Humans typically describe spatial location using names, hierarchies, and relative positions (e.g., east of, inside), yet mainstream GIS represents places primarily through geometric coordinates, rendering qualitative spatial queries computationally c...
Urban building energy models present a valuable tool for promoting energy efficiency in building design and control, as well as for managing urban energy systems. However, the current models often overlook the importance of site-specific characterist...
This paper enhances the agent model of ordinary individuals by incorporating the roles of places in the transmission, prevention, and control in the process, establishing a fundamental connection between these two types of agents through individual t...
Everyday place descriptions provide a rich source of knowledge about places and their relative locations. This research proposes a place graph model for modelling this spatial, non-spatial, and contextual knowledge from place descriptions. The model...
In the evolving discourse of affective urbanism, emotions are increasingly recognized as fundamental, systemic drivers shaping the social, perceptual, and symbolic dimensions of urban space. Meanwhile, advances in visual technologies and media aesthe...

Smartphone overdependence among South Korean adolescents, affecting nearly 40%, poses a growing public health concern, with usage patterns varying by regional context. Leveraging conceptually informed AI/ML models, this study (1) develops a high-perf...
This contribution examines the potential of object-based image analysis (OBIA) for archaeological predictive modeling starting from elevation data, by testing a ruleset for the location of “control places” on two test areas in the Alpine environment...
In the era of rapid development in industry, an automatic production line is the fundamental and crucial mission for robotic pick-place. However, most production works for picking and placing workpieces are still manual operations in the stamping ind...
This study develops and tests factor-based and holistic theoretical models to explain the relationships between Spatial Quality Satisfaction (SQS), Overall Dormitory Satisfaction (ODS), and Place Attachment (PA) in student dormitories. Data collected...
It is important to consider establishing a shelter in place (SIP) using existing facilities to prepare for unpredictable and no-notice disasters. In this study, we evaluate the building-information-modeling (BIM)-based approach to simulate the strate...
This paper seeks to deconstruct the place of midwives as professionals using the novel interdisciplinary lens of the Place Model—an innovative analytical device which originated in education and has been previously applied to both teachers and...
This paper presents a methodology of integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) to evaluate the economic implications of designing aging-in-place (AIP) homes at the conceptual stage. With the rising global agi...
There is a clear controversy between the concepts of place branding and territorial brand in the context of regional development, with different meanings being attributed depending on the regions of the world. On the one hand, there are the typologic...
