Spatial pattern of urban functions in the Beijing metropolitan region
The morphology of a city affects its ecological and socioeconomic functions, and thus how a city is spatially structured has important bearings on urban sustainability. The paper analyzes the spatial pattern of Beijing in relation to its urban functions. Our results show that the 6 concentric ring-roads in Beijing provide a basic framework for the city’s overall spatial pattern, andalso give it...
متن کاملCharacteristics of lightning flashes over the Indian region
Abstract. Satellite (Lightning Imaging Sensor) based lightning flash grid (0.5 x 0.5) data over the land mass areas of the Indian region covering between 8-30N for a period of 4 years (1998-2001) have been analyzed to examine their geographical, annual, interannual and diurnal distribution. An attempt has been made to obtain IC:CG ratio. Result of this study demonstrates that there exists latit...
متن کاملSpatial heterogeneity of urban soils: the case of the Beijing metropolitan region, China
Introduction: Urban soils are large pools of carbon, nitrogen, and other elements, supporting plant growth, sustaining biogeochemical cycles, and serving as the foundation for maintaining ecosystem function and services of urban green spaces (UGS). Quantifying urban soil properties is essential for assessing urban ecosystem services and detecting pollution. Characterizing spatial heterogeneity ...
متن کاملQuantifying Changes of Villages in the Urbanizing Beijing Metropolitan Region: Integrating Remote Sensing and GIS Analysis
Rapid urbanization has resulted in great changes in rural landscapes globally. Using remote sensing data to quantify the distribution of rural settlements and their changes has received increasing attention in the past three decades, but remains a challenge. Previous studies mostly focused on the residential changes within a grid or administrative boundary, but not at the individual village lev...
متن کامل[Change trend of vegetation cover in Beijing metropolitan region before and after the 2008 Olympics].
The MODIS-NDVI data from 2000 to 2009 were used to analyze the temporal dynamics and spatial distribution of the vegetation cover in the Beijing metropolitan region before and after the 2008 Olympics. During the study period, the proportion of the significantly increased pixels of NDVI occupied 20.7% while that of the significantly decreased pixels only occupied 4.1% of the total, and the decre...
