A 3-dimensional data model for visualizing cloverleaf junction in a city model

The research work has been seldom done about cloverleaf junction expression in a 3-dimensional city model (3DCM). The main reason is that the cloverleaf junction is often in a complex and enormous construction. Its main body is bestraddle in air, and has aerial intersections between its parts. This complex feature made cloverleaf junction quite different from buildings and terrain, therefore, it is difficult to express this kind of spatial objects in the same way as for buildings and terrain. In this paper, authors analyze spatial characteristics of cloverleaf junction, propose an all-constraint points TIN algorithm to partition cloverleaf junction road surface, and develop a method to visualize cloverleaf junction road, surface using TIN. In order to manage cloverleaf junction data efficiently, the authors also analyzed the mechanism of 3DCM data management, extended BLOB type in relational database, and combined R-tree index to manage 3D spatial data. Based on this extension, an appropriate data structure for cloverleaf junction in 3DCM is proposed.

空间数据库辅助设计系统的探析与实现

地理信息标准化是很漫长的道路,在实践中常常由于规范性的缺乏而带来很多问题.本文试从提高数据字典的通用性、灵活性和可维护性角度出发,提出了通用基础地理信息数据字典系统的概念,并从规范数据生产过程的角度出发,产生了建立一套全新独立的、由向导生成的数据字典建库方案流程的思路.最后根据以上思路研制开发了空间数据库辅助设计系统.     

基于GIS和AHP的灰色评估法在工程建设适宜性评价中的应用——以黄山市中心城区为例

随着城市现代化进程的加快,工程建设活动日趋频繁.在城市规划、工程建设前进行地质条件分析、适宜性评价是十分必要的.工程建设适宜性受多种因素影响,各因素间相互关联但影响程度不同.文章以黄山市中心城区为实例,从地质环境条件角度出发,介绍基于地理信息系统（GIS）和层次分析法（AHP）的灰色评估法在实际评价工作中的具体应用.该方法首先选取与工程建设适宜性密切相关的影响因素作为评价因子,在对评价单因子定性评价的基础上,用AHP确定各评价单因子的权重,最后用灰色评估法对工程建设适宜性进行综合评估.该应用效果较好,可在同类评价中推广.

Mediterranean cities under fire. A critical approach to the wildland–urban interface

Wildfires are widely reviewed as key inputs to Mediterranean ecosystems. However, research is often flawed by major biases. (1) The approach adopted by most planners focusing on forest fires dismisses the human dimension of fire as a component of agricultural production systems. (2) The Wildland–Urban Interface (WUI) concept postulates that cities and wildlands/wildfires are, and should remain, worlds apart, a statement whose truth is increasingly questioned by recent disastrous “urban wildfires”. (3) The Mediterranean Basin as a fire-prone area is all the more fantasized, as it is almost never studied as a whole.The present paper takes a critical view of city–wildland/wildfire interrelationships through a large-scale study of the Mediterranean Basin based on MODIS MCD12Q1 (Land Cover Type) and MCD45A1 (Burned Area Product) data collected between 2001 and 2013. The Mediterranean is an ideal place to investigate, as its human-dominated and urbanized landscapes are known to be extremely vulnerable to fire hazards. Data processing reveals that (wild)fires and cities maintain indissoluble ties, as if both elements could not be considered mutually exclusive on a geographical basis. Urban sprawl, reduced rural autonomies, changes in forest covers, old agricultural practices, and military conflicts provide the framework for an extended mitigation process challenging the WUI concept as a space divider.
