3D models in urban planning
The ways of evaluation of landscape scene are solving so long as long is known the history of landscape character. The landscape underlies continual amounts of changes that are reflected in the landscape physiognomy and its aesthetical quality. Landscape character is documented at various types of image materials (current and historic). The paper d...
According the World Health Organisation, environmental health has basis in the life quality of individuals. It is considered as an individual perception of human position in life, in the context of culture and social values, which create individual ´s life. Life quality depends on individual´s relationships to its own aims, expected values and inte...
Characteristic sign of landscape research is interdisciplinarity. Its direct implication is collecting of data, which were obtained from the monitoring of landscape components and elements. It is necessary to systematically classify and also summarise all these data and keep the information and knowledge, which result from them, for each hierarchic...

ARCH is a European-funded research project that aims to better preserve areas of cultural heritage from hazards and risks. The ARCH team with the cities of Bratislava, Camerino, Hamburg and Valencia will co-create tools that will help cities save cultural heritage from the effects of climate change.
The impacts of climate change are global in scope and unprecedented in scale. Cities will face frequent extreme events in future and the risk to cultural heritage and historic urban centres from climate change will also increase.
ARCH will develop a disaster risk management framework for assessing and improving the resilience of historic areas to climate change and natural hazards. Tools and methodologies will be designed for local authorities and practitioners, the urban population, and national and international expert communities. The project will present various models, methods, tools and datasets to support decision-making.ARCH‘s expert interdisciplinary team includes four European municipalities; Bratislava, Camerino, Hamburg, and Valencia; research scientists, city network ICLEI and standardisation organisation DIN.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement N°820999.
