GIS-enabled historiography to determine travel routes during the Western Han period via agent-based models and least-cost path analysis

GIS-enabled historiography allows us to shed light on missing or poorly understood aspects of historical events. Here, we use agent-based models (ABMs), least cost path analysis (LCPA), and space–time paths to recreate and evaluate possible modes and routes of travel undertaken by Shi Rao, a Western Han official. A diary was found in Shi Rao's tomb that includes information about his travels over 1 year (11 BCE), including start and end times of his journeys. But it leaves out details regarding modes of transport or exact routes. Using Tan Qixiang's historical atlas, we digitized river networks and utilized modern topographic data to digitally recreate the landscape as it was during Shi Rao's travels. This was then used to evaluate possible journeys via rivers (using ABMs) and roads (using LCPA), and compared to historical speed of boats, carts and horses, with findings indicating that horseback may have been the viable option.     

Multi‐Scale Qualitative Location: A Topology‐Based Model

Qualitative locations describe spatial objects by relating the spatial objects to a frame of reference (e.g. a regional partition in this study) with qualitative relations. Existing models only formalize spatial objects, frames of reference, and their relations at one scale, thus limiting their applicability in representing location changes of spatial objects across scales. A topology‐based, multi‐scale qualitative location model is proposed to represent the associations of multiple representations of the same objects with respect to the frames of reference at different levels. Multi‐scale regional partitions are first presented to be the frames of reference at multiple levels of scale. Multi‐scale locations are then formalized to relate multiple representations of the same objects to the multiple frames of reference by topological relations. Since spatial objects, frames of reference, and topological relations in qualitative locations are scale dependent, scale transformation approaches are presented to derive possible coarse locations from detailed locations by incorporating polygon merging, polygon‐to‐line and polygon‐to‐point operators.

基于最佳用途的土地用途有偿管制机制探索

当前基于现状用途的管制存在管制方式偏行政化、管制手段无偿化导致农村集体土地收益偏向国有、非农产业和城市分配,重塑用途管制制度已显示出迫切性。本文探索基于最佳用途,通过"用途差"和"用途差"交易实现土地用途有偿管制的机制,认为通过用途有偿管制机制不仅可以保护农用地,特别是耕地资源,保障土地资源的可持续利用。而且,可激活土地资源价值,特别是有助于农用地资源资产、资本化,缩小农村、农业和农民家庭资产与收入与城镇的差距。     

静止卫星标称投影解析方法及其在FY2-C中的应用

通过对静止卫星在三轴椭球参数条件下地心坐标的标称投影公式推导过程,建立了经纬度到单位平面位置的可逆映射方程,其正反算公式精度可达10<'-20>;并对大地坐标的经纬度进行了类似的推导,但标识线垂直地表而不过地心的坐标定义导致正算公式中存在角度正切的四次方项,因此反算需要采用数值解法.两组解析表达式为查照表的建立提供了直接的数学依据,相对于迭代数值计算方法而言,解析方法更便于分析投影过程的误差和畸变.围绕FY2-C卫星地面系统工程中查照表的重建,兼顾卫星图像陆地位置与主要大陆轮廓数据的投影吻合,需要对单位平面的投影进行放大和平移,并提供多组可选择的放大因子,使得经纬度到图像点映射与查照表对应值整体误差较小.建议根据实际应用的坐标系统、卫星位置参数、地球参数选择不同的匹配参数.这种方法可以应用于图像点地理位置精度要求很高但计算不是特别频繁的数据处理算法中,如相对定标和定位,但在其他算法中除了精度以外查照表还是有作用的.

Changes in timber haul emissions in the context of shifting forest management and infrastructure

Background  

Although significant amounts of carbon may be stored in harvested wood products, the extraction of that carbon from the forest generally entails combustion of fossil fuels. The transport of timber from the forest to primary milling facilities may in particular create emissions that reduce the net sequestration value of product carbon storage. However, attempts to quantify the effects of transport on the net effects of forest management typically use relatively sparse survey data to determine transportation emission factors. We developed an approach for systematically determining transport emissions using: 1) -remotely sensed maps to estimate the spatial distribution of harvests, and 2) - industry data to determine landscape-level harvest volumes as well as the location and processing totals of individual mills. These data support spatial network analysis that can produce estimates of fossil carbon released in timber transport.
