Urban Growth Scenarios

The study of urban areas and their development focuses on cities, their physical and demographic expansion and the tensions and impacts that go along with urban growth. Especially in developing countries and emerging national economies like India, consistent and up to date information or other planning relevant data all too often is not available. With its Smart Cities Mission, the Indian government places great importance on the future developments of Indian urban areas and pays tribute to the large-scale rural to urban migration. The potentials of urban remote sensing and its contribution to urban planning are discussed and related to the Indian Smart Cities Mission. A case study is presented showing urban remote sensing based information products for the city of Ahmedabad. Resulting urban growth scenarios are presented, hotspots identified and future action alternatives proposed.

AbstractAtmospheric corrosion is one of the main factors leading to performance deterioration of reinforced concrete buildings; and, hence, periodic structural condition monitoring is required to assess and repair the adverse effects of corrosion. However, this can become a cumbersome and expensive task to undertake for large populations of buildings, scattered in large urban areas. To optimize the use of available resources, appropriate tools are required for the assessment of corrosion risk of reinforced concrete construction. This paper proposes a framework for the production of digital corrosion risk maps for urban areas; Cyprus was used as a case study. This framework explored multi-temporal satellite remote sensing data from the Landsat sensors as well as corrosion risk factors derived from the results of a recently completed research project, entitled “STEELCOR”. This framework was used to develop two corrosion risk scenarios within Geographical Information Systems, and to produce corrosion risk maps for three coastal cities of Cyprus. The thematic maps indicated that, for slight corrosion damage, the distance of reinforced concrete buildings from the coast was more influential than the building age. While, for significant corrosion damage, the maps indicated that the age of RC buildings was more influential than the distance from the coast.

<p>Esta pesquisa tem o objetivo de identificar e analisar a variação das temperaturas de superfície do Município de Viana, Espírito Santo, Brasil, por meio de técnicas de Sensoriamento Remoto, em dois episódios, chuvoso e seco, de 2019, bem como relacionar as classes de temperatura com o uso e a cobertura do solo e a morfologia do terreno. Para tanto, foram feitos levantamentos bibliográficos entre livros, teses, dissertações e artigos científicos que discorrem sobre os principais conceitos aqui tratados (Clima, Climatologia Geográfica, Sensoriamento Remoto, Sistemas de Informações Geográficas etc.), aquisição de bases cartográficas (vetoriais e raster) para a elaboração dos mapas e para aplicação de recursos técnicos de geoprocessamento de imagens de satélite. Os resultados mostraram diferenças significativas na variação das temperaturas, mais elevadas nas áreas urbanas comparativamente às áreas de agricultura/pastagens (8°C) e providas de cobertura florestal (9,5°C), tanto no verão quanto no inverno, associadas às propriedades diferenciadas quanto à produção, à propagação e à conservação de calor no ambiente.</p><p><span>Abstract</span></p><p>SPATIAL VARIATION OF SURFACE TEMPERATURE: CASE STUDY OF TWO EPISODES IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF VIANA, ESPÍRITO SANTO, BRAZIL, IN 2019</p><p>This research aims to identify and analyze the variation in surface temperatures in the municipality of Viana, Espírito Santo, Brazil, using Remote Sensing techniques, in two episodes, rainy and dry 2019, as well as to relate the temperature classes with the land use and cover and the terrain morphology.

Urban areas, compared to peripheral and rural areas, have higher temperatures which are caused by a series of unplanned activities that are undertaken by humans. Such a thing leads to the emergence of the Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) phenomenon. In this paper, summer SUHI is determined through the calculation of LST for the Municipality of Prishtina using GIS and Remote Sensing techniques. To make this calculation, the Landsat 8 satellite image with 0% cloud cover was used. From the calculations made it turns out that the pixels with the highest value of LST are found in those parts where the urban area appears, where there are numerous constructions with impermeable materials, as well as in those areas where there are bare surfaces. Whereas, the pixels with lower values of LST appear in those parts where there are vegetation and water bodies, making these areas fresher. The SUHI phenomenon makes the lives of citizens difficult, therefore, such information is very important for the leaders and urban planners of the city of Prishtina, so that they take a series of steps towards minimizing such an effect in order to the life of the citizens to be as healthy as possible.

It is now officially recognised that the provision of combined heat and electrical-power generation plants in urban areas can improve the efficiency with which primary energy is consumed. An approach to assess the feasibility of such projects is exemplified by a case study of Leeds. Particular attention is given to the possible social and economic impacts, and it is argued that there is a need to go beyond a conventional financial accounting approach.
