This book was released on 2011-11-10T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I sistemi informativi geografici (GIS) sono giunti ad una fase matura di sviluppo contraddistinta dal loro utilizzo in molteplici campi dell'analisi e del governo del territorio. Questo libro propone un approccio di base allo studio dei GIS introducendo gradualmente i diversi concetti legati alle tecniche ed ai metodi geocomputazionali. La principale finalità del volume è quella di trasmettere i fondamenti della Geographical Information Science considerandola come una nuova disciplina nel più vasto campo delle scienze territoriali. Il concetto di fondo, dal quale la trattazione muove, è riconducibile alla necessità di superare la considerazione dei GIS quali meri strumenti per la rappresentazione tematica del territorio, ma cominciare a ritenerli come "ambienti" innovativi per lo sviluppo di nuove dimensioni della conoscenza territoriale. Attraverso i GIS è oggi possibile leggere le dinamiche, modellizzare le evoluzioni e descrivere l'andamento di fenomeni urbani e territoriali una volta difficili da cogliere o da rappresentare. Nel testo vengono proposte alcune interessanti applicazioni che mostrano l'importanza di programmare i GIS per conformarli quali strumenti di supporto alla decisione nella gestione e protezione della città. Nei capitoli conclusivi sono descritte esperienze progettuali che presentano l'impiego del GIS 3D e del temporal GIS e che consentono di intravedere interessanti prospettive di sviluppo in questo innovativo campo disciplinare.

Rivolge da tempo la propria attività di ricerca allo studio dei sistemi urbani e territoriali ed in particolare alle trasformazioni indotte dalle tecnologie infotelematiche ed alle nuove dimensioni cognitive che i sistemi informativi geografici offrono alla gestione del territorio.

Download or read book Smart Planning Sustainability and Mobility in the Age of Change written by Rocco Papa and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-06-12 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an overview of sustainability and urban mobility in the context of urban planning – topics that are of considerable interest in the development of smart cities. Environmental sustainability is universally recognized as a fundamental condition for any urban policy or urban management activity, while mobility is essential for the survival of complex urban systems. The new opportunities offered by innovations in the mobility of people, goods and information, as well as radically changing interactions and activities are transforming cities. Including contributions by urban planning scholars, the book provides an up-to-date picture of the latest studies and innovative policies and practices in Italy, of particular interest due to its spatial, functional and social peculiarities. Sustainability and mobility must form the basis of “smart planning” – a new dimension of urban planning linked to two main innovations: procedural innovation in the management of territorial transformations and the technological innovation of the generation, processing and distribution of data (big data) for the creation of new "digital environments" such as GIS, BIM, models of augmented and mixed reality, useful for describing changes in human settlement in real time.

Download or read book Land Use Transport Interaction Models written by Rubén Cordera and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transport and the spatial location of population and activities have been important themes of study in engineering, social sciences and urban and regional planning for many decades. However, an integrated approach to the modelling of transport and land use has been rarely made, and common practice has been to model both phenomena independently. This book presents an introduction to the modelling of land use and transport interaction (LUTI), with a theoretical basis and a presentation of the broad state of the art. It also sets out the steps for building an operational LUTI model to provide a concrete application. The authors bring extensive experience in this cross-disciplinary field, primarily for an academic audience and for professionals seeking a thorough introduction.

Download or read book Designing Accessibility Instruments written by Cecilia Silva and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-24 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The integration of land use and transport planning is key to making cities sustainable and liveable. Accessibility can provide an effective framework for this integration. However, today there is a significant gap between the advances in scientific knowledge on accessibility and its effective application in planning practice. In order to close this gap, Designing Accessibility Instruments introduces a novel methodology for the joint assessment and development of accessibility instruments by researchers and practitioners. The book: provides a theoretical and professional analysis of the main concepts behind the definition, use and measurement of accessibility; undertakes a comprehensive inventory and critical analysis of accessibility instruments, focusing on the bottlenecks in their transposition to planning practice; introduces and applies a novel methodology for the assessment and improvement of the practical use and usefulness of accessibility instruments; presents six in-depth illustrative case study applications of the methodology, representing a range of cities with different geographical and institutional settings, and different levels of urban and transport planning integration. The book is supported by a companion website – www.accessibilityplanning.eu – which extrapolates its content to a broader scope and keeps it updated and valid with new iterations of the methodology and further advances on the initial and new case studies.
