The MIMIC construction logistics game: facilitating group discussion and understanding of construction logistics through gameplay
Authors: Bergström K , Billger M , Fredriksson A , Janné M 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
In order to facilitate discussion on construction logistic solutions in both homogenous and heterogeneous groups, the MIMIC CLS game has been developed, that allows players to negotiate transport routes and common logistics solutions surrounding an abstract construction area. Through game mechanics specially chosen to create appropriate friction between the players, discussion on the topics of the game is stimulated. The design process included significant amounts of testing and provided two key insights: the manner in which specific game design patterns influenced the game’s purpose, and the difficulties involved in creating, playing and presenting games for a target group with little or no experience of games. It was also evident that a designated game facilitator made it possible to further reinforce the impact of the game, and likely necessary to be able to use it in an appropriate timeframe. Future venues of work include the integration of the game and subsequent discussions into an overall workshop format.
A systematic review of the scientifically demonstrated effects of densification
Authors: Berghauser Pont M Y , Perg P G , Haupt P A , Heyman A 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
One of the current dominant strategies proposed for sustainable urban development is densification. UN Habitat prescribes a density of over 150 inhabitants per hectare to realize the UN Sustainable Development Goals. While some authors advocate the very reasonable benefits of density, others emphasize the potential drawbacks. The main goal of this paper is to provide a systematic review of international research on urban density and its potential benefits and drawbacks for sustainable urban development. 1208 articles were selected from Web of Science and after the screening of abstracts, 330 papers were found eligible to be included in the quantitative synthesis. Results show that the effects of densification that dominate literature are transport related studies (41%), followed by studies focusing on economics (14%), social effects (12%) and human health (11%). Least studied effects are resource efficiency (1%), service (3%) and urban environment (4%). Positive correlations with higher density are reported for transport and economics, while ecology, social impact and health show mainly negative correlations with higher density. The findings reported are generic as similar trends are found in North America, Asia and Europe and only minor differences in outcome are found in studies using different measures of density, unit or scale of analysis.
Modeling the thermal interaction of geothermal boreholes with aquifers using asymptotic expansion techniques
Authors: Rico Javier , Hermanns Miguel 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
To design an optimally-sized geothermal heat exchanger it is crucial to accurately forecast its thermal response over the whole lifetime of the building. Since the presence of aquifers highly affects the heat exchange between geothermal boreholes and the ground, both heat transfer mechanisms, conduction and convection, must be taken into account in the ground. In the present work the existence of large disparities in time and length scales in the problem is exploited using asymptotic expansion techniques to develop a theoretical model capable of taking into account both aforementioned heat transfer mechanisms for any Peclet number of the groundwater flow.
The definition of urban surface uses: a systemic approach for climate resilient and sustainable cities
Authors: Croce S , Vettorato D 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
In the current scenario of massive urbanization and global climate change, the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development identifies among the main goals the necessity to make cities sustainable and resilient. The urban surfaces (i.e. streets, façades, roofs, etc.) are a key element in this process. Indeed, their exploitation offers the opportunity to increase resource efficiency, to produce renewable energy, to mitigate and adapt to climate change, and to reduce the overall environmental impact of cities.
Urban planning plays an essential role in defining the allocation of surface uses and ensuring their integration. This paper proposes an analytical framework to support planning decisions about the types of surface use allowable, their extent and location. First, urban surfaces typologies and their major cluster of uses have been classified. For each cluster, a set of criteria has been identified to evaluate the technical viability of its application. Finally, a workflow has been designed for characterising the most suitable surface uses in consolidated urban areas. The application of the proposed approach, which has been tested in Bolzano (Italy), is able to support the implementation of integrated policies aimed at achieving Sustainable Development Goals in cities.
Collaborative governance models towards sustainable infrastructure projects: the case of resources
Authors: Hällström A Af , Bosch-Sijtsema P 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The construction and infrastructure industry contribute to almost a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions and is one of the largest drivers of resource use. This sector of the global economy is thus a promising area to look at for reducing environmental impact and increase sustainability. The impact of collaboration and cooperation within the project organisation has begun to garner more attention as the scale and scope, as well as the levels of uncertainty and complexity in construction and infrastructure projects have grown. This has led to an increase in collaborative contracting models applied to complex construction projects. In order to investigate the impact of collaborative contracting and the possibilities to advance the goal of resource efficiency and decrease environmental impact, a case study of two Nordic projects, utilising a collaborative project management model, is conducted. The findings suggest that the potential of using collaborative project management models in order to increase the sustainability of construction solutions is high. However, the use and understanding of the models vary between project actors. We conclude that the new collaborative project management models are important features in reducing environmental impact from infrastructure construction, yet several organisational and practical issues remain to be solved.
Transforming energy infrastructure between market incentives and local cooperation

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Distribution system (grid) operators (DSO’s) currently experience turbulent times. Changes in society and the energy infrastructure related to the worldwide accords to diminish CO2 emissions and the rise of decentral energy production demand a different position from DSO’s. Until recently DSO’s were utilities part of larger companies combining energy production, transportation and delivery. This changed after the introduction of a market model in the EU, making sure that consumers had a choice and competition would promote more efficiency and the investment of private capital in energy production. Now we are facing major impacts of the results of man induced global warming current economic models are questioned. Therefore it is important to investigate whether a different way of organizing would be able to bring about social transformation and different results that would be of value in reducing CO2 emissions and addressing adverse effects of the current economic system. In this paper it is investigated what the different model of cooperation would bring. This paper uses a framework of cooperation to explore new ways of working for DSO’s in the Netherlands. For this a case study is used directed at facilitating internal cooperation within one Dutch DSO.
Early prioritization of the United Nation’s goals for sustainable development in construction projects
Authors: Gade Anne N , Madsen Mette B 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The building sector holds great potential and responsibility in achieving several of the United Nations’ sustainable development goals (SDGs). This study presents preliminary findings of an exploratory study aiming at investigating how the SDGs can be successfully implemented in construction projects in a Danish context. A focus group workshop was held with academic experts within building design and the SDGs. The participants discussed which aspects were important throughout the different phases of new construction projects for successful implementation of the SDGs, and the roles of the included actors. The results showed that the participants highlighted SDG 4 (quality education) and SDG 17 (partnerships for achieving the goals) as the most important throughout the different phases, from the programming phase to demolition or renovation. SDG 3 (health and well-being), was seen as the most important factor during the occupation phase, and the main positive effect of a successful design process. A “phase zero” was proposed to ensure a common ground and understanding the SDGs among the involved actors before the programming phase. Several barriers for implementing the SDGs in Danish building projects were identified in the study, including the need for local indicators, transfer of knowledge between the involved actors, and lack of user involvement. The results indicate that there is a need for rethinking and supporting strong partnerships among the different actors, improve knowledge management, and ensure targeted educational material regarding the SDGs towards all actors involved in the building process, including the building owner, advisors, craftsmen and users.
Resilient Leaders for Resilient Cities
Authors: Diaby Cheick , Roux-Dufort Christophe 
Published: November 2020

AbstractThis theoretical paper takes an aesthetic view of leadership to investigate the leadership needed to make cities more resilient. It sees an urban system as a complex, evolving entity constantly crossed by a variety of inflows and outflows connecting it to other systems, while its constituent elements are in interaction between themselves. Three fundamental dispositions in the aesthetic literature,sensibility,reflexivityandwisdom,seem crucial to ensure that leaders anticipate and cope with a variety of shocks, taking advantage of the opportunities to transform and learn. These dispositions are found fundamental to urban resilience. The paper also discusses the implications for preparation and learning.
Cooperative societies and the urban housing supply: a study of lagos, nigeria
Authors: Oyalowo Basirat 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to establish the scope of co-operatives’ housing supply activities in Lagos and their potential as alternative housing suppliers in the city accounting for up to thirty percent of the estimated seventeen million housing deficits in Nigeria. This is with a view to ascertaining their capacity to enhance the ability of Lagos State to meet up with the affordable housing targets of the SDGs. This is vital if target 1 of SDG 11 that focusses on affordable housing provision is to be realized. The study adopts an explanatory, sequential Quan-qual mixed-method design. For the quantitative phase, a survey based on a systematic random sampling of four hundred and one co-operative leaders was done with statistical analysis was done. For the qualitative aspect, a focus group discussion was carried out and analysed with a computer-aided qualitative data analysis system (CAQDAS). Findings show that co-operative societies are most active in land acquisition activities but their capacity to convert these lands to housing units is limited, and that co-operative societies are as constrained as other housing suppliers in meeting transaction costs. However, seven crucial success factors for co-operative societies’ involvement in housing supply were discovered in the qualitative phase; which has not been identified by previous researchers in this study. These provide fresh policy directions for the sector.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Paddy cannot grow optimally on saline soil, one of which is due to the low production of plant hormones. One crucial plant growth hormone is auxin, the Indole Acetic Acid (IAA). The application of saline-resistant bacteria producing IAA can promote the paddy growth of saline fields. This study aimed to explore saline-resistant bacteria capable of producing IAA from paddy fields around Jetis beaches, Kebumen, Central Java, and to test them on hydroponic systems and to develop the bacteria into biofertilizer. The following steps were followed for this study, soil sampling, bacterial isolation, bacterial selection using saline medium, IAA production measurement, and screening in planta with hydroponic systems. The results showed that five isolates of saline-resistant bacteria produced IAA. Isolates JB 2 exhibited the highest IAA (26.34 ppm). Screening in planta showed that JB2 addition to the growing media had higher plant heights and weights.

Abstract

Curcuma zanthorrhiza is a plant from the family Zingiberaceae that commonly grows in Indonesia. Traditional medicine, spices of food, beverages, cosmetics, and coloring agents, especially food coloring use the plant quite often. The experiments used a complete random factorial design with 3x3 replicates. The treatments consisted of Curcuma varieties (V) from Malang, Blora, and Sukoharjo, drought stress (K) expose was daily watering plants as the control (K1), one every two days watering plants (K2), and one every three days watering plants (K3). The research aimed to determine the response of Curcuma in agronomic characters and metabolite compounds during drought stress treatments. The drought stress (K) showed significant results on Curcuma plant height, in which three-day watering negatively affected the plant height. Sukoharjo variety with every-day watering produced the best rhizome weight compared to two other varieties. Secondary metabolites of xanthorrhizol and curcumin identified with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) analysis from the Sukoharjo variety ginger rhizome showed a relative concentration of 1.25 ± 0.46 and 1.53 ± 0.54, respectively.

Abstract
River Sapuregel empties into the eastern region of Segara Anakan Cilacap. It is one of the major rivers surrounded by mangrove forests and has a variety of biological resources, including fish. The research aimed to study the fish diversity and composition Sapuregel river mouth of Segara Anakan Eastern Area Cilacap. Research on fish diversity was carried out from April to September 2018. The method was purposive random sampling at the Sapuregel estuary. The results showed that 1.446 individuals representing 23 families and 34 species were dominated by Engraulidae families in the rainy season (42.57%) and dry season (57.41%) followed by Gobidae (16.82%) in the rainy season and Mugilidae (19, 44%) in the dry season. Small fish within the range of 2.7–22.9 cm dominated the caught fish. Fish Diversity Index ranges from 1.71 to 1.843 in the rainy and dry seasons between 1.352-1.56. These results indicated that fish diversity in the rainy season was higher than the dry season. Evenness Index ranges from 0.1907 to 0.2178 in the rainy season, between 0.2274 and 0.28 in the dry season, the species similarity in the dry season was higher than the rainy season. The size of the fish obtained varied from juvenile to adult size. It was dominated by small fish so that it was suspected that the waters of the River Sapuregel were used as spawning grounds and enlargement of several types of fish.

Published: November 2020

AbstractCilacap Regency resides in the southern part of Central Java. It faces the Indian Ocean and has a quite long coastline with sandy beaches as the favorable habitats for mole crabs. Careful examinations on previously identified asEmerita emeritussamples from Cilacap, the mole crabs showed slight morphological differences toEmerita emeritusLinnaeus. We assume that our samples are sympatric species of E.emerituscomplex rather than E.emeritusBoyko. A length of 560 bp fragments of the cytochrome oxidase 1 was sequenced. Homology test resulted in 83 - 86% sequences similarity to E.emeritussequence available in GenBank (KR047035). Our samples also had high genetic distances (0.152 -0.155) to the sequence of KR047035. The phylogenetic tree showed a clear separation between our samples and reference sequence (Emerita emeritusKR047035) with a quite long branch. Those all three kinds of data prove that our Emerita samples are most likely not belong to previously identifiedEmerita emeritusBoyko although it shows only slight morphological differences. These results indicate that possible cryptic species ofEmerita emeritusor E.emerituscomplex inhabits sandy beaches in Cilacap coast. It has been described that cryptic species are common in aquatic organisms. However, we need more samples to examine and strengthen our finding.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Segara Anakan Cilacap waters consist of lagoon and riverine areas with mangrove forests. The mixing of inland and marine waters affects the plankton community. The research objectives were to describe plankton species richness and abundance, water quality during tides, and to analyze the relationship among them. The research method was a survey with a purposive sampling technique. Sampling was taken from five stations, four times in a dry season, on a spring tide when the maximum tidal range occurs. The water quality parameters consisted of temperature, current velocity, light penetration, pH, dissolved oxygen, free carbon dioxide, and salinity. The results showed that plankton species richness was the highest during the new moon at Station 3 near Motean and dominated by sea waters from Divisio Chrysophyta, such as Chaetoceros decipiens. The next taxa were Phylum Arthropoda, Divisio Cyanophyta, Divisio Chlorophyta, Phylum Euglenozoa, and Phylum Cnidaria. The plankton abundance was the highest during the new moon at Station 1 and dominated by sea waters from Divisio Chrysophyta, such as Chaetoceros. Water quality during the maximum tidal range in the new moon was better than the full moon at Station 1. In general, the highest plankton abundance was related to better water quality at Station 1.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
Silver barb (Barbonymus gonionotus) is one of the fish species with no sexual dimorphism. The study of sexual dimorphism in Silver barb with truss morphometric techniques has been limited. Truss morphometric is a recognized technique to distinguish male and female fish with no sexual dimorphism. Therefore, it was necessary to conduct a study which aimed to distinguish male and female using the truss morphometrics technique. The method was a survey in which fish samples were taken by purposive random sampling in the upstream, middle, and downstream areas of the River Klawing. The parameters were truss morphometrics distance and the total length of individual fish to calculate the ratio truss morphometrics distance of each fish sex. T-test was applied to compare the ratio truss morphometrics distance between males and females. The results showed that the truss morphometrics distance between males and females was characterized by the head, body, and tail. In general, male fish have a more elongated body size than female fish.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
The skewed and rapid urbanization in developing country India has resulted in fissiparous and multipronged problems at different levels starting from city or perhaps regional levels to local or perhaps neighborhood in the lack of good urban planning and regulatory mechanism the urban environment adversely. Many issues that have been elevated in recent times are related to traffic congestion, reduction in the total amount of green cover, peri-urban settlement typology that has ultimately affected the natural ecosystem, and the surrounding areas’ environment adversely. These prevailing issues will worsen over the coming decades as the urban population increases at a phenomenal rate, thus highlighting the urgency to take appropriate actions. The growing urban environmental crisis has even more aggravated because of the constrained budgets and inefficient institutional machinery without clarified responsibilities. India is a nation of diverse geographical and climate zones with most of the climate, geographical conditions, and ecosystems of the globe found in various regions of the nation. These factors also affect the design, quality, and development of the urban built and unbuilt environment. The previous studies highlighted the role of meticulous, coordinated. They planned the development of urban cities and centers that are also self-sustaining and ecological to solve existing and upcoming challenges. The Smart City Mission launched by the Government of India is deemed the solution and emerging planning strategies to tackle and mitigate the issues of unregulated growth and rapid urbanization of the city currently and realize the objectives of the sustainable future. The unregulated urbanization with no due consideration to the ecosystem has turned into a significant source of deterioration of the quality of urban environment, a recurring and emerging disaster like urban flooding, Etc. And a significant cause of global climate change. This paper attempts to assess and evaluate the significance of smart city projects and missions in planning and developing cities that could deliver a much better urban environment and help achieve the goal of environmental resilience in the nation.
