Abstract
The global problem with drinking water supply has increased considerably in recent decades, mainly due to accelerated population growth and unsustainable use of non-renewable resources. Ciudad Juarez, located on the northern border between Mexico and the United States, has not been excluded from this problem. Its desert characteristics and low rainfall accentuate the need for a change in water management. This paper presents water-sensitive urban design measures to help combat climate change and water scarcity problems in Ciudad Juarez.

The advancing use of modern technology in nursing care, especially the development of technical assistance systems through robotics, digitization and Artificial Intelligence (Al), can open up new opportunities for those affected. At the same time, however, the use of these technologies also carries risks for this group of people, especially for their fundamental right to informational self-determination, due to the extensive processing of personal data. This article describes the risks for data subjects and explains the current legal framework regarding the protection of personal data in the European Union. The authors conclude, that applying data protection and data security to technical assistance systems, robots and Al from the beginning not only leads to legally compliant practices but also strengthens the trust of users and society as a whole in the use of these systems. The use of Al-based systems raises further (legal} questions that go beyond data protection and data security. The authors first address the various definitions of the term „Artificial Intelligence” in the academic literature. They then describe the European Union’s various regulatory approaches to the use of Al starting with the European Commission's “Strategy for Artificial Intelligence” published in 2018, followed by the “Al White Paper” published in 2020 and ending with the European Commission’s proposal for a Regulation laying down harmonized Rules on Artificial Intelligence- Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA) published in April 2021. Here, in particular, aspects of „scope“, „transparency” and „impact on the healthcare sector” will be examined in more detail and the still necessary need for legal policy discussion will be highlighted.

Abstract
At the intersection of issues of water scarcity and rapid urbanisation is the need to investigate sustainable urban water management practices in today’s cities. This is especially important with the undeniable impact of climate change adding to its complexity. Johannesburg is a prime example of a city facing a myriad of challenges regarding water and is therefore the focus of the thesis. This research focuses on how the city of Johannesburg can pave its way into becoming a Water Sensitive City (WSC)- an aspirational vision of a city that integrates sustainable urban water management practices. To discover this, case study research on Johannesburg is undertaken by exploring the challenges and opportunities in relation to water demand and supply in the city. A few challenges include pollution of water and issues relating to the dependency on surface water. Additionally, an Urban Water Mass Balance (UWMB) analysis was undertaken to explore the potential of alternative water service options in a city that relies predominantly on surface water. It was found that rainwater harvesting had the highest potential to replace the existing centralized system. Based on the results of the case study research and the UWMB analysis a program was proposed to assist Johannesburg’s transition into a WSC. The proposal includes proactive recommendations relating to public participation and the protection of the environment.
Abstract English
Urban area tessellation is a crucial aspect in many spatial analyses. While regular tessellation methods, like square-grid or hexagon-grid, are suitable for addressing pure geometry problems, they cannot take the unique characteristics of different subareas into account. Irregular tessellation methods allow the border between the subareas to be defined more realistically based on the urban features like road network or POI data. This paper studies and compares five different tessellation methods: Squares, hexagons, adaptive squares, Voronoi diagrams, and city blocks. We explain how (open-source) POI data can be integrated into the tessellation process to build what we call “Local Geo-graphic Units” (POI-based tiles). These units are flexible and adaptable to the structure of the studied area and underlying data and could improve the performance of further analyses. The results of the various tessellation methods are demonstrated for the city of Frankfurt am Main in Germany. A simple clustering of Local Geographic Units for the studied city indicates that city blocks perform better than the other methods in the city segmentation in terms of reflecting the structure of this city.
Abstract Deutsch
Die Tessellierungen urbaner Gebiete ist ein entscheidender Aspekt bei räumlichen Analysen. Regelmäßige Tessellierungen, wie die Unterteilung in Quadrate oder Hexagons, eignen sich zwar für Probleme rein geometrischer Natur, berücksichtigen aber die Charakteristika der enthaltenen kleineren geographischen Einheiten nicht. Unregelmäßige Tessellierungen ermöglichen eine realitätsnahe Unterteilung basierend auf städtischen Merkmalen, wie dem Straßennetz oder POI-Daten. In diesem Beitrag werden fünf verschiedene Tessellierungsmethoden vorgestellt und verglichen: Quadrate, Hexagons, adaptive Quadrate, Voronoi-Diagramme und City-Blocks. Die Integration von (Open-Source) POI-Daten in den Tessellierungsprozess führt zu sogenannten „Lokalen Geographischen Einheiten“. Diese POI-basierten Einheiten sind flexibel und passen sich sowohl der Struktur des zu untersuchenden Gebiets, als auch der zugrundeliegenden Daten an und erlaube dadurch darauf aufbauende, detailliertere Analysen. Alle vorgestellten Tessellierungsmethoden werden an dem Beispiel Frankfurt am Main durchgeführt und präsentiert. Ein einfaches „Clustering“ der Lokalen Geographischen Einheiten zeigt, dass City-Blocks die Struktur der Stadt besser abbilden können, als die anderen vorgestellten Methoden.
Emotional spaces
(2021)
Taking into account that architects have a pronounced influence on humans’ lives, it is their responsibility to design and build livable environments. For this, there is another crucial dimension that shapes the individual understanding of space in a way that has not yet been taken into account. This paper looks at living environments and their meaning for individual life and well-being. It introduces a theoretical background that sets its focus on buildings and exterior spaces and presents a different point of view. Here the theory of Emotional Spaces is introduced, referring to a connection between space and feelings and considering that it is not enough to plan buildings and open spaces merely with architectural qualities in mind. This paper presents a different understanding of space and proposes a new approach to the design process. It is based on a design concept that places people and all their needs in the center. In order to be able to design and plan architectural spaces according to the needs of human beings, it seems necessary to understand the individual, everyday life. The challenge is to understand the individual life story, which should then be put into a spatial context. From these insights, Emotional Spaces that are relevant for „good and successful” living can become visible.

Abstract
Digital media today enables people to connect easily with each other,
no matter where they may be in the world. It is also a means of
connecting with the world, particulary in contemporary urban
environments. However, given the relentless and rather stressful
nature of modern city life, digital media has often been perceived as
a distraction, or as something that ‘displaces’ people, thus preventing
the formation of fulfilling or more enriching connections with places.
Thus, this thesis is an investigation into the potential of existing and
emergent digital media in enabling a sense of place in an urban
environment. This is achieved via a comprehensive review of
literature pertaining to human experience of space and place,
characterizing the role of technology and digital media as a mediator
of human-world/environment relations, identification of relevant
examples of media that can aid this process, followed by the
contextualization of the study and the formulation of digital
strategies that will enable the creation of a sense of place in the
selected context. It was determined that the creation of an integrated
digital platform will allow users to gain a sense of place by combining
the potential of social, locative, and interactive media, which further
creates a foundation for place awareness through exploration and
experience, place attachment through participation and inclusion, as
well as place memory - which in essence is a sense of place. In
conclusion, it was determined that digital media can indeed aid the
creation of sense of place in an urban environment.
