The planning of green-blue spaces (GBSs) requires considering the pedestrian needs in their walking routes for improving experience. Incorporating quantitative spatial characteristics movement is essential pedestrian-friendly urban planning, which however received insufficient attention. Based on space syntax theory, this study provided three indicators – accessibility, visibility, and intelligibility to demonstrate physical access, visual cognition, respectively, movement. Measuring these...
ABSTRACT Managing complex disaster risks requires interdisciplinary efforts. Breaking down silos between law, social sciences, and natural sciences is critical for all processes of risk reduction. It essential to explore how AI enhances understanding legal frameworks environmental management, while also examining factors may limit AI's role in society. From a co‐production review perspective, drawing on insights from lawyers, scientists, principles responsible data mining are proposed based...
Spatially-invariant land use and cover changes (LUCC) are not suitable for managing non-stationary drought conditions. Therefore, developing a spatially varying framework resources is necessary. In this study, the Dongjiang River Basin in South China used to exemplify significance of spatial heterogeneity planning optimization mitigating risks. Using ERA5 that 5th major atmospheric reanalysis from European Centre Medium-Range Weather Forecast, we computed Standardized Runoff Index (SRI)...
Abstract Emerging drought stress on vegetation over western Eurasia is linked to varying teleconnection patterns. The North Sea–Caspian Pattern (NCP) a relatively less studied Eurasian pattern, which has role conditions and the consequence of changing vegetation. Between 1981 2015, we found that Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) Normalized Difference Vegetation (NDVI) have different trend patterns various parts Eurasia. Specifically, greenness with wetter Scandinavia, cover decreases...
Land use planning regulates surface hydrological processes by adjusting land properties with varied evapotranspiration ratios. However, a dearth of empirical spatial information hampers the regulation place-specific processes. Therefore, this study proposed Local Use Planning framework for EvapoTranspiration Ratio regulations (ETR-LLUP), which was tested developments spatially-varied strategies in Dongjiang River Basin (DRB) Southern China. With first attempt at integrating Emerging Hot...
Abstract Vegetation ecosystems are sensitive to large-scale climate variability in transition zones. As a representative transitional zone Northwest China, Gansu is characterized by sharp and vegetation gradient. In this study, the spatiotemporal variations of over using satellite-based normalized difference index (NDVI) observations during 2000–2020. Results demonstrate that significant greening trend positively linked with factors through modulating water energy dynamics. zone, northern...
While the land use‐street network nexus is well acknowledged, evidence for one‐way impacts of land‐use patterns on street accessibility still inadequate. The measurements and lack systematic knowledge. Their empirical correlations also geographical variability, constraining site‐specific practices. Therefore, this study overcame aforementioned limitations by examining two‐level spatial models to formulate accessibility‐oriented plans, using a well‐developed Chinese city as an example....
Managing complex disaster risks requires interdisciplinary efforts. Breaking down silos between law, social sciences, and natural sciences is critical for all processes of risk reduction. This enables adaptive systems the rapid evolution AI technology, which has significantly impacted intersection law environments. Exploring how influences legal frameworks environmental management, while also examining considerations can confine within socioeconomic domain, essential. From a co-production...
The importance of easy wayfinding in complex urban settings has been recognized spatial planning. Empirical measurement and explicit representation wayfinding, however, have limited deciding configurations. Our study proposed tested an approach to improving by incorporating analysis forms the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Great Bay Area China. Wayfinding was measured indicator intelligibility using design network analysis. Urban configurations were quantified landscape metrics describe layouts...
<p>Digital water and energy maps allow fast information retrieval, big data analysis resources demand prediction for real time responses in 5-G networks. A regulatory systems framework is needed to enable promote integrated actions grounded on map-based feedback information, facilitate movements knowledge transfer security. At the same time, proposed system needs safeguard national security personal privacy when general public private sectors have access...
<p>Precipitation extremes are commonly linked with land use types. The UKCP18 Convection-Permitting Model (CPM) Projections at 5km high resolution simulation provide opportunities to investigate probable relationships between precipitation and Changes in the duration severity of extreme events can be landscape characteristics, which affect risk rapid local hydrological hazards.</p><p>Based on publicly accessible data a standard approach, Local...
<p>Based on the interplays between land use and water resources, green blue infrastructure (GBI) is a central landscape approach for hydrological environment management. However, evidence-based principles of regional GBI planning are not well developed. The Budyko framework widely used to explore balance in land-use change studies. It provides method relate changes streamflow variations based two indices – evaporative index (EI) dryness (DI). Using Dongjiang River...
