    Visions for Sustainability, 2025
    Resilient and inclusive city design has become essential for a sustainable future for urban areas in ecologically sensitive zones in the face of rapidly increasing urbanization and development. This paper explores the multifaceted dimensions of resilient and inclusive urban planning, focusing on its significance amidst urban expansion and socio-economic disparities affecting the corresponding ecologically sensitive areas. Drawing upon interdisciplinary literature and case studies, the paper examines the theoretical underpinnings and practical applications of resilience and inclusivity within urban planning frameworks. The ability of cities to endure and rebound from a variety of shocks and strains, such as natural disasters, the effects of climate change, and socioeconomic upheavals, is referred to as resilience. In contrast, inclusivity emphasizes the equitable distribution of resources, opportunities, and decision- making power among diverse urban populations, including marginalized groups and vulnerable communities. This study clarifies the relationship between resilience and inclusivity in the planning of urban areas by synthesizing theoretical discourse and actual evidence. It highlights the importance of integrating eco-sensitive approaches, adaptive strategies, and participatory mechanisms to foster resilience and inclusiveness in urban development processes. Furthermore, the paper underscores the role of governance structures, policy frameworks, and stakeholder engagement mechanisms in promoting resilient and inclusive urban environments. By critically examining the challenges, opportunities, and best practices associated with resilient and inclusive city planning, this paper contributes to advancing knowledge and informing policy discourse toward fostering sustainable and equitable urban development pathways.
  • Prioritizing fire risk factors in historic urban cores of India: an analytic hierarchy process approach
    Shipra Goswami, Rushikesh Kolte, Ashwani Kumar, Satish Pipralia
    International Journal of Disaster Resilience in the Built Environment, 2025
    Purpose This study aims to present a comprehensive examination of fire risk components in the historic core areas of Indian cities through the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) lens. Urban fire incidents pose significant threats to public safety and infrastructure, necessitating a systematic evaluation of key risk factors. Design/methodology/approach This study presents a comprehensive examination of fire risk components in the historic core areas of Indian cities through the AHP lens. Urban fire incidents pose significant threats to public safety and infrastructure, necessitating a systematic evaluation of key risk factors. Leveraging the AHP methodology, this research identifies and prioritizes critical criteria, including area-level vulnerabilities, socio-economic vulnerabilities, building-level capacities, emergency service capacities and historical fire incidents along with other crucial components. The hierarchical structure facilitates a nuanced analysis, allowing for comparing criteria and alternatives to derive precise priority weights. Findings The findings provide a strategic understanding of the factors contributing to fire risk in the historic urban cores, offering valuable insights for urban planners, emergency service personnel and policymakers. The study emphasizes strategic prioritization through the AHP framework. This study contributes to the broader discourse on urban resilience by offering a robust methodology for assessing and managing fire risks in the dynamic urban landscape of Indian cities. Originality/value This study contributes to the broader discourse on urban resilience by offering a robust methodology for assessing and managing fire risks in the dynamic urban landscape of Indian cities.

    Potency of the Vernacular Settlements Recent Scholarships in Vernacular Studies, 2024
    The state of Nagaland, in the hilly North-Eastern region of India, is home to several indigenous tribal settlements. These indigenous tribes are well known for their unique settlement pattern and building design with locally available materials and indigenous construction techniques. The vernacular architecture of the state also reflects its diverse culture and traditions, as well as the close relationship between the people and the land. There is great variation in the vernacular architecture of the city, ranging from the compact windowless wood and thatch huts in the cold mountains to the stilted bamboo huts in the warmer hillsides. The traditional architecture of Nagaland has been closely related to its context and is aware of the specific geographic features and cultural aspects of its surroundings, being strongly influenced by them. The sustainability aspect of these vernacular practices and techniques cannot be ignored as they cause minimal damage to the environment and are highly responsive to their surroundings. Despite this, the newer development over the last decades has deviated from the traditional style of architecture to keep up with the high demands of urbanization. Over time, climate changes, socioeconomic conditions, globalization, and availability of materials have caused a transformation in the vernacular architecture of Nagaland, subsequently, impacting the physical forms, spatial planning and, in the case of construction techniques, materials, and aesthetics, of the buildings. These visible transformations are a reflection of new emerging technologies, transforming economies and social structures, and need to be acknowledged. It is, therefore, the intent of this paper to study the transformations of vernacular architecture in the state of Nagaland and the influencing factors shaping these transformations. The paper presents various case studies of 69 vernacular architecture in different areas of the state, encompassing settlements in different climatic conditions and geographical contexts in order to understand the stages of transformation and various reasons that have led to them.
  • Exploring the Application of Ecosystems Approach to Urban Planning: A Systematic Literature Review
    Anjali Saraswat, Satish Pipralia, Ashwani Kumar
    International Review for Spatial Planning and Sustainable Development, 2024
    The current patterns of urbanization across the globe are characterized by rapid growth and development scenarios, often resulting in deteriorated urban environments. With the growing urban population, the pressure on infrastructure and services is elevated, resulting in stress on natural systems and poor health and well-being of citizens. In response to these challenges, the researchers are exploring approaches for urban planning leading to sustainable urban futures. The ecosystem's approach to urban planning was once such a concept, creating cities with high-quality urban life by managing the dynamics between social, economic, and environmental systems. Thus, a systematic literature review of 105 research papers using the PRISMA methodology to identify the most pertinent themes for applying the ecosystems approach in urban planning is conducted. In addition, a bibliometric analysis from 2007 to 2021 is performed using a VOS viewer to analyse the literature trends graphically. The articles were identified from the Scopus database, and the annual research publications trends, contributing countries, and the collaboration of keywords were retrieved. The review identifies three key themes: ecosystem services, socio-ecological systems, and biodiversity, forming the basis for applying the ecosystems approach in urban planning to strengthen sustainable city development.
