An analysis of the spatial evolution and influencing factors of rural settlements along the Shandong section of the Grand Canal of China (2021)
Journal Article
Huo, X., Xu, X., Tang, Y., & Zhang, Z. (2021). An analysis of the spatial evolution and influencing factors of rural settlements along the Shandong section of the Grand Canal of China. River Research and Applications, 39(7), 1283-1299. https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.3874

Since 1980s, the weakening of the transportation function of the Grand Canal and rapid urbanisation have generated significant changes in the spatial pattern of rural settlements along the Grand Canal. Analysing the changing characteristics of this s...

A target-driven decision-making multi-layered approach for optimal building retrofits via agglomerative hierarchical clustering: A case study in China (2021)
Journal Article
Hong, Y., Ezeh, C., Zhao, H., Deng, W., Hong, S.-H., & Tang, Y. (2021). A target-driven decision-making multi-layered approach for optimal building retrofits via agglomerative hierarchical clustering: A case study in China.

The optimization of energy, environmental and economic (3E) outcomes is the principal approach to identifying retrofit solutions for a sustainable built environment. By applying this approach and defining a set performance target, this study proposes...
