However, problems persist in the quantitative delimitation of such regions. Based on the characteristics of abrupt urbanization-level changes in urban–rural fringe areas, we propose a constraint-based method in this study to detect the urban–rural fringes of cities with a spatial polycentric structure of ‘Main center–Subcenter’ based on data from multiple sources. We used the proposed approach to delimitate the fringe areas of Jiangyin and Zhangjiagang and identify their urban main center and subcenter pre-defined by their city master plans, towns, and rural hinterlands. Comparison of the identified results of different single urbanization indices, a single detection center, kernel density estimation, and a single constraint revealed that the patch density and Shannon’s diversity index of the proposed method were higher in urban–rural fringes and smaller in city centers and rural hinterlands. This suggests that the landscape of urban–rural fringes delimitated by the proposed method is more fragmented, diverse, and complicated, thereby performing better. This study is significant for future urban spatial analysis, planning, and management.

Geographically masking addresses to study COVID-19 clusters / Walid Houfaf-Khoufaf in Cartography and Geographic Information Science, vol 49 n° inconnu (2022)  

Public [article]  inCartography and Geographic Information Science > vol 49 n° inconnu (2022) Titre : Geographically masking addresses to study COVID-19 clusters Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Walid Houfaf-Khoufaf, Auteur ; Guillaume Touya , Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Projets : 1-Pas de projet / Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Vedettes matières IGN] Géomatique [Termes IGN] adresse postale [Termes IGN] anonymisation [Termes IGN] carte sanitaire [Termes IGN] classification barycentrique [Termes IGN] surveillance sanitaire [Termes IGN] traitement de données localisées Résumé : (auteur) The spatio-temporal analysis of cases is a good way an epidemic, and the recent COVID-19 pandemic unfortunately generated a huge amount of data. But analysing this raw data, with for instance the address of the people who contracted COVID-19, raises some privacy issues, and geomasking is necessary to preserve both people privacy and the spatial accuracy required for analysis. This paper proposes dierent geomasking techniques adapted to this COVID-19 data. Methods: Different techniques are adapted from the literature, and tested on a synthetic dataset mimicking the COVID-19 spatio-temporal spreading in Paris and a more rural nearby region. Theses techniques are assessed in terms of k-anonymity and cluster preservation. Results: Three adapted geomasking techniques are proposed: aggregation, bimodal gaussian perturbation, and simulated crowding. All three can be useful in different use cases, but the bimodal gaussian perturbation is the overall best techniques, and the simulated crowding is the most promising one, provided some improvements are introduced to avoid points with a low k-anonymity. Conclusions: It is possible to use geomasking techniques on addresses of people who caught COVID-19, while preserving the important spatial patterns.

Identifying map users with eye movement data from map-based spatial tasks: user privacy concerns / Hua Liao in Cartography and Geographic Information Science, vol 49 n° 1 (January 2022)  

Public [article]  inCartography and Geographic Information Science > vol 49 n° 1 (January 2022) . - pp 50 - 69 Titre : Identifying map users with eye movement data from map-based spatial tasks: user privacy concerns Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Hua Liao, Auteur ; Weihua Dong, Auteur ; Zhicheng Zhan, Auteur Année de publication : 2022 Article en page(s) : pp 50 - 69 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] auto-géolocalisation [Termes IGN] classification par forêts aléatoires [Termes IGN] comportement [Termes IGN] confidentialité [Termes IGN] identité [Termes IGN] lecture de carte [Termes IGN] oculométrie [Termes IGN] orientation [Termes IGN] partage de données localisées [Termes IGN] protection de la vie privée [Termes IGN] utilisateur [Termes IGN] visualisation cartographique [Vedettes matières IGN] Cartologie Résumé : (auteur) Individuals with different characteristics exhibit different eye movement patterns in map reading and wayfinding tasks. In this study, we aim to explore whether and to what extent map users’ eye movements can be used to detect who created them. Specifically, we focus on the use of gaze data for inferring users’ identities when users are performing map-based spatial tasks. We collected 32 participants’ eye movement data as they utilized maps to complete a series of self-localization and spatial orientation tasks. We extracted five sets of eye movement features and trained a random forest classifier. We used a leave-one-task-out approach to cross-validate the classifier and achieved the best identification rate of 89%, with a 2.7% equal error rate. This result is among the best performances reported in eye movement user identification studies. We evaluated the feature importance and found that basic statistical features (e.g. pupil size, saccade latency and fixation dispersion) yielded better performance than other feature sets (e.g. spatial fixation densities, saccade directions and saccade encodings). The results open the potential to develop personalized and adaptive gaze-based map interactions but also raise concerns about user privacy protection in data sharing and gaze-based geoapplications.

Prescribed burning as a cost-effective way to address climate change and forest management in Mediterranean countries / Renata Martins Pacheco in Annals of Forest Science [en ligne], vol 78 n° 4 (December 2021)  

Public [article]  inAnnals of Forest Science [en ligne] > vol 78 n° 4 (December 2021) . - n° 100 Titre : Prescribed burning as a cost-effective way to address climate change and forest management in Mediterranean countries Type de document : Article/Communication Auteurs : Renata Martins Pacheco, Auteur ; Joao Claro, Auteur Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : n° 100 Note générale : bibliographie Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteur : [Termes IGN] brûlis [Termes IGN] changement climatique [Termes IGN] droit fiscal [Termes IGN] écologie forestière [Termes IGN] émission de gaz [Termes IGN] forêt méditerranéenne [Termes IGN] gestion forestière [Termes IGN] incendie de forêt [Termes IGN] puits de carbone [Termes IGN] service écosystémique [Vedettes matières IGN] Foresterie Résumé : (auteur) Key message: As climate change and forest management become the focus of various development agendas and the price of carbon rises in the market, the need for improving carbon sequestration and avoiding wildfires emissions increases. Prescribed burning interventions might play an important role in this context, as in some situations, it has been suggested that it can reduce overall fire emissions. In this study, the potential economic benefits associated with the practice are analyzed for five Mediterranean countries. Despite the uncertainty in the estimates, the results suggest that under some circumstances these interventions can be cost-effective from a carbon management perspective. Context: Wildland fires are becoming a major concern for many European countries and are expected to become more prevalent due to climate change, affecting societies, ecosystems, and various ecosystem services provided by forests that are not valued by traditional markets, such as carbon sequestration. Aims: The objective of this study is to evaluate the possibility of using carbon taxation to fund fire management measures in Mediterranean countries. Methods: The analysis is done by converting prescribed burning savings in carbon emissions into their economic value. This is performed for France, Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, which is studied in more detail, since the country has a National Prescribed Burning Program (NPBP) and a specific tax on carbon in place. Results: The results indicate that most countries could potentially have benefits in the order of millions of euros from employing prescribed burning measures. In Portugal, NPBP has the potential to be a relevant policy instrument to reduce wildfire emissions, as well as economically since the carbon emissions savings can outweigh the prescribed burning costs in some circumstances. Also, the revenue from the country’s Addition Tax on Carbon Emissions would be able to accommodate the foreseen prescribed burning costs. Conclusion: There are still many uncertainties regarding the benefits of prescribed burning in terms of overall emission reductions, and more studies should be conducted on this topic. However, as the price of carbon rises in the markets and climate change becomes a more pressing concern, even small emissions reductions might be economically interesting. The analysis framework used in this study has the potential to be useful for other countries, especially in Mediterranean-type ecosystems.

What is the impact of tectonic plate movement on country size? A long-term forecast / Kamil Maciuk in Remote sensing, vol 13 n° 23 (December-1 2021)

Here, based on the NUVEL 1A model, we forecast (in 10, 25, and 50 years) the changes in area for countries that are located on the border of the major tectonic plates. In the analysis we identify countries that are projected to gain or lose land due to the tectonic plate movement only. Over the next 50 years, the global balance of area gains (0.4 km2) and losses (12.7 km2) is negative. Thus, due to the movements of lithospheric plates, the land surface of the Earth will decrease by 12 km2 in 50 years. Overall, the changes are not that spectacular, as in the case of changes in sea/water levels, but in some smaller countries, projected losses exceed a few thousand square metres a year, e.g., in Nepal the losses exceed 10,000 m2 year−1. Methodologically, this paper finds itself between metric analysis and essay, trying to provoke useful academic discussion and incite educators’ interests to illustrate to students the tectonic movement and its force. Limitations of the used model have been discussed in the methodology section.
