Subjectively Weighted Development Scenarios for Urban Allocation: A Case Study of South East Queensland

This article presents a GIS‐based methodology to integrate a measure of geographic attractiveness of localities in the process of allocating potential dwellings in the context of a large urban region. The methodology was developed for a study area in Brisbane‐South East Queensland (SEQ), known as the Sunbelt Region, a rapidly growing region and a popular tourist destination in Australia. In this article, we have used a multivariate technique to develop a set of parameterised linear equations to define underlying dimensions that drive residential location decision choices. Aesthetic and accessibility factors were identified in the factor analysis from data collected via a survey of Quality of Life. Spatial measures were based on a combination of network distance and kernel density estimation to calculate ‘aesthetic’ and ‘accessibility’ scenarios, which were then overlaid and multiplied by their subjective weights to create an ‘overall attractiveness scenario’. These development scenarios were integrated as a set of criteria to control the allocation of potential dwelling capacity over the next 25 years at a grid cell level.

GIS与Voronoi多边形在医疗服务设施地理可达性分析中的应用

地理可达性是研究评价各种服务设施布局及其服务域的重要指标之一,空间距离、交通便捷性、出行成本等是可达性测度的重要因子。由于医疗设施等公共设施通常以服务的公平性和覆盖性为目标,因此可定义居民点到最邻近医院的距离为地理可达性的测度。在此基础上,作者提出了基于GIS与Voronoi多边形的地理可达性计算方法。这一方法不仅将地理可达性分析中的空间点对之间的距离计算简化为空间查询,方便了GIS应用,而且计算的Voronoi多边形在本质上就是最邻近意义上医院的服务域,即服务域内各居民点到该医院的距离就是最邻近距离。此外结合人口分布等属性数据,还可深入分析各医院的服务承载力,本方法为医疗设施等公共服务设施的规划决策提供了重要的工具。     

土地利用景观格局对居民就业可达性的影响——以武汉市中心城区为例

城市的制度转型和空间重构加剧了职住分离现象,降低了居民就业可达性,土地利用景观格局特征是影响居民就业可达性的因素之一。基于经济普查、人口普查数据以及2010年和2014年两期土地利用数据,对武汉市中心城区街道尺度的居民就业可达性进行分析,定量描述土地利用景观格局对居民就业可达性的影响。研究结果表明,景观格局指数中景观尺度的边缘密度、香农多样性指数和斑块类型尺度的斑块面积、斑块占景观面积比例、回旋半径、聚合度均对就业可达性有显著影响;就业类斑块特征对居民就业可达性的影响比居住类斑块更大,居住区规划应考虑周边就业岗位数量;土地利用多样性、斑块分布紧实度的提升均有助于提高居民就业可达性。

An Agent‐Based Simulation of Residential Location Choice of Tenants in Tehran,Iran

Residential location choice modeling is one of the substantial components of land use and transportation models. While numerous aggregated mathematical and statistical approaches have been developed to model the residence choice behavior of households, disaggregated approaches such as the agent‐based modeling have shown interesting capabilities. In this article, a novel agent‐based approach is developed to simulate the residential location choice of tenants in Tehran, the capital of Iran. Tenants are considered as agents who select their desired residential alternatives according to their characteristics and preferences for various criteria such as the rent, accessibility to different services and facilities, environmental pollution, and distance from their workplace and former residence. The choice set of agents is limited to their desired residential alternatives by applying a constrained NSGA‐II algorithm. Then, agents compete with each other to select their final residence among their alternatives. Results of the proposed approach are validated by comparing simulated and actual residences of a sample of tenants. Results show that the proposed approach is able to accurately simulate the residence of 59.3% of tenants at the traffic analysis zone level.

基于GIS的两步移动搜寻法在北京市就医空间可达性评价中的应用

传统上用行政区内每千人病床数等指标来评价就医的空间可达性,并未考虑医院(供给)与人口(需求)的空间分布差异性及两者可跨越行政区界的潜在相互作用。基于GIS的移动搜寻法使用较小普查单元的人口数据,解决了内在的人口空间分布问题;移动搜寻域可以跨越行政区界,更合理地考虑病人与医院潜在的相互作用。本文通过北京市就医空间可达性的实证研究,展现了基于GIS的两步移动搜寻法在公共服务空间可达性评价方面的重要作用。     

线与面目标间拓扑关系的层次表达方法

拓扑关系已广泛应用于空间查询、相似性分析、制图综合、不一致性探测以及空间推理等实际应用中。本文研究IR2中一条线与一个简单面目标拓扑关系的描述和区分方法,采用的基本策略是分解与组合方法。首先,将线/面拓扑关系分为两类:基本关系和复合关系。其中复合关系描述为若干个基本关系的组合,即基本关系的一个集合。然后,提出了基本拓扑关系分类和区分方法,建立了相应的层次概念邻域图。针对复合拓扑关系,从空间集合的角度提出了具有三个层次的拓扑不变量,分别是(a)集合层次上的分离数和维数,(b)元素层次上的交分量类型和(c)综合层次上的交分量序列。分析发现,在IR2中一条线与一个简单面目标间具有16种潜在的基本关系。其中,它们的13种是描述复合线/面关系的基本构成单元。     

Segmented Principal Component Analysis for Parallel Compression of Hyperspectral Imagery

Principal component analysis (PCA) is widely used for spectral decorrelation in the JPEG2000 compression of hyperspectral imagery. However, due to the data-dependent nature of principal components, the principal component transform matrix is stored in the JPEG2000 bitstream, constituting an overhead that is often negligible if the spatial size of the image is large. However, in parallel compression in which the data set is partitioned to multiple independent processing nodes, the overhead may no longer remain negligible. It is shown that a segmented approach to PCA can greatly mitigate the detrimental effects of transform-matrix overhead and can outperform wavelet-based decorrelation which entails no such overhead.     

Comparing access for all: disability-induced accessibility disparity in Lisbon

It is well known that individual impairments create disparities in the accessibility of individuals to opportunities, lengthening the distances or time needed to reach them or even completely impeding access. However, the accurate calculation and representation of these disparities remain a major challenge for urban and transportation planners. In this paper, we adopt the concept of accessibility disparity, originally applied to measure place accessibility by different modes of transport, to measure and represent the accessibility of individuals with physical disabilities compared to those without disabilities. We use spatial network analysis to calculate spatial connectivity and the accessibility of Lisbon’s city center, revealing what we define as ‘disability-induced accessibility disparity’. Our results reveal not only the locations responsible for reduced accessibility, i.e., barriers and/or deterrents to movement, but also how much any given disparity reduces the accessibility of an individual, allowing the use of this methodology by planners to identify critical areas and to design inclusive public spaces.     

Modeling Situation Factors Used in MCE Procedures for Raster GIS

Multi‐criteria evaluation (MCE) procedures are widely used in raster‐based geographic information systems (GIS) to perform a variety of land use siting applications. Many of the criteria used in an MCE analysis are based on spatial relationships or situation characteristics. Situation factors measure the accessibility that each raster cell is to resources or land uses that generate spatial externalities for the activity being sited. This accessibility can be measured either in terms of distance to the nearest target cell containing resources or the overall level of resource availability as measured by a spatial interaction model. This paper examines the spatial structure of these situation factors to identify the set of critical target cells for which distance estimates are most sensitive. Critical target cells are especially important in the case of positive externalities in which an activity would be inclined to locate near these cells to use or consume the resources there. Critical target cells are useful for evaluating the utility of the final site selection with respect to resource/activity ratios.

针对常用稀疏表示系数融合规则不能完全保留两幅影像的有用信息,该文通过分析稀疏表示系数支撑集空间分布关系,提出一种新的稀疏表示系数融合规则。首先对多光谱影像进行广义IHS变换,将得到的亮度分量与全色影像分别进行稀疏表示;然后分析亮度分量与全色影像稀疏表示解的支撑集,对支撑集中交集部分和差集部分所对应的稀疏表示系数分别利用求和方式与L1范数最大方式进行融合;最后采用加权细节插入方式,将融合后的亮度分量细节信息插入到多光谱影像中,得到高分辨多光谱影像。实验结果表明,该方法能较好地提高空间分辨率并减少光谱损失;在主观视觉和客观评价上,比常用的融合规则方法有所提高。     

An Integrated GIS Approach to Accessibility Analysis

Accessibility is an important element in evaluating existing land‐use patterns and transportation services, predicting travel demands and programming transportation investments in urban transportation planning. This paper presents an integrated GIS approach to accessibility analysis, which provides a general framework for integrated use of GIS, travel impedance measurement tools and accessibility measures to support the accessibility analysis process, including formulating the concept of accessibility, selecting or developing accessibility measures, specifying the accessibility measures, deriving the accessibility values using the selected or developed accessibility measures, and presenting and interpreting the accessibility values. An integrated GIS tool, ACCESS, designed for implementing the integrated approach is also described and illustrated.     

Graphically supported evaluation of mapping techniques used in presenting spatial accessibility

ABSTRACT

Given the rising availability of alternative ways of spatial data mapping, there is a growing need to study their usability. An important aspect here is the diversity of the cartographic visualizations that are used to draw conclusions about the usability of various mapping techniques. In our study we evaluated the usability of six various mapping techniques used in presenting spatial accessibility, taking into consideration four components: effectiveness and efficiency (objective criteria) and graphical attractiveness and user-perceived effectiveness (subjective criteria). Using Internet questionnaires, we conducted a graphical perception experiment with respondents performing tasks on a hypothetical monocentric road network model displayed using mapping techniques of spatial accessibility, differing in the applied parameters of graphical and non-graphical factors influencing effectiveness and efficiency. The results showed that non-graphical factors had a greater influence than the graphical factors. In total usability comparison the three-dimensional (3D) point technique was ranked the highest, while the worst result was achieved by the 3D area technique. The proposed graphical form of study results made it possible to compare the influence of various effectiveness factors, to analyze mapping techniques in terms of considered criteria and finally to present their total usability using a chart inspired by Uhorczak’s typogram.

Space-time accessibility measures: A geocomputational algorithm with a focus on the feasible opportunity set and possible activity duration

 Space-time accessibility measures have received much attention in recent years due to their sensitivity to differences in individual ability to participate in activities in space and time. Despite the conceptual attractiveness and robustness of space-time measures, only few attempts have been made to operationalize them to date. Research that seeks to improve space-time accessibility measures is still sorely needed. This study seeks to enhance space-time accessibility measures through developing a new operational method and GIS-based algorithm that better represents the space-time characteristics of urban opportunities (e.g. their geographical distribution and opening hours) and human activity-travel behavior (e.g. delay times, minimum activity participation time, and maximum travel time threshold). The proposed method not only takes into account the number and size of opportunities, but also the possible activity duration at each activity location given its opening hours and the effect of transport network topology (e.g. one-way streets, turn restrictions and over-pass). Incorporating these elements into space-time measures helps overcome several shortcomings of previous approaches to evaluating space-time accessibility.
