Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the actual walking distance public transport (PuT) stations and report passenger perceptions on route choice. Design/methodology/approach A systematic case study has been conducted after administrating a tailor-made paper-based intercept survey in German city (Munich). It can determine interrelation between accessibility transit service evaluation acceptance. Statistical analysis geo-spatial approach were completed for obtaining major findings....

The livelihoods of coastal people are at risk as shoreline migration is accelerated by climate change. To safeguard these communities and maintain their economy, it imperative to strengthen resilience via adaptive strategies. Therefore, this study aims estimate the rates impacts physical over past 9,000 years using geospatial analysis focus on understanding livelihood at-risk in-depth interviews with environmental experts. dynamic system Ganga-Brahmaputra-Meghna highly complex causes...

Improving the urban environment is an urgent task in fast-growing mid-sized cities of South Asia. Ambient air pollution worsened by unplanned land use and a lack green waterbodies, which combined cause rapid increase heat island (UHI) effect. This study focuses on pervasive ambient environment, primarily driven particulate matter (PM), presents dire public health threat. An in-situ investigation 48 sites but city, Mymensingh, Bangladesh, suggested that PM 2.5 concentration (118 ± 64 μg/m 3 )...

Making cities smart is an inherent goal and challenge for contemporary cities. This phenomenon becomes more complicated when there urgent need to adopt city principles against the backdrop of visible invisible factors that cause urban transformations with varying magnitudes. One type visibly factor e-commerce its expanding operation understood changes a city's conventional spatial structure. However, very limited research exists about momentum pervasive magnitude impact. Current literature...

This study focuses on stakeholders’ participation, perceptions and local contextualization in the Informal Settlement (IS) regularization processes Khulna City. These are undertaken to address livelihood challenges of IS dwellers operationalize development initiatives informal projects. Adopting both a qualitative quantitative approach, research results show that formation City started slowly with rural immigration. immigrants remain vulnerable climate change although some were since last 20...

The creation of an accurate simulation future urban growth is considered to be one the most important challenges last five decades that involves spatial modeling within a GIS environment. Even though built-up densification processes, or transitions from low high density, are critical for policymakers concerned with limiting sprawl, literature on models study reveals them focus solely expansion process. Although majority these have similar goals, they differ in terms implementation and...

This study examines and explores the contribution of an energy-optimized urban planning approach to efficient resource use in context Dhaka city, Bangladesh. A conceptual energy optimization model called “EnUp” has been developed tested for feasibility adaptation strategies improve residential settlements. is based on a system analysis grounded theory that involved field methods including key informant (KI) interviews collection data information from local offices other secondary sources....

Urbanization needs to conceptualize land use policy beyond the city boundaries. It might be explained by exploring complex and interconnected interdependencies in regional key driving factors that can have tele-coupling effects during sudden shocks. Over one million Rohingya settled rural/forest area Cox's Bazar for locational proximity comparatively easy escape from Myanmar after domestic conflicts. This study aims explore spatial dimension of urbanization a transition context focusing on...

An increasing number of studies have reported on the need to augment public electric vehicle (EV) charging points (E-CPs) in areas with growing demand for parking. However, focus E-CP infrastructure equity has largely been ignored. For increased uptake EVs, we argue that future augmentation (EIA) will necessitate identification optimal locations based a need-focused strategic approach. Our work utilises open datasets and presents generic multicriteria-based modelling framework EIA framework....

Location planning process as one of the most complicated spatial decisions is initial and perhaps critical steps in development a New Town. Site selection (seat location) fundamental factor success new towns functionality, also determines town investment. Since location selecting well-fit option from feasible alternatives significant problem every decision making process, Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) has been found to be an efficient approach solve this kind problems. There are...

Abstract This paper gives a comprehensive introduction to the IOER Monitor – an open research data infrastructure (RDI) in Germany providing domain-specific multi-temporal geospatial datasets, services and visualizations for land use cover (LULC)-related development of settlements space closely related topics. Its easy-to-use information system provides multi-scale offers form discussion platform that supports spatial assessment evidence-based decision making. It contributes public land-use...

Research on environmental justice comprises health and well-being aspects, as well topics related to general social participation. In this research field, among others, there is a need for an integrated use of science survey data spatial data, e.g. combining demographic information from with pollution data. However, researchers it challenging link both sources, because (1) the interdisciplinary nature sources different, (2) underlie different legal restrictions, in particular regarding...

Abstract. This article presents the concept, implementation and results of project "OpenGeoEdu", an open web-based educational resource on Remote Sensing GIS. OpenGeoEdu is focused use geodata in spatially oriented study courses. Teachers students German-speaking countries are to be offered learning environment hoping increase motivation researchers by dealing with current societal relevant issues. available at www.opengeoedu.de, has been as a MOOC since October 2018 being continuously...

The world is currently experiencing a COVID-19 pandemic, and possibly suffering its second wave in September 2020 (i.e.An der Heiden & Buchholz, 2020; An 2020).Like many other domains, the agenda of urban spatial data science requires revision to adapt these new challenges, demonstrate potentials contribute sustainable transition processes.This short essay an initiative make invitation reader rather than provide complete insight on issue raised here context era.Cities should not be...
