MODELLING LAND-USE REGULATION CONFLICTS WITH 3D COMPONENTS TO SUPPORT ISSUING A BUILDING PERMIT

Building 3D Applications with 3D Components and 3D Frameworks

Since 3D graphics applications (like entertainment, information visualization or training applications) are getting more and more complex it is necessary to improve the production process. Software engineering concepts, which were developed to build large software systems in a fast and reliable manner, offer promising solutions. In this contribution we will present an adaptation of framework an...

A generic framework for land-use modelling

In this paper we present the generic modelling system SITE (SImulation of Terrestrial Environments), a software package to develop and apply models simulating regional land-use dynamics. The modelling system includes (i) a framework managing the model generics and (ii) code templates for the development of rule-based land-use and land-cover change (LUCC) models. SITE comprises built-in methods ...

Land Use Regulation and Productivity – Land Matters Land Use Regulation and Productivity – Land Matters: Evidence from a Uk Supermarket Chain

We use unique store-specific data for a major UK supermarket chain to estimate the impact of planning, which restricts both the size and location of stores, on store output. Using the quasi-natural experiment of the variation in planning policies between England and other UK countries and a difference-in-difference approach, we isolate the impact of Town Centre First (TCF) policies. We find tha...

Land-use modelling in a transnational context

Land-use modelling to support strategic urban planning - the case of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

At the beginning of the 21st century humanity entered the 'century of cities' (Kofi Annan) with the majority of the global population living in urban areas. Global urbanisation is one of the most fundamental and most radical changes recently experienced by humanity. In the last decades new so-called megacities highlight that " the developing world, where megacities will be the hallmark of futur...
