The diversity of urban land changes, however, have been greatly under studied, since the major focus of past research has been on urban growth. In this study, we proposed a framework to characterize diverse urban land changes of 30 global megacities using monthly nighttime light time series from VIIRS data. First, we developed a Logistic-Harmonic model to fit VIIRS time series. Second, by leveraging the uniqueness of urban land change and nighttime light data, we incorporated temporal information of VIIRS time series and proposed a new classification scheme to produce monthly maps of built-up areas and to disentangle urban land changes into five categories. Third, we provided an in-depth analysis and comparison of urban land change patterns of the selected megacities. Results demonstrated that the Logistic-Harmonic model yielded a robust performance in fitting VIIRS time series. Temporal features based classification can not only significantly improve the mapping accuracy of built-up areas, especially for regions with heterogeneous built-up and non-built-up landscapes, but also promoted temporal consistency and classification efficiency. Urban land changes occurred in 51% of the built-up pixels of the megacities. Compared with urban growth, other types of urban land change, particularly land use intensification, contributed to an unexpectedly large proportion of the changes (83%). The findings of this study offer an insightful understanding on global urbanization processes in megacities, and evoke further investigation on the environmental and ecological implications of urban land changes.

Modelling the effect of landmarks on pedestrian dynamics in urban environments / Gabriele Filomena in Computers, Environment and Urban Systems, vol 86 (March 2021)  

Public [article]  inComputers, Environment and Urban Systems > vol 86 (March 2021) . - n° 101573 Titre : Modelling the effect of landmarks on pedestrian dynamics in urban environments Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Gabriele Filomena, Auteur ; Judith A. Verstegen, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 101573 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Analyse spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] carte cognitive [Termes descripteurs IGN] itinéraire piétionnier [Termes descripteurs IGN] Londres [Termes descripteurs IGN] milieu urbain [Termes descripteurs IGN] modèle de simulation [Termes descripteurs IGN] modèle orienté agent [Termes descripteurs IGN] navigation pédestre [Termes descripteurs IGN] point de repère Résumé : (auteur) Landmarks have been identified as relevant and prominent urban elements, explicitly involved in human navigation processes. Despite the understanding accumulated around their functions, landmarks have not been included in simulation models of pedestrian movement in urban environments. In this paper, we describe an Agent-Based Model (ABM) for pedestrian movement simulation that incorporates the role of on-route and distant landmarks in agents' route choice behaviour. Route choice models with and without landmarks were compared by using four scenarios: road distance minimisation, least cumulative angular change, road distance minimisation and landmarks, least cumulative angular change and landmarks. The city centre of London was used as a case study and a set of GPS trajectories was employed to evaluate the model. The introduction of landmarks led to more heterogeneous patterns that diverge from the minimisation models. Landmark-based navigation brought about high pedestrian volumes along the river (up to 13% of agents) and the boundaries of the parks (around 8% of the agents). Moreover, the model evaluation showed that the results of the landmark-based scenarios were not significantly different from the GPS trajectories in terms of cumulative landmarkness, whereas the other scenarios were. This implies that our proposed landmark-based route choice approach was better able to reproduce human navigation. At the street-segment level, the pedestrian volumes emerging from the scenarios were comparable to the trajectories' volumes in most of the case study area; yet, under- and over-estimation were observed along the banks of the rivers and across green areas (up to +7%, −11% of volumes) in the landmark-based scenarios, and along major roads (up to +11% of volumes) in the least cumulative angular change scenario. While our model could be expanded in relation to the agents' cognitive representation of the environment, e.g. by considering other relevant urban elements and accounting for individual spatial knowledge differences, the inclusion of landmarks in route choice models results in more plausible agents that make use of relevant urban information.

Spatial multi-criteria evaluation in 3D context: suitability analysis of urban vertical development / Kendra Munn in Cartography and Geographic Information Science, vol 48 n° 2 (March 2021)  

Public [article]  inCartography and Geographic Information Science > vol 48 n° 2 (March 2021) . - pp 105 - 123 Titre : Spatial multi-criteria evaluation in 3D context: suitability analysis of urban vertical development Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Kendra Munn, Auteur ; Suzana Dragićević, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : pp 105 - 123 Note générale : Bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Analyse spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] analyse multicritère [Termes descripteurs IGN] combinaison linéaire ponderée [Termes descripteurs IGN] compréhension de l'image [Termes descripteurs IGN] croissance urbaine [Termes descripteurs IGN] densification [Termes descripteurs IGN] hauteur du bâti [Termes descripteurs IGN] logement [Termes descripteurs IGN] modèle 3D de l'espace urbain [Termes descripteurs IGN] planification urbaine [Termes descripteurs IGN] urbanisme [Termes descripteurs IGN] Vancouver (Colombie britannique) Résumé : (Auteur) Urban densification is often seen as a process that aims to limit the negative environmental impacts of urban sprawl in rapidly growing cities by prioritizing planning policies stimulating vertical growth (or high-rise development) over expansion along the urban fringe. Densification of major Canadian urban areas has led to the proliferation of high-rises with an increasing proportion of residents occupying these buildings rather than traditional individual housing. Thus, there is a need for analytical methods that can evaluate the suitability of different residential units in vertical urban developments based on unique criteria for different stakeholders such as prospective residents, developers, or municipal planners. Multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) analysis with weighted linear combination (WLC) is frequently implemented in geographic information systems (GIS) to identify the appropriate solution(s) for a decision problem. However, there are currently no available MCE methods for spatial analysis that can provide evaluation in a three-dimensional (3D) GIS environment, such as for urban vertical development. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to propose a 3D WLC-MCE suitability analysis method for suitability of high-rise residential units in a dense urban area. Five preference scenarios were developed and applied to data from City of Vancouver, Canada. The results indicate that south-facing units and units on higher floors generally exhibit higher levels of suitability as they are less affected by the noise and pollution of the urban road network and receive more sunlight and ocean views. The proposed 3D MCE approach can be used for urban planning and property tax assessment.

Crowdsourcing without data bias: Building a quality assurance system for air pollution symptom mapping / Marta Samulowska in ISPRS International journal of geo-information, vol 10 n° 2 (February 2021)  

Public [article]  inISPRS International journal of geo-information > vol 10 n° 2 (February 2021) . - n° 46 Titre : Crowdsourcing without data bias: Building a quality assurance system for air pollution symptom mapping Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Marta Samulowska, Auteur ; Szymon Chmielewski, Auteur ; Edwin Raczko, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 46 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géomatique web [Termes descripteurs IGN] carte sanitaire [Termes descripteurs IGN] données localisées des bénévoles [Termes descripteurs IGN] pollution atmosphérique [Termes descripteurs IGN] production participative [Termes descripteurs IGN] qualité de l'air [Termes descripteurs IGN] qualité des données [Termes descripteurs IGN] science citoyenne [Termes descripteurs IGN] surveillance sanitaire [Termes descripteurs IGN] zone urbaine Résumé : (auteur) Crowdsourcing is one of the spatial data sources, but due to its unstructured form, the quality of noisy crowd judgments is a challenge. In this study, we address the problem of detecting and removing crowdsourced data bias as a prerequisite for better-quality open-data output. This study aims to find the most robust data quality assurance system (QAs). To achieve this goal, we design logic-based QAs variants and test them on the air quality crowdsourcing database. By extending the paradigm of urban air pollution monitoring from particulate matter concentration levels to air-quality-related health symptom load, the study also builds a new perspective for citizen science (CS) air quality monitoring. The method includes the geospatial web (GeoWeb) platform as well as a QAs based on conditional statements. A four-month crowdsourcing campaign resulted in 1823 outdoor reports, with a rejection rate of up to 28%, depending on the applied. The focus of this study was not on digital sensors’ validation but on eliminating logically inconsistent surveys and technologically incorrect objects. As the QAs effectiveness may depend on the location and society structure, that opens up new cross-border opportunities for replication of the research in other geographical conditions.

Estimating the impacts of proximity to public transportation on residential property values: An empirical analysis for Hartford and Stamford areas, Connecticut / Bo Zhang in ISPRS International journal of geo-information, vol 10 n° 2 (February 2021)  

Public [article]  inISPRS International journal of geo-information > vol 10 n° 2 (February 2021) . - n° 44 Titre : Estimating the impacts of proximity to public transportation on residential property values: An empirical analysis for Hartford and Stamford areas, Connecticut Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Bo Zhang, Auteur ; Weidong Li, Auteur ; Nicholas Lownes, Auteur ; et al., Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 44 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Analyse spatiale [Termes descripteurs IGN] analyse de la valeur [Termes descripteurs IGN] bien immobilier [Termes descripteurs IGN] Connecticut (Etats-Unis) [Termes descripteurs IGN] logement [Termes descripteurs IGN] régression des moindres carrés partiels [Termes descripteurs IGN] régression géographiquement pondérée [Termes descripteurs IGN] transport public [Termes descripteurs IGN] zone urbaine Résumé : (auteur) Public transit infrastructure may increase residential property values by improving accessibility and reducing commute expenses in urban areas. Prior studies have investigated the impacts of the proximity to public transportation on property values and obtained mixed conclusions. Many of these studies were focused on one transit mode for a single city. In this study, a hedonic pricing model is constructed to investigate the impacts of commuter rail/Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and bus lines separately in two different areas: the Stamford area (Stamford–Darien–New Canaan) and the Hartford area (Hartford–West Hartford–East Hartford), Connecticut. Comparison of the results from Ordinary Least Square and Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) indicates that estimation accuracy can be improved by considering local variation. Results from GWR show that impacts of proximity to bus and rail/BRT on property values vary spatially in the Hartford area. Negative impacts of bus stops are found in downtown Hartford and positive impacts in the west and east sides of Hartford. Impacts from rail/BRT are relatively minor compared with bus lines, partly due to the relatively recent launching of the BRT and Hartford rail line. In contrast, most properties in the Stamford area show appreciation towards rail service and depreciation to bus service. This study reveals the roles of different public transit systems in affecting residential property values. It also provides empirical evidence for future transit-oriented development in this region for uplifting the real estate market.
