The resilience and sustainability of local wetland management institutions in Illubabor and Western Wellega,Ethiopia

Local community based institutions that coordinate the management of natural resources have been linked to socioecological resilience, adaptation and sustainability within rural livelihood systems throughout the developing world. The resilience and sustainability of related local institutions, however, is influenced by their relationship with external actors and institutions, particularly in facilitating, supporting or hindering local institutional arrangements. From this standpoint, this paper examines the case of local community based institutions involved in wetland management in western Ethiopia. Drawing upon the findings of participatory fieldwork undertaken in eight wetland‐using communities of Illubabor and Western Wellega zones in Oromia Region it is argued that although local institutions do play a key role in coordinating wetland management and sustaining the benefits from wetlands, the sustainability and resilience of the institutions themselves is threatened by a range of factors. Despite their grassroots nature, their effectiveness is influenced by their reliance on local government backstopping that appears to have diminished in recent years, as well as a perceived lack of local government support for collective action over individual rights.

基于知识对象的土地管理空间数据库模型设计与实现

空间数据模型建立的目的是反映现实世界。当今的GIS系统的空间数据模型,主要反映地图制图领域的点、线、面对象管理与操作的几何知识。本文通过对比研究,发现土地管理空间概念的领域知识,包含几何知识。几何知识是依据几何特征属性识别的土地管理领域知识之一。将土地管理领域空间概念的领域知识对象化,建立与几何知识对象等价的对象组件,扩展对象关系型的空间数据模型,建立了"[领域空间知识对象]+[GIS的点、线、面的几何对象]+[扩展属性]"的空间数据模型。这种模型简化了空间数据库的管理操作,降低了对工作人员制图专业知识的要求,降低了空间对象实例与其属性的耦合度,减少了政策变化对数据的影响程度,提高了数据的稳定性和共享度。鉴于这种空间数据库模型,本文开发了空间知识对象的江苏省"515"城乡一体化地籍系统的数据检查子系统,在镇江市、江都市等多个市县的"515"城乡一体化地籍调查的数据检查入库工作中得以应用,证明了模型设计的可行性,收到了良好的效果,为专题GIS空间数据管理,提供了一种的新的空间数据模型。

Mining knowledge from result comparison between spatial clustering themes

This paper introduces some definitions and defines a set of calculating indexes to facilitate the research, and then presents an algorithm to complete the spatial clustering result comparison between different clustering themes. The research shows that some valuable spatial correlation patterns can be further found from the clustering result comparison with multi-themes, based on traditional spatial clustering as the first step. Those patterns can tell us what relations those themes have, and thus will help us have a deeper understanding of the studied spatial entities. An example is also given to demonstrate the principle and process of the method.     

AN ANALYSIS OF THE RANGE AND SPATIAL GRADIENT OF URBAN RECREATIONAL HINTERLANDS

Because medical geography is a dynamic and developing area of thought, a number of conceptual and empirical problems are, as yet, relatively unexplored. This essay constitutes an attempt to delimit these problems, which include the application of geographical analysis to ascertaining disease causation, the prediction of future disease patterns and disease diffusion, and evaluation of the importance of maximizing geographical access to health care facilities.

The introduction of automated generalisation procedures in map production systems requires that generalisation systems are capable of processing large amounts of map data in acceptable time and that cartographic quality is similar to traditional map products. With respect to these requirements, we examine two complementary approaches that should improve generalisation systems currently in use by national topographic mapping agencies. Our focus is particularly on self‐evaluating systems, taking as an example those systems that build on the multi‐agent paradigm. The first approach aims to improve the cartographic quality by utilising cartographic expert knowledge relating to spatial context. More specifically, we introduce expert rules for the selection of generalisation operations based on a classification of buildings into five urban structure types, including inner city, urban, suburban, rural, and industrial and commercial areas. The second approach aims to utilise machine learning techniques to extract heuristics that allow us to reduce the search space and hence the time in which a good cartographical solution is reached. Both approaches are tested individually and in combination for the generalisation of buildings from map scale 1:5000 to the target map scale of 1:25 000. Our experiments show improvements in terms of efficiency and effectiveness. We provide evidence that both approaches complement each other and that a combination of expert and machine learnt rules give better results than the individual approaches. Both approaches are sufficiently general to be applicable to other forms of self‐evaluating, constraint‐based systems than multi‐agent systems, and to other feature classes than buildings. Problems have been identified resulting from difficulties to formalise cartographic quality by means of constraints for the control of the generalisation process.     

A modified binary space partitioning tree for geographic information systems

We present a reactive data structure, that is, a spatial data structure with detail levels. The two properties, spatial organization and detail levels, are the basis for a geographic information system (GIS) with a multi-scale database. A reactive data structure is a novel type of data structure catering to multiple detail levels with rapid responses to spatial queries. It is presented here as a modification of the binary space partitioning tree that includes the levels of detail. This tree is one of the few spatial data structures that does not organize space in a rectangular manner. A prototype system has been implemented. An important result of this implementation is that it shows that binary space partitioning trees of real maps have O(n) storage space complexity in contrast to the theoretical worst case O(n² ), with n the number of line segments in the map.     

Linear interpolation and joint model fitting of experimental transiograms for Markov chain simulation of categorical spatial variables

In Markov chain random field (MCRF) simulation of categorical spatial variables with multiple classes, joint modeling of a large number of experimental auto and cross-transiograms is needed. This can be tedious when mathematical models are used to fit the complex features of experimental transiograms. Linear interpolation can be used to perform the joint modeling quickly regardless of the number and the complexity of experimental transiograms. In this paper, we demonstrated the mathematical validity of linear interpolation as a joint transiogram-modeling method, explored its applicability and limitations, and tested its effect on simulated results by case studies with comparison to the joint model-fitting method. Simulations of a five-class variable showed little difference in patterns for interpolated and fitted transiogram models when samples were sufficient and experimental transiograms were in regular shapes; however, they neither showed large difference between these two kinds of transiogram models when samples were relatively sparse, which might indicate that MCRFs were not much sensitive to the difference in the detail of the two kinds of transiogram models as long as their change trends were identical. If available, expert knowledge might play an important role in transiogram modeling when experimental transiograms could not reflect the real spatial variation of the categorical variable under study. An extra finding was that class enclosure feature (i.e., a class always appears within another class) was captured by the asymmetrical property of transiograms and further generated in simulated patterns, whereas this might not be achieved in conventional geostatistics. We conclude that (i) when samples are sufficient and experimental transiograms are reliable, linear interpolation is satisfactory and more efficient than model fitting; (ii) when samples are relatively sparse, choosing a suitable lag tolerance is necessary to obtain reliable experimental transiograms for linear interpolation; (iii) when samples are very sparse (or few) and experimental transiograms are erratic, coarse model fitting based on expert knowledge is recommended as a better choice whereas both linear interpolation and precise model fitting do not make sense anymore.
