Abstract This study investigated the potential of integrating windcatchers into Egyptian social housing buildings to enhance natural ventilation and improve indoor thermal comfort, thereby reducing energy consumption used to enhance airflow inside residential spaces of residential communities, which is considered an important aspect of sustainable urban development that aims to counteract climate change.

ABSTRACT Securing the resilience of coastal tourism destinations (CTDs) to climate change is becoming increasingly indispensable, particularly in arid countries. Nevertheless, relatively little research has been conducted to examine how resilient CTDs are to climatic fluctuations. Thus, this study aims to address this gap by assessing how CC-resilient CTDs are. The RCTDs framework was developed to evaluate CTDs’ resilience to CC.
