This book introduces the UTCI (Universal Thermal Climate Index) and summarizes progress in this area. The UTCI was developed as part of the European COST Action Program and first announced to the scientific community in 2009. Since then, a decade has followed of applicability tests and research results, as well as knowledge gained from applying the UTCI in human adaptation and thermal perception. These findings are of interest to researchers in the interdisciplinary areas of biometeorology, climatology and urban planning. The book summarizes this progress, discussing the limitations found and provides pointers to future developments. It also discusses UTCI applications in the areas of human biometeorology and urban planning including possibilities of using UTCI and similar indices in climate-responsive urban planning. The book’s message is illustrated with many case studies from the real world.Chapter 10 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

This book is a compilation of diverse, yet homogenic, research papers that discuss current advances in Earth Observation and Geospatial Information Technologies to tackle new horizons concerning the digitization and information management in smart cities’ infrastructures. The book also tackles the challenges faced by urban planners by the new mega-cities and proposes a series of solutions to resolve complex urban issues. It suggests enhancing the integration of disciplines, thus, bringing together architects, urban planners, civil engineers, landscape designers and computer scientists to address the problems that our cities are facing. This book is a culmination of selected research papers from IEREK’s fourth edition of the International Conference on Future Smart Cities (FSC) and the fourth edition of the International Conference on Resilient and Responsible Architecture and Urbanism (RRAU) held online in collaboration with the XMUM, Selangor, Malaysia (2021).

This book aims to provide a comprehensive and multidisciplinary exploration of the crucial role of these disciplines in fostering sustainable practices and effective resource management strategies. Also, it aspires to be a valuable resource for researchers, professionals, and students interested in addressing the pressing global challenges related to resource utilization, environmental protection, and societal well-being. In an era characterized by population growth, rapid urbanization, and environmental degradation, the responsible and efficient management of Earth’s resources has become paramount. Geosciences, encompassing fields such as geology, hydrology, and geomorphology, offer fundamental insights into Earth’s processes, structures, and materials. Geotechnical engineering, on the other hand, focuses on the engineering behavior of geological materials and the design of structures and infrastructures in response to Earth’s conditions. This book recognizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach that integrates geosciences and geotechnical engineering to achieve sustainable resource management. It emphasizes the important role of these disciplines in identifying, assessing, and utilizing various resources, including minerals, water, energy, and land. Geoscientific investigations enable the exploration and characterization of mineral deposits, groundwater resources, and potential sites for renewable energy projects. Geotechnical engineering, in turn, provides critical insights into the behavior and stability of soil and rock masses, allowing for the design of safe and sustainable infrastructure for resource extraction and utilization. Furthermore, sustainable resource management requires a strong focus on environmental protection and the mitigation of natural hazards. Geosciences contribute to the understanding of geological processes and landforms, facilitating the assessment of environmental impacts associated with resource extraction and the development of mitigative measures. Geotechnical engineering expertise is crucial in designing engineered solutions for waste management, land reclamation, and environmental remediation.
