ABSTRACT (Style: Abstract Heading)
This document serves as the template and it explains how to prepare the full paper for submission to the 5th Symposium on
Applied Urban Modelling. It also includes the instruction for submission and some other relevant information. The abstract
should be a self-contained statement and provide a concise summary of the full paper, including the purpose of the study,
approach, main findings, and interpretation of their significance. Spaces should be 18 pt between title and authors, 12 pt
between authors and affiliations, 12 pt between affiliations and abstract, 6 pt underneath the heading ABSTRACT, and 12 pt
underneath the abstract. (Style: Abstract)
1. Introduction
2.1
Deadline for the submission of full papers is XXX, 2015.
Full papers should include a short introduction to the subject.
Authors, who are entirely responsible for the formatting of
their papers, should follow these instructions strictly. Authors
are also responsible for the language in their papers. Papers
and oral presentations in the conference should be written in
correct British or American English. In addition, papers
should not include any kind of commercialism.
At first, only full papers are uploaded in pdf format to ease
the review process. The final versions of full papers and onepage abstracts, which are revised and formatted on the basis
of the reviewers’ comments, should be uploaded in Microsoft
Word (doc/ docx) format. The editors are not expected to do
any reformatting to the final papers.
2. First level heading (Times New Roman 11 pt
bold, Style: Heading 1)
Start writing body text here (Times New Roman 10 pt, Style:
Body Text). Papers must be written on A4 size paper (21 ×
29.7 cm). The left, right, top and bottom margins should be
1.5 cm. The column width should be 87 mm.. The maximum
length of paper is 8 pages (including figures, tables,
references, appendices etc.).
Between the paragraphs of body text and after each heading
there should be a space of 6 pt. Space before each level
heading should be 12 pt. The maximum number of heading
levels is limited to three.
Align text to the left. Use single line spacing. Do not indent
the first line of paragraphs. Use justification (text aligned to
both sides), but do not use hyphenation and do not change the
font. If you need to emphasize parts of the text, use italic
style (neither underlining nor bold). Do not add page
numbers or headers and footers. They will be added later.
Second level heading (Times New Roman 10 pt
bold, Style: Heading 2)
Start writing body text here.

Third level heading (Times New Roman 10 pt italic,
Style: Heading 3)
Start writing body text here.
2.1.2
Figures and tables
Figures and tables should be numbered consecutively. Add
figure number and caption below each figure, and table
number and caption above each table. Figure and table
captions should be aligned to the left and the font should be
Times New Roman 10 pt (Styles: Figure Caption/ Table
Caption).
Figures and tables should be aligned to the left and fit within
the column width of 87 mm. Spacing between body text and a
figure, a table, or their caption should be 9 pt and between
caption and table or figure 3 pt. In tables should be used
Times New Roman 9 pt, and in text, which is inside/ inserted
on figures Arial 9 pt. Single figures or tables should not be
embedded to body text.
Figures in the full paper can be coloured and should be clear.
The resolution should be 150 × 150 dpi for photographs and
300 × 300 dpi for drawings, which are inserted as pictures.
In tables, explanations should be given at the foot of the
table, not within the table itself. Footnotes should be set
directly underneath the table, using reference marks such as
*, **, etc. Align all headings to the left of their column and
start these headings with an initial capital. Use only
horizontal lines as table borders, like presented in Table 1.

3. Conclusions
Summarise the main observations and research results. Try
also to present concrete advices for researchers in the fields,
on how they can take into account and apply your results.
Acknowledgements (Times New Roman 11 pt bold,
Style: Acknowledgements Heading)
Start writing acknowledgments here (Times New Roman 10
pt, 10 pt line spacing, Style: Acknowledgments). It is
appropriate to acknowledge the study participants for their
time and contribution. Acknowledgments should be kept
short and those should focus solely on the parties of the
project. These can be for example financiers, researchers,
study committees and so on.
References (Times New Roman 11 pt bold, Style:
References Heading)
References in text are indicated using the name-year
(Harvard) system, expressing writer(s) name and/ or
publishing year in parentheses as follows:
…according to the presented theory (Jin, 2012)…

2.1.3
Units
All measuring units should be expressed according to the SI
system.
2.1.4
Equations
Use the equation editor for writing equations (may be found
in Insert menu, Object dialog box in most MS Word
programs). Equations should not be indented and “Formula”
style (10 pt) should be used. Number the equations
consecutively and place the number with the tab key at the
end of the line, between parentheses. Refer to equations by
these numbers. See for example Eq. (1) below:
Fourier’s law for heat transfer is defined as follows:
q  T
(1)
where q is the heat flux (W/m2),  is the thermal conductivity
(W/mK), and T is the temperature (K).
2.1.5
Lists
In lists, bullets are indented by 0.25 cm and text by 0.75 cm
from the left margin. As bullets are recommended to use solid
spheres as follows:
 text (Style: Bulleted List)
 text
 text
Lists may also be numbered as follows:
1. text (Style: Numbered List)
2. text
3. text
2.1.6
Footnotes and endnotes
Footnotes and endnotes should not be used.
…Jin (2012) has stated that according to the presented
theory…
The order of fields in the reference list is: authors, year,
(paper title,) publication title, (volume number, publication
editors, publisher, town and country of the publisher,) page
area/ total pages. Do not list any reference, which is not
referred to in your text. References should be listed in
alphabetic order as follows using the Reference List style
