2. 1. Metaheuristic Algorithms for Spatial Multi-Objective Decision Making

   Author : Olive Niyomubyeyi; Centrum för geografiska informationssystem (GIS-centrum); []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geographic Information System GIS ; Multi-Objective Optimization MOO ; Spatial Decision Making; Metaheuristic Algorithms; Disaster management; Urban planning;

   Abstract : Spatial decision making is an everyday activity, common to individuals and organizations. However, recently there is an increasing interest in the importance of spatial decision-making systems, as more decision-makers with concerns about sustainability, social, economic, environmental, land use planning, and transportation issues discover the benefits of geographical information.

4. 2. Modelling, mapping and visualisation of flood inundation uncertainties

   Author : Nancy Joy Lim; Stefan Seipel; S. Anders Brandt; Eva A. U. Sahlin; Matthew Wilson; Högskolan i Gävle; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cartography; flood; hydraulic modelling; GIS; map; uncertainty; visualisation; GIS; hydraulisk modellering; karta; kartografi; osäkerhet; visualisering; översvämning; Hållbar stadsutveckling; Sustainable Urban Development;

   Abstract : Flood maps showing extents of predicted flooding for a given extreme event have wide usage in all types of spatial planning tasks, as well as serving as information material for the public. However, the production processes that these maps undergo (including the different data, methods, models and decisions from the persons generating them), which include both Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and hydraulic modelling, affect the map’s content, and will be reflected in the final map.

5. 3. Geo-environmental considerations in transport infrastructure planning

   Author : Caroline Karlsson; Bo Olofsson; Ulla Mörtberg; Joanne Robison Fernlund; João Manuel Coutinho Rodrigues; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Roads; Railways; Geology; GIS; Decision support; Modelling; Land and Water Resources Engineering; Mark- och vattenteknik;

   Abstract : Transport infrastructure constitutes one of the key factors to a country’s economic growth. Investment in new transport infrastructure might cause potential environmental impacts, and if a project has several alternative corridors open for suggestion then each alternative corridor will have a different impact on the environment.

6. 4. UNDERSTANDING URBAN PATTERNS Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches

   Author : Vânia Aparecida Ceccato; KTH; []
   Keywords : urban quality; GIS; spatial statistics;

   Abstract : In this thesis, the main field of study is urban patternsand the methodological issues involving the analysis of spatialdata across urban space. Four particular aspects are chosen toillustrate the dynamics of urban space, using Stockholm Countyas case study. READ MORE

7. 5. Out of the wild : studies on the forest as a recreational resource for urban residents

   Author : Olof Olsson; Kerstin Westin; Annika Nordlund; Louise Eriksson; Gun Lidestav; Cecil Konijnendijk van den Bosch; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; forest values and beliefs; GIS; public participation; recreation; social forest qualities; spatial interaction; urban forest; urban fringe forest; urban planning; urbanization; Social and Economic Geography; kulturgeografi;

   Abstract : This thesis explores and analyzes the demand for and supply of forests in and near urban areas from a social perspective. Specific focus is directed towards recreational qualities of forests located just outside urban borders, that is, urban fringe forests. To this end, the thesis is based on four empirical research papers. READ MORE
