Quantifying and Analysing Neighbourhood Characteristics Supporting Urban Land-Use Modelling
Land-use modelling and spatial scenarios have gained increased attention as a means to meet the challenge of reducing uncertainty in the spatial planning and decision-making. Several organisations have developed software for land-use modelling. Many of the recent modelling efforts incorporate cellular automata (CA) to accomplish spatially explicit land-use change modelling. Spatial interaction ...
متن کاملFrom Local Actions to Global Tasks: Stigmergy and Collective Robotics
This paper presents a series of experiments where a group of mobile robots gather 81 randomly distributed objects and cluster them into one pile. Coordination of the agents’ movements is achieved through stigmergy. This principle, originally developed for the description of termite building behaviour, allows indirect communication between agents through sensing and modification of the local env...
متن کاملCivic education: approaches and efficacy
Civic education (CE) was extremely popular in the 1990s as a method for promoting democracy, especially expounded by USAID, which spent between USD 30 and 50 million per year on civic education between 1990 and 2005 (Finkel, 2011). Resultantly, much seminal work on CE is from this time period, with far fewer projects and evaluations conducted recently. Some evaluations only present anecdotal ev...
متن کاملA method to analyse neighbourhood characteristics of land use patterns
Neighbourhood interactions between land use types are often included in the spatially explicit analysis of land use change. Especially in the context of urban growth, neighbourhood interactions are often addressed both in theories for urban development and in dynamic models of (urban) land use change. Neighbourhood interactions are one of the main driving factors in a large group of land use ch...
متن کاملThe Local Colocation Patterns of Crime and Land-Use Features in Wuhan, China
Most studies of spatial colocation patterns of crime and land-use features in geographical information science and environmental criminology employ global measures, potentially obscuring spatial inhomogeneity. This study investigated the relationships of three types of crime with 22 types of land-use in Wuhan, China. First, global colocation patterns were examined. Then, local colocation patter...
