In recent decades, GC has witnessed massive urban expansion, which has yet to be empirically measured or characterized. This research seeks to explore the patterns of urban growth and changes in urban form in GC from 1973 to 2021 using remote sensing and geospatial metrics. Six Landsat images in 1973, 1984, 1992, 2003, 2013, and 2021 were used to explore urban growth in GC. Urban Land Density Function (ULDF), Landscape Expansion Index (LEI), and Fractal Dimension Index (FDI), were utilized to analyze various aspects of urban expansion. Additionally, the ratio of Land Consumption Rate (LCR) to Population Growth Rate (PGR) was calculated to assess the correlation between urban expansion and population changes. Our results reveal a substantial addition of 203 thousand hectares of urban areas over the last half-century. The ULDF highlights GC’s transformation from a condensed to a scattered urban landscape, particularly with the establishment of the New Administrative Capital in the vicinity. Edge expansion emerged as the principal type of urban growth throughout the research duration. The consistent increase in FDI from 1.44 in 1973 to 1.75 in 2021 signifies the fragmentation of the urban landscape. Moreover, the progressive rise in LCR from 0.023 in 1984 to 0.050 ha per person in 2021 suggests a steady expansion of low-density urban areas. Notably, the LCR-to-PGR ratio escalated from 0.878 in 1984 to 2.428 in 2021, indicating that urban expansion surpassed population growth. These results will help further understand the characteristics of GC’s urban expansion and may offer a scientific foundation for policymakers to reconsider the current horizontal expansion policy in GC.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45131,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Management","volume":"13 4","pages":"Pages 565-579"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142702259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research has extensively explored the spatial equity of educational resources in developed countries; however, there's a lack of adequate studies focused on cities within developing regions, like Erbil. Also, the impact of the double-shift school system on educational equity remains significantly unexplored. This study employs statistical techniques (Location Quotient and Pearson's correlation) to analyze the spatial concentration and the relationship between primary schools and population numbers. Additionally, GIS is utilized to examine factors affecting educational equity, focusing on the spatial distribution of government primary schools and their relation to population density and housing prices. These techniques include mean center, central feature, standard distance, kernel density, average nearest neighborhood, buffer zones, and Thiessen polygons to analyze schools' geographical distribution, density, patterns, accessibility, proximity, and school location assessment. Furthermore, this study analyzes the effects of different school systems on equity by examining instructional time. The results showed an uneven distribution of schools, concentrated in older areas with a scarcity on the city's outskirts, and a negative correlation between school numbers and housing prices. Notably, about 88% of Erbil's primary schools operate double shifts due to insufficient numbers, which reduces annual instruction time to 576 hours, significantly lower than in other school systems. By proposing an equity priority model for future schools and emphasizing the efficient allocation of educational resources, this study contributes to global discussions on educational disparities and suggests strategies for equitable resource distribution in urban settings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45131,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Urban Management","volume":"13 4","pages":"Pages 832-849"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142702338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although street view images (SVIs) are widely used in urban studies, it overlooks the interconnection among different locations, which can also affect perceptions about environmental recognizability. To address this issue, this study proposes a deep learning-based model called RB-Node, which comprehensively integrates spatial structural features in a road network view and visual features from SVIs, achieving 82.56% accuracy. It appears that image information from visual features dominates environmental recognizability. Additionally, structural information contributes significantly to the accurate classification of nodes and waterfront promenade areas. Moreover, scene-text information, a subset of visual features, helps classify commercial and historical areas. Furthermore, 1056 samples were collected through an eye-tracking experiment to validate the recognizability evaluation results, as well as compare the decision-making process between humans and RB-Node. According to the results, RB-Node behaviour and human observed behavior follow similar patterns, although human perceptions tend to be more holistic than RB-Node's.

An empirical analysis is conducted using panel data from 104 cities in China, including remote sensing data of urban land construction areas.

To address the accessibility challenge a comprehensive GIS based feeder route design model based on population data and road network attributes was developed.

The results demonstrated that the feeder routes obtained through this method exhibited exceptional coverage across the study area effectively bridging the accessibility gaps. The effectiveness of the proposed model was validated through the service area analysis and density analysis, verifying a noticeable increase in route density and substantial population served corresponding to 0.25%. which is doubled as compared to the population served existing feeder routes.
