1. 21. Understanding Mobility and Transport Modal Disparities Using Emerging Data Sources: Modelling Potentials and Limitations

   Författare :Yuan Liao; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; data mining; geographical information systems; mobility models; big trip data; transport modes; traffic data; social media data;

   Sammanfattning : Transportation presents a major challenge to curb climate change due in part to its ever-increasing travel demand. Better informed policy-making requires up-to-date empirical mobility data to model viable mitigation options for reducing emissions from the transport sector. LÄS MER

3. 22. Primary Production in African Drylands : Quantifying Supply and Demand Using Earth Observation and Socio-ecological Data

   Författare :Abdulhakim Abdi; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Net primary production; Africa; Drylands; Coupled human and natural systems; Human-Environment Relations; Food security; Earth observation; Remote Sensing;

   Sammanfattning : The human-environment connection in the mostly rural drylands of sub-Saharan Africa forms a complex, interlinked system that provides ecosystem services. This system is susceptible to climatic variability that impacts the supply of its products, and high population growth, which impacts the demand for these products. LÄS MER

4. 23. Urban Mobility Transitions : Governing through Experimentationin Bristol and New York City

   Författare :Emilia Smeds; Jenny McArthur; Helena Titheridge; Tim Schwanen; Yvonne Rydin; University College London Engineering and Public Policy Technology Department of Science; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; transport; transitions; urban governance; experimentation; mobility;

   Sammanfattning : Transitions away from car-dominance is one of the key debates in urban research, policy and practice today. Car-free public space, cycling and convenient public transport services are widely seen as desirable, yet the reconfiguration of our streets and transport networks has been incremental. LÄS MER

5. 24. Capturing travel entities to facilitate travel behaviour analysis : A case study on generating travel diaries from trajectories fused with accelerometer readings

   Författare :Adrian Corneliu Prelipcean; Yusak Octavius Susilo; Gyözö Gidofalvi; Stefan van der Spek; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; travel diary automation; trajectory segmentation; travel data collection; travel diary collection system evaluation and comparison; Geodesy and Geoinformatics; Geodesi och geoinformatik;

   Sammanfattning : The increase in population, accompanied by an increase in the availability of travel opportunities have kindled the interest in understanding how people make use of the space around them and their opportunities. Understanding the travel behaviour of individuals and groups is difficult because of two main factors: the travel behaviour's wide coverage, which encompasses different research areas, all of which model different aspects of travel behaviour, and the difficulty of obtaining travel diaries from large groups of respondents, which is imperative for analysing travel behaviour and patterns.

7. 25. Commercialization of nature through tourism

   Författare :Lusine Margaryan; Peter Fredman; Sandra Wall-Reinius; Nina Prebensen; Mittuniversitetet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; nature-based tourism; commercialization; operational setting; servicescape;

   Sammanfattning : This dissertation contributes to developing knowledge on the commercialization of natural resources through tourism. This is achieved by means of understanding the main avenues through which natural resources are commercialized, and analyzing the operational setting of tourism firms. LÄS MER
