Studies conceptualize planning support systems (PSS) outcomes as post-implementation use (limited or continuous) in the planning process. This paper presents another perspective on PSS implementation outcomes—its institutionalization in the pla...
Converting tower-mounted videos from perspective to orthographic view is beneficial for their integration with maps and remote sensing images and can provide a clearer and more real-time data source for earth observation. This paper addresses the iss...
In the context of increasing urban night lighting, the phenomenon of light trespass in residential areas is becoming increasingly serious, affecting the night comfort and circadian rhythm of residents. Aiming at this problem, this paper takes the nig...
In the era of big data, the rapid proliferation of user-generated content enriched with geolocations offers new perspectives and datasets for probing the spatiotemporal dynamics of tourist mobility. Mining large-scale geospatial traces has become cen...
To address the flood risks driven by climate change and urbanization, this study proposes the DRIRA model (Driving Force, Resistance, Influence, Recoverability, Adaptability). Distinct from BRIC (Baseline Resilience Indicators for Communities) and PE...
Areas characterised by high ecological and cultural value are increasingly exposed to overtourism and intensifying land-use pressures, often exacerbated by mobility policies aimed at enhancing regional accessibility and promoting tourism. These dynam...
Mountainous urban areas like Guiyang face unique fire safety challenges due to rugged terrain and complex road networks, which hinder fire station accessibility. This study proposes a GIS-based framework that integrates nighttime light (NPP/VIIRS) an...
Urban park green space (UPGS) is a key component of urban green infrastructure, yet it faces multiple contradictions, such as insufficient quantity and uneven distribution. Taking Zhengzhou City as a case study, this research explored the impacts of...
Street design quality and socio-economic factors jointly influence housing prices, but their intertwined effects and spatial variations remain under-quantified. Housing prices not only reflect residents’ neighborhood experiences but also stem f...
Spatial perception is essential for understanding residents’ subjective experiences and well-being. However, effective methods for tracking changes in spatial perception over time and space remain limited. This study proposes a novel approach t...
This article presents the ADAImpact tool, a QGIS plugin designed to assess the potential impacts of geohazards—such as landslides, subsidence, and sinkholes—using open-access surface displacement data from the European Ground Motion Servi...
Traffic flow forecasting plays a significant role in intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) and is instructive for traffic planning, management and control. Increasingly complex traffic conditions pose further challenges to the traffic flow foreca...
The increasing demand for high-quality geospatial visualizations in scientific publications has highlighted the need for accessible and standardized tools that support reproducible research. Researchers from various disciplines—often without ex...
With the rise in rural tourism, public space use has become more complex, causing significant weekday-weekend vitality imbalances. However, the factors shaping these dynamics in traditional villages remain unclear. This study uses Wi-Fi sensing metho...
Decision-making and planning in eco-wellness tourism can vary depending on time, resources, and the perspectives of stakeholders, as it is often challenging to generalize the results of decision-making models across different scenarios. Hence, the pr...
China has entered a period of urban renewal, with the focus shifting from large-scale incremental construction to both upgrading existing building quality and adjusting incremental structures. There are three main types of urban renewal: demolition a...
Remote sensing provides a viable alternative for understanding landscape modifications attributed to beaver activity. The central objective of this study is to integrate multi-source remote sensing observations in tandem with a deep learning (DL) (co...
With the widespread adoption of large language models (LLMs) in code generation tasks, geospatial code generation has emerged as a critical frontier in the integration of artificial intelligence and geoscientific analysis. This growing trend undersco...
Forecasting pedestrian congestion in urban back streets is challenging due to “shadow areas” where CCTV coverage is absent and trajectory data cannot be directly collected. To address these gaps, we propose the Peak-aware Graph-attention...
Spatial planning deals with the organization and regulation of space with the goal to improve the quality of life of its inhabitants. Spatial planning plays a vital role in land administration, encompassing land development, management, land use asse...
Traffic flow prediction is a prominent research area in intelligent transportation systems, significantly contributing to urban traffic management and control. Existing methods or models for traffic flow prediction predominantly rely on a fixed-graph...
The Blue Schools initiative integrates the ocean into classroom learning through project-based approaches, cultivating environmental awareness and a deeper sense of responsibility toward marine ecosystems and human–ocean interactions. Although...
Rapid urbanization across Southern Asia’s coastal regions has significantly increased electricity demand, driving India’s solar sector expansion under the National Solar Mission and positioning the country as the world’s fourth-larg...
