    From the results of comparison between current status and proposed integration of the case study buildings, the suggested framework can be effective in determining the site suitability for exploiting WTs, the suitable integration methods and WTs. Therefore, this framework can be a useful tool for architects to design BIWTs.
    Conclusions There is a rising demand for renewable rad51 inhibitor technologies due to escalating targets for CO2 reduction and increasing fuel costs. In addition, wind integrated technologies have expanded rapidly, and whilst well specified, well sited turbines could make very useful contributions in urban environments. Generally, many WTs types can integrate with new buildings by varied methods. Besides, there is no preferable WT or integration method in general. However, each integration method into specific building and site has the most preferable WT that makes the determination of suitable integration method and WT more complex. In this regard, this research offers a systematic framework of four stages for unifying and defining all wind variables and technologies that based on scientific first principles and step logic that led to a unifying framework for architects. This systematic framework can help architects to achieve the best BIWT designs through the determination of: (a) site suitability for exploiting WTs; (b) suitable integration method; (c) suitable WT׳s type, number, dimensions and characteristics for each selected integration method; and finally, (d) annual energy production and its share of building demand. From the case study analysis, it can be concluded that, the suggested framework can be successful in achieving the efficient integration of WTs into buildings, as it made a positive move in the energy consumption share of Strata building as well as the other three cases. This efficient integration can be achieved, providing that this process is part of the building early design phase. Furthermore, the general concluded guidelines to design BIWT for higher energy production are: For presenting the results from the proposed framework, the site and building data in addition to the preference methods are required as follows:

    Introduction This study explores the potential of integrating web-based technologies into community design processes. Community design, which used to be at the margins of the environmental design profession, has been institutionalized and mandated by law in ecologically and socially sensitive projects. Engaging communities in redeveloping and preserving culturally or ecologically significant landscapes has been recognized internationally (Déjeant-Pons, 2006). The Internet has changed the way people live, work, and socialize; thus, it has prompted new research on the effects of information and communication technologies on the civic life and social responsibilities of individuals (Hudson-Smith et al., 2005; Castells, 1996). Through thick description (Geertz, 1973), this case study sheds light on the possibilities and pitfalls connected with the integration of web-based technologies in participatory decision-making and social capital construction processes.
    Background
    Research design and method
    CDP digital platform The CDP interface was a flexible, web-based support tool that was developed to create an effective community-based redesigning of Medford’s Hawthorne Park. The web-page was organized around three components. Each component replicated the face-to-face activities from the second public meeting in digital format. CDP was advertised to the community via local news channels, email flyers sent to the listservs of the Parks and Recreation Department, and a listing in the local newspaper. CDP users could access the digital platform through the website: www.communitydesignproject.org. The home page of CDP included a table of contents (Figure 6), the goals of the project, and instructions. A web-based visitor could choose among three modes of participation.
