di Girasole, Eleonora Giovene (author), Cannatella, D. (author)The concept of risk has become increasingly complex, and has been used not only in relation to the natural features of a region, but also to its socio-economic context. In this conceptualization, the latter directly influences the capacity of a community to cope with, recover from, and adapt to natural hazards. Conceiving vulnerability as a...journal article 2017

Paprotny, D. (author), Terefenko, Pawel (author)Polish coastal zone is thought to be one of the most exposed to sea level rise in Europe. With mean sea levels expected to increase between 28 and 98 cm by the end of the century, and storms increasing in severity, accurate estimates of the consequences of those phenomena are needed. Recent advances in quality and availability of spatial data in...journal article 2017

Echevarria Icaza, L. (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author), van der Hoeven, F.D. (author)The purpose of this research is to analyse the thermal behaviour of South Holland provincial parks during heat waves, in order to provide design adaptation guidelines to increase their cooling capacity over the hotspots present in their urban surroundings. This research analyses the thermal behaviour of different land use patches (forests,...journal article 2016

Gil, J.A. (author)This thesis proposes a framework for evaluating the mobility potential and performance of urban areas in the city region, as an instrument to support urban development that contributes positively to regional sustainable mobility objectives. The research takes a quantitative approach, modelling and measuring the characteristics of a city-region...doctoral thesis 2016

Oliveti, M (author), van der Spek, S.C. (author), Quak, C.W. (author)With the help of technologies such as GPS tracks, GIS and open data is now possible to study people travel behaviour in a new way. Nowadays, large datasets can be easily handled thanks to databases and better visualized using GIS. Moreover, the availability of GPS data, open data and VGI makes accessible a lot of new information, which was not...conference paper 2016

Nijhuis, S. (author)There is evidence that the potential of GIS is still underutilized in landscape design and research due to a lack of awareness and prejudice. This paper explores some concepts of GIS-based analysis which link to the very heart of landscape design in a natural and intuitive way. Hence the possibility to break down barriers of using GIS in...conference paper 2016

Nijhuis, S. (author)Het centrale thema van dit artikel is de toepassing van Geografische Informatiesystemen, of kortweg GIS, als ICT-instrument voor ruimtelijk onderzoek naar historische buitenplaatsenlandschappen met als doel kennis te vergroten over de historische aanleg, ruimtelijke samenhang en ontwikkeling door de tijd. Deze vorm van onderzoek kan betrekking...journal article 2016

Nijhuis, S. (author)Despite its widespread availability there is evidence that GIS is underused in the realm of landscape design research. Though recognized as a useful tool for mapping and planning, the potential of GIS is often still underutilized due to a lack of awareness and prejudice. This paper explores some concepts of GIS-based analysis which link to the...journal article 2016

Marchesini, I. (author), Santangelo, M. (author), Guzzetti, F. (author), Cardinali, M. (author), Bucci, F. (author)Landslide abundance is controlled by multiple factors, including the presence and attitude of beddings, foliation, faults, joints and cleavage systems. Few attempts were made to exploit bedding attitude (BA) data (or data on similar types of rock discontinuities) in statistical or physically based models for regional slope stability analysis. A...conference paper 2015

Ye, Y.E. (author), Van Nes, A. (author)Many new towns are established in China with the intention of providing desirable places to live. Nevertheless, these new towns often lack the flourishing street life, small businesses, and variety of social activities that old towns have to offer. This paper explores the spatial reasons why old towns tend to perform socio-economically better...journal article 2014

The resulting (differential) settlements, associated with soil property transitions, may damage underground pipe infrastructure, such as drinking water distribution sys- tems. The work presented here offers an approach for the prediction of pipe failure...journal article 2014

Nijhuis, S. (author)Landscape architects use analogue and digital media to understand and design urban areas and the countryside. Because new media in particular enable us to use different approaches to thinking and communicating about spatial design issues, they are contributing to the development of the field.

Sokmenoglu, A. (author), Sonmez, N.O. (author)In this paper we explore the land-use patterns of a historical mixed-use quarter of Istanbul by focusing on the reciprocal relationships of housing and commercial uses. We are concerned with the distribution of land-use patterns based on spatial adjacency and land-use patterns within the buildings. We measure reciprocal relationships of housing...conference paper 2013
