can negatively influence non-experts’ understanding of the implications of different design decisions. Use of still-images also reduce active participation of non-experts in the design process of their environments. To address these shortcomings, the Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) application ‘CoHeSIVE’ is developed and tested for designing healthy public spaces. It includes an innovative methodology to incorporate intuitive design decisions based on inflicted adjustments in a simulated environment. The application automatically generates new design scenarios by combining different pre-composed design elements based on people’s selection. This is done to understand and discuss preferences of individuals and groups for new, not yet existing scenarios. Results from a pilot test, concerning the redesign of a plaza, indicated that participants can interpret and design urban forms through the application. Furthermore, participants felt that the interface and features were easy and useful to alter the base scenario into a new design scenario by selecting preferred elements. These results show the capability of the application to initiate a conversation between citizens and designers towards meaningful design outcomes. A set of guidelines for implementing the instrument for urban research is suggested in order to standardize its use and allow the application to be a base for methodological improvements to be further developed regarding multi-user support and as serious game instrument.
Visualizing of the below-ground water network infrastructure

Published: June 2023

Abstract. This research addresses the design and the utilization of vertical reference features in Augmented Reality (AR) to aid in providing perspective from underground pipes to the ground surface. The study utilizes 3D GIS data and assigns Z coordinates to the Underground Utility Networks (UUNs) using the AHN4 digital elevation data of the Netherlands (and either use standard depth or surveyed depth). However, registering Z coordinates and related data at the vertex level presents data registration issues that Esri's current Utility Network Model (UNM) cannot accommodate. A supplementary data model is required to address this, which can be achieved through vertical reference features. These multifunctional features emphasize the height difference between the pipe and the ground surface and can be used in AR applications to provide better depth clues. Additionally, polygons signatures and flow direction are utilized to enhance visualization.
Where do people look at during multi-scale map tasks?
Authors: Wenclik Laura , Touya Guillaume
Published: June 2023

Abstract. In order to design better pan-scalar maps, i.e. interactive, zoomable, multi-scale maps, we need to understand how they are perceived, understood, processed, manipulated by the users. This paper reports an experiment that uses an eye-tracker to analyse the gaze behaviour of users zooming and panning into a pan-scalar map. The gaze data from the experiment shows how people look at landmarks to locate the new map view after a zoom. We also identified different types of behaviours during a zoom when people stare at the mouse cursor, or during a pan where the gaze follows a landmark while the map translates.
Studying critical values for global Moran’s I under inhomogeneous Poisson point processes
Authors: Westerholt René
Published: June 2023

Abstract. Spatial autocorrelation is a fundamental statistical property of geographical data. A number of estimators have been introduced, with Moran’s I being one of the most commonly used methods. The characterisation of spatial autocorrelation is useful for a number of applications, including finding clusters, testing model assumptions, investigating spatial outliers, and others. Most estimators of spatial autocorrelation are based on assessing the degree of correspondence between structures in an attribute and structures among spatial units, both of which are operationalised in matrix form. Associated inference procedures then rely on holding the spatial configuration fixed, but varying the attribute values over the geometries. Although fixing the geometries is useful in many scenarios, there are cases where it would be more appropriate to allow the geometries to vary as well, such as in the analysis of social media feeds or mobile sensor observations. In this short paper, the case is considered where geometries are the result of inhomogeneous spatial Poisson processes. Using diagonal and circular types of spatial structuring, it is investigated how random geometries affect critical values used to assess the significance of global Moran’s I scores. It is shown that the critical values resulting from an established inference framework often underestimate the bounds that would result if geometric randomness were taken into account. This leads to type-I errors and thus potential false positive patterns.
Detecting Road Damages in Mobile Mapping Point Clouds using Competitive Reconstruction Networks

Published: June 2023

Abstract. LiDAR scanning technology is an established method for capturing landscapes, buildings, or roads in order to create a so-called spatial digital twin of the reality, stored as a large collection of 3D coordinates called 3D point cloud. This spatial data offers high density and precision at the cost of hard to extract shape or object information. One popular application of LiDAR 3D point clouds is road condition quality exams. This task is challenging due to a lack of dedicated algorithms to extract and evaluate road point cloud features and due to the large variety of road damages. Deep learning approaches are very promising, but require extensive training data. The data and damage characteristics make data labeling a very difficult and tedious task that often results in mislabeled data, even when performed by trained human operators.We propose a semi supervised generative adversarial network (GAN) based approach for labeling 2D images rendered from LiDAR point cloud data captured by mobile mapping vehicles, named Competitive Reconstruction Networks (CRN). Our solution trains multiple networks with the same architecture in an ”all vs all” fashion. Our method achieves reliable and robust results on two road image datasets as well as the MVTecAD dataset, and surpass comparable anomaly detection approaches in anomaly detection performance. We also implemented a data generation pipeline to render training images from 3D point cloud of roads and remap anomaly scores back to those 3D point clouds to use the full potential of the 3D data for further analysis.
Is it safe to be attractive? Disentangling the influence of streetscape features on the perceived safety and attractiveness of city streets

Abstract. City streets that feel safe and attractive motivate active travel behaviour and promote people’s well-being. However, determining what makes a street safe and attractive is a challenging task because subjective qualities of the streetscape are difficult to quantify. Existing evidence typically focuses on how different street features influence perceived safety or attractiveness, but little is known about what influences both. To fill this knowledge gap, we developed a crowdsourcing tool and conducted a study with 403 participants, who were asked to virtually navigate city streets in Frankfurt, Germany, through a sequence of street-level images, rate locations based on perceived safety and attractiveness, and explain their ratings. Our results contribute new insights regarding the key similarities and differences between the factors influencing perceived safety and attractiveness. We show that the presence of human activity is strongly related to perceived safety, whereas attractiveness is influenced primarily by aesthetic qualities, as well as the number and type of amenities along a street. Moreover, we demonstrate that the presence of construction sites and underpasses has a disproportionately negative impact on perceived safety and attractiveness, outweighing the influence of any other features. We use the results to make evidence-informed recommendations for designing safer and more attractive streets that encourage active travel modes and promote well-being.
