The main purpose of this study is to present a comprehensive and novel framework in order to environmental vulnerability assessment using by spatial data a...
متن کاملModelling changes and events in dynamic spatial systems with reference to socio-economic units
The large majority of current systems for handling geospatial information are static, concentrating on a single temporal snapshot, usually the current state. Changes in the application domain are tracked in the system by performing updates and erasing information on the past. In recent years there has evolved a body of research, both in the general database community (Snodgrass 1992) and in the...

The study of risk contagion in economic networks has most often focused on the financial liquidities of institutions and assets. In practice the agents in a network affect each other through social contagion, i.e., through herd behavior and the tendency to follow leaders. We study the coupled risk between social and economic contagion and find it significantly more severe than when economic ris...
متن کاملCentrality measures and vulnerability of spatial networks
Effective management of infrastructural networks in the case of a crisis requires a prior analysis of the vulnerability of spatial networks and identification of critical locations where an interdiction would cause most damage and disruption. This paper presents a preliminary study into how a graph theoretic structural analysis could be used for this purpose. Centrality measures are combined wi...
