Las áreas ribereñas del Área Metropolitana Santa Fe Modalidades de ocupación recientes KU Leuven
La ciudad de Santa Fe y otras ciudades ribereñas que conforman su área metropolitana se localizan en un territorio de alta vulnerabilidad y solicitación hídrica. Desde su emplazamiento original han desarrollado, en la escala territorial y urbana, estrategias de convivencia con el sistema hídrico del río Paraná y afluentes que, en general,han tendido a mantener o aumentar su resiliencia. Sin embargo, desde las últimas décadas del ...
Expansion of construction land in the coastal areas : a case study of the Guangdong - Hong Kong - Macao Greater Bay Area, China Universiteit Gent
Unprecedented urbanization has taken place in the coastal areas, resulting in the degradation and loss of terrestrial and marine ecosystems. This study explored the spatial and temporal pattern of urbanization, taken the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) of China as the study area. Our results showed that the GBA has experienced dramatic expansion of construction land with the area increasing from 2607.4 km 2 in 1980 to 8243.5 km ...
VBORNET gap analysis: Sand fly vector distribution models utilised to identify areas of potential species distribution in areas lacking records Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
This is the first of a number of planned data papers presenting modelled vector distributions, the models in this paper were produced during the ECDC funded VBORNET project. This work continues under the VectorNet project now jointly funded by ECDC and EFSA. This data paper contains the sand fly model outputs produced as part of the VBORNET project. Further data papers will be published after sampling seasons when more field data will become ...
VBORNET gap analysis: Mosquito vector distribution models utilised to identify areas of potential species distribution in areas lacking records Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
This is the second of a number of planned data papers presenting modelled vector distributions produced originally during the ECDC funded VBORNET project. This work continues under the VectorNet project now jointly funded by ECDC and EFSA. Further data papers will be published after sampling seasons when more field data will become available allowing further species to be modelled or validation and updates to existing models. The data package ...
Farmers' perceptions and knowledge in using wastewater for irrigation at twelve peri-urban areas and two sugar mill areas in Bangladesh KU Leuven
By interviewing farmers in twelve peri-urban and two sugar mill areas information was collected on the use of urban wastewater. In all cases, untreated sewage water was used without primary treatment. The domestic polluted water originated from household kitchen, cloth wash,bathroom shower, and other municipal sources (e.g., supermarkets, restaurants, offices). Moreover it was often diluted by urban storm-water drainage. Major quality parameters ...
Spatial modelling to inform public health based on health surveys: impact of unsampled areas at lower geographical scale Universiteit Hasselt
Small area estimation is an important tool to provide area-specific estimates of populations characteristics for governmental organisations in the context of education, public health and care. However, many demographic and health surveys are unrepresentative at a small geographical level, as often areas at a lower level are not included in the sample due to financial or logistical reasons. In this paper, we investigated (1) the effect of these ...

Population health inequalities across and within european metropolitan areas through the lens of the euro-healthy population health index Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The different geographical contexts seen in European metropolitan areas are reflected in the uneven distribution of health risk factors for the population. Accumulating evidence on multiple health determinants point to the importance of individual, social, economic, physical and built environment features, which can be shaped by the local authorities. The complexity of measuring health, which at the same time underscores the level of ...
