Active teaching and learning in GI sciences: lessons learned from the BSc. course Open Urban Data Governance

A new active teaching and learning approach has been implemented in the BSc course Open Urban Data Governance.. This course is part of the minor Spatial Computing for Digital Twinning in the Bachelor of Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences at the Faculty of Architecture and The Built Environment, TU Delft, and offered TU wide as an...

Societal costs and benefits of high-value open government data: a case study in the Netherlands

Much research has emphasised the benefits of open government data, and especially high-value data. The G8 Open Data Charter defines high-value data as data that improve democracy and encourage the innovative reuse of the particular data. Thus, governments worldwide invest resources to identify potential high-value datasets and to publish these...

Prospect of Open SDI in Developing Countries Case Study: Indonesia

Many developing countries established Spatial Data Infrastructure primary (SDI) based on belief its ability to facilitate spatial information sharing for their national development. As one of the countries that initiated Open Government Partnership, Indonesia committed to provides new space for openness, transparency, innovation, and establish...

Topological Reconstruction of 3D City Models with preservation of semantics

3D city models are becoming increasingly important for applications such as evacuation scenarios and energy consumption estimation. For these applications embedding semantic information on geometry is a key factor. The most popular implementation of modern 3D city models is based on the CityGML data model which describes spatial 3D data using a...

Introducing spatial variability to the impact significance assessment

The concept of Circular Economy has gained momentum during the last decade. Yet unsustainable circular systems can also create unintended social, economic and environmental damage. Sustainability is highly dependent on a system’s geographical context, such as location of resources, cultural acceptance, economic, environmental and transport...

An Artificial Stream Network and Its Application on Exploring the Effect of DEM Resolution on Hydrological Parameters

Digital elevation models (DEM) are widely used in various distributed hydrological models. The stream network can be extracted from it so that runoff routing can be calculated. With the advent of remote sensing and computing technologies, the computation based on DEM with high resolution becomes possible. However, there still exist regions with...
