1. 1. 3D geospatial data requirements for simulating noise using the Nord2000 model: Case study of the impact of building façade types and roof configurations on simulated traffic noise levels

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Soraya Hosseinvash Azari; [2023]
   Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; noise simulation; traffic; Nord2000 model; building façade types; roof configurations; geospatial data; 3CIM; SoundPLAN; acoustic properties; urban areas; 3D city model; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : The European Union implements the Environmental Noise Directive (END), which offers a framework for evaluating and assessing environmental noise. All EU members are required to create strategic noise maps to inform the public about noise pollution and its effects. READ MORE

3. 2. Geometric comparison of 3D city models for daylight simulations

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Johannes Lande Nyborg; [2022]
   Keywords : Geography; Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; 3D city model; 3D building models; daylight access; daylight simulations; obstruction angle; free and open-source software; sustainable urban development; Geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : As cities keep densifying, essential resources such as daylight access become increasingly restricted. Therefore, prioritizing energy efficiency and enhancing the energy performance of our buildings is required for obtaining a sustainable urban environment. READ MORE

4. 3. An analysis of the relationships between urban green space and public health : A combination of GIS-based analysis and regression models

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för tema

   Author : Lingzi Liu; [2022]
   Keywords : GIS; Multiple linear regression; Public health; Urban green space; Urban planning;

   Abstract : Public health is an essential urban issue attracting the increasing attention of scholars and decision-makers while urban planning is an important mechanism to promote health since mounting evidence has shown the planning elements, such as urban green spaces (UGS), could have a positive influence. In previous literature, the studies concerning the impacts of UGSs can be divided into two aspects: the first is to reveal the relationships between UGSs and health using statistical models based on self-reported data, while the second is to take their relationships as presumption and visualize the spatial distributions of UGSs in a geographical information system (GIS) to indicate the existence of health inequalities.

5. 4. BIM to GIS-based building model conversion in support of urban energy simulation

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Zeyao Zhang; [2018]
   Keywords : BIM; GIS; CityGML; Energy Assessment; Building Energy Modelling; GEM; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : In the context of growing population and increasing greenhouse gas emissions, urban energy planning is becoming a topic of high concern. With the rapid pace of urban construction, it is claimed that 40% of America’s total energy consumption is accounted by the building sector. READ MORE

6. 5. Cykelplanering genom urban form : förväntade effekter på cyklande som resultat av flytten av Varbergs centralstation

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

   Author : Oscar Hall; [2015]
   Keywords : urban Morfologi; cykelplanering; stadsform; geodesign; GIS; rörelseanalys; formanalys; cykel; rörelsemönster; urban Form;

   Abstract : Detta arbete utforskar hur sammansättningen av olika stadsstrukturer påverkar hur vi cyklar i staden, och studeras genom en fallstudie av Varberg. Eftersom Västkustbanan genom Varberg planeras att grävas ned kommer centralstationen, den största målpunkten i staden, att flyttas 200 meter norrut. READ MORE
