Interdisciplinary Programs Office Division of Environment and Sustainability 224 Visualization of Tree Failure in Super Typhoon Mangkhut Supervisor: LU Zhongming / ENVR Student: RATTANAMANEEJARAT Thananun / EVMT Course: UROP1100, Fall After the damage done from Hong Kong’s most intense Typhoon in its history, tens of thousands of trees experienced tree failure, falling and causing damage to properties and people. Therefore, the visualization of tree failure data using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) such as ArcGIS can be a tool for research into the various reasons and factors that can contribute to making tree failure more or less likely. A tangential exploration of the various ways that ArcGIS can be used to portray data is also shown, along with some literature research into Sky View Factor (SVF), which is a property of urban landscapes that can affect wind speeds and climatological conditions at a local level. Visualization of Tree Failure in Super Typhoon Mangkhut Supervisor: LU Zhongming / ENVR Student: WONG Mei Yu / EVMT Course: UROP1100, Fall The project tries to measure the tree failure risk in Hong Kong built-up area using a sample of tree failure during super typhoon Mangkhut. ArcGIS is selected as the geographical information system software used for modelling to visualize the tree fall situation because of Mangkhut. After considering the related factors on tree falling, the impact of the geology of Hong Kong is chosen as the focus of this study. Through analysis of the relationship between tree falling and geographical features, it is hoped to provide insight into the management of urban trees and to increase the resilience of Hong Kong under extreme weather events. Affordable, Sustainable Fashion!? Supervisor: SAUERWEIN Meike / ENVR Co-supervisor: MATUS Kira / ENVR SINGH Renu / PPOL Student: SUTEDJA Amrita Saraswati / ACCT Course: UROP2100, Fall UROP3100, Spring This study aims to analyze pandemic effects on fashion consumption attitude and behavior as part of a ninecountry/region study, and the “Affordable, Sustainable Fashion!?” UROP project is in charge of the Hong Kong survey distribution and analysis. Based on this survey, we found several trends and areas for further investigation which prompted us to conduct a second survey, broadening the scope to the whole Hong Kong society and collaborating with Redress, an environmental NGO in Hong Kong, to quantify fashion waste flows in Hong Kong. We aim to look into the sustainable fashion intention-behavior gap as well as end-of-life options of fashion items to get a better understanding of the sustainable fashion scene in Hong Kong. Both the second survey and Redress collaboration are currently underway, and we are confident that upon completion, the results can enrich the literature around the sustainable fashion field, especially in Hong Kong and Asia.
