We discuss how the literature on sociotechnical systems and their constituent elements of engineered products and processes has evolved on the topic of sustainability, how the emerging concept of inclusive innovation bridges dimensions of environment and social inclusivity, and how inclusive wealth may inform system-level planning and analysis of sociotechnical systems moving forward.
This paper explores the role that somatic or bodily touch-based experience of ground surface textures plays in securing a commitment to health-giving exercise practices, and argues that ground-feel is a neglected and underrated dimension of how environments co-constitute health.
As there are significant differences in cell behavior when cultured in 1D, 2D, or 3D environments, we hypothesize that migrating cells are also able to sense the dimension of the environment as a guidance cue.
Unplanned and unsustainable development (particularly rapid industrialisation) has placed great pressure in every dimension of the environment (air, water, soil, health, etc).
Paragraph 3 examines the role of technology and the material dimension of built environment; in the 4th we reflect on the practices and bottom up movements which represent a form of resistance and an alternative to the dominating strategies of urban governance.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.11386.002 Time, like space, is a fundamental dimension of the environment, yet how it is processed in the brain is poorly understood.
Using a case study of Chongqing, UEQ in mountainous cities was measured in the dimensions of physical environment, built environment, and natural hazards, followed by an exploration of its spatial pattern.
Sometimes people are disabled by the physical dimensions of their environments, or products might be stigmatizing their users.
Piccoli et al. (2001) define and expand the dimensions of learning environments, which include space, place, time, technology, control and interaction.
It is at this stage that ecological planning comes at hand and attempts to embrace all the three dimensions of urban environments that culminate into sustainable development.
