Abstract There are various methods that had been implemented by many researchers in the previous studies regarding to monitoring of landslides. At present, is it possible predict location potential landslide occurrence. However, there limitations and constraints being consequently better necessary improve Most discussed cannot be areas inaccessible dangerous taking as example steep slopes nearb...

In this paper, an outlier detection method based on radial basis functions–principal component analysis (RBF-PCA) approach and Prescott method, a statistical detection approach, is proposed to detect the outlier in the complex system without clear mechanisms. Making full use of the capacity of neural networks on nonlinear mapping and the effect of Prescott method on outlier detection in linear ...

Our objective in this paper is to argue for a new use of geographic information systemsö GIS in local planning as an auxiliary tool for decisionmaking. We review the use of the GIS technique in earlier research studies and represent the empirical findings from using GIS in a quality-of-life study in conjunction with an urban renewal project of a residential area in Stockholm County, Sweden. Spe...

We use a GIS-based agent-based model (ABM), named dynamic ecological exurban development (DEED), with spatial data in hypothetical scenarios to evaluate the individual and interacting effects of lot-size zoning and municipal land-acquisition strategies on possible forest-cover outcomes in Scio Township, a municipality in Southeastern Michigan. Agent types, characteristics, behavioural methods, ...

New methods of using on-line interactive mapping are reported with a specific focus on how citizens can participate in the delivery and management of everyday services in their neighbourhood. Particular emphasis will be placed on how ICTs can be used to facilitate the regeneration of inner city neighbourhoods through more integrated approaches to spatial data management. The paper examines how ...

BACKGROUND Assessing neighborhood vitality is important to understanding how to improve quality of life and health outcomes. The ecocity model recognizes that cities are part of natural systems and favors walkable neighborhoods. This article introduces ecocity mapping, an innovative planning method, to the public health literature on community engagement by describing a pilot project with a new...
