Greenery in urban morphology: a comparative analysis of differences in urban green space accessibility for various urban structures across European cities Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The understanding of urban social-ecological systems requires integrated and interdisciplinary methods. This paper explores differences in the accessibility of urban green spaces (UGS) based on urban morphology. In contrast to other comparative analyses that followed simplified quantification of UGS provision and/or omitted the impact of morphological properties of urban space, this study proposes three improvements. First, it uses the share of ...
Developing urban metrics to describe the morphology of urban areas at block level Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This research focuses on the potential of spatial metrics for describing distinct types of urban morphology at block level. Urban blocks typically consist of built-up and non built-up areas, with a specific composition and configuration. To characterize the twodimensional structure of urban blocks, next to traditional, landscape ecological metrics, two alternative methods are proposed, describing the alternation between, and the characteristic ...
Everyday space-time geographies : using mobile phone-based sensor data to monitor urban activity in Harbin, Paris, and Tallinn Ghent University
Mapping, monitoring and modelling urban areas with medium-resolution satellite imagery Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The general objective of the dissertation is to exploit the advantages of mid-scale earth observation data for mapping, monitoring and modelling urban areas.
In terms of mapping, the focus lies on two elementary land cover components of cities: built-up land (i.e. "impervious surfaces") and vegetation. The disadvantage of using imagery with a lower spatial resolution for this purpose is that a single sensor observation usually covers ...
