利益分析视角下再开发的规划调控机制研究——从厦门“别墅改建”案例谈起

随着城市发展,厦门出现了别墅翻改建和改变使用功能的现象。别墅改建在现实的规划审批中面临困境,其根源是再开发控制细则和利益调控机制的缺失。借鉴英国经验,建议完善建筑用途转变管理细则,完善再开发的利益分配机制,增设土地开发权。     

中国大型承包商国际建设标准应用能力维度及关键指标研究

针对目前我国大型承包商在国际承包市场普遍采用国外建设标准体系,以及对国际建设标准熟知度不足的现状,旨在为我国承包商从事海外工程项目提供国际建设标准应用能力上的建议和参考,同时给缺乏海外工程经验的企业提供国际建设标准应用上的指导。通过文献研究、深度访谈的方式阐明了大型承包商国际建设标准应用能力的五大维度及其指标构成,运用问卷调查和因子分析方法提取了关键应用能力维度,研究结果表明,大型承包商国际建设标准应用能力中最重要的是知识学习能力,其次是人才保障和外部协调能力,最后是技术支持能力和组织保障能力。     

Housing performance evaluation: challenges for international knowledge exchange

ABSTRACT

Developing effective building performance evaluation and feedback processes is a vital part of global efforts to reduce building energy use and gain insight into the actual performance of buildings and technologies. Although attempts have been made to introduce internationally agreed models for these processes, it is clear that various countries are producing different approaches according to their cultural, institutional and policy differences. Knowledge exchange is potentially a key means of developing a shared understanding of values, meanings and practices in relation to building performance evaluation. This paper identifies cultural and institutional barriers in the European Union for international building performance communities of practice utilizing knowledge exchange, from an experiential ‘real-world’ perspective. The preparation of a 30-month research project to help develop building performance evaluation in Poland and an associated bilateral symposium is closely evaluated through an action research case study in terms of the stakeholders, the national contexts in which they operated and the key challenges they faced. Recommendations are then made in terms of the support needed to develop more responsive research programmes in relation to developing international knowledge exchange, and the capacity-building elements required for these international communities of practice.     

Estimation of life vulnerability inside buildings during earthquakes

A methodology is presented for assessing the expected loss of human lives due to the structural damage, failure of contents and non-structural components inside buildings during earthquakes. This approach estimates human life losses considering whether the structure collapses (partial or totally) or not. Entrapment and entrapment fatality rates are calculated using available data from worldwide literature and newspapers of 50 collapsed buildings, which information is reasonably reliable. We apply this methodology to one example of a five-floor RC frame building of typical office occupancy. Vulnerability functions are presented relating the intensity of the earthquake to the loss of human lives inside buildings, considering different times of occurrence of the earthquakes: daytime, commuting time and nighttime. Uncertainties in all parts of the process are very large, but they are formally addressed and taken into account. This methodology may improve the risk assessment for insurances purposes, optimisation of the cycle of life, mitigation strategies, risk control and tolerable risk.     

How home ventilation rates affect health: A literature review

This paper reviews studies of the relationships between ventilation rates (VRs) in homes and occupant health, primarily respiratory health. Five cross‐sectional studies, seven case‐control studies, and eight intervention studies met inclusion criteria. Nearly all studies controlled for a range of potential confounders and most intervention studies included placebo conditions. Just over half of studies reported one or more statistically significant (SS) health benefits of increased VRs. Wheeze was most clearly associated with VR. No health outcomes had SS associations with VRs in the majority of statistical tests. Most studies that reported SS health benefits from increased VRs also had additional health outcomes that did not improve with increased VRs. Overall, the number of SS improvements in health with increased VRs exceeded the anticipated chance improvements by approximately a factor of seven. The magnitude of the improvements in health outcomes with increased VRs ranged from 20% to several‐fold improvements. In summary, the available research indicates a tendency for improvements in respiratory health with increased home VRs; however, health benefits do not occur consistently and other exposure control measures should be used together with ventilation. The research did not enable identification of a threshold VR below which adverse health effects occur.

形式的理性创造——“现代造型语言：椭圆界与信息造型”中日合作教学实践评析

国际合作教学是当今建筑教育培养国际化人才、拓展多元化教学实践、建设“高水平研究型大学”的必然要求.通过对2012年重庆大学建筑城规学院一年级“椭圆界与信息造型”中日合作教学过程的回顾,指出信息造型作为形式创造的一种理性设计方法和思维方式在设计教学与实践中的必要性,着重分析其在形式的句法、表达、思维等方面的方法机制,进而探讨合作教学在衔接、反馈、导入等关键环节中的经验和问题,以期对基础造型教学的改革创新及国际合作教学交流有所裨益.     

基于多元利益主体价值观的城市规划再认识

认为我国社会对城市规划认识上的分歧导致了规划实施上的许多冲突与矛盾。其根本原因在于社会利益多元化导致的认识主体多元化的出现。加之城市规划本身的广阔的问题域以及日渐综合的研究方法使得难以对其从研究对象和研究方法两方面加以认识。基于马克思主义认识论,认为当前应该从政府、开发商、公众以及规划师的角度对城市规划工作进行全面的理解和认识,只有这样才能够建立一个和谐发展的城市规划运作体系。
