The social organization of the first fully sedentary societies that emerged during Neolithic period in Southwest Asia remains enigmatic,1Kuijt I.

Applied historical landscape research often takes place under the umbrella of sustainability issues and research, but now includes both environmental community resilience. This confronts study cultural landscapes with new challenges such as how to utilize long-term more recent perspectives, integrate economic, ecological drivers change. A key question is make studies relevant for contemporary services future changes. We propose a framework that combines insights from biography, ecology...
Spatial scientific research has increasingly become multidisciplinary. The need for different disciplines to share thematic knowledge and information increased. However, not many Data Infrastructures (SDIs) have succeeded in facilitating the needs of these multidisciplinary communities. This article provides a methodological framework development user-centric SDI applies it academic community that researches history heritage urban rural landscapes Netherlands. In addition, demonstrates how...
This article discusses the use of 3D technologies in digital earth applications (DEAs) to study complex sites. These are large areas containing objects with heterogeneous shapes and semantic information. The proposes that DEAs should be modular, have multi-tier architectures, developed as Free Open Source Software if possible. In requiring high reliability measurements, point clouds proposed basis for Digital representation. For development DEAs, we propose follow a workflow four components:...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to address the challenge for knowledge exchange between disciplines that study past urban landscapes, such as archaeologists, historians and historical geographers work on new landscapes architects spatial planners. It presents design, deployment evaluation a heritage instrument, “digital cultural biography” (DCB), which aims allow future-oriented make more informed decisions. Design/methodology/approach makes three contributions. First it methodology...
An important goal of the project Accessing Campscapes: inclusive strategies for using European Conflicted Heritage (iC-ACCESS), has been to develop approaches presentation and communication contending perspectives on Nazi Stalinist sites (Dolghin et al. 2017). A key objective treating these ‘heritagescapes’ ‘develop state-of-the-art implement innovative tools which provide sustainable in-situ virtual forms investigation, representation’ (Van der Laarse 2020). central issue is gaining...
Current advances in spatial simulation bring unprecedented possibilities for spatio-temporal modeling. In this paper, we focus on modeling the impact of settlement land use Roman period Dutch river area, northern frontier Empire. During period, area witnessed a strong population increase that put more demands available to produce food, not only local population, but also soldiers stationed and citizens newly founded towns. We compare an agent-based model (ABM) agricultural production region...
Current environmental crises call for an integrated knowledge of landscapes and their ecosystems in a broader sense. This article presents pedagogical framework cross-disciplinary landscape research at postgraduate level. The is grounded the use geospatial epistemic discomfort as creative force to develop enhance inquiry skills able cross merge disciplinary boundaries. Developed within Erasmus+ KA2 project "CROSSLAND", based on scaffolding through four key didactic elements: 1) group work...
This article reflects on landscape biography as a strategy for interdisciplinary urban history research. It discusses the application of approach in Challenging Testaccio, joint project Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Soprintendenza Speciale per il Colosseo, Museo Nazionale Romano e l'Area archeologica di Roma, collaboration with Royal Netherlands Institute Rome Faculty Architecture RomaTreUniversity. ongoing aims at diachronic district from antiquity onwards also studies evolution heritage...
Abstract. Parking management plays a critical role in keeping urban spaces accessible and managers strive for an optimal balance between not enough too much parking. Deciding which parking space can be liberated or needs to extended requires detailed data on occupancy trends. In person inspection in-situ sensors provide such but are costly city wide deployment. High-resolution satellite imagery is becoming more affordable, has the advantage of instantaneously collecting information from...
As knowledge graphs are getting increasingly adopted, the question of how to maintain validity and accuracy our becomes ever more relevant.We introduce context-aware constraints as a means help preserve integrity.Context-aware offer fine-grained control domain onto which we impose restrictions.We also bottom-up anytime algorithm discover contextaware constraint directly from heterogeneous graphs-graphs made up entities literals various (data) types linked using relations.Our method is...
