1. 1. Topological and Scaling Analysis of Geospatial Big Data

   Författare :Ding Ma; Bin Jiang; Shaowen Wang; Högskolan i Gävle; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Third definition of fractal; scaling; topology; power law; head tail breaks; ht-index; complex network; geospatial big data; natural cities; natural streets; Hållbar stadsutveckling; Sustainable Urban Development;

   Sammanfattning : Geographic information science and systems face challenges related to understanding the instinctive heterogeneity of geographic space, since conventional geospatial analysis is mainly founded on Euclidean geometry and Gaussian statistics. This thesis adopts a new paradigm, based on fractal geometry and Paretian statistics for geospatial analysis. LÄS MER

3. 2. Social-ecological resilience and planning: an interdisciplinary exploration

   Författare :Cathy Wilkinson; Johan Colding; Thomas Elmqvist; Libby Porter; Yvonne Rydin; Catherine Wilkinson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; social-ecological resilience; strategic spatial planning; urban governance; ecosystem services; Melbourne; Stockholm; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

   Sammanfattning : Despite considerable expansion in the scope and function of the state with respect to environmental protection, the world’s biological diversity and ecosystem services continue to deteriorate. Finding ways to better govern human-nature relations in cities is an important part of addressing this decline. LÄS MER

4. 3. Smart Cities and Big Data Analytics : A Data-Driven Decision-Making Perspective

   Författare :Ahmed M. Shahat Osman; Ahmed Elragal; Anna Ståhlbröst; Eli Hustad; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; smart cities; big data analytics; data-driven decision-making; Informationssystem; Information Systems;

   Sammanfattning : The phenomenon of digitalization has led to the emergence of a new term—big data. Big data refers to the vast volumes of digital data characterized by its volume, velocity, variety, veracity, and value. LÄS MER

5. 4. Nature Routines of Children as Leverage Point for Sustainable Social-Ecological Urbanism : Connecting childhood and biosphere to design sustainable civilizations in the human habitat

   Författare :Matteo Giusti; Stephan Barthel; Lars Marcus; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nature routines; strong sustainability; sustainable social-ecological urbanism; connection to nature; children; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling; Sustainability Science;

   Sammanfattning : Strong sustainability requires enhanced knowledge and understanding of complex social-ecological interactions, but it also implies a ‘novel’ conceptualization of the relationship between humans and nature, one in which individuals perceive themselves as embedded members of the Biosphere. The aim of this Licentiate thesis is to investigate the validity of a strategy that is centered on designing the urban green infrastructure to nurture such human-nature relationship in children’s attitudes.

7. 5. Networks of urban interaction - Growth and centrality in the complex geography of urban activity

   Författare :Alexander Hellervik; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; accessibility; power law; urban activity; centrality; urban growth; transport infrastructure; spatial interaction; complex networks; Zipf’s law;

   Sammanfattning : How cities and regions grow and decline depend on technological, social and economic factors. Understanding the interplay of these forces is central in research efforts aiming to improve urban and transport planning. LÄS MER
