A well-designed nighttime lighting environment not only enhances pedestrian comfort and urban vitality but also serves as a crucial factor in creating safe and livable urban spaces. However, existing studies on pedestrian safety at night remain relat...
(1) The project “Tatort Streetlight” implements an insect-friendly road light design in a four year before–after, control–impact (BACI) approach involving citizen scientists. It will broaden the stakeholder interests from sole...
The quality of campus environments plays an important role in the mental health of college students. However, the impact of nighttime lighting in campus settings has received limited attention. This study examines how different landscape lighting con...
As an essential component of the built environment, outdoor artificial lighting at night, has a profound impact on visitors’ experience quality. Research on the light environment extends beyond visual effects to encompass broader psychophysiolo...
Anthropic pressure is one of the main drivers of landscape change and biodiversity loss. Artificial nighttime light, which can affect species behavior, is an important human-induced threat to biodiversity, but it is often ignored in ecological connec...

Over the past decades, lighting professionals have influenced the experience of the night by brightly illuminating streets, buildings, skylines, and landscapes 24/7. When this became the accepted norm, a dual perspective on night-time was shaped and...
The technological innovation in the field of lighting and the need to reduce energy consumption connected to public lighting are leading many municipalities to undertake the renewal of public lighting systems, by replacing the existing luminaires wit...
With the transition to LED lighting technology, multispectral night-time sensors are needed to quantify the changing nightscapes, given the limitations of the panchromatic sensors. Our objective was to quantify the contribution of lighting sources as...
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is one of the most obvious hallmarks of human presence in an ecosystem. The rapidly increasing use of artificial light has fundamentally transformed nightscapes throughout most of the globe, although little is known a...
Urban lighting is a fundamental element of the built environment, enabling the perception of both living and built components of the city at night. In historic city centers, effective lighting strategies play a pivotal role in enhancing visibility, l...
Characterizing the spectral composition of artificial light at night (ALAN) within urban green spaces (UGS) is vital for ecological conservation, yet traditional sensors often lack the requisite spatial and spectral resolution for fine-scale analysis...
The scope of the present paper is to promote social, cultural and environmental sustainability in cities by establishing a conceptual framework and the relationship amongst safety in urban public space (UPS), lighting and Information and Communicatio...
This study identifies the destination attributes of sustainable urban waterfronts that are frequently mentioned in tourists’ online reviews. We analyzed the influence of these attributes on tourists’ ratings based on stimuli–organis...
One recent trend in optical remote sensing is to increase observation frequencies. However, there are still challenges on the night side when sunlight is not available. Due to their powerful capabilities in low-light sensing, nightlight satellite sen...
