    According to Framework Directive 96/62/EC, preliminary assessment as a tool for Air Quality Monitoring Network Design in a Chinese city I. Allegrini1, C. Paternò1, M. Biscotto1, W. Hong2, F. Liu2, Z. Yin2 & F. Costabile1 1Institute for Atmospheric Pollution, Italian National Research Council, Rome, Italy 2Environmental Monitoring Centre, Suzhou, P.R. China Abstract In the framework of the Sino-Italian Program in which the Italian Ministry of Environment and Territory is participating, an Air Quality Monitoring System in the City of Suzhou (China) was implemented by the Institute for Atmospheric Pollution of the Italian National Research Council (CNR-IIA). As stated in Framework Directive 96/62/EC, preliminary assessment of air quality is a very important step in the identification of sites for fixed monitoring stations. To that end, 100 saturation stations, equipped with passive samplers for sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ozone, ammonia and BTX (benzene, toluene and xylene), were set up. The concentration values of these pollutants, coming from three campaigns carried out in Suzhou, were represented and explored by using the Arcview 8.2 software with Geostatistical Analyst and Spatial Analyst extensions. The interpolation was carried out using the two most important interpolation models (Inverse Distance Weighting and Ordinary Kriging). With reference to each campaign, pollution maps related to each interpolation model and to each pollutant were produced. Finally, a map with the definitive siting of the fixed monitoring stations was produced. Keywords: air quality monitoring system, preliminary assessment, pollutant distribution maps, passive samplers. Air Pollution XII, C. A.

L4S 0E9 Email: [email protected] Citation: Zhang D, 2019, Jiaanbieyuan New Courtyard-Garden Housing in Suzhou: Residents’ Experiences of the Redevelopment. Journal of Chinese Architecture and Urbanism, 1(1): 526. http://dx.doi.org/10.26689/jcau.v1i1.526 ABSTRACT Cultural vitality as the fourth pillar of sustainable development has been widely acknowledged, and vernacular architecture as a major part of a nation’s material culture has entered the cultural sustainability dialogue. This recognition demands that new housing design and development should honor a local or regional identity. This in-depth case study assesses the architectural, environmental, spatial, constructional, social, cultural, and behavioral aspects of the Jiaanbieyuan (“Excellent Peace Courtyard-Garden Housing Estate”) built in Suzhou, China, in 1998. The 500-unit Jiaanbieyuan is located close to two UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites, the Canglang (“Surging Waves”) Pavilion and the Master-of- Nets Garden. It has attempted to recreate Suzhou’s traditional architecture and landscape architecture. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected through numerous research methods, including onsite surveys and interviews. The findings show the new housing forms do not promote social relations as effectively as the traditional housing of the past. Moreover, the communal Central Garden has functioned to some extent as a social and cultural activity space.
