Accurate forecasting of city-level large-scale traffic flow is crucial for efficient traffic management and effective transport planning. However, previously proposed traffic flow prediction methods model dynamic spatial correlations across entire tr...
Coal mining provides energy and economic benefits but also causes environmental damage, including land degradation, pollution, and surface temperature anomalies. Underground coal fires can severely impact the environment, leading to abnormal heat, gr...
Service, or catchment areas of public transport stops are traditionally assessed using Euclidean or network distances, often neglecting other relevant factors such as topography. This study proposes a refined approach that integrates network-based ac...
This study investigates residential segregation and housing types in Craiova, Romania, with a particular focus on the disparities shaped by historical and contemporary urban developments. Using collected data from former hostels built for young worke...
The trajectory data collected by an Automatic Identification System (AIS) are an essential resource for various ships, and effective filtering and querying approaches are fundamental for managing these data. Natural language has become the preferred...
Residential mobility within cities reflects the spatio-temporal patterns of individual or household relocation behaviors and serves as an effective tool for interpreting urban socio-spatial differentiation from a micro-level perspective. Newly employ...
Historical maps contain valuable topographic information, including altimetry in the form of annotated elevation contours. These contours are essential for understanding past terrain configurations, particularly in areas affected by human activities...
In 21st-century American cities, urban crime remains a critical public safety concern influenced by complex social, political, and environmental structures. Crime is not randomly distributed and built-environment characteristics, such as street netwo...
Urbanization, climate change, and the need for sustainable development are critical challenges facing cities worldwide. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 11 emphasizes the importance of creating inclusive, safe, resilient, and su...
This paper presents a methodology for correcting geometric and topological errors, specifically addressing fragmented and disconnected components in buildings (FDCB) in 3D models intended for urban digital twin (UDT). The proposed two-stage approach...
During emergency evacuations, pedestrians may use three-dimensional (3D) motions, such as low crawling and climbing up/down, to navigate above or below indoor objects (e.g., tables, chairs, and stair flights). Understanding how these motions influenc...
The traditional paradigm for studying urban morphology involves the interpretation of Nolli maps, using methods such as morphometrics and visual neural networks. Previous studies on urban morphology discovery have always been based on raster analysis...
Flash floods pose a significant threat to Bangladesh; in particular, on 20 August 2024, the Feni district experienced a major flash flood, affecting more than 550,000 people and causing widespread damage. To effectively mitigate the impacts of flash...
Railway networks are highly susceptible to land subsidence, which can undermine their functional stability and safety, resulting in recurring failures and vulnerabilities. This paper aims to evaluate the susceptibility of the railway network due to Q...
A distance range join query (DRJQ) is a fundamental and critical operation in spatial database queries. It identifies geographic elements within specified distance ranges. This technique has a wide range of applications in multiple domains, including...
Next point-of-interest (POI) recommendation aims to predict users’ future visitation intentions based on historical check-in trajectories. However, this task faces significant challenges, including coarse-grained user interest representation, i...
Map groups exhibit distinct spatial distribution characteristics, making their pattern recognition crucial for map generalization, map matching, geographic dataset construction, and urban planning/analysis. Current pattern recognition methods for map...
Taking 992 world cultural heritage (WCH) sites as the research object, the spatial distribution and evolution characteristics of WCH were analyzed by kernel density analysis, mathematical statistics, standard deviation ellipse, among other methods, a...
Public service facilities are the cornerstone of urban development and further expansion, and their spatial distribution fairness is closely related to the quality of life of urban residents. Existing research tends to focus on coverage analysis of a...
Typhoons are among the most destructive natural phenomena, posing significant threats to human society. Therefore, accurate damage assessment is crucial for effective disaster management and sustainable development. While social media texts have been...
Moving away from a static concept for the landscape that surrounds us, in this research article, we approach the visual landscape as a dynamic concept. Moreover, we attempt to provide an interconnection between the domains of landscape and cartograph...
Promoting health equity is key to achieving sustainable urban development. The National Sanitary Cities in China (NSCC) policy is a critical development model aimed at improving urban environments and enhancing public health. This study evaluates the...
This study introduces a geospatial comprehensive methodological system aimed at evaluating the suitability and need for agricultural digital solutions (ADSs) across Europe. This system integrates a diverse range of factors, including geophysical char...
Scientific site selection for urban parks is an important way to increase urban resilience and safeguard people’s well-being. Aiming at the lack of systematic consideration in the traditional park siting research, this study utilizes geographic...
Educational achievement plays a significant role in the labour market, benefiting individuals and society. Graduating from high school is a key step towards better employment opportunities and a prerequisite for higher education attainment. In 2023,...
Origin–destination (OD) flows are essential for urban studies, yet their acquisition is often hampered by high costs and privacy constraints. Prevailing inference methodologies inadequately address latent spatial dependencies between non-contig...
Sports facilities encompass diverse spaces tailored to various sports disciplines, each characterized by unique shapes and sizes. Skateparks, renowned for their avant-garde designs, are meticulously crafted to exude distinctiveness, featuring an arra...
With the rise of urban digital twins and smart cities, the integration of building information modeling (BIM) and geospatial information systems (GISs) have captured the interest of researchers. Although significant advancements have been achieved in...
