The problem is further aggravated as a result of the rapid urbanization and urban sprawl. This study investigated the relationship between urban sprawl and sanitation risk conditions in a rapidly growing city in India. This was accomplished by investigating changes in urban sprawl areas between the periods 2000–2020 using multispectral satellite images and Shanon's entropy model and studying the pattern of spatial variations in basic sanitation services derived from the 100 household‐based surveyed WASH (water availability, sanitation, and hygiene) data collected in 2018 before COVID‐19 from 45 sprawl regions. Spatial statistical techniques, namely, the inverse distance weighted (IDW) interpolation and the multicriteria decision technique, were employed for neighborhood analysis and assessing sanitation risks inside the sprawl region. Results showed that Raipur exhibited urban sprawl and around 93.68% of the sprawl area was classified between high (6.47%)‐ and medium (80.52%)‐risk zones.","PeriodicalId":47842,"journal":{"name":"Transactions in GIS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141783359","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 studies often focus on predicting total demand within an administrative region, neglecting the spatiotemporal heterogeneities and interrelationships within its subregions, such as grids. This study introduces a dynamic spatiotemporal rolling prediction model (STRM) that integrates historical trends, neighborhood status, and spatial proximity for spatially explicit prediction of urban land demand at a grid level within an administrative region. STRM leverages historical urban land demand and proximity information from neighborhood grids to predict future demand of the foci grid. By integrating history and neighborhood information into a deep forest model, STRM provides an approach for rolling predictions of grid‐level urban land demand. Parameter sensitivity and structural sensitivity analyses of STRM reveal the impact of historical lags, neighborhood size, and spatial proximity on urban land demand predictions. Application of STRM in Wuhan demonstrated the performance of STRM over a 17‐year period (2000–2017), with an average adjusted <jats:italic>R</jats:italic><jats:sup>2</jats:sup> of 0.89, outperforming other urban land demand prediction models. By predicting demand on a year‐by‐year basis, STRM effectively captures spatiotemporal heterogeneity and enhances the resolution of urban land demand prediction. STRM represents a shift from static macroscopic to dynamic microscopic prediction of urban land demand, offering valuable insights for future urban development and planning decisions.","PeriodicalId":47842,"journal":{"name":"Transactions in GIS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141740954","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 main results show the dominance of citizen science projects, followed by initiatives promoting sustainability values, local development, and governance. Although values remain low, the potential to achieve convergence in VGI–SDI features is very high in citizen science projects, where the presence of experts and the funding of these projects by governments and decision‐making entities enable quality standards in the collection and distribution of the contributed information. The work concludes by addressing two major challenges facing current VGI projects: firstly, accessing affordable technological solutions that allow the creation of collaborative web maps with SDI‐like functions. Secondly, guaranteeing the project's sustainability and the preservation of the information gathered.","PeriodicalId":47842,"journal":{"name":"Transactions in GIS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141746078","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, data completeness has been a significant challenge for syndromic surveillance systems in many countries. Incomplete data may make it difficult to accurately identify anomalies or trends in surveillance data. In this study, a new disease mapping method based on a high‐accuracy, low‐rank tensor completion (HaLRTC) algorithm is proposed to estimate the quarterly positivity rate of the human influenza virus (IFV) based on highly insufficient 2010–2015 respiratory syndromic surveillance data from the subtropical monsoon region of China. The HaLRTC algorithm is a spatiotemporal interpolation method applied to fill in missing or incomplete data using a low‐rank tensor structure. The results show that the accuracy (<jats:italic>R</jats:italic><jats:sup>2</jats:sup> = 0.880, RMSE = 0.037) of the proposed method is much higher than that of three traditional disease mapping methods: Cokriging, hierarchical Bayesian, and sandwich estimation methods.

Traditional geometric and statistical methods rely on human‐defined shape indicators, and spectral‐based graph neural networks (GNNs) require Laplacian eigendecomposition, resulting in high algorithmic complexity. Therefore, we proposed a low‐complexity and simple‐to‐use spatial‐domain GNN for differentiating building shapes. To examine the influence of the building vertices on their shape, we treated each building as a graph and proposed a graph isomorphic network with weighted multi‐aggregators (GIN‐WMA) by analyzing the node connectivity of a building graph. The GIN‐WMA utilizes a novel aggregator that combines the sum and max aggregators, enhancing its recognition and differentiation capabilities. This approach can effectively differentiate nodes that have identical features after aggregation by the sum aggregator. We extracted features considering both local node and global shape features, drawing inspiration from Gestalt cognitive psychology and GNN's “node–graph” differentiation strategy. In addition, we compared the performance of GIN‐WMA with existing methods, studying the effect of various node features and their combinations on classification accuracy. The results demonstrated that GIN‐WMA outperforms other methods in discriminating building shapes, demonstrating superior capabilities in shape classification and enabling end‐to‐end extraction and classification of building shapes.","PeriodicalId":47842,"journal":{"name":"Transactions in GIS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141640495","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}

This study leverages Google Earth Engine to extract a comprehensive time series of two‐band Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI 2) from Landsat images. Utilizing relatively sparse data spanning from 2001 to 2020, a Bayesian hierarchical model is applied at a 30 m resolution to capture the continuous temporal evolution of phenology. The fitting results of this study demonstrate excellent performance, with annual correlation coefficients consistently exceeding 0.89. The findings indicate that between 2001 and 2020, the Start of Season in Shanxi advanced by an average of 0.79 days per year, the End of Season was delayed by an average of 0.83 days per year, and the Length of Season (LOS) extended by an average of 0.80 days per year. Spatial disparities in phenological periods in Shanxi are evident, with an average LOS of 192 days on 35–36° N and only 122 days on 40–41° N. Below 1200 m, phenological periods exhibit significant changes influenced by human activities, while between 1200 m and 2600 m, LOS shows a weak trend of shortening. Above 2600 m, there is a noticeable reduction in LOS. With an increasing slope, LOS increases from an average of 175 days to 187 days (>25°). This study, utilizing Shanxi as a case study, explores the spatiotemporal evolution characteristics of vegetation phenology, aiming to support fine land management and enhance agricultural productivity.","PeriodicalId":47842,"journal":{"name":"Transactions in GIS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141645714","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}

Based on the perspective of supply and demand matching, this study proposed a measurement method for the spatial misallocation of land resources and constructed two models for the testing and decomposition of factors affecting land resource spatial misallocation. We used this measurement method and these two models to explore the spatiotemporal characteristics and determinants of the spatial misallocation of land resources in China from 2000 to 2018 with the aim of providing policy recommendations for the correction of land resource misallocation in China and other developing countries. The results showed that the spatial misallocation of land resources in China showed an upward trend with evident spatial differentiation and the proportion of cities with high and severe misallocation increased. Industrial isomorphism and market misallocation are the main driving factors of land misallocation. Government misallocation and factor market abnormal development aggravate land resource misallocation. Extensive economic development and excessive factor agglomeration have a small effect on land resource spatial misallocation. Therefore, strengthening the land supply‐side reform, and implementing differentiated land allocation policies are effective pathways to control land resource misallocation in China.","PeriodicalId":47842,"journal":{"name":"Transactions in GIS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141649375","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}

This study focused on spreading an effective numerical model to reconstruct downstream hazards induced by a giant ancient landslide‐dammed lake outburst flood (LLOF) in the upper Minjiang River valley, eastern Tibetan Plateau based on the integration of the hydraulic characteristics of the upstream dammed lake, dam failure and erosion process, and downstream OF dynamics. The peak discharge levels and paleohydraulics of the LLOF were reconstructed using single‐embankment dam‐break program and one‐dimensional steady hydraulic numerical model. The results reveal that the maximum peak discharge of the Diexi paleo LLOF was 73,060–82,235 m<jats:sup>3</jats:sup>/s, with an uncertainty bound of 73,000–90,000 m<jats:sup>3</jats:sup>/s (mean value: 81,500 m<jats:sup>3</jats:sup>/s). Which inferred that the Diexi paleo LLOF was one of the largest known LLOFs in the view of worldwide scope comparing with other types of floods. Then, the hydraulic characteristics and route evolution of the LLOF were simulated in one‐dimensional unsteady numerical model. The results showed that the Diexi paleo LLOF took 7.47 h to transport from Diexi to Wenchuan within the simulated section of 91.23 km, with an average propagation velocity of 3.39 m/s. At the time of 15.57 h, the simulating section (between Diexi and Wenchuan) reached the maximum extent of inundation which was 664.91 km<jats:sup>2</jats:sup>, with an average value of 7.29 km<jats:sup>2</jats:sup>/km. Our modeling supports that the numerical model can be used successfully to reconstruct the hydraulics of a paleo LLOF in deep confined gorge environment.

In this research, artificial neural network (ANN) and random forest (RF) algorithm were used to predict the AGB using different models with different combinations of variables.

Based on the statistical indicators, the most suitable model is Model 4 using anRF algorithm with <jats:italic>mtry</jats:italic> = p, and a combination of field observation, LiDAR, hyperspectral, vegetation indices (VIs), and topography.

Using point‐of‐interest data from Amap, our model was benchmarked against a multisource data model to verify its effectiveness and accuracy. The results indicate that the single‐source model possesses an accuracy comparable to that of the multisource model in determining the centrality and spatial distribution of urban centers, thus offering a substantial capability to reduce reliance on multisource data. The random forest method exhibits a significant accuracy advantage over traditional ordinary least squares regression methods. However, it also exhibited susceptibility to overfitting and variations in data sampling. This suggests that while the model is highly effective for large‐scale urban studies, it requires careful handling of data inputs. This model can be applied to actual urban planning and research, providing a useful instrument for investigating urban polycentric structures at different spatial scales. This will increase the usefulness of the model in real‐world scenarios and lower the expenses related to analyzing urban data.","PeriodicalId":47842,"journal":{"name":"Transactions in GIS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141609145","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}
