Strategic Spatial Planning Support System for Sustainable Development
Agent-Based Modelling and Simulation
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022
1 059 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This book introduces a planning support system called Strategic Spatial Plan Support System (SSP-SS) to visualize population growth and predict energy demand, land use, and waste discharge resulting from urbanization. By analyzing policy interactions between household agents, the book uses SSP-SS to visualize policy effects on urban areas during stages of growth and decline. Simulations are created based on these policy outcome assessments, taking into account the influences of energy and resource consumption on sustainable development in urban environments. The book is geared towards researchers, universities, and urban policy makers.The book begins by presenting a framework of urban growth simulation, and introducing SSP-SS. Then, household lifecycle and relocation models are employed for simulating policy impacts on urbanization, and investigating the impacts of spatial strategic planning. Several projects are assessed using agent-based modeling including shopping centre construction, day-care service for aging populations, and shelter accommodation capacities for earthquakes and other disasters. The final chapters discuss water and energy management, the environmental impacts of demand and consumption, and future recommendations for sustainable development and policy implementation.Introduces Strategic Spatial Plan Support System (SSP-SS) to visualize population growth and predict energy demand, land use, and waste discharge resulting from urbanization.Analyzes policy effects on urban areas during stages of growth and decline.Discusses the influences of water and gas consumption on environmental issues in urban areas for sustainable development.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This contributed volume details how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Earth observation systems can effectively improve the prediction of groundwater quality and support decision-making in arid and semi-arid regions. Earth observation systems, including remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS), play a crucial role in assessing and monitoring groundwater quality. Remote sensing data, such as satellite imagery, can provide valuable information on land cover, vegetation indices, and water quality parameters. GIS tools enable the spatial analysis and visualization of groundwater quality data.AI and Earth observation-based methods support effective water resource management by identifying suitable areas for artificial groundwater recharge (AGR) and assessing the impact of pollution on water resources. These techniques help formulate conservation policies and sustainable water management strategies. Various AI techniques, including ANN, SVM, KNN, and decision trees, have been applied to model groundwater quality and predict water quality indices. These models capture complex relationships between hydro chemical parameters and groundwater quality, enabling accurate predictions and informed decision-making.The application of AI and Earth observation systems in groundwater quality prediction contributes to the sustainability of water resources. Identifying pollution sources, assessing water quality, and guiding decision-making processes support preserving and managing water resources in arid and semi-arid regions.

Regional and Urban Change and Geographical Information Systems and Science
An Analysis of Northern Canada
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 823 kr
Kommande
This volume offers an interdisciplinary, spatially grounded analysis of Northern Canada—centring the territories of Yukon, the Northwest Territories, and Nunavut, and the broader geography of Inuit Nunangat—to show how climate change, infrastructure, governance, and cultural continuity co-produce northern development outcomes. Rather than treating the North as a uniform periphery, the book foregrounds spatial heterogeneity in exposure, vulnerability, and adaptive capacity, demonstrating how “wicked problems” emerge through interconnected systems of mobility, services, food procurement, and ecological transformation. It combines GIScience, regional science, and spatial analysis to translate complex realities into decision-relevant insight, including approaches spanning remote sensing, spatial vulnerability assessment, and network-based measures of connectivity.Across the chapters, the volume examines Arctic urbanization and institutional “anchoring,” vegetation regime shifts such as shrubification, food scarcity and Inuit food sovereignty in Nunavut, health and service accessibility under digital constraints, environmental monitoring and decision support, and the structural fragmentation of transportation networks—where many Nunavut communities remain effectively road-isolated beyond the immediate settlement footprint. It also positions heritage preservation, Indigenous knowledge systems, and Indigenous data sovereignty as central, rather than ancillary, to resilience planning. The concluding synthesis advances “spatial intelligence” beyond mapping: an integrative framework for equity, resilience, and sovereignty in Northern Canada.

Archaeology has been historically reluctant to embrace the subject of agent-based simulation, since it was seen as being used to "re-enact" and "visualize" possible scenarios for a wider (generally non-scientific) audience, based on scarce and fuzzy data. Furthermore, modeling "in exact terms" and programming as a means for producing agent-based simulations were simply beyond the field of the social sciences. This situation has changed quite drastically with the advent of the internet age: Data, it seems, is now ubiquitous. Researchers have switched from simply collecting data to filtering, selecting and deriving insights in a cybernetic manner. Agent-based simulation is one of the tools used to glean information from highly complex excavation sites according to formalized models, capturing essential properties in a highly abstract and yet spatial manner. As such, the goal of this book is to present an overview of techniques used and work conducted in that field, drawing on the experience of practitioners.
