The world’s marine resources face multiple stresses from both human activities and natural environmental perturbations. As pressures on marine resources continue to increase, it has become evident that data required to make informed management decisions, bounded by policy aspects, are either lacking or not easily accessed (Battista and Monaco 2004). Information technologies provide a suite of c...

Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis methods are introduced, concerning the quality of spatial data as well as that of output information from Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) integrated applications for transportation. In the methods, an error model and an error propagation method form a basis for formulating characterization and propagation of uncertaint...

This paper describes multiple criteria models that can be used to assess land condition in general, and military training areas in particular. Three measures of land condition are used, namely: 1) erosion status, which is estimated based on the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), 2) percent vegetative cover, and 3) range condition. In addition, the paper also describes site-specific t...

This paper discusses the design of formal theories of geographic space for the application in Geographic Information Systems. GIS software is an implementation of formal theories of geographic space. The notions of formal theories are introduced and discussed in the context of examples from the GIS ®eld. Our approach is an application of the general framework of formal theories to the special c...

The rise in electric vehicle uptake has reshaped the German mobility landscape at unprecedented speed and scale. While public charging is pivotal to growing market, municipalities can play a crucial role accelerating energy transition transport. This research aims assist planning their strategic rollouts of infrastructure size location. In first step, demand estimated based on four development ...

Geographic information science (GIS) and multicriteria decision analysis (MCDA) disciplines combine to provide valuable insights which guide decision-makers evaluating complex spatial criteria and alternatives, especially when there are conflicting stakeholder values and objectives. Although GIS and MCDA methods have been integrated to support forward-looking decision analyses, there is also ad...

This thesis presents methods, techniques and tools for developing three-dimensional representations of tactical intelligence assessments. Techniques from GIScience are combined with crime mapping methods. The range of methods applied in this study provides spatiotemporal GIS analysis as well as 3D geovisualisation and GIS programming. The work presents methods to enhance digital three-dimension...
