Quantification of land use threats to a flagship species and its meadow habitats within urban landscape by K. Krzosek, P. Nowicki

“…While the impacts of such threats have been the subject of numerous investigations, there is a lack of studies that analyse them jointly, and assess their relative importance, especially in urban and peri-urban landscapes. Based on extensive monitoring data (spanning the period 2003–2022), we evaluated negative effects of expansion of built-up areas, afforestation of meadows, and succession due to meadow abandonment on habitat availability and quality as well as local population dynamics of a flagship butterfly Phengaris alcon in an urban landscape. …”

Application of Cloud Model in Evaluation of Urban Vulnerability to Floods Based on Improved Game Theory and Combined Weight by WANG Dayang

“…The urban vulnerability to floods reflects the state of destruction and damage of human,society and economic properties in the city by floods.Taking 14 cities of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region as examples,this paper introduces the cloud model theory method into the evaluation of urban vulnerability to floods,establishes an evaluation factor system for flood vulnerability with five vulnerability levels,improves the game theory to ensure the positive value of combination coefficient based on the subjective and objective weights,and then determines the cooperative weights.The research shows that the cloud model can cope with the uncertainty in the evaluation studies well by taking into account the ambiguity and randomness of factors.In overall,cities in the middle and east Guangxi have higher vulnerability level,followed by those in the west and north Guangxi,and then those in the south Guangxi.…”

Signal Control Strategy for Supersaturated Traffic at Urban Road Intersections with a Large Technical Grade Gap by Baiqun Ding, Liu Yang, He Xu, Yongming He

“…To reduce the risk of queuing overflow on the urban minor road at the intersection under supersaturation where the capacity of the arterial and minor roads shows extreme disparity, reduce the adverse effects caused by long queues of vehicles on the minor road, and comprehensively balance the multiobjective requirements such as priority of the main road, queuing restrictions, and delay on the minor road, the minor road queue model at the end of red, a road remaining capacity model, and multiparameter coordinated signal control model were established, and a multiobjective genetic algorithm was used to optimize this solution. …”
