Abstract:
... This paper—which is contextualized in the discussion on the methodological pluralism and the main topics of medical geography, the complexity theory in geographies of health, the remaking of medical geography and ad hoc systems of data elaboration—focuses on radio base stations (RBSs) as sources of electromagnetic fields, to provide GIS applications and simplifying-prudential models that are able ...

at-risk population; buildings; census data; climate change; coasts; floodplains; geography; governance; models; planning; risk; socioeconomics; storms; North Carolina
Abstract:
... Densely populated coastal regions are vulnerable to threats associated with climate change and variability, especially storms. In the United States, millions of people are repeatedly at risk of flooding and because this number will only continue to grow, the identification of the intersection of social vulnerability and physical risk to flood inundation is essential for both coastal planning and a ...

Subject:
buildings; decision making; geography; geometry; learning; models; planning; topology; China
Abstract:
... Increasing research has been conducted to improve navigation services for the blind when they are moving through an outdoor space. This article aims to propose a formal modeling approach helps facilitate decision making about navigation pathways. The proposed data model is based on an objective orientation idea. City features, such as street features, buildings and environmental areas, are organiz ...
