    Author : Andreas Eriksson; [2022]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Habitat Suitability; Remote Sensing; Image Classification; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Remote sensing image classification is used in land cover, forest type and tree species classifications but rarely considered for habitat suitability modelling of animal and plant species. It is instead common that land cover products derived from remote sensing data are used in these modelling problems, even though satellite imagery can provide more detailed information. READ MORE

  5. 14. Assessing the health potential of urban green space in an urban planning and design context : A comparative case study in the city of Stockholm on differences in accessibility, quality, and inclusivity

    Keywords : Sustainable Development; urban green space; urban planning; public health; inequality; inclusivity; GIS; comparative case study; urban design;

    Abstract : Urban green spaces (UGS) can produce health-improving (salutogenic) and equigenic effects that narrow the health gap between disadvantaged and affluent neighbourhoods. Yet, the magnitude of such effects relies on the quality of a UGS. Various studies have found UGS quality to be worse in low-income neighbourhoods. READ MORE

    Abstract : Dagens skogsbruk har höga krav på sig, både i termer av att leverera råvara på ett kostnadseffektivt sätt och i att ta hänsyn till omkringliggande miljö. Skogsbruket bedrivs i regel med stora maskiner som hanterar tunga laster med virke och detta gör att man riskerar körskador. READ MORE
