Animated Representation of Uncertainty and Fuzziness in Dutch Spatial Planning Maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper concentrates on developing methods to effectively visualize uncertainty and fuzziness in animated representations by various combinations of graphic and dynamic visualization variables, and selecting or developing a method by which the usability of uncertainty and fuzziness displays in spatial planning maps can be evaluated. As a case study, provincial level spatial planning data of Noord-Brabant, the Netherlands were used. A conceptual framework for animated representation of uncertainty and fuzziness in Dutch spatial planning maps was proposed. Subsequently, the animated representations were designed and implemented in a prototype. For the usability study, the prototype was evaluated in a focus group session and a task and questionnaire session. The results show that animated representations can be recommended to make spatial planners better aware of uncertainty and fuzziness in Dutch spatial planning maps than by using current visualizations. * Corresponding author.

Modeling spatial distribution of Tehran air pollutants using geostatistical methods incorporate uncertainty maps
The estimation of pollution fields, especially in densely populated areas, is an important application in the field of environmental science due to the significant effects of air pollution on public health. In this paper, we investigate the spatial distribution of three air pollutants in Tehran’s atmosphere: carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and atmospheric particulate matters less ...
متن کاملPixel and Colour Mixture: Gis Techniques for Visualisation of Fuzziness and Uncertainty of Natural Resource Inventories
Natural resource inventories are more and more based on quantitative spatial methods. The discrete classes of vegetation, soil, land cover etc. can be quantified by using membership maps rather than only crisp delineations. GIS methods to visually explore fuzziness and uncertainty of the prediction maps are clearly needed. The paper presents two relatively new techniques for visualisation of mu...
متن کاملFuzzy Sets Approach to Spatial Analysis and Planning - a Nontechnical Evaluation
Uncertainty in spatial analysis and planning has conventionally been treated as a consequence of random occurrence of exact spatial events. The present paper, however, argues that fuzziness is actually a major contributory factor to most of the uncertain spatial behavior. Exactitude in representing, analyzing, and predicting human behaviors over space and time is difficult if not impossible to ...
متن کاملA New Model Considering Uncertainties for Power Market
Medium-term modeling of electricity market has essential role in generation expansion planning. On the other hand, uncertainties strongly affect modeling and consequently, strategic analysis of generation firms in the medium term. Therefore, models considering these uncertainties are highly required. Among uncertain variables considered in the medium term generation planning, demand and hyd...
