Abstract. Managing flood risk in Europe is a critical issue because climate change expected to increase hazard many european countries. Beside change, land use evolution also key factor influencing future risk. The core contribution of this paper new methodology model residential evolution. Based on two scenarios ("dry" and "wet"), the method applied study damage by 2100 along river Meuse. Nine urbanization were developed: three them assume "current trend" evolution, leading significant...
ABSTRACT Assessing populations exposed to climate change impacts traditionally relies upon census data estimations. Yet, these only provide a static picture of risk since censuses are often undertaken and released over long periods thus cannot be updated regularly. In this study, we investigate how leverage multi‐temporal geolocated social media from Meta‐Facebook assess spatio‐temporal variations population exposure vulnerability climate‐related risks. Building advanced spatial analytical...
Malaria burden is increasing in sub-Saharan cities because of rapid and uncontrolled urbanization.Yet very few studies have studied the interactions between urban environments malaria.Additionally, no standardized land-use/land-cover has been defined for malaria studies.Here, we demonstrate potential local climate zones (LCZs) modeling prevalence rate (Pf PR 2-10 ) studying settings across nine African cities.Using a random forest classification algorithm over set 365 surveys we: (i)...
Abstract Background The rapid and often uncontrolled rural–urban migration in Sub-Saharan Africa is transforming urban landscapes expected to provide shelter for more than 50% of Africa’s population by 2030. Consequently, the burden malaria increasingly affecting population, while socio-economic inequalities within settings are intensified. Few studies, relying mostly on moderate high resolution datasets standard predictive variables such as building vegetation density, have tackled topic...
A systematic and precise understanding of urban socio-economic spatial inequalities in developing regions is needed to address global sustainability goals. At the intra-urban scale, access detailed databases (i.e., a census) often difficult exercise. Geolocated surveys such as Demographic Health Surveys (DHS) are rich alternative source information but can be challenging interpolate at fine scale due their displacement, survey design lack very high-resolution (VHR) predictor variables these...
Climate change places cities at increasing risk and poses a serious challenge for adaptation. As response, novel sources of data combined with data-driven logics advanced spatial modelling techniques have the potential transformative in role information urban planning. However, little practical guidance exists on opportunities offered by mobile phone enhancing adaptive capacities areas. Building upon review studies mobilizing data, this paper explores such digital providing...
Commuting to and from dense urban centres is often believed be more energy efficient than commuting suburban areas. However, quantitative evidence lacking. In this context, paper investigates the interactions between spatial structure of territory transport consumption for commuting. Based on empirical surveys carried out every 10 years in Belgium, a method was developed applied assess efficiency home-to-work home-to-school trips. The main findings highlight that planning acts travel major...
This paper describes and analyses viewpoints regarding climate change adaptation held among key social actors from the field of development planning in Philippines. Four empirically significant perspectives are determined – institutional, grassroots, developmental, physical using Q-method, an intensive qualitative quantitative technique. Major differences commonalities between highlighted, addition to actors' arguments used justify claims. Drawing upon actor-oriented approach, results...
Allergic rhinitis includes a certain degree of autonomic imbalance. However, no information is available on how daily changes in allergy burden affect We aimed to estimate associations between (allergy symptoms and mood) heart rate characteristics (resting sample entropy, both biomarkers balance) adults with allergic rhinitis, based real-world measurements wearable telemonitoring system.
