Manipulation and Analysis01:21

Manipulation and Analysis

286
GIS manipulation and analysis functions are vital for decision-making and planning. These activities range from data retrieval tasks, such as selecting information based on specific criteria, to advanced analytical techniques that address complex spatial problems.One critical GIS analysis method is overlaying, which combines multiple data layers to examine impacts. For example, overlaying a river-dammed lake boundary with road networks can identify affected infrastructure. Another common...

Levels of Use of a GIS01:29

Levels of Use of a GIS

354
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...

Design Example: Alignment of a Road Line Using GIS

331
The alignment of a road line using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a critical process in civil engineering, combining advanced technology with practical decision-making. This methodology begins with the collection of geospatial data, including information on land cover, geomorphology, drainage patterns, slope, and contour details. Such data is typically acquired through satellite imagery and GIS tools, offering a comprehensive understanding of the terrain.Once the data is gathered, it...

Design Example: Analyzing Capacity Contours for Flood Risk Assessment

285
Flood risk assessment involves careful planning and analysis to ensure the safety of communities near water retention structures. Capacity contours are a vital tool in this process, as they illustrate the potential spread of water at specific levels in a given area. In the context of building a bund across a small valley, these contours play a critical role in evaluating the safety of nearby residential areas.In this example, the bund is intended to store stormwater in the valley. The engineers...

Introduction to GIS01:28

Introduction to GIS

507
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are tools for storing, analyzing, and displaying spatial data alongside related attributes. Unlike traditional information systems that address general queries, GIS incorporates spatial components, enabling users to answer "where" and "how far." For example, GIS can process housing data linked to geographic locations like zip codes, allowing insights into population density or housing distribution through thematic maps.GIS integrates technologies such as...

GIS Software, Hardware, and Sources of GIS Data01:23

GIS Software, Hardware, and Sources of GIS Data

743
A Geographic Information System (GIS) combines specialized software and hardware to effectively manage, analyze, and present spatial and related data. GIS software includes critical functionalities such as a user interface for easy navigation, database management tools for handling spatial and attribute data, and data retrieval features for efficient access. Analytical tools transform raw data into insights, while display functions produce maps and reports in various formats for effective...

Area of Science:

  • Urban Planning
  • Environmental Geography
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Urban green spaces (UGS) are vital for distributional justice and achieving UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 11.2 and 11.7.
  • Traditional UGS accessibility studies often focus on walking and city-specific metrics, neglecting diverse transport modes and cross-country comparisons.
  • Existing methods like Euclidean distance overlook physical barriers, while network analysis, though complex, offers a more accurate approach considering transport variations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a replicable protocol for assessing UGS accessibility across multiple transport modes (walking, biking, public, private).
  • To evaluate 5- and 10-minute access and population coverage to UGS, supporting UN SDG targets.
  • To incorporate equity considerations by analyzing transport diversity, spatio-temporal barriers, and population reach.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a step-by-step protocol for UGS accessibility assessment.
  • Utilized network analysis to account for transport-specific speeds, road networks, and physical barriers.
  • Incorporated variables influencing travel speed, such as age, slope, sidewalk conditions, traffic intensity, and public transport infrastructure.

Main Results:

  • The protocol provides a detailed, step-by-step methodology for assessing UGS accessibility.
  • It enables the evaluation of population coverage and access times for various transport modes.
  • The approach addresses equity by considering diverse travel methods and potential barriers.

Conclusions:

  • The developed protocol ensures replicability and facilitates comparative studies of UGS accessibility across different urban areas.
  • It offers a robust framework for evaluating and enhancing equitable access to UGS, aligning with global sustainability objectives.
  • This method supports evidence-based urban planning for more inclusive and accessible green spaces.
