For modelling and predicting soil indicators to be fully operational and facilitate decision-making at any spatial level, there is a requirement for precise spatially referenced soil information to be available as input data. This paper focuses on sh...

Accessibility plays an important role in alleviating rural poverty. Previous studies have explored the relationship between accessibility and rural poverty, but they offer limited evidence of the collective influence of multiscale transport accessibi...

The identification of urban functional regions (UFRs) is important for urban planning and sustainable development. Because this involves a set of interrelated processes, it is difficult to identify UFRs using only single data sources. Data fusion met...

The UK, as elsewhere, has seen an accelerating trend of bank branch closures and reduced opening hours since the early 2000s. The reasons given by the banks are well rehearsed, but the impact assessments they provide to justify such programs and sign...

The traditional methods of estimating housing vacancies rarely use daytime housing exterior images to estimate housing vacancy rates (HVR). In view of this, this study proposed the idea and method of estimating urban housing vacancies based on daytim...

Topographic maps show both physical and artificial entities of the surface of the Earth which represent distinct features forming the building blocks in map composition. Their portrayal on the map is subject to constraints dependent on the method of...

Geo-information technology plays a critical role in urban planning and management, land resource quantification, natural disaster risk and damage assessment, smart city development, land cover change modeling and touristic flow management. In particu...

This study used spatial interaction modeling to examine whether origin-specific and destination-specific factors, distance decay effects, and spatial structures explain the criminal trips of residential burglars. In total, 4041 criminal trips committ...

The purpose of this paper was to produce the geological hazard-susceptibility map for the Changbai Mountain area affected by volcanic activity. First, 159 landslides and 72 debris flows were mapped in the Helong city are based on the geological disas...

With the rapid development of the internet and social media, extracting emergency events from online news reports has become an urgent need for public safety. However, current studies on the text mining of emergency information mainly focus on text c...

A urban digital twin is the virtual representation of real assets, processes, systems and subsystems of a city. It uses and integrates heterogeneous data to learn and evolve with the physical city, providing support to monitor the current status and...

As the passenger railway network is expanding and improving, the internal connections and interdependence in the network are rising. Once a sudden geological hazard occurs and damages the network structure, the train service is prone to large-scale h...

Accurate subway passenger flow prediction is crucial to operation management and line scheduling. It can also promote the construction of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Due to the complex spatial features and time-varying traffic patterns...

The rapid acquisition of deposit volume information and dynamic modeling, as well as the visualization of disaster scenes, have great significance for the sharing of landslide information and the management of emergency rescue. However, existing meth...

The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of different design methods of bus route maps and dynamic real-time information on the bus route map search efficiency and cognitive load. A total of 32 participants were tested through an experimen...

Geological maps have wide coverage with low acquisition difficulty. When other geological survey data are scarce, they are a valuable source of geological structure information for geological modeling. However, for structures with large deformation,...

As a unique phenomenon of soil erosion in the granite-red-soil hilly area of southern China, Benggang has seriously affected agricultural development and regional sustainable development. However, few studies have focused on the driving factors and t...

The causes of bushfires are extremely complex, and their scale of burning and probability of occurrence are influenced by the interaction of a variety of factors such as meteorological factors, topography, human activity and vegetation type. An in-de...

The increasing popularity of intercity commuting is affecting regional development and people’s lifestyles. A key approach to addressing the challenges brought about by intercity commuting is analyzing its determinants. Although spatial nonstat...

In Earth System Sciences (ESS), spatial data are increasingly used for impact research and decision-making. To support the stakeholders’ decision, the quality of the spatial data and its assurance play a major role. We present concepts and a wo...

Land use and land cover (LULC) classification maps help understand the state and trends of agricultural production and provide insights for applications in environmental monitoring. One of the major downfalls of the LULC technique is inherently linke...

Recognizing building group patterns is fundamental to numerous fields, such as urban landscape evaluation, social analysis, and map generalization. Despite the increasing number of algorithms available for building group pattern recognition, there is...

Residential areas is one of the basic geographical elements on the map and an important content of the map representation. Multi-scale residential areas matching refers to the process of identifying and associating entities with the same name in diff...

In urban environmental management and public health evaluation efforts, there is an urgent need for fine-grained urban air quality monitoring. However, the high price and sparse distribution of air quality monitoring equipment make it difficult to de...

Understanding organism movement is at the heart of many ecological disciplines. The study of landscape connectivity—the extent to which a landscape facilitates organism movement—has grown to become a central focus of spatial ecology and c...

The evaluation of ecological risk and the construction of ecological security patterns are significant for the conservation of World Natural Heritage sites with high outstanding universal value. This paper constructed a landscape ecological risk eval...

Many scientists have been investigating Land Surface Temperature (LST) because of its relevance in water management science due to its direct influence on the hydrological water cycle. This effect stems from being one of the most significant variable...

Accurate extraction of urban landscape features in the historic district of China is an essential task for the protection of the cultural and historical heritage. In recent years, deep learning (DL)-based methods have made substantial progress in lan...

Streets are an important component of urban landscapes and reflect the image, quality of life, and vitality of public spaces. With the help of the Google Cityscapes urban dataset and the DeepLab-v3 deep learning model, we segmented panoramic images t...

Mapping of landslides, conducted in 2021 by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS), revealed 3202 landslides in Denmark, indicating that they might pose a bigger problem than previously acknowledged. Moreover, the changing climate is a...

The next point-of-interest (POI) recommendation is one of the most essential applications in location-based social networks (LBSNs). Its main goal is to research the sequential patterns of user check-in activities and then predict a user’s next...

Geospatial data analysis often requires the computing of a distance transform for a given vector feature. For instance, in wildfire management, it is helpful to find the distance of all points in an area from the wildfire’s boundary. Computing...
