Abstract In view of the increasing system management requirements garden landscapes in construction smart cities, this paper combines ordinary differential equations with big data and other information technologies. Design ideas city display under equation. By analyzing research literature, combined space syntax, network text analysis methods, theoretical framework urban landscape planning meth...

It has been recognized that urban residential segregation is a scale-dependent phenomenon, and yet all existing structural or spatial indices measure only certain dimensions of segregation at one single scale. Inspired by new metrics developed by landscape ecologists to measure landscape heterogeneity, in this paper we explore the feasiblity of a multiscale, lacunarity-based segregation measure...

The use of information technology (IT) in organizations has undergone dramatic changes the past 30 years. As a result, it has become increasingly common to adopt a services rather than a traditional systems perspective to more accurately capture contemporary practices. There is, however, a lack of theories that can help us understand, assess, and design information services in organizational co...

The continuously improving spatial resolution of remote sensing sensors sets new demand for applications utilizing this information. The need for the more efficient extraction of information from high resolution RS imagery and the seamless integration of this information into Geographic Information System (GIS) databases is driving geo-information theory and methodology into new territory. As t...

In this paper we reject the nature-culture dichotomy by means of the idea of affordance or possibility for action, which has important implications for landscape theory. Our hypothesis is that, just as the idea of affordance can serve to overcome the subjective-objective dichotomy, the ideas of landscape and ecological niche, properly defined, would allow us to also transcend the nature-culture...
