Uncontrolled property speculation permitted many characteristic, substantial village settlements to spread into the surrounding areas with very little architectural or land-use planning.
Thus, it is essential to obtain profound knowledge and appropriate data regarding the thermal characteristics of settlement areas, on the basis of which the bioclimatic situation is assessed.
Different regional characteristics, e.g., settlement structures, require different energy strategies, which result in optimal solutions which also differ within the regions and implies that a cooperation on a regional scale is indispensable [2].
The lack of research based on incorporation of landscape studies, water dynamics, paleoenvironment characteristics, and settlement location patterns has hindered our knowledge on the decision making of the late Neolithic population when choosing where to settle.
Based on field data of some typical sections along the Chai Mu Railway (simply called CMR) with obvious shady sunny slopes, which is located on the Qinghai Tibet Plateau, the ground temperature characteristics and settlement deformation properties of the embankment have been analyzed.
The characteristics of settlement areas, population demographics, and typical overcrowding of urban poverty may also contribute to different impacts of rainfall from higher economic population.
Angular distortion has been documented as the most influential settlement characteristic in the cracking of buildings.
The linked table displays figures of settlement characteristic, radiological resources and socioeconomic factors in the counties (see Additional file 1).
The short-term effects of moisture addition were assessed by investigating compaction characteristics and moisture distribution and the long-term effects by estimating settlement characteristics of the variably placed wastes.
Our results support the contention that the ability of alternative biomass feedstocks to support fall bird communities is linked to habitat characteristics at several spatial scales and that habitat characteristics favoring the settlement of specialist species differed from those favoring species richness, per se.
Their origin is not known; they are called Ghassulians because the pottery and flints characteristic of their settlements first attracted attention in the excavations of Tulaylāt al-Ghassūl in the Jordan Valley.
