The drift of desire: performing gay masculinities through leisure, mobility, and non-urban space,

of the pretty efficient methods of passive cooling for urban spaces and buildings. Differences in temperature between the urban space and the non-urban space which surrounds, is dubbed UHI (Urban Heat Island) effect. Water bodies have also been proven to be influential methods of decreasing urban temperatures

thinkers who wish to comprehend the contours of contemporary societies. As Sheller and Urry (2000) argue, this is a particularly curious state of affairs, in part because automobile technolo-gies have been profoundly involved throughout the 20th century in shaping and reshaping urban and non-urban spaces

ABSTRACT The research purpose here is to have a clearer understanding of the issue of parent-child separation in space in the U.S. from various perspectives. Major fmdings are (1) white population tends to live farther away from their parents than nonwhite population, (2) those who are socially

Abstract This article examines graffiti as the illicit strategy of contemporary urban space formation and presents the non-conventional cityscape perception of the graffiti subculture members. The findings of the study based on detailed interviews with graffiti writers from Vilnius, the capital

, in substance show an internal role, but wide capacities of destruction of urban textures and non – adaptation of people behavior in urban spaces show Modernism in Iran have an external role in changing of urban spaces.

WayMaker" is a tool enabling non-professionals to create digital layouts for large-scale graphical virtual environments. The design tool is based on "elements of the city image" as described by the urban planner, Kevin Lynch (1960). Ultimately, WayMaker should be situated within a

the morphological view of an urban structure. So far the application of space syntax principles to the study of urban structures has been a partially empirical and non-deterministic task, mainly due to the fact that an urban structure is modeled as a set of axial lines whose derivation is a non-computable process

This paper synthesises a series of empirical analyses investigating the role of urban space in affecting minority employment outcomes. It broadens the focus beyond transport and the ’friction of space ’ and expands the data available for spatial research. The empirical analyses share a common

The encoding of cities into non-planar dual graphs reveals their complex structure. We investigate the statistics of the typical space syntax measures for the five different compact urban patterns. Universal statistical behavior of space syntax measures uncovers the universality of the city
