Natural hazards, such as major flood events, are occurring with increasing frequency and inflicting levels of financial damages upon affected communities. The experience events has brought about a significant change in attitudes to flood-risk management, shift away from built engineering solutions alone towards more multifaceted approach. Europe's damaging episodes provided the impetus for introduction European Floods Directive, requiring establishment management plans at river-basin scale....
For European urban regional planning, the Impact Assessment tools are used to understand current situation and explore concerns about future of world. This paper presents results scenario modelling relevant indicators for development. Within Europe, Ireland is experiencing one severest recessions. It has undergone substantial changes over past three decades: recession in 1980s, boom 1990s economic collapse at end 2000s [1]. Over these periods there have been land use population variation...
Environmental perceptions are central to individuals' behavioural interactions with the environment. Cognitive maps, portraying a spatial representation of an individual's environmental perception, can be aggregated gain insight into collective perception groups and populations. This paper uses cognitive mapping techniques examine one aspect flood risk within residential population (n = 305). Flood was examined for whole sample six subgroup pairs. Using subgroups allowed examination how...
Urban development and climate change are expected to have significant effects on urban stormwater runoff. In this study, the Dynamic Water Simulation Model (DUWSiM) is applied Dublin, Ireland, explore runoff patterns under varying growth scenarios. Results show that annual could decrease by 3.0% from monthly increase 30% in winter 28% summer. also indicate up 15%. The combined effect of climatic land-use generated may potentially totals between 2.9% 21%. Monthly changes 57%. Accommodating...
Problem, research strategy, and findings: Planners today are confronted with unprecedented uncertainty in economic, political, technological environments, especially at the regional scale. An increasingly common approach to addressing such is exploratory scenario analysis. To provide new insights into methods utility of analyses, we conducted a analysis Baltimore (MD)–Washington (DC) region by engaging technical advisory committee exercising loosely coupled suite advanced transportation,...
It is an expensive and time-consuming task to develop a new model. Furthermore, single model often cannot provide answers required for complex decision making based on multiple criteria. Coupling models are applied make use of existing analyze policy questions. This paper provides overview possible integration approaches, briefly explains the modules that were integrated in particular application, focuses methods this research. While initial attempt was integrate all as tightly possible,...
In the context of sustainable urban development, application selected indicators integrated with scenario simulation and analysis can contribute to evidence-based decision making. This paper discusses land use modelling opportunity mapping approaches evaluate regional development scenarios for Greater Dublin Region in period 2026 evolving from research initially developed Regional Authority. involved four different future using an adapted version MOLAND model maps based on combined spatial...
In this study, environmental sustainability implications of planned rail infrastructure investments on the urban form and development in Greater Dublin Region (GDR) have been analysed incorporating scenario analysis approach. Various scenarios are developed using MOLAND Model applications including: A baseline a continuation present dispersed pattern an alternative with rail-oriented corridor development, under varying conditions economic growth. An was also for recessionary case considering...
Abstract Ensuring adequate provision of waste water treatment facilities in a rapidly growing urban area is complex task. This article analyses the key legislation and planning frameworks which underpin new Ireland extension existing as well mechanisms for mobilizing investment therein. Using MOLAND model, spatial distribution three population projections Greater Dublin Region are examined how this will impact on planned future capacity defined catchment areas two specific cases discussed.
Indicators can contribute to land use management, particularly in the context of sustainable urban development. Together with scenario analysis, they are key instruments producing information for stakeholders and policy makers aid their understanding development processes. Based on such information, understand better driving forces, current state development, how decision influence future trends, what impacts decisions have landscape. This article presents an application modeling indicator...

This paper addresses two main questions: first, why should Bayesian and other innovative, data-dependent design models be put into practice and, secondly, given the past dearth of actual applications, how might one example such a implemented in genuine trial? Clinical trials amalgamate theory, ethics, but this last point has become relegated to background, rather than taking often more appropriate primary role. Trial evolved its roots R. A. Fisher's randomized agricultural field 1920s....
Abstract Nutrient enrichment and eutrophication can increase when urbanisation intensification of agriculture production occurs without accompanying mitigation measures to offset impacts from land use transitions. The identification protect or restore water quality is a challenging exercise, particularly in the context increasing population urbanisation. Hence, decision-makers need adequate tools better understand evaluate effects policy interventions on management control urban regions. A...
