Abstract Although the decline in level of internal migration has been focus growing scholarly attention, little attention paid to countries with increasing or stable intensities. As a result, it is not clear why declining some but others. This paper seeks address this gap by establishing variations trends 18 OECD and determining economic, demographic social factors underpinning them. We assemble time series annual interregional intensities from 1996 2018. find that all non‐European report...
Hedonic estimations of the effect transport infrastructure on property prices vary widely. This high variability demonstrates a deficit in our understanding these relationships, limits utility econometrics for valuation urban markets, and development implementation effective fair market-based policy tools. Several avenues may lead to improved consistency: re-consideration accessibility, inclusion design characteristics, assessment spatial dependence heterogeneity, consideration geographic...
In the digital era of big data, data analytics and smart cities, a new generation planning support systems is emerging. The Rapid Analytics Interactive Scenario Explorer novel system developed to help planners policy-makers determine likely land value uplift associated with provision city infrastructure. toolkit was following user-centred research approach including iterative design, prototyping evaluation. Tool development informed by user inputs obtained through series co-design workshops...
One of the challenges in creating plans for sustainable urban futures is ability to work across government agencies and break down traditional barriers truly collaborative planning. Typically, metropolitan planning has been carried out by different that are separate their mandate strategies. This siloed approach city means there problems coordination sequencing critical projects. To address this problem, we investigate use Steinitz geodesign framework GeodesignHub.com software supporting...
Despite a growing body of literature on the economics wildland fire suppression, effect development pattern in wildland-urban interface (WUI) has received only cursory treatment. We model relationship between suppression expenditures and spatial residential using data from 281 fires northern Rocky Mountains. find that WUI is dependent development. Our results suggest policies to control can be nearly as effective completely restrict <i>(JEL C51, Q23)</i>
Dispersed development is often associated with negative externalities and ensuing external costs. As a consequence, there global need for informed decision making on issues of land-use change conversion that includes the influences differing urban forms costs public services. In this paper we quantify relationship between cost services form through an econometric model provision safety county in Mountain West USA. The research extends previous modeling to include spatial index representing...
Abstract. Understanding the flows of people moving through built environment is a vital source information for planners and policy makers who shape our cities. Smart phone applications enable to trace themselves city these data can potentially be then aggregated visualised show hot spots trajectories macro urban movement. In this paper aim develop procedures cleaning, aggregating visualising human movement translating into relevant information. conducting research we explore using bicycle...
Kilometres of high-value residential real estate have been created through the development canal estates in low-lying coastal areas Southeast Queensland, Australia, since 1970s. Many these are predicted to be affected by combined effects climate change: sea level rise, storm surge and severe weather events. This research identifies perceptions understanding vulnerability change residents one estate. It compares effectiveness four participatory visual methods for information exchange dialogue...
To realize the full potential of crowdsourced data collected by smartphone applications in urban research and planning, there is a need for parsimonious, reliable, computationally temporally efficient processing routines. The literature indicates that opportunities brought generating low-cost, bottom-up, fine spatial temporal scale data, are also accompanied issues related to quality, bias, privacy concerns low accessibility. Using an exemplar case RiderLog, GPS tracked bicycling this paper...
Crowdsourced data hold great potential in creating metrics which can support city planning. Devices such as smartphones, with their sensor capabilities including GPS be used to capture a wealth of mobility at the scale individual trips. However, use crowdsourced for planning is still hindered by doubts about accuracy, objectivity and representativeness. This study proposes validation process five criteria – geographic coverage, origin-destination match, demographic distance–duration...
Abstract This article systematically reviews and synthesises academic, peer‐reviewed literature to assess the state of knowledge concerning socio‐economic vulnerability climate change impacts environmental hazards in N ew S outh W ales Q ueensland, A ustralia. It focuses upon empirical research that identifies factors associated with vulnerable subpopulations. Using systematic review methods, 35 articles met inclusion criteria. These are analysed according their general characteristics,...
This paper documents the use of geographic information science based planning support systems to evaluate effects infrastructure development on residential growth and resulting public service expenditure. The case example presented here investigates impacts associated with a large water project. effect is evaluated by comparing trends within areas different levels supply sewerage services. changing patterns services expenditure spatially explicit model linking urban form revenues,...
This article examines roles, opportunities, and challenges for Indigenous land management in rapidly developing landscapes through a case study of Bunya Country Aboriginal Corporation, not-for-profit organization on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. An analysis data collected semistructured interviews, participant observation, secondary sources reveals that managers work variety roles to manage issues affecting local environment cultural heritage sites. These efforts are challenged...
Islands provide the opportunity to explore management regimes and research issues related isolation, uniqueness, integrity of ecological systems. K’gari (Fraser Island) is an Australian World Heritage property listed based on its outstanding natural value, specifically, unique wilderness characteristics diversity ecosystem types. Our goal was draw understanding cultural environment as a foundation which build model that includes First Nations Peoples in future research. involved analysis...
