Rather than relying on a normative “green city” ideal, the thesis examines data-driven and performance-oriented approaches. It connects the ECOLOPES project’s urban classification for multi-species building design with a conceptual “ecological urbanistic analysis” framework. Using grounded theory and a review of theories and machine-learning methods, it evaluates potentials and trade-offs for implementing EUA via classification algorithms across spatial and temporal scales.","Diplomarbeit  \n(Diploma Thesis)  \nEcological Urbanistic Analysis and its possible Implementation through Machine Learning  \nA Conceptual Framework for the Integration of Eco-Complexity into Analytical Tasks in Multi-Species Urban Design with Potentials and Challenges for its Implementation through Machine Learning Classification  \nausgeführt zum Zwecke der Erlangung des akademischen Grades Diplom-Ingenieur / Diplom-Ingenieurin an der TU-Wien, Fakultät für Architektur und Raumplanung  \nsubmitted in satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Diplom-Ingenieur / Diplom-Ingenieurin at the TU Wien, Faculty of Architecture and Planning  \nvon  \nAlexander Authried, BSc  \n00626359  \nBetreuer: Univ.Prof. Arch.

This affects human life as well as other species and threatens the goals of sustainable development. While most attempts in architecture and urban design to cope with the challenges imposed on cities are rather following a normative ideal of the ’green city’, recent approaches are aiming at incorporating ecological knowledge through performance-oriented and data-driven design methods. The ’ECOLOPES’ project is developing a recommendation system for multi-species building design in urban contexts. Within this project, urban classification is determined to identify potential project sites with similar urban and ecological conditions. Such classifications are a crucial analytical foundation to purposefully develop ecologically sophisticated design proposals. Although urban classification has been a research topic with many applications, a conceptual approach to develop classifications as analytical method, addressing the complex behaviour of ecological systems, has not yet been undertaken. Machine learning provides a set of tools which are promising to engage in new ways with big data and its underlying patterns, but research in the context of ecological urban design is sparse. As machine learning studies are characteristically experimental and case-based, and theoretical foundations for interdisciplinary application are still lacking, this thesis sets out to conceptualize ’ecological urbanistic analysis’ (EUA) as a framework for analysing complex ecological urban systems at multiple spatio-temporal scales and further assess the potentials and challenges to facilitate the implementation of EUA in urban design through machine learning methods. This thesis is methodically based on grounded theory and uses elements of literature reviews to support the comprehensibility of the results. The main part is a two-step synthesis: 1) a transect of theories of biodiversity, ecological systems and spatial analysis as a conceptual framework for EUA in the context of multi-species urbanism, which incorporates different dimensions of eco-complexity, and 2) an assessment of current machine learning methods and algorithms in the context of urban ecology with a short review of case studies. This thesis concludes that machine learning offers a novel and interesting approach to analysing complex ecological systems within urban areas, where different algorithms are suited fordifferent aspects of eco-complexity. However, there are also important trade-offs and challenges that come with machine learning as computational method. Although up to date only few studies at small scales, addressing issues of urban ecology and biodiversity, have been conducted, there is a lot of potential for future research, and ultimately a chance to mainstream ecological knowledge into urban design and architecture, to support long-term sustainable urban development.  \nKeywords: urban analysis; urban ecol","cbCais0t5ZoTuWhr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais0t5ZoTuWhr","pdf",4410922,1,199,"English","en",105,"# Abstract\n## Urbanization, sustainable development, and the need for data-driven ecology\n## ECOLOPES project and urban classification for multi-species design\n## Ecological urbanistic analysis (EUA) framework for complex systems\n## Methodology: grounded theory and literature review synthesis\n## Synthesis step 1: transect of theories for EUA\n## Synthesis step 2: review of machine learning methods in urban ecology\n## Findings: potentials, challenges, and trade-offs of machine learning implementation","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the thesis address regarding urbanization and sustainability?\",\"answer\":\"Urbanization creates pressure on natural environments, affecting humans and other species and undermining sustainable development goals.
