Cities are complex systems that constantly changing. This paper explores the capabilities of using crowdsourced street-level imagery in observing city dynamics. Visual walkability is an example such index, where different results may be obtained depending on locational and temporal factors. introduces a new index called Type Walkability (TVW) to characterize classify visual Inner London utilizing Mapillary images. The method based panoptic segmentation, pixel-level segmentation instance count used combination generate more robust indicators greenery, openness, crowdedness, pavement. Following this, TVW at street segment level calculated spatiotemporal dynamics explored. show significant seasonal variations. Specifically, many greenery-dominated streets become openness-dominated from autumn winter pavement-dominated crowdedness-dominated summer due vegetation phenology human activities. case study showed provides dynamic explainable perspective understanding urban design qualities for walkability. It facilitates connection between assessment built environment analysis derived images will inform planners governments building walkable further promote active transport.

Monitoring of mining-induced subsidence dynamics enables to the exploration and analysis changes in direction surface deformation caused by extraction underground resources. Both human activities geological environments affect these a large extent. LuTan-1 (LT-1) satellite as first SAR mission with L-band bistatic spaceborne China, provides continuous imagery for analyzing deformations through differential interferometry, offering valuable velocity results using stacking techniques. The bowl obtained from LT-1 closely align those Sentinel-1 almost same period Datong, China. Furthermore, we validated DInSAR GNSS data corresponding time frames. Notably, observed significant improvement quality accuracy datasets due in-orbit performance test. Finally, explored pertinent mining four different periods. These revealed substantial on shape spatial location bowls over time.

Precision beekeeping focuses on ICT approaches to collect data through various IoT solutions and systems, providing detailed information about individual bee colonies apiaries at a local scale. Since the flight radius of honeybees is equal several kilometers, it essential explore specific conditions selected area. To address this, aim this study was potential using crowdsourced combined with geographic system (GIS) support beekeepers’ decision-making larger This investigated possible methods for processing open geospatial from OpenStreetMap (OSM) database environmental analysis assessment suitability areas. The research included developing obtaining, classifying, analyzing OSM data. As result, structure retrieval were studied. Subsequently, an experimental spatial classifier developed applied evaluate territories beekeeping. For demonstration purposes, prototype web-based GIS application showcase results illustrate general concept solution.

Abstract Critical infrastructures provide essential services for our modern society. Large-scale natural hazards, such as floods or storms, can disrupt multiple critical at once. In addition, a localized failure of one service trigger cascade failures other dependent services. This makes it challenging to anticipate and prepare adequately direct indirect consequences events. Existing methods that are spatially explicit consider dependencies currently lack practicality, they require large amounts data. To address this gap, we propose novel method called DISruptionMap which analyzes complex disruptions infrastructure The proposed combines (i) spatial models assess with (ii) dependency model (cascading) disruptions. A fault tree-based approach is implemented, resulting in significant decrease the information required set up model. We demonstrate effectiveness case study examining impact an extreme flood on health, transport, power Cologne, Germany.
