The ability of recent FCA measures, three-step (3S) FCA, Modified (M) two-step (2S) FCA, and Balanced (B) FCA to capture local demand and locational configuration was examined in hypothetical systems and Rural Wards of Dodoma Urban District and found to be less appealing. The resulting 3SFCA, M2SFCA, and BFCA spatial accessibility indices inconsistently varied with the local demand or locational configuration. Thus, the study proposed a Modified (M) 3SFCA measure to effectively capture local demand and locational configuration. The proposed M3SFCA measure was implemented in hypothetical systems and Rural Wards of Dodoma Urban District and found to generate spatial accessibility indices that logically varied with local demand and locational configuration. The service users (or households) with low local demand or closer to service providers (or water points) are characterized by higher spatial accessibility indices and vice versa. This characterization of spatial accessibility indices is more realistic and essential for effective monitoring of progress made on the global and national development goals.","PeriodicalId":492501,"journal":{"name":"International journal of environment and geoinformatics","volume":" 50","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138962251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each day, more comparable carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere because of industrial processes, transportation, animal activities, lighting, cooking, heating, and illumination. The term \"carbon footprint\" refers to the number of greenhouse gases that a person, a nation, or an organization emits because of their activities. The methodologies for calculating carbon footprints are still being developed, but they are becoming a vital tool for managing greenhouse gases. This review article discusses the carbon footprint, measurement methods, and other important information. In the future, it is critical to keep developing and enhancing techniques for evaluating the environmental effect, including creating more thorough and consistent systems for computing carbon footprints. To develop a more comprehensive understanding of the environmental impact of human activities, it will also be crucial to consider environmental effects other than greenhouse gas emissions. These actions will ultimately be essential for reducing the impact of climate change and maintaining the health and well-being of our planet.","PeriodicalId":492501,"journal":{"name":"International journal of environment and geoinformatics","volume":"24 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138965774","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the frequent occurrence of many rockfall events of varying sizes, no precautions are taken as a result of these events, leading to economic damages. Therefore, Hacıabdullah village, which poses a high danger and risk in terms of slope instability and rockfall potential, has been selected as the study area. The study aims to evaluate rockfall events occurring on steep slopes in Haciabullah village, based on the potential rock blocks that could fall, by modeling them according to their geometries. Within this scope, the potential 17 rock blocks that could fall have been identified in the field and modelled using RAMMS 3D rockfall software according to their geometric characteristics. In addition to the geometric characteristics of the rock blocks, their potential falling areas, velocities, jump heights, and kinetic energies will also be determined, the basis of the rockfall hazard analysis. For the 3D modeling of the study, UAV-DSM (3cm resolution), which represents the high-resolution surface of the topography, has been used as the main dataset. As a result of 3D rockfall modeling, the maximum kinetic energy, maximum velocity, and maximum jump height of the falling blocks reached 3476 kJ, 23.1 m/s, and 14.57 m, respectively. The result of the kinematic analysis showed a higher probability of toppling type in the whole study area.

Lake Marmara, which was exposed to intense anthropogenic effects after 1940, is experiencing ecological deterioration in recent years. This study aimed to analyze the ecological risk level of the lake by using Enrichment Factor (EF), Toxic Risk Index (TRI), Modified Potential Ecological Risk Index (mER) etc. The research hypothesized that the discharge of water from the Gediz River and Kum Stream to the lake after 1940 triggered ecological risk problems. Moderate toxic risk, low potential ecological risk, moderate element contamination were detected throughout the lake. It was determined that Mo, P and Hg of anthropogenic origin and As, Ni, Cr, Cu of lithological origin created ecological risk at a regional scale. Domestic-industrial wastes and agriculture in the Gediz River basin and around the lake were identified as the dominant anthropogenic activity. The temporal variation of the ecological risk indices based on the elements did not reflect the anthropogenic traces of water discharge into the lake from the Gediz River basin. However, the temporal variation of TOC, N, P and CDP showed the effects of anthropogenic interventions in the lake. According to the threshold values; P is highly contaminated and N is close to the severely contaminated limit. The findings, while confirming the research hypothesis, showed that the dominant ecological risk factor in Lake Marmara is not elemental contamination, but organic pollutants, nitrogen and phosphate.","PeriodicalId":492501,"journal":{"name":"International journal of environment and geoinformatics","volume":"2013 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136272245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding the flow pattern around these formations enables practitioners to produce cost-effective, sustainable, and eco-friendly river management projects and strategies, forming the motivation of this study. Herein, the secondary flow pattern around MCIs was analyzed by employing a RANS-based numerical model. Flow around the simplified bodies was simulated to give a more precise analysis regarding flow-island interactions. Once the numerical validation process was completed for the cylinder using an experimental dataset, the validated model was implemented for islands (streamlined island, vertically sloped island (VSI), and realistically sloped island (RSI)). Analysis of the model results revealed the following key findings: 1) the RSI acted like a streamlined object and produced weaker lee-wake vortices with a longer recovery distance compared to the streamlined island and the VSI, 2) the RSI gained a better-streamlined form near the bed than near the water surface due to enhanced elongation, 3) this situation in the RSI case generated highly variable flow patterns along the depth behind the MCI, and 4) due to the three-dimensional geometry of the RSI, the generated large-scale vortices propagated asymmetrically towards the sides of the channel rather than remaining around the centerline.","PeriodicalId":492501,"journal":{"name":"International journal of environment and geoinformatics","volume":"160 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136278768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a comprehensive understanding of why one dye is adsorbed more than another still remains unknown. In addition, a very little is known about how adsorption mechanisms scale when more than one dye is present in the solution. The adsorption capacity of cobalt-aluminum (CoAl) LDH was investigated for methyl orange (MO), remazol brilliant blue (RBBR) and allura red (AR), at different dye concentrations. The maximum mass of dye adsorbed was obtained for MO (2.267 mmol/g), followed by RBBR (0.258 mmol/g) and AR (0.195 mmol/g). X-Ray Diffraction and Fourier transform infrared analysis results demonstrated that surface adsorption and electrostatic interactions contributed to the adsorption while intercalation did not. In a binary solution of MO and RBBR, the highest mass of MO adsorbed was reduced to 1.521 mmol/g while the maximum RBBR mass adsorbed increased to 0.268 mmol/g. CoAl LDH had a preferential adsorption for RBBR within concentrations up to 0.026 mmol/L while MO was preferred at higher concentrations. Overall, the findings suggest that the adsorption capacity of an LDH is highly dependent on the number, characteristics and the equilibrium concentrations of dyes present in a solution.","PeriodicalId":492501,"journal":{"name":"International journal of environment and geoinformatics","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136278767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
