Urban environmental management: monitoring, GIS, and modeling
نویسنده
چکیده
Urban environmental management must integrate the spatial, structural features of a city, typically captured in GIS, and the dynamics of environmental quality indicators that can be obtained by monitoring. To provide decision relevant information supporting planning and management, these components are integrated in models for scenario analysis and optimisation tasks. The paper describes some results from an environmental Telematics project (ECOSIM) and two Esprit projects (HITERM, SIMTRAP), as well as a EUREKA EUROENVIRON project (AIDAIR), and applications in cities such as Vienna, Berlin, Geneva, Basel, Milano, Athens, Gdansk, and Izmir. Strategies for the integration of monitoring, GIS, and modeling are presented, that use a common client-server architecture, an object oriented design, embedded expert systems technology, and a multi-media user interface to support easy access, and easy use of complex analytical tools for urban environmental management.

Environmental Modelling in Urban Areas with GIS
More accurate spatio-temporal predictions of urban environment are needed as a basis for assessing exposures as a part of environmental studies, and to inform urban protection policy and management. This paper is focused on modelling in the GIS to estimate air, water and soil pollution in urban areas. The basic environmental components are complemented by bio-monitoring, waste management and no...
متن کاملModeling urban growth effects on surface runoff with the integration of remote sensing and GIS.
A methodology is developed to relate urban growth studies to distributed hydrological modeling using an integrated approach of remote sensing and GIS. This linkage is possible because both studies share land-use and land-cover data. Landsat Thematic Mapper data are utilized to detect urban land-cover changes. GIS analyses are then conducted to examine the changing spatial patterns of urban grow...
متن کاملMapping of Environmental Pollution in Urban Areas with Gis
Environmental pollution in urban areas has resulted in the design of monitoring and decision-making systems. These systems are supported by the information systems that can manage spatial dynamics of pollution processes. Due to a wide range of data, which are necessary for modeling of spatio-temporal phenomena, new methods of data collection and management have to be created. This paper describ...
