Research on Storage and Transportation Cost Control and Technological Breakthroughs from the Perspective of Global Hydrogen Energy Development
type: item
description: As the world accelerates towards the "carbon neutrality" goal, the green transformation of the energy system has become an inevitable choice in addressing climate change. Hydrogen energy, with its unique characteristics, is regarded as the "fourth-generation energy" following coal, oil and electricity, and plays a crucial role in addressing energy and environmental challenges. Germany, Japan, China, the European Union and other countries have all elevated it to a national strategy. This article focuses on the high cost issue of hydrogen storage and transportation, clarifies the cost differences among various storage and transportation technologies (high-pressure gaseous, cryogenic liquid, magnesium-based solid-state hydrogen storage, and ammonia/methanol carrier transportation), determines the optimal applicable scenarios for each technology, and provides solutions to reduce storage and transportation costs. This study employs a technical and economic comparison analysis method. Based on the cost data of hydrogen storage and transportation technologies (such as magnesium-based hydrogen storage costs and transportation costs over different distances) and technical parameters, it comparatively analyzes the economic performance of various technologies under different transportation distances and scales. Suggestions such as giving priority to hydrogen blending in existing pipelines and developing 35MPa road transportation can effectively reduce the cost of hydrogen storage and transportation, facilitate the large-scale application of hydrogen in transportation, industry and other fields, and provide support for the integration of hydrogen into the global sustainable energy system.

Carbon emission measurement and reduction analysis of typical campus buildings using BIM and LCA
type: item
description: In the context of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, the carbon emission issue in the construction sector has become increasingly salient. Campus buildings, being vital carriers of campus activities, significantly influence the sustainable development of the entire campus via their carbon emission profiles. To comprehensively evaluate the life cycle carbon emissions of typical campus public buildings, this study utilizes Building Information Models(BIM) to gather data on material and energy consumption at all stages, namely raw material procurement, construction, operation, and demolition of campus buildings. A life cycle carbon emission model for a building at a university in Hangzhou is constructed to calculate and analyze the carbon emission characteristics and intensities of each stage. The results indicate that the building in this project has a life cycle carbon emission of 15,718.97 tCO₂e. Through building material recycling and greening measures, a carbon emission reduction of 1,311.48 tCO₂e is attained. After accounting for carbon emission reduction, the life cycle carbon emission intensity of the project building is 1,884.74 kgCO₂e/m². The carbon emissions during the operation phase account for 85.01% of the total life cycle, primarily due to the high energy consumption of the HVAC system during operation. Moreover, the carbon emissions in the production stage of construction materials account for 18.36% of the total life cycle, which is mainly associated with the quantities of steel bars and concrete required for the project construction. This research offers a reference for the low-carbon development of campus buildings and facilitates the construction industry's shift towards green and low-carbon development.

Factors affecting the seismic performance of RBS truss chord members under combined axial–bending–shear loading
type: item
description: In recent years, the outrigger truss has been widely used in super high-rise buildings. How to improve the seismic performance of the outrigger truss has become an important research front. It has been shown that the Reduced Beam Section (RBS) can perform local damage control and maximize the node guarantee. Connection performance, so in the super high-rise structure, Reduced Beam Section (RBS) truss chord can be used to improve the structural reliability, but the existing research on dog-bone joints is mostly the seismic performance of the bending-shear coupling node. There are few experimental studies on the seismic performance of dog-bone joints under compression-bending-shear coupling. In this paper, combined with the content of "structural reliability", considering the uncertainty of the structural resistance coefficient of steel structure, such as material properties, geometric parameters, calculation mode, etc., through the finite element simulation, the compression-bending-shear coupling of RBS truss chord The seismic performance under the action is studied, and the reliable index of the RBS chord string function function is solved. The research results of this paper provide reference for designers of super high-rise structures.

A Study of Influential Factors on Engineering Project Records Utilisation Behaviour Based on SEM
type: item
description: In the context of sustainable development, the efficient use of engineering project records plays an important role in giving full play to the value of engineering information, solving practical engineering problems, and optimising urban planning and governance. Aiming to address the current issues of low utilisation efficiency and unclear behavioural mechanisms, this study seeks to identify the key factors influencing the utilisation behaviour of engineering project records and their corresponding action paths. Therefore, based on the literature review, this paper combines information ecology theory to construct the "information-human-environment-technology" influencing factor model and uses structural equation modelling (SEM) to conduct empirical research. The study shows that: (1) information facilitation has the most significant impact on the use of engineering project records, highlighting the key role of digital technology in enhancing the efficiency and convenience of archive use. (2) Institutional policy, information quality, information usefulness, information literacy, and information demand all have a positive impact on the use of engineering project records. This study incorporates classical theories into the engineering information flow scenario of engineering project records utilisation, discusses its key factors and paths, and should incorporate a case study and non-linear research methods for more comprehensive research in the future.

Multi-level Tourism Spatial Structure and Its Coupling with Transportation Accessibility in Wuhan
type: item
description: The hierarchical structure and functional types of urban tourist attractions are fundamental to shaping tourism spatial organization, while public transport accessibility determines service efficiency and spatial equity. This study investigates the coupling between tourism spatial patterns and public transport accessibility in Wuhan, China, focusing on Grade A and popular unrated attractions. Using a GIS-based framework integrating origin–destination (OD) cost matrix modeling and non-parametric statistical tests, we examine spatial distribution and accessibility differences from both rating and functional perspectives. Results show that: (1) Grade A attractions are largely located in suburban areas with low accessibility, whereas popular attractions cluster in central districts with superior transit, forming a “high-grade–low-accessibility, low-grade–high-accessibility” mismatch; (2) popular attractions leverage metro and bus networks to create multiple high-accessibility cores with concentrated and stable accessibility; (3) natural attractions exhibit the weakest accessibility due to dispersed locations and limited transport connectivity, in contrast to cultural and urban leisure attractions. These findings reveal a grade-oriented planning pattern that induces transport service imbalance. A transportation-adaptive strategy is recommended to enhance suburban high-grade accessibility and improve overall system performance. Policy implications include bridging suburban transit gaps, strengthening rail and transfer connectivity for central Grade A attractions, and developing function-specific transport strategies to promote coordinated evolution of urban tourism and transport systems.

Contract Risk Management for Cultural and Tourism Projects in EPC+O Mode
type: item
description: Driven by the policy of deepening the implementation of the rural revitalisation strategy and the deep integration of culture and tourism, the EPC+O model is becoming the preferred paradigm for large-scale culture and tourism projects due to its full-cycle integration capability. However, its contract risk management still faces the multi-dimensional challenges of cultural adaptation, operational benefits, and policy compliance. In this paper, 35 risk factors are identified through an empirical study of relevant literature, and the indicators are optimised using the questionnaire survey method to form a contract risk evaluation index system that includes 4 guideline levels, 10 level 1 indicators, and 32 level 2 indicators. The weights of the evaluation indexes are calculated by the comprehensive assignment method, combining the entropy weighting method and hierarchical analysis method. The contract risk evaluation model of the general contractor for the EPC+O mode cultural tourism project is constructed by the grey fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. Taking the Hunan Shaoyang Wujiang Night Tour cultural tourism project as an example, the established contract risk evaluation index system and evaluation model are used to evaluate the contract risk of the project, and the risk control measures are proposed for the risk indicators with the most significant risk value of the project. The scientificity and applicability of the evaluation model are verified, providing tools for contract risk management of the EPC+O cultural tourism project, which has specific positive significance for the development of contract risk management.

Effects of Outdoor Informal Learning Space Typologies on Cognition and Emotional Regulation: A Multimodal Psychophysiological Analysis of College Students' Self-study Activities
type: item
description: Informal learning spaces are increasingly seen as vital for self-study, prompt-ing research on how environmental features affect learning efficiency and well-being. This randomized controlled experiment examined three outdoor settings—waterfront, woodland, and semi-open plaza—by having 81 under-graduates complete 5-minute self-study tasks in each, with simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG) and heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring. Cognitive tasks, psychological scales, and environmental preference invento-ries were used to assess changes in learning states. Results showed signifi-cant differences across environments in physiological, cognitive, and psycho-logical responses. Compared to plazas, waterfront and woodland settings produced more favorable outcomes, as indicated by EEG, HRV, attention, and emotion metrics. Cluster analysis revealed structured, synergistic rela-tionships among indicators. Findings support the value of nature-based envi-ronments, especially waterscapes and woodlands, in enhancing physiologi-cal regulation and attentional restoration, providing empirical evidence for health-oriented design of campus informal learning spaces.

Spatiotemporal Characteristics of Built Environment Impacts on Street Vitality in Central Nanchang: A Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression Approach
type: item
description: Exploring the impact of the built environment on street vitality is essential for enhancing urban public spaces. Using the central urban area of Nanchang City as a case study, multi-temporal street vitality is measured with popula-tion heat data. A multi-dimensional built environment indicator system is de-veloped based on macro-scale neighborhood composition and micro-scale street characteristics, using street view imagery, POI data, and OSM road network data. The spatiotemporal variations in the influence of built envi-ronment factors on street vitality are examined through a multiscale geo-graphically weighted regression (MGWR) model. Results reveal that: (1) Street vitality is most prominent between 10:00 and 20:00, with a spatial pattern of "eastern core, western belt, and multiple clustered points" across all time periods. (2) Macro-scale neighborhood composition generally has a stronger impact on street vitality than micro-scale street characteristics. (3) The influence of various built environment factors on street vitality exhibits significant spatiotemporal heterogeneity. Factors like sky view openness and parking lot density show robust spatiotemporal variations, while con-nectivity, facility densities, walkability, street ratio, and green view index have localized spatiotemporal effects.

Distribution Characteristics and Disaster Risks of Ancient Opera Stages in Hunan Province
type: item
description: Focusing on 219 existing ancient opera stages in Hunan Province, this study integrates GIS spatial analysis with the AHP-entropy model to exam-ine their spatial distribution and disaster risk characteristics. The findings reveal a generally discrete distribution pattern (R=1.86), with high-density clusters in southern and western Hunan. Spatial evolution follows a tempo-ral sequence, shifting from a southern concentration during the Ming and Qing dynasties to multi-directional expansion in the late Qing and Republic periods. A total of 72 stages are located in key geologic hazard zones, and 169 are threatened by floods, particularly in mountainous and low-lying ar-eas. Based on disaster risk zoning, a hierarchical protection strategy is pro-posed— emphasizing structural reinforcement and digital monitoring in high-risk areas, and drainage improvements with community participation in sec-ondary zones. The study establishes a “distribution–risk–response” frame-work, providing a scientific basis for the preventive conservation of tradi-tional opera heritage under climate change.

Research on the Reform of Architectural Acoustics Education Based on Noise Measurement and Simulation
type: item
description: This paper aims to enhance students' comprehensive practical abilities in the field of architectural acoustics through teaching reforms, especially in terms of how to effectively apply acoustic knowledge to the entire process of site planning and architectural design. In response to the disconnect between theory and practice in traditional architectural physics courses, this paper proposes the introduction of a combined experimental teaching model that integrates field noise measurement and simulation. Through this model, students can not only master the basic theories and principles of architectural acoustics but also deeply understand the impact of noise on the functional quality and environmental quality of architectural spaces through on-site noise monitoring and digital simulation technologies. The course content covers noise control and management from the early stages of building planning, design optimization, to later stages of building renovation, with a focus on the application of architectural acoustic simulation techniques in practical design. This approach not only helps students improve their practical application of architectural acoustics knowledge but also cultivates their ability to address noise issues effectively during the design process, ultimately promoting the organic integration of architectural design and environmental sustainability. The teaching reform proposal put forward in this paper seeks to enhance students' ability to solve practical problems by combining theory and experimentation and provide theoretical and technical support for acoustic optimization in future architectural designs.

Assessment and Countermeasures of the Impact of Travel Patterns on Obesity Problems of Urban Residents
type: item
description: The current diversification of residents' travel patterns suggests a potential correlation between residents' obesity issues and travel modes. In this study, we selected 93 streets in the central urban area of Wuhan and considered residents' walking, cycling, public transportation travel, and car travel as research variables. The body mass index (BMI) was utilized as an indicator of residents' obesity and overweight levels. Both Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) models were employed to statistically examine the impact of these four travel modes on residents' obesity and overweight issues. Based on the above analysis, the following conclusions were drawn: (1) In the four typical transportation travel modes of walking, cycling, public transportation travel and car travel of the residents of each street in the city, the distance of walking, cycling and public transportation travel is negatively correlated with the obesity and overweight problems of the residents, in which the distance of public transportation travel is the least obvious than walking and cycling, while the distance of car travel is positively correlated with the obesity and overweight problems of the residents. (2) The density of public transportation stations was positively correlated with residents' obesity and overweight levels. Moreover, the density of public transportation stations also influenced the relationship between travel modes and residents' obesity and overweight issues. In areas with higher coverage of public transportation stations, there was a stronger correlation between public transportation and car travel distances and residents' obesity and overweight problems. In areas with lower coverage of public transportation stations, the correlation between walking, cycling distances and residents' obesity and overweight issues was more significant. (3) There were significant differences in the distribution of obesity levels among residents in different…

Ecological spatial restoration in Gannan Prefecture based on the coupling of ecological security pattern and ecological problems
type: item
description: Ecological fragmentation, resource depletion, soil erosion and other problems have a significant impact on the ecosystem. Ecological restoration helps to maintain and enhance the service function of the ecosystem. How to fully implement territorial space restoration and maintain regional sustainable development is a key issue in the identification and construction of ecological space restoration. Taking Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture as the research object, this paper discusses the ecological spatial restoration strategy under the coupling of ecological security pattern and ecological problems. Firstly, ecological remote sensing index and morphological spatial pattern analysis were used to identify ecological sources, ecological resistance surfaces and ecological corridors, and then the ecological security pattern was constructed. At the same time, based on the concept of "mountain, water, forest, farmland, lake, grass and sand", ecological problem areas are identified by constructing ecological problem index (EPI). Then the spatial superposition coupling and regional coordination coupling are carried out between the ecological security pattern and the ecological problem region. Finally, the paper puts forward a multi-directional restoration strategy of "point-line-plane", including ecological source protection, ecological corridor construction and ecological problem area restoration, in order to promote the ecological sustainable development of Gannan Prefecture.

The Application of Digital Twin for Indoor Air Quality Management: A Case Study in Hong Kong
type: item
description: With the advocacy of the development of smart cities, buildings are also evolving to become smarter and more user-friendly. Employing cyber-physical technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Digital Twin (DT) and Building Information Modeling (BIM), can effectively monitor and control the built environment. DT is an emerging tool that connects the building to its digital replica so that the building’s situation can be monitored and presented to users effectively. This paper proposes a DT framework for building management to discover the applications of DT for indoor environment monitoring and control. A case study of a DT-driven indoor air quality (IAQ) system is completed to demonstrate the implementation of DT in the built environment. The system demonstrated the key features of DT, including monitoring, simulation, control and prediction, and showed their roles and functions in IAQ management. Finally, the difficulties and limitations, i.e. sensor selection and installation, of implementing the DT system in the built environment are presented after the case study.

type: item
description: This study explores the potential for the implementation of an advanced Intelligent Traffic Light System (ITLS) in Chinese urban landscapes, integrating Internet of Things (IoT) and digital twin technologies for sustainable urban development. Using empirical data from the Malaysia Smart Traffic Light Management (MSTLM) program, we assessed the effectiveness of the system on multiple dimensions critical to sustainability. Statistical analysis of eight cities showed significant improvements in vehicle safety programs: average travel time was reduced by 37.7%, congestion index by 38.5%, fuel consumption by 27.3%, and CO2 emissions by 18.4%. In addition, system reliability was significantly improved with 98.3% uptime and 280.5% increase in signal conditioning frequency. The study presents a comprehensive framework tailored to China's urban environment, emphasizing technical architectures, deployment strategies, and policy recommendations aligned with the SDGs. Our findings contribute to the debate on smart city infrastructure management, providing actionable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and stakeholders committed to resilient and sustainable urban growth providing an adaptable roadmap for large-scale deployment in rapidly urbanizing Chinese cities. Our findings bridge Malaysian empirical insights to China’s distinct infrastructure and governance structures.

How to Produce Cultural Space for Sustainable Development Towards Rural Revitalization: A Case Study of China
type: item
description: Cultural revitalization is a key factor in the sustainable development of the countryside and is included in the five-dimensional indicators of China's rural revitalization strategy. Although established studies have examined the spatial dimension of rural cultural revitalization, the internal structure of spatial production and the logic of action are still not entirely clear. Based on an interview survey in villages in northern Henan, China, this paper conducts a qualitative study of the structured characteristics of rural cultural spatial production and the actor logic behind it using a grounded theory research method. The results show that the production of local cultural space, socio-cultural space, mass recreational space, and cultural industries space constitute a composite structured rural cultural space. Public power, intellectual elites, residents' rights and industrial capital have demonstrated a “co-constructive” cooperative relationship This paper provides a theoretical and empirical basis for promoting rural cultural revitalization and sustainable development through the production of rural cultural space.

Shrinkage and Expansion Mechanisms of Resource-based Cities: Analysis Based on Multidimensional Typology Definition Matrix
type: item
description: The urban shrinkage phenomenon is increasingly common. However, at the same time, it is accompanied by local growth within the region, and its complex impact mechanism still lacks in-depth research. This paper takes Daqing, a resource-based city, as an example and constructs a multi-dimensional urban growth/shrinkage type definition matrix. The random forest classification model is used to quantitatively analyze the relevant factors affecting the classification matrix by comparing different models. The results show that: (1) The growth/shrinkage of Daqing City leads to a concentric structure of intensive growth—expansion growth—expansion shrinkage—intensive shrinkage that gradually changes from the center to the periphery in space. (2) The random forest classification model can better explain the cause mechanism of urban growth/shrinkage. (3) The growth/shrinkage of resource-based cities in the transformation stage is mainly affected by economic factors, such as traffic accessibility and urban morphology related to the resource economy. This study provides an evaluation framework from qualitative to quantitative, providing useful references for research and planning policy formulation in related fields.

Short-term Traffic Flow Prediction：A Method of MEA-LSTM Model Based on Chaotic Characteristics Analysis
type: item
description: To effectively improve the accuracy of short-term traffic flow prediction, an improved Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) method is proposed using the Mind Evolution Algorithm (MEA). Firstly, to address the issues of abnormal and missing traffic flow data, a Neighborhood Stacked Denoising AutoEncoder (NSDAE) is used for data repair. Then, the maximum Lyapunov exponent is used to determine the chaotic characteristics. Meanwhile, based on Bayesian estimation theory, the features of three-parameter sequences are fused in high-dimensional space using phase space reconstruction technique to obtain reconstructed multi-parameter fused traffic flow data. Finally, by taking advantage of the fact that MEA can divide the data into several subpopulations for optimal search separately, a prediction model based on MEA to improve LSTM is proposed. The results show that compared to the other two traditional data restoration methods, the NSDAE has higher accuracy, with the lowest average values of RMSE, MAE, and MAPE. Through the phase space reconstruction technique, the feature fusion of three parameters of traffic flow is realized in high-dimensional space, which makes up for the insufficiency of a single time-series data that cannot comprehensively levy the characteristics of traffic flow. The MEA-LSTM model outperforms the LSTM model in terms of prediction accuracy, computational efficiency, and generalization ability, and its RMSE, MEA, and MAPE are reduced by 24.3%, 28.9%, and 30.1%, respectively.
