Habitat suitability index (HSI) models provide spatially explicit information on the capacity of a given habitat to support a species of interest, 2 and their prevalence has increased dramatically in recent years. Despite caution that the reliability of HSIs must be validated using independent, 4 quantitative data, most HSIs intended to inform terrestrial and marine species management remain un...

To enhance local water security, the Singapore government promotes two water conservation policies: the use of eco-friendly toilets to reduce yellow water (YW) disposal and the installation of water efficient devices to minimize gray water (GW) discharge. The proposed water conservation policies have different impacts on the environmental performance of local wastewater management. The main pur...

This research examines the changing relationships between economic space and geographic space over the past thirty years as a result of the global dispersion of production and the expansion of transnational corporations, a process commonly referred to as “globalization”. We study a hypothesized de-coupling of economic and geographic space by examining the growth of transnational interlocking co...

The daily rainfall is the most important and demanded input of water resources studies, challenged by typically low density and/or poor quality in-situ observations. However, satellite earth observation, through freely available web-based products, can provide complementary data. Such data however, affected substantial error, particularly at temporal resolution. Therefore, effective methods pro...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate spatial sampling and statistical aspects landscape-level wildfire rate spread (ROS) estimates derived from airborne thermal infrared imagery (ATIR). Wildfire progression maps ROS repetitive ATIR image sequences collected during the 2017 Thomas Detwiler events in California. Three separate landscape unit (LSU) sizes used extract remotely sensed envir...

In this paper we explore relationships between bird species richness and environmental factors in New York State, focusing particularly on how spatial scale, autocorrelation and nonstationarity affect these relationships. We used spatial statistics, Getis-Ord Gi*(d), to investigate how spatial scale affects the measurement of richness “hot-spots” and “cold-spots” (clusters of high and low speci...

Poverty is a multidimensional problem faced by all countries in the world. inability of individual or group to meet their basic needs terms expenditure. In poverty problem, there tendency that poor will locations with certain characteristics. This spatial clustering indicates diversity making global regression analysis inappropriate for application. Therefore, purpose this research model percen...

Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is an epidemic infectious in China. Its incidence affected by a variety of natural environmental socioeconomic factors, its transmission has strong seasonal spatial heterogeneity. To quantify the relationship between HFMD (I-HFMD) eight potential risk factors (temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind speed, air pressure, altitude, child population density,...
