Evolution of Edges and Porosity of Urban Blue Spaces: A Case Study of Gdańsk
PublicationCurrent waterfront studies focus mainly on a land-based perspective, failing to include the water side. Water is, however, not just a resource for port and industrial purposes and an edge to the waterfront; it is also a feature of the waterfront and the complex relation between water and city. Thus, the article suggests that water-land edges need to be re-contextualised, taking into consideration also their shape, functionality,...

Landscape as a Potential Key Concept in Urban Environmental Planning: The Case of Poland
PublicationRapid urban development increases the consumption of materials, energy, and water, resulting in an overproduction of waste and emissions. These cause many environmental threats, such as ozone layer depletion and rain acidification, leading to climate change. Therefore, the question arises on how to improve the effectiveness of tools that strengthen environmental protection. This discursive article presents an approach stressing...

Informal Settlements and International Migrants: The city of Rome (Italy) as Case Study
PublicationToday, urbanization is happening at an unprecedentedly rapid rate, owing heavily to the influx of migrants. Empirical evidence shows the development of informal settlements in cities as a result of migration, including Rome. Furthermore, information on informal settlements is either insufficient or inadequate, which makes it challenging for architects, urban planners, and policymakers to form viable solutions to deal with the situations...

Evolutionary Sets of Cooperating Trajectories in Multi-Ship Encounter Situations - use cases
PublicationPrzedstawiono tu zalety nowego, proponowanego przez autora podejścia do sytuacji spotkań wielu statków na morzu. Podejście to polega na zastąpieniu ewolucyjnej trajektorii własnej ewolucyjnym zbiorem trajektorii wszystkich obiektów. Umożliwia to predykcję manewrowania obiektów obcych przy jednoczesnym zachowaniu efektywności algorytmów ewolucyjnych. Zaprezentowano kilka sytuacji nawigacyjnych należących do różnych kategorii spotkań...
