A Parametric Workflow for Early-Stage Climate-Responsive Design

Đoàn Hoàng Tường Vy

Addressing the late and fragmented use of building simulations in current practice, this study proposes an integrated parametric workflow across three spatial scales (micro-urban, building, and detail) that embeds climate and energy optimization directly into the early conceptual stage through a five-step iterative process. The research establishes a standardized, data-driven framework and pedagogical model that bridges education with professional practice, directly supporting UN Sustainable Development Goals for climate-resilient architecture.

Delineating an integrated ecological–cultural corridor network in Hue, Vietnam: a spatial decision support system (SDSS) approach

Nguyễn Viết Quốc Hùng

This study develops an integrated ecological–cultural corridor network for Hue using remote sensing, GIS modelling, and expert evaluation. Ecological cores, cultural heritage sites, and optimal connecting corridors were identified through RSEI, MSPA, AHP, and least-cost path analysis. The resulting network, particularly along the Huong River and around the Imperial Citadel, supports biodiversity, cultural preservation, recreation, and tourism. The framework offers a replicable spatial planning model for sustainable and climate-resilient heritage cities.

Mâu thuẫn nhận thức và hành vi của sinh viên tại cơ sở Võ Thị Sáu, Đại học Kinh tế TP.HCM trong việc phân loại rác và sử dụng nhựa dùng một lần

Nguyễn Phan Hải Yến · Đinh Thy Thơ · Hoàng Lê Minh Tú

This study examines the gap between awareness and behaviour among students at the Vo Thi Sau Campus of the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City regarding waste sorting and single-use plastics. It identifies the factors contributing to this gap and proposes solutions to promote more sustainable practices on campus.

Nghiên cứu ảnh hưởng của hình thái đô thị đến khả năng thông gió tự nhiên tại TP. Hồ Chí Minh và đề xuất giải pháp thích ứng khí hậu

Trần Quỳnh Chi

This study evaluates the impact of five typical urban morphological patterns on natural ventilation and microclimates at the block scale in Ho Chi Minh City. The findings provide a scientific framework for climate-responsive passive design and urban planning strategies, significantly reducing cooling energy demands and carbon emissions.

Nghiên cứu tính thích ứng khí hậu của cửa sổ trong nhà ống tại TP.HCM

Ngụy Khánh Phương · Đoàn Hoàng Tường Vy · Trần Quỳnh Chi · Ngô An Phú · Võ Văn Hoàng

This study evaluates the impact of window design parameters, including orientation, size, glazing materials, and shading—on thermal comfort, daylighting, and energy efficiency in Ho Chi Minh City's shophouses. Combining field surveys with environmental performance simulations, the research proposes optimized window design strategies to enhance indoor microclimates and significantly reduce mechanical cooling demands.

Nhận thức của sinh viên UEH thuộc thế hệ gen Z về sức khỏe tinh thần: khả năng tự nhận diện, hiểu biết và nhu cầu hỗ trợ

Phan Thiên Kim · Lê Hồng Trang · Nguyễn Viết Quốc Hùng

This study assesses mental health literacy, self-identification of psychological problems, and help-seeking intentions among Generation Z students at UEH using the MHLS, SELF-I, and GHSQ scales. The findings show relatively good mental health knowledge but limited self-identification, persistent stigma, and low use of professional services. The study recommends improving mental health literacy, reducing stigma, and developing university counselling services tailored to Generation Z.

SML_Mối liên hệ giữa tâm lý lo lắng sinh thái (eco-anxiety) và hành vi sử dụng phương tiện giao thông xanh của sinh viên đại học Kinh Tế TP.HCM

Nguyễn Trần Thiên Nhi · Nguyễn Ngọc Băng Châu · La Ngọc Xuân Nghi · Đặng Chí Vĩ

This study examines the relationship between eco-anxiety and green mobility behaviour among students at the University of Economics Ho Chi Minh City (UEH). Data were collected through a quantitative survey focusing on eco-anxiety and the use of sustainable travel modes, including walking, cycling, buses, and personal vehicles powered by green energy. The results indicate that two dimensions of eco-anxiety—motivation for environmental action and emotional responses—significantly influence students’ green mobility behaviour. The study provides empirical evidence of the relationship between eco-anxiety and sustainable travel behaviour.

Place Branding Strategy for the Park Area along the Saigon River, Thu Duc City: An Innovative Approach within the New Urban Economy and City Marketing Context

Nguyễn Viết Quốc Hùng

This study employs a multidimensional approach, integrating insights from city branding theories, marketing strategies, stakeholder engagement, and sustainable urban development. Key branding elements such as brand identity, positioning, communication strategies, and digital engagement are analyzed to develop a comprehensive branding framework tailored to the unique characteristics of Saigon Riverside Park. Through case study analysis, empirical data, and strategic recommendations, this research provides a model for branding urban green spaces that aligns with economic, environmental, and cultural objectives.
