Workers’ satisfaction vis-à-vis environmental and socio-morphological aspects for sustainability and decent work (2022)
Journal Article
Elshater, A., Abusaada, H., Alfiky, A., El-Bardisy, N., Elmarakby, E., & Grant, S. (2022). Workers’ satisfaction vis-à-vis environmental and socio-morphological aspects for sustainability and decent work. Sustainability, 14(3), e1699. https://doi.org/10.3390/su14031699

This study examines worker satisfaction vis-à-vis outdoor places in terms of their environmental and socio-morphological aspects. Numerous studies have considered decent work as the eighth goal of sustainable development. However, it is worth investi...

Tailored methods for mapping urban heat islands in Greater Cairo Region (2021)
Journal Article
Elmarakby, E., Khalifa, M., Elsahter, A., & Afifi, S. (2021). Tailored methods for mapping urban heat islands in Greater Cairo Region. Ain Shams Engineering Journal ASEJ / Ain Shams University, 13(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.asej.2021.06.030

Globally, there is a rapid development of urban heat island (UHI) detection tools, and their results can be accepted regardless of their accuracy in measuring the real impact of the phenomenon. In this study, we investigated various UHI measuring too... Read More about Tailored methods for mapping urban heat islands in Greater Cairo Region.
