Abstract

The trend of housing quality has become more intricate and has expanded to encompass all aspects of habitat. There are several significant challenges related to improving housing, both socially and in terms of economic and environmental considerations. Discussing the quality of new production methods requires an analysis based on various traditional criteria, using convenient indicators such as cleanliness, stability, safety, comfort, durability, flexibility, and aesthetic appeal. The principal aim of this study is to provide an objective assessment of the quality of Participative Subsidized Housing (LPA) in the municipality of EL-Khroube in Algeria. The methodology employed integrates a field survey and a resident questionnaire to appraise the comfort level offered by this housing type as well as the level of resident satisfaction. The results of the on-site observation indicated that the living environment does not offer an adequate level of comfort. This finding was corroborated by the questionnaire results, which revealed a prevailing sentiment of dissatisfaction among residents. This dissatisfaction can be attributed to issues pertaining to interior comfort and a dearth of local infrastructure and facilities. The results of this study will assist housing stakeholders in enhancing this mode of production through a collaborative and participatory approach.

Abstract

As urbanization continues to shape the world's landscape, concerns have intensified over environmental degradation and depletion of natural resources. Accordingly, international agendas emphasize managing urban sprawl for inclusive, resilient, and sustainable cities. On this basis, this study consists of exploring the nexus of urbanization and advanced technologies following a methodological approach based on a bibliometric analysis using the Dimensions Database to analyse research related to urban sprawl and LULC Changes from 1994 to the recent years; and a systematic review to synthesize existing literature on different methodologies integrating GeoAI technologies and LULC Analytics in the process of monitoring landscape, which optimizes Urban Planning and empowers predictive modelling to monitor environmental changes, therefore, promoting intelligent decision-making and inclusive growth via enabling the creation of targeted policies that address socio-economic disparities, environmental sustainability and infrastructure enhancement. By improving comprehension of scientific concepts, this article aims to fill the knowledge gap between urban studies and remote sensing using machine learning.

Abstract

Current patterns of urban expansion are mostly considered as impulsive, leading to numerous negative consequences for our biosphere. This disturbing fact has not gone unnoticed in the sprawling oasis cities of the Algerian Sahara, where palm groves are the primary victim. Furthermore, any approach taken to preserve oasis ecosystems requires considering ecological variables. In this perspective, the present study seeks to highlight the spatial growth process of the Laghouat oasis in southern Algeria, during the period 1986 - 2019. The methodology employed is based on the supervised classification of four Landsat satellite images to initiate a cartographic analysis and a landscape quantification of the land use evolution. The analysis is focused on two LUC classes: built-up areas and palm groves. The results of the cartographic analysis highlighted two completely opposite spatiotemporal trends: a significant growth of built-up areas, against a considerable decline in palm groves. The monitoring of the landscape metrics also revealed two different behaviours: growth by densification and elongation of the urban fabric, versus progressive morcellation and fragmentation of the palm groves. These findings pointed to the negative impact of uncontrolled extensions on both the palm groves and the overall oasis ecosystem. This research highlighted the importance of landscape metrics in assessing various forms of spatial urban growth and may support urban planners in choosing the optimal solutions for oasis sustainability.
