Abstract: This study aims to determine the layout and form of construction of supporting facilities for small, medium and large types of homes based on the local wisdom of the Bugis who are environmentally friendly. The locations of the study are three districts, namely: Bone, Soppeng, and Wajo, by choosing 300 households as respondents. Research variables are supporting facilities, in the form of: (1) septictank, (2) sewerage and dirty water, (3) temporary landfills, and (4) open space, small, medium-sized residential houses, and big. Data collection by questionnaire, and data analysis techniques are qualitative descriptive analysis. The results showed that, the layout and form of construction of supporting facilities for small, medium, and large residential types based on local wisdom of the Bugis Tribe, which were environmentally sound were: (1) the location of the septictank was located in the front yard, the shape of a rectangular construction from brick or reinforced concrete construction equipped with impregnation tank, (2) the location of sewerage and rainwater, in the yard of the side leading to the drainage, the form of open channel construction of masonry, (3) the location of garbage disposal while temporary landfills, in the front yard, the rectangular shape of a brick or concrete construction, and (4) the location of open space, located in the front yard of the house and the side, natural in shape and bounded by masonry.

Abstract: The 1992 advent of the Serviceability Limit State (SLS) was for the purpose of eliminating structural and non-structural damage to buildings subjected to small or moderate SLS Earthquakes (EQs). However, moderate direct structural damage and large indirect losses occurred to many medium-rise concrete-framed buildings as a result of small or moderate EQ ground motions in Christchurch CBD 2010 and in Wellington CBD 2013 and 2016. This is shown to be because of SLS flaws in the New Zealand (NZ) building code, (compared with international codes.) Theses flaws explain most of this unexpected damage. It is important to note that if the SLS flaw was not present in the building code and an Sp factor of 1.0 had been used in the design then a more robust building would have resulted and some of the damaged blamed on incompetent engineering may not have occurred. A cost-benefit study is performed here to measure the benefits of correcting the SLS building code flaw. This is important because the Reserve Bank calculates there is now a 30% increase in New Zealand’s projected annualised average loss due to earthquakes. This vulnerability is mostly due to the SLS flaws in the building code, but is also due to deficiencies in engineering building design.

Abstract: In recent years, China has vigorously promoted the theory of Sponge City to deal with the increasingly serious water problem in urban. As a classification of Sponge City, the theory and practice of Sponge Campus have a huge exemplary effect. In order to facilitate the research, firstly, the paper analyzes the main situation of campus construction in China, points out its shortcomings in the use of rainwater resources, which also reflects the necessity and long-term significance of the Sponge Campus construction in China. In order to further promote the practice and theoretical research of the Sponge Campus in China, this paper analyzes the technology and strategy in the construction and landscape design of several Sponge Campuses at home and abroad, and discusses the planning and design methods of the Sponge Campus. These reference cases not only include the new Sponge Campus projects, but also the sponge transformation of traditional buildings, which has rich reference value. On the basis of cases study and combined with the concrete practices of the Sponge Campus construction, this paper puts forward some design principles of sponge campus construction, expecting the further development of relevant theories, so as to promote the construction of sponge campus for ecological development in China.

Abstract: The concept of adaptability was originated from the “theory of evolution” of biology. Based on the concept of adaptability, there are some literature achievements in the relevant research of historical blocks in China, which are worth summarizing and carding certain existing literature. The adaptability evaluation of historical block is a method for evaluating the integrating degree between the existing environmental condition and the current production and living demand, used for comprehending the actual condition of objective environment. The research on adaptive renewal strategy of historical blocks often uses field research to summarize the renewal optimization strategy for specific regions, specific block types and specific building functions. Therefore, this paper summarizes and classifies the development direction of adaptability evaluation and protection and renewal strategies of historical blocks, summarizes the conventional research methods and steps, in order to help the future research related to the adaptability of historical blocks. The paper is composed of four parts, the first part introduces the concept of adaptability; the second part focuses on figuring out systematically the development direction of adaptability evaluation of historical block, and summarizing the research procedures and research methods of historical block’s adaptability evaluation；the third part focuses on summarizing and classifying the adaptability protection renewal strategy of historical block and introducing the common research methods; the last part describes the author's thoughts and suggestions.
