Rescue archaeology in urban contexts often opens small windows on ancient settlements that need to be combined to better perceive the history of these settlements. This article suggests that the same combinatory approach should be employed with survey data. Indeed, archaeological surveys can split single ancient settlements into multiple archaeolog...

We present an agent-based model that explores the intricate relationship between pro-family and prosocial behaviors and their impact on settlement formation. The objective is to investigate how the technological level and various constraints influence the transition from pro-family to prosocial behavior. The model incorporates factors such as the s...

This literature review explores the role of urban metabolism (UM) assessments in addressing food security through urban agriculture in informal settlements, particularly in lower-income countries. It addresses the challenges of food security in urban areas and aims to unravel existing urban dynamics and networks to generate agro-food resources in t...

Geomorphological and sedimentological research carried out in the vicinity of Vilnius (SW Lithuania) aimed to determine the age and stages of development of gullies in relation to climatic conditions and human activity. Two gullies located on the northern slope of the Vilnia river valley were examined in detail. The sedimentological features of the...
A través de l’experiència dels xiquets, xiquetes i joves de l’assentament informal «El Sueño de Todos» s’exposen les estratègies de resistència desplegades per la comunitat i els actors externs involucrats en la coconstrucció d’espais d’atenció i educació, com ara una escola comunitària homònima. A través d’això s’argumenta que el treball col·labor...
In this study, 2D and 3D modelling strategies are used to represent the behaviour of historical masonry buildings on strip foundations undergoing settlements. The application focuses on a two-story building, typical of the Dutch architectural heritage. An improved 2D modelling is presented: It includes the effect of the lateral walls to replicate t...

Population growth has an impact on increasing the need for land use. The availability of land for settlement development in urban areas is very limited, so that there are people who occupy land that is unsuitable. The coastal area of Semarang City is located on the northern outskirts of the city, indicating an increase in settlement areas. The char...

Ground movements induced by deep excavations may cause damages on neighboring existing buildings. Finite element simulations generally give acceptable estimates of the horizontal displacements of the retaining wall, but results are less satisfactory for the vertical displacements of the ground surface behind the structure. A possible explanation is...
Ljubljansko barje na površju gradijo sloji zelo mehkih jezerskih sedimentov, meljev in glin, pod njimi so pretežno prodni aluvialni sedimenti do predkvartarne skalne podlage, ki se lahko nahaja tudi globlje od 150 m. V slovenskem prostoru je barje iz geološkega in geotehničnega vidika posebnost, naravna znamenitost in v gradbeno tehničnem smislu ve...
