Achieving Sustainable Smart Cities through Geospatial Data-Driven Approaches

Sustainability, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(2), С. 640 - 640

Опубликована: Янв. 11, 2024

In recent years, the concept of smart cities has become increasingly important in pursuit sustainable development goals. general, common urban challenges have been addressed through smart-city services, and new perspectives for more emerged. To realize full potential such environments, geospatial approaches used as a focal point, offering plethora applications that contribute to better understanding innovation potentials. Nevertheless, although significant progress made, different problems may arise when available technologies resources are not understood or even their potentialities properly capitalized. This article reviews state art field, highlighting success cases remaining exploiting data-driven strategies, particularly leveraging geographic information systems, satellites, distributed sensors produce process data datasets scenarios. Moreover, organized perspective area is provided this article, well future trends, supporting research efforts empowering future.

Seasonal surface urban heat island analysis based on local climate zones

Ecological Indicators, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 159, С. 111669 - 111669

A fundamental aspect of ensuring urban sustainability is a comprehensive understanding the driving mechanisms behind heat island (UHI) phenomenon. The primary objective this study to investigate spatiotemporal variations and underlying surface (SUHI) in Hefei. employed local climate zone (LCZ) method analyze land morphology spatial structure for 2014 2021. Subsequently, calculations were conducted derive intensity (SUHII), normalized difference built-up index (NDBI), vegetation (NDVI), gravity water (GWI), building fraction (BSF), road density (RD), poi (PD), population (PPD). exploration by which factors influence SUHI was utilizing both Pearson correlation analysis geographic detector models. results revealed that sparsely built (LCZ 9) low plants D) predominantly characterized natural coverage areas, respectively. summer season distinguished most extensive distribution highest SUHII levels. Significantly, consistently exceeded those LCZs when contrasted LCZs. Large lowrise 8) displayed levels, whereas G) exhibited lowest values. NDBI took precedence showed positive with SUHI. Among socio-economic factors, height (BH) demonstrated superior explanatory capability compared other variables. interaction between NDVI maximized explanation under different seasons. findings will serve as critical insights planners policymakers, enabling development scientifically-based efficacious strategies mitigate

Urban Heat Island Mitigation and Urban Green Spaces: Testing a Model in the City of Padova (Italy)

Land, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 12(2), С. 476 - 476

Опубликована: Фев. 15, 2023

The urban heat island (UHI) is a critical issue in most urbanised areas. Spatial variation of air temperature and humidity influences human thermal comfort, the settling rate atmospheric pollutants, energy demand for cooling. UHIs can be particularly harmful to health there are numerous studies that link mortality morbidity with extreme events, worsened by UHIs. difference between city centres surrounding countryside, which accentuated summer months at night, result not only greater production anthropogenic but mainly due properties surfaces. use vegetation, particular tree planting, one possible strategies contrast effects. In order analyse mitigation effects produced green spaces Padova, municipality northeast Italy, simulations variations their spatial distribution were carried out using i-Tree Cool Air model. High-resolution RGBir aerial photos processed produce canopy permeability map model was applied on 10 m × grid over entire city, producing raster aboveground temperatures. A hot July day recorded temperatures 35 °C 3 p.m. 28 reference weather station chosen test. daytime, results show differences up almost open impervious cover (squares, streets) areas under canopy. At simulated slightly cooler than those station, while sealed surfaces maintain 4.4 higher. study aimed testing applicability as tool predicting relation land cover. potentially used compare different forest greening planning scenarios, however, further research necessary assess reliability predictions.
