Abstract

Parks play an important role in improving people's quality of life, especially amidst rapid urbanization. This research aims to explore how differences in park design and management affect people's use and perceptions in both countries. The approaches used in this research are qualitative and quantitative. Data were collected through literature review, field observations, and interviews with relevant parties, such as park managers and visitors. The findings show that parks in Pakistan have great cultural significance, often used for social gatherings and recreation, with examples of historical parks such as Shalimar. On the other hand, gardens in the UK offer a diverse range of styles and functions, from formal gardens to natural landscapes, serving as an educational resource for botanical lovers. This analysis provides insights into the unique characteristics of parks in both countries and provides recommendations for park planning and management in Pakistan, taking into account best practices from the UK.

Abstract

Air pollution has become one of the most pressing environmental challenges affecting public health, urban ecosystems, and climate stability. Vegetation plays a crucial role in mitigating air pollution through various biophysical and biochemical processes, yet its effectiveness depends on multiple contextual factors. This literature survey aims to analyze and synthesize existing research on the role of vegetation in improving air quality, focusing on the mechanisms involved and the determinants that influence its performance across different environments. The study employs a systematic literature review approach, drawing from peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, and government reports published in the last two decades. The analysis highlights key mechanisms such as pollutant absorption through leaf surfaces, particulate matter deposition, and microclimate regulation that contribute to air purification. The findings also reveal that vegetation effectiveness is shaped by species characteristics, plant density, urban morphology, climatic conditions, and maintenance practices. The study concludes that strategic vegetation planning can significantly reduce urban air pollutants and enhance environmental health. These insights hold important implications for urban planners, environmental policymakers, and public health authorities in designing green infrastructure and sustainable urban landscapes. Further empirical research is recommended to quantify vegetation’s differential impact under varying ecological and socio-economic settings.

Abstract

Apartment buildings are multi-unit buildings designed for residential purposes, where each unit or apartment is a stand-alone residential unit. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the variables that influence residents' satisfaction with their living environment (which can include the neighborhood, type of residence, and social influences). The research method used is a qualitative method with descriptive data analysis techniques to identify trends and patterns of view preferences, sourced from participants' assessments/opinions of views from various apartment buildings. Many professionals, including scientists, medical experts, planners, biologists, and architects, have begun to explore the relationship between elements of the physical environment and the human experience along with urbanization and population growth. As a result, issues such as overcrowding, housing satisfaction, lack of sunlight, shared restrooms, and other issues have become the subject of scientific study.
