To address the need for the symbolic representation of complex and diverse fault structures, this paper proposes a parametric modeling method for 3D fault symbols. This method includes (1) constructing a 3D stratum model and a fault plane model based on stratum and fault plane parameters, (2) performing a 3D cutting operation based on the fault plane model to generate the fault block model, and (3) translating the strata in two faultblocks according to the parameters of fault motion to generate a fault symbol model. The experimental results show that the proposed method requires only a small number of parameters to efficiently and intuitively construct diverse 3D fault symbol models. This method breaks through the excessive dependence on geological survey data in the process of 3D geological modeling. It is suitable for 3D geological symbol modeling of folds, joints, intrusions, and other geological structures, as well as 3D modeling of typical geological structures with relatively simple spatial morphology. This paper's parametric modeling method has essential research significance and application value in various applications such as digital earth, digital city, and virtual geoscience exploration.","PeriodicalId":47842,"journal":{"name":"Transactions in GIS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142196784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Stepwise regression is trained with the travel demand in each unit as the dependent variable, and land use factors are introduced as the independent variable one by one, which finds the set of independent variables. Five machine learning algorithms driven by ensemble learning and decision trees including the GBDT, Random Forecast, Adaboost, Extratrees, and Catboost, are employed and evaluated to achieve comparative analysis of “before considering‐after considering NTL data”. The methodological verification of Beijing city shows: (1) Adaboost and GBDT are superior to all other algorithms, since they generally have the highest R2, lowest RMSE, and lowest absolute MAPE. (2) All methods by employing NTL data obviously optimize the performance of BSTD forecast with decreased RMSE, decreased MAPE, etc. In particular, GBDT performs the best in reducing MSE, with a percentage of −99.99% in the training set and −86.985% in the test set, which AdaBoost, Extratrees, and Catboost follow. (3) Land use factors no longer make sense in predicting BSTD after employing NTL data, and NTL data has covered the roles of land use factors to ensure accuracy. The conclusions presented here enrich our understanding of the relative roles of land use factors and NTL data in travel demand and boost our optimization in traffic prediction in the future.","PeriodicalId":47842,"journal":{"name":"Transactions in GIS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142196786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding their likely locations is crucial to policymakers, who may (for example) seek to provide overseas travelers with guidance on safe areas, or local policymakers with the ability to pre‐position medical aid or police presences to mediate negative impacts associated with riot events. Past efforts to forecast these events have focused on the use of news and social media, restricting applicability to areas with available data. This study utilizes a ResNet convolutional neural network and high‐resolution satellite imagery to estimate the spatial distribution of riots or protests within urban environments. At a global scale (N = 18,631 conflict events), by training our model to understand relationships between urban form and riot events, we are able to predict the likelihood that a given urban area will experience a riot or protest with accuracy as high as 97%. This research has the potential to improve our ability to forecast and understand the relationship between urban form and conflict events, even in data‐sparse regions.","PeriodicalId":47842,"journal":{"name":"Transactions in GIS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142196785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, because of the inherent deficiencies of sensor devices, accurate road matching results may not always be obtained directly from trajectory data, which poses a challenge for many location and trajectory based services. Existing map‐matching techniques mainly focus on high‐sampling‐rate trajectory data while paying relatively less attention to low‐frequency trajectory data. Low‐sampling‐rate trajectory data have greater matching difficulties than high‐sampling‐rate data owing to the limited available information. Moreover, in the case of signal loss or interference, the accuracy of map‐matching algorithms can decrease significantly for low‐sampling‐rate data. To achieve accurate map‐matching results for low‐sampling‐rate trajectory data, this study proposes a map‐matching algorithm based on probability interpolation. First, the trajectory data are denoised to eliminate redundant trajectory points. Second, the concept of the probability truth value is introduced to handle the relationship between the interpolated virtual points and actual sampled trajectory points accurately. A higher probability truth value indicates a higher confidence level of the interpolation. Third, the denoised trajectory data are interpolated and a probability truth value is assigned based on the interpolation accuracy. Finally, a comprehensive probability composed of the probability truth value, emission probability, and transition probability is used to determine the correctly matched road segments. Experimental results on real trajectory datasets demonstrated that the proposed algorithm outperformed several advanced algorithms in terms of accuracy and performance.","PeriodicalId":47842,"journal":{"name":"Transactions in GIS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142225059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To mitigate its spread, governments worldwide implemented strict lockdown measures. While these lockdowns had adverse social, economic, and health impacts, they also led to significant environmental improvements in many regions. India's urban environment also significantly improved during lockdown. This study investigates the changes in Land Surface Temperature (LST) across eight major Indian cities, each representing diverse climatic and physiographic zones: Delhi, Dehradun, Lucknow, Kolkata, Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. It aims to enhance the understanding of how sudden reductions in anthropogenic activities influence urban temperatures. The LST was computed for the lockdown period of April to May 2020 and was compared with the pre‐lockdown years of 2018 and 2019 and the post‐lockdown year of 2021, utilizing Landsat thermal data processed through the mono‐window algorithm. The results exhibit significant reductions in LST during the lockdown period. Cities like Delhi, Dehradun, and Lucknow experienced a reduction of 6°C, 5°C, and 4°C, respectively, in LST from pre‐lockdown to lockdown periods. In contrast, cities like Bhopal, Bhubaneswar, Mumbai, and Hyderabad experienced a reduction of around 2°C–3°C. However, the city of Kolkata showed an increase of 3°C from 2019 to 2020. These results highlight the substantial influence of human activities on urban thermal environments and underline the potential benefits of reducing anthropogenic impacts to improve urban thermal well‐being.","PeriodicalId":47842,"journal":{"name":"Transactions in GIS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142196787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In decision level, terrain generalization is essentially a similarity transformation between the geomorphic structures corresponding to multi‐scale contour cluster. However, the multi‐scale structural similarity relations are not directly connected with the application of contour generalization. Therefore, this paper presents an automated method for terrain contour structured generalization considering multi‐scale structural similarity. Firstly, a drainage tree structure is constructed from contour lines to establish associations between valley branches and contour bends. Then, the quantitative relationships between multi‐scale structural similarity and map scale changes are explored using an indirect quantitative expression method. Finally, the contour structural generalization is fully automated through iterative optimization principle based on the multi‐scale structural similarity relations. The experiment results demonstrate the rationality and feasibility of fully automating the contour generalization process based on multi‐scale geomorphic structural similarity relations. And the proposed method not only overcomes the challenge of determining “how much to select” in map generalization, but also is valuable for enriching the content of spatial similarity relations and map generalization, thereby providing a theoretical method system and support for the construction of national basic vector databases.","PeriodicalId":47842,"journal":{"name":"Transactions in GIS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142227770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prevailing theory of aging tends to stress aging in place which associates aging well with the home and community, thus inadvertently privileging residential neighborhoods as the focal point where older adults spend most of their time. Recent studies have, however, suggested that older adults also age in (social) networks that extend beyond their neighborhoods' physical locations. The need to incorporate perspectives on aging in networks has challenged the prioritization and the enforcement of absolute (or physical) space in GIS software. This study investigates the potential for integrating four top‐level spaces (absolute, relative, relational, and mental) to capture different dimensions of older adults' everyday lives. By leveraging on a dataset of older adults in Singapore, this study demonstrates how the four spaces combined facilitates understanding of aging, specifically their activity spaces, that would otherwise be achieved in a fragmented manner.","PeriodicalId":47842,"journal":{"name":"Transactions in GIS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142196790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, existing search engines face difficulties in retrieving groups of places based on keywords and topological relations among their respective regions, for instance, when a user wants to find a residential building that is connected to a green area. This is primarily due to their limited consideration of POIs as mere points in space, rather than recognizing the polygonal geometries of their boundaries. In this work, we present a spatial search solution based on textual and topological query parameters for efficiently retrieving groups of POIs whose neighborhoods and boundaries satisfy specific restrictions. To perform this type of search efficiently, we propose the Topo‐MSJ algorithm, building upon the well‐established “Multi‐Star‐Join” (MSJ) algorithm, by including an efficient approach to handle queries with topological requirements. To assess the effectiveness of our solution, we conduct a performance evaluation by comparing the execution time of Topo‐MSJ with equivalent spatial SQL queries. The experimental analysis, performed on real datasets, reveals that Topo‐MSJ exhibits a faster execution time compared with equivalent SQL queries, additionally providing a simplified spatial pattern query notation.","PeriodicalId":47842,"journal":{"name":"Transactions in GIS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141929630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
