1. 1. Using GIS and satellite data to assess access of green area for children living in growing cities

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Rebecca Borg; [2024]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Geographical Information System; Urban green space; children; schools; Malmö; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Urban green space (UGS) refers to open spaces within an urban context that are filled with greenery and nature. These can range from very small vegetation to expansive park areas. The common denominator is that they have proven to be beneficial for human health and well-being. Access to green spaces is also important for children. READ MORE

3. 2. Where there is road, there is fire (influence): An exploratory study on the influence of roads in the spatial patterns of Swedish wildfires of 2018

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Author : Gabriel Romeo Ferriols Pavico; [2023]
   Keywords : Geography; GIS; Wildfire; Fire Spatial Patterns; Road; Conformity; FWI; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : This study focuses on the Swedish wildfire season of 2018, when the country incurred ten times more than the average burnt area that occurred in previous years. The study aims to address a broad research question: Do roads influence the size of the burned area? This study fills the gap in research on the effects of roads in the spatial patterns of wildfires.
