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

open access: yesEarths 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

open access: yesGeographical 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

open access: yesEarthquake 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 ...

The Complex Network Theory‐Based Urban Land‐Use and Transport Interaction Studies

open access: yesComplexity, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
The research on complex networks offers novel insight into the analysis of complex urban systems. The objective of this article is to provide a review of complex network theory in urban land‐use and transport studies to date. Some traditional integrated studies of urban land‐use and traffic networks are summarized and analysed; related research gaps ...

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

open access: yesREGION, 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 ...

Policy Modeling and Applications: State‐of‐the‐Art and Perspectives

open access: yesComplexity, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
The range of application of methodologies of complexity science, interdisciplinary by nature, has spread even more broadly across disciplines after the dawn of this century. Specifically, applications to public policy and corporate strategies have proliferated in tandem. This paper reviews the most used complex systems methodologies with an emphasis on

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

open access: yesEuropean 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

Traffic Structure Optimization in Historic Districts Based on Green Transportation and Sustainable Development Concept

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
To perform the reasonable traffic structure in the historical districts and effectively alleviate the contradiction between limited traffic supply and rapid growth of the traffic demand in historical districts, a dynamic game model of traffic competition is established in this paper, aiming at the green transportation and sustainable development ...
