• Abstract: Emergency shelters, which reflect the city's ability to respond to and deal with major public emergencies to a certain extent, are essential to a modern urban emergency management system. This paper is based on spatial analysis methods, using Analytic Hierarchy Process to analyze the suitability of the 28 emergency shelters in Wuhan City. The Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution is further used to evaluate the accommodation capacity of emergency shelters in central urban areas, which provides a reference for the optimization of existing shelters and the site selection of new shelters, and provides a basis for improving the service capacity of shelters. The results show that the overall situation of emergency shelters in Wuhan is good, with 96\% of the places reaching the medium level or above, but the suitability level needs to be further improved, especially the effectiveness and accessibility. Among the seven central urban areas in Wuhan, Hongshan District has the strongest accommodation capacity while Jianghan District has the weakest, with noticeable differences.

  This study applies Scenario Discovery in urban planning to evaluate the effectiveness of urban vegetation interventions in stress reduction. We identify key intervention thresholds where vegetation-based solutions succeed or fail in mitigating stress responses. Our findings reveal that while increased vegetation generally correlates with lower stress levels, high-density urban environments, crowding, and individual psychological traits can reduce its effectiveness.

  Urban Physical Disorder negatively impacts safety, well-being, and psychological state of communities. Urban Renewal is the process of revitalizing neglected and decayed areas within a city to improve the physical environment and quality of life for residents. Current research lacks simulation tools that can quantitatively assess and visualize the impacts of renewal efforts. This paper presents a novel framework using human perception feedback to simulate street environment enhancement.

  We propose and analyze a decision support tool for pre-crisis training exercises for teams preparing for civilian evacuations. We use different classes of Markov decision processes (MDPs) to capture compounding levels of uncertainty. We show that accounting for the compounding levels of model uncertainty incurs added complexity without improvement in policy performance.

  We analyse the accessibility to public transport in terms of the spatial coverage of the transport nodes (stops) and the quality of service at these nodes across different areas. We find that the commercial areas in the CBD area expectedly have excellent accessibility and the residential areas also have good to very good accessibility. While the spatial coverage of stops in these areas is very good, the quality of service indicates substantial variation among different regions.
