Visualizing GIS: Urban Form and Data Structure
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our work encompasses subjects of urban planning, urban design, urban morphology, and the link between geographical information systems (GIS) and urban visualization. Our area of research focuses on the way people conceptualize the urban environment. The visualization technique discussed in this paper is an attempt to provide users with a tool to create their own sense of urban legibility, which allows them to gain an intuitive and deep understanding of the urban model and its social, cultural, and economic relationships.

متن کاملVisualizing the Uncertainty of Urban Ontology Terms
The concept of exurban is an example of a term likely to find its way into urban development ontologies. Many such terms are uncertain since there is no consensus of the exact definition of e.g. the boundary of exurbanization. In this research we focus on visualizing the spatial implications of the uncertainty in two existing definitions of exurban boundaries using empirical GIS data in Delawar...
متن کاملModeling and visualizing urban sprawl and carbon footprints in Phoenix metropolitan area
Urban planners are dealing with problems of urban sprawl and CO2 emissions. The multidimensional character of these phenomena requires new analysis and visualization tools that are unavailable in platforms like the Geographical Information Systems (GIS). This paper, first, presents an approach for measuring and monitoring urban sprawl and carbon footprints. Second, it offers a three-dimensional...
