3D visualization of zoning plans
(2011)Traditionally, zoning plans have been represented in 2D. However, visualizing a zoning plan in 2D has several limitations and for public a zoning plan in 2D is abstract. Here, 3D can help in the understanding. The goal ... -
A development framework for geo-enabled mobile applications based on HTML5; A Rwanda case study and prototype
(2012)A wide range of apps for the various mobile platforms has emerged, but these are often platform-specific. How to systematically develop geo-enabled apps, based on HTML5 that offer different spatial functions to support ... -
A geo-computational workflow for automatically classifying urban land cover using deep learning and street view imagery
(2020)Due to urbanization, there is a growing demand for knowledge on urban patterns and their dynamics at multiple spatial scales. Reliable information on urban land cover is increasingly important when dealing with this growing ... -
A GIS approach to monitor accessibility of public urban space for the elderly
(2014)This case study describes a GIS approach to determine if the spatial characteristics of a city meet the standards that need to be met to make the city as accessible as possible for elderly people with physical limitations. ... -
A method for creating web GIS assessments from the user perspective
(2020)Web GIS assessments differ, because of the varying product characteristics, user types and user goals. Assessment developers have to invent the wheel repeatedly, because a standardized method is lacking for web GIS assessments ... -
A research towards completing the asset information life cycle - An analysis of the relationships between data exchange, BIM and the asset life cycle and the solutions to overcome existing issues at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol.
(2013)Building Information Modeling (BIM) is an actual topic in the building industry and involves the full life cycle of an asset. The information that belongs to that asset changes during the life cycle and is used in different ... -
A web-based application to increase public awareness about wind turbine site selection challenges: A case study for the Netherlands
(2016)The Netherlands has challenges to meet the climate goals in 2020. The public opinion and awareness of measures to reduce CO2 emissions is one of the challenges. This public opinion is mostly based on subjective reasoning, ... -
Action spaces: a GIS based analysis. To assess the community action space of the Galapagos Island population using GIS based spatial-temporal pattern recognition techniques.
(2017)One of the main problems the Galapagos Islands are facing are the changing mobility patterns of the population, from environmental friendly methods (foot, bicycle) to environmental unfriendly (taxi, car and bus). The travel ... -
Adaptive Voronoi Masking. A method to protect confidential discrete spatial data
(2020)Geomasks have been developed to assure the protection of individuals in a discrete spatial point data set by transferring the data points to a new location. Several obfuscating techniques exist but the risk of false ... -
Amsterdam and the spatial justice debate: Studying the distributional equality of urban greenery
(2017)Green spaces are crucial for urban functioning, since they provide many indispensable benefits. Considering these benefits, urban green spaces (UGS) should be equally distributed over the population. However, this is not ... -
An Evaluation Model for GI SMEs migrating to geocloud services
(2019)Summary The current thesis follows the ‘Design Science Research Methodology’ (DSRM) guidelines for the academic assessment of new IT innovations presented by Hevner et al. (2004). This work will contain six chapters: 1) ... -
Analysis and Quantification of Urban Bicycle Networks: The Example of Copenhagen
(2022)This research aimed to analyze and quantify the changes in Copenhagen’s urban bicycle network, which has recently been improved in favor of cyclists. My methods are rooted in network science and based on data from ... -
Applying open GIS solutions in glider competitions
(2015)This research report concerns the real-time tracking of gliders in a competition. The objective of the research was to establish an open data exchange mechanism for real-time glider competition data. The research investigated ... -
Assessing organisational aspects of Sub-national SDIs: The case of the Balearic Islands and Catalonia
(2011)This research explores from what organisational experiences and developments the Balearic Islands’ Spatial Data Infrastructures could benefit from Catalonia’s SDI. Four case studies are the basis of the research: the SDI ... -
Assessing River Dynamics Using a Timeseries of UAV Imagery. A case study of the Petit Buëch river in Hautes – Alpes, Southern France
(2019)The start of photogrammetry can be dated back to the XIX century, but this field has seen a narrow development for almost 150 years, attributable to the poor results obtained despite the huge resources required to achieve ... -
Assessing technological possibility against societal need: smart sketchmaps for fit-for-purpose land administration
(2017)This research seeks to explore the potential of smart sketchmaps for delivering fit-for-purpose land administration in Eastern Africa, especially by assessing whether smart sketchmaps include fit-for-purpose land administration ...
