Conflict of rights in high-rise underground space development: Comprehensive analysis of legal regulation and biomechanical impact
Abstract
Aiming at the conflict of rights in the development of underground space of high-rise buildings, this paper puts forward a comprehensive analysis framework combining the influence of legal norms and biomechanics. Starting from biomechanics, this paper specifically discusses the rights disputes in three aspects of underground space land transfer fee, the ownership of underground civil air defense project and the ownership of community underground garage, and introduces a biomechanical evaluation model supported by GIS platform to ensure the safety and stability of the project. When considering the underground space land transfer fee, the stability and load-bearing capacity of the soil, which can be analyzed through biomechanical principles, directly affect the feasibility and cost of construction. Just as the skeletal structure of an organism provides the foundation for its movement and survival, the underground geological structure dictates the safety and economic viability of building projects. In the discussion of the ownership of underground civil air defense projects, biomechanical models can be employed to evaluate the potential impact of disasters. By simulating how the structure withstands external forces like earthquakes or explosions, similar to how a creature's body adapts to survive in harsh environments, we can better determine the responsibilities and rights of different parties. Regarding the community underground garage, the layout and design need to conform to human biomechanics. Adequate space for vehicle entry, exit, and pedestrian movement, considering factors such as comfortable walking angles and clear sightlines, ensures convenience and safety, much like how organisms' habitats are optimized for their daily activities. The study found that the municipal government has issued policies to clarify the specific content and scope of underground space use rights, established a unified approval process to strengthen supervision, and promoted the application of biomechanical evaluation models, thereby improving project quality and reducing potential risks. The experimental results show that this comprehensive management strategy effectively alleviates the conflict of rights, promotes the smooth progress of the project, and provides institutional guarantee and technical support for the sustainable development of the city. This paper not only solves the current right conflict problem, but also provides valuable experience for the rational use of urban underground space resources and the maximization of social benefits in the future.
