Design of Visualizations for Urban Modeling

Procedural Modeling as an Analytical Tool for 3D Survey in Urban Design Assessment

This paper examines procedural modeling as a tool for 3D modeling creation. Procedural modeling historically has been used for 3D visualization of natural features, but with the release of the software CityEngine in 2008, the technology can easily be adopted also in problem domains dealing with urban environments. Then, we will examine and compare two types of modeling, traditional and proc...

Design and Implementation of Integrated System for Urban Land Use Change Modeling

According to urban environment complexity and dynamism and need to targeted land use change, incorporation GIS and PSS in the form of Spatial Planning Support Systems is inevitable. The aim of this study is to develop a spatial planning support system for urban land uses change (ULCMS), such that planners can enter expert knowledge in the form of desired criteria and weights and see their influ...

Crime Prevention in Urban Design: towards Space Syntax Approach as a Quantitative Analytic Modeling of Qualitative Issue of Security (Based on Spatial Configuration)

Uciv 4 Planning: a User-centered Approach for the Design of Interactive Visualizations to Support Urban and Regional Planning

Decision making in the context of urban and regional planning requires communication among different stakeholders. This communication process has several barriers because of domain differences, the different nature and types of data, lack of integrated analysis tools, deficiencies in the interaction with data, and information overload. To overcome these difficulties, interactive visualizations ...

COMPUTER VISUALIZATIONS IN PLANNING Computer Techniques for Visualization of Development Scenarios for Historically Important Landscapes and Urban Spaces: The Case of Nablus R. HASSAN AND K. JORGENSEN Department of Landscape Architecture and Spatial Planning

A wide range of visualizations have been developed and implemented as tools for urban simulations and visual impact assessment. These include: plans, diagrams, elevations, perspective sketches, renderings, modified photographs (photo renderings and photomontages), slide projections, scale models, movies, videotapes and computer graphics. In the last decade, graphical computer applications have ...
