  1. 36. Methodology for creating historical land use databases : a case study for ICOS-station Hyltemossa, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Adriana Bota; [2017]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; historical land-use databases; land-use; land cover; historical maps; geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis studies how modern spatio temporal databases of land use changes can be created based on historical maps. The entire study was conducted based on the available maps over the study area, in southern Sweden. READ MORE

  2. 37. Spatial runner : environmental and musical exposure effects on runners through an idealized routing network

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Leif Kuhre-Holmquist; [2017]
    Keywords : Traveling Salesman Problem; Physical Geography and Ecosystem Science; turn-restriction algorithm; GRVI; exercise; geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Physical activities such as running have previously been proven to be positive on the health of individuals who partake in such activities. Further studies have separately analyzed the positive benefits of natural environments, such as forests, and positive effects of music on runners. READ MORE

  3. 38. Preparation and analysis of crowdsourced GPS bicycling data : a study of Skåne, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Matthew Corney; [2017]
    Keywords : geomatics; bike data project; map matching; bicycle data; crowdsourced cycle data; Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; GIS; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Despite the growing volume of available transportation data and the efforts of many cities to increase cycling levels, there remains a lack of data on where people cycle. The use of GPS trajectories have now been used in cycle studies for several years, and more recently large, crowdsourced datasets of GPS recorded cycle trips have become available and of interest to transportation and planning departments.

  4. 39. Comparisons between different multi-criteria decision analysis techniques for disease susceptibility mapping

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Shuzhi Dong; [2016]
    Keywords : TOPSIS; multi-criteria decision analysis; AHP; OWA; disease susceptibility mapping; physical geography and ecosystem analysis; geomatics; Technology and Engineering; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Geographic information system multi-criteria decision analysis (GIS-MCDA) procedure can combine criterion maps together and associated the criterion weights to acquire an overall value for each spatial location in the research area. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), Ordered Weighted averaging (OWA) are three generic algorithms of multi-criteria decision analysis.

  5. 40. Development of methods for flood analysis and response in a Web-GIS for disaster management

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Ludvig Forslund; [2016]
    Keywords : fluvial flood analysis; dynamic street network analysis; physical geography; Web-GIS; flood disaster response; geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : In this thesis, two methods were developed for a web-based GIS to make the spatial perspective of flood disaster risk reduction and response accessible. Flood disaster can cause major disruption to the street network, which further affects the emergency services and evacuation work in finding the safest and fastest routes. READ MORE
