Cover Story: In the context of active mobility, a key component for the achievement of sustainable urban development, this study presents a framework for measuring active mobility conditions at the city scale, utilising global open data through the calculation of mode-specific street network indices. To achieve this, pedestrian, cycling, driving, and public transport networks are extracted from OpenStreetMap and refined to compute 50 indicators across eight index types, which measure network characteristics like compactness and straightness, as well as functional characteristics such as proximity or cycling comfort. Applied to 176 cities worldwide, the resulting indicators, published as open data, showed that higher-income cities, especially in Europe, tend to exhibit more compact, connected, and better-mapped environments that foster active mobility. View this paper

CerMapp: A Cloud-Based Geospatial Prototype for National Wildlife Disease Surveillance

  • Tommaso Orusa,
  • Annalisa Viani,
  • Alessio Di Lorenzo and
  • Riccardo Orusa

CerMapp is a multi-platform and system application designed to address a critical gap in veterinary public health: the lack of a standardized, national-scale geodatabase for wildlife diseases. This gap has long hindered the effective application of G...
