Coupled Urban Change and Natural Hazard Consequence Model for Community Resilience Planning. [PDF]

Earths Future, 2022
Abstract This paper presents a new coupled urban change and hazard consequence model that considers population growth, a changing built environment, natural hazard mitigation planning, and future acute hazards. Urban change is simulated as an agent‐based land market with six agent types and six land use types. Agents compete for parcels with successful

A Multi‐objective Optimization Approach for Disaggregating Employment Data

Geographical Analysis, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 300-324, April 2023., 2023
Abstract In many countries, including South Africa, data on employment is rarely available on a downscaled level, such as building level, and is only available on less detailed levels, such as municipal level. The aim of this research was to develop a methodology to disaggregate the employment data that is available at an aggregate level to a ...

An open‐source framework for regional earthquake loss estimation using the city‐scale nonlinear time history analysis

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 806-831, May 2020., 2020
Regional seismic damage simulation of buildings provides decision‐makers with important information for earthquake disaster prevention and mitigation. Utilizing nonlinear time history analysis using multiple‐degree‐of‐freedom (MDOF) models for buildings, and the next‐generation performance‐based earthquake engineering, an open‐source general‐purpose ...

Modelling hedonic residential rents for land use and transport simulation while considering spatial effects

Journal of Transport and Land Use, 2010
The application of UrbanSim requires land or real estate price data for the study area. These can be difficult to obtain, particularly when tax assessor data and data from commercial sources are unavailable. The article discusses an alternative method of

STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE MICRO-SIMULATION APPROACH TO ANALYSIS OF RESIDENTIAL MOBILITY

European Journal of Geography, 2023
Over the last 20 years, urban micro-simulation models have been the focus of much research. The advent of big data and the solid theoretical base represented by random utility theory, consumer theory and operationalized by discrete choice models seemed ...

Simulation of urban development in the City of Rome: Framework, methodology, and problem solving

Journal of Transport and Land Use, 2010
In Italy’s case, the implementation of the UrbanSIM model involved the territory of Rome, including the municipalities of Rome and Fiumicino. The main goal was to build scenarios regarding the future of economic deconcentration.

Scale effect in a LUTI model of Brussels: challenges for policy evaluation

European Journal of Transport and Infrastructure Research, 2017
The aim of this paper is to assess the reliability of policy evaluation based on Land Use and Transport Interactions models, relative to the choice of the Basic Spatial Units. An UrbanSim (+ MATsim) model applied to Brussels (Belgium) is used as the case

Forecasting jobs location choices by Discrete Choice Models: A sensitivity analysis to scale and implications for LUTI models

REGION, 2015
This paper proposes an empirical analysis of the sensitivity of Discrete Choice Model (DCM) to the size of the spatial units used as choice set (which relates to the well-known Modifiable Areal Unit Problem ...
