Flood Damage Evaluation for Buildings in a Small Island Developing State
Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract Flooding poses significant social and economic challenges for Small Island Developing States (SIDS). Despite frequent and damaging flood events, SIDS are underrepresented among global flood damage models. This study evaluated tree‐based learning algorithm performance for building damage prediction, using a new data set from 2012 Tropical ...

Leveraging User‐Generated Spatial Content for Urban Crime Analysis: A Data‐Driven Approach
Transactions in GIS, Volume 29, Issue 5, August 2025.ABSTRACT Street crimes in urban areas are influenced by the physical characteristics and built environment of a city, including road networks, visibility, lighting, and land use distribution. Traditionally, authorized data sources such as city maps have been used to investigate these urban form parameters. However, with advancements in technology, user‐

Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) for the Spatial Planning of Flood Evacuation Shelters in Jakarta, Indonesia [PDF]
, 2018 Volunteered geographic information (VGI) is frequently used in disaster management because of its capability to provide near real-time information. However, the potential of VGI in spatial planning is much less recognized, despite a number of advantages over traditional methods, in particular fast, timely and comprehensive data collection. This chapter

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 26, Issue 2, May 2025.ABSTRACT Recreational trails, including informal trails created by visitors, have a range of ecological impacts, but mapping and assessing these impacts can be expensive and time‐consuming. It is increasingly possible to harness publicly available data posted by park visitors to fitness platforms and combine it with other spatial and field data to help

Transactions in GIS, Volume 29, Issue 3, May 2025.ABSTRACT Just as the language used to express them, concepts constantly evolve, due to changing cultural norms, scientific progress, or major events that (re)shape our understanding of the world. For example, as humans increasingly contribute to disasters, e.g., by altering the landscape, the line between natural and anthropogenic disasters blurs. This

Mapping Noise Pollution Using Modelled and Crowdsourced Urban Noise Data
New Zealand Geographer, Volume 81, Issue 1, Page 37-51, April 2025.ABSTRACT Transport‐generated noise pollution significantly burdens population health. Quantifying noise distribution and identifying areas with elevated noise levels is crucial for designing effective policy measures. We apply the CNOSSOS‐EU numerical transport noise model to Pōneke Wellington, mapping traffic‐induced noise exposure with good spatial ...
