Humankind is in constant interaction with the environment. If this interaction leads to individual internalization of the environment, which is also called "appropriation" in psychology, it has a positive effect on health and wellbeing. To promote appropriation, urban architecture must respond to human needs. The PAKARA model illustrates the dynamic interaction of these needs with urban architecture, distinguishing three sectors: preventive, curative, and rehabilitative architecture. The PAKARA model was developed in 2019 at the Technical University of Munich.In addition to the model, the article explains three central needs that, influenced by urban architecture, can lead to health-promoting saturation or health-damaging over- or undersaturation: stimulation, identification, and privacy. Conclusively, it is shown that the future challenge is to expand close interdisciplinary cooperation against the background of a drastic increase in the global urban population and an associated complexity of need-oriented design. The needs of the individual - even if they contradict each other and change over the course of a lifetime - are the driving motor behind the health of an entire community. Urban architecture has the potential to keep this motor running, or, destroy it.

Optimization of parallel coiled cavities of different depths in microperforated panel sound absorbers.
Sci Rep

Key Laboratory of Urban and Architectural Heritage Conservation, Ministry of Education, School of Architecture, Southeast University, 2# Sipailou, Nanjing, 210096, China.
This paper presents a microperforated panel (MPP) sound absorber with parallel coiled-up-cavities of different-depths (PCD) and the corresponding optimization on their cavities. In this study, an analytical model is initially proposed for estimating the cavity depths of the PCD-MPP absorber upon normal incidence absorption coefficient evaluation at given resonance frequencies. Cavity effective depths and normal incidence absorption coefficient are evaluated after coiling up cavities for a compact structure.

Spatial variability of cultural landscape vulnerability and influential factors in ethnic villages of Southeast Guizhou.

In Southeast Guizhou, a region of China rich in ethnic diversity, the cultural landscapes of ethnic villages are increasingly vulnerable under the pressures of urbanization and tourism development. This study assesses the vulnerability of 43 ethnic villages in Leishan County using the Vulnerability Scoring Diagram (VSD) model, which evaluates exposure, sensitivity, and coping ability. Analyses using spatial autocorrelation and geographic weighted regression reveal distinct spatial patterns of vulnerability, with the northern region exhibiting higher vulnerability indices than the southern region.

Adaptation to climate change is a social-ecological process: it is not solely a result of natural processes or human decisions but emerges from multiple relations within social systems, within ecological systems and between them. We propose a novel analytical framework to evaluate social-ecological relations in nature-based adaptation, encompassing social (people-people), ecological (nature-nature) and social-ecological (people-nature) relations. Applying this framework to 25 case studies, we analyse the associations among these relations and identify archetypes of social-ecological adaptation.

The utilization of natural waste gravel soil as base course material contributes to environmental protection and carbon emission reduction. The purpose of this research is to establish a new model for automated gradation design of the composite soil stabilizer-stabilized waste gravel soil (CSSWGS). A gradation range of CSSWGS has been proposed.
