Urban land value map: a case study in Eldorado do Sul - Brazilgaup_geo
This document summarizes a study that created a land value map for Eldorado do Sul, Brazil using GIS. Key factors that influence land value like access to roads, schools, and flood risk were used to create thematic maps. Market land value data was also collected. A weighted overlay analysis was performed to combine the thematic maps into a single predicted land value map. The predicted values were compared to actual market values, finding the model reasonably predicted land values in the study area. The final land value map accounts for multiple influencing factors in an objective way using available data and basic GIS techniques.

Celia SANCHEZ, Antonio MORENO, Maria del Carmen CABRERA: Territorial socio-ec...Territorial Intelligence
The document discusses the need for socioeconomic indicators at territorial levels below NUTS 3 (the third level of the NUTS classification of territorial units) to help actors. It notes that while the EU has made progress in harmonizing statistics, more work is needed to provide harmonized data at local levels. Challenges include conceptual and geographical definitions of small areas, costs of maintaining classifications and data below NUTS3, and lack of standardized information. Territorial actors need information on needs, services, and contexts to operate effectively.
Redressing the Municipal Affairs with Digital Spatial Data toward Responsible...Shamsuddin Ahmed
This research offers a basis for spatial data management case in point that the land governance strategy denoting as a routine of digital spatial data legacy development is a major stipulation to the “land resources” and the “community services”. Until 2015, Ontario’s municipalities cover just 17 percent of its landmass where the municipal affairs pace complications in land use reckoned to the seven provincial plans. The Greater Golden Horseshoe Growth Plan often cloaks the multijurisdictional constraints, for example, the amendment of the municipal zoning ordinance, land registry and surveys, land claims and conciliations, and housing options and taxations. The emphasis is to contour: first, identification of the key attributes and entity-sets; second, structuring of the geo-relational database connecting the local activities at the dissemination areas; and finally, the thematic features of each municipality and their contiguity. On the contrary, responsible land governance in municipal affairs is obviously substance at least to the three central obligations such as approach in integrated land management, shared periphery negotiation for economic and environmental growth moratoria, and digital data automation properties and protocols. The suggestion is that a massive development of digital spatial data is necessary to readdress the municipal affairs toward responsible land governance.
Land information system for efficient lands administration and revenue genera...Alexander Decker
The document summarizes a study that developed a land information system for Trans-Amadi Industrial Layout in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Existing land records and a layout plan were converted to digital formats using software like AutoCAD and ArcGIS. A database was created in MS Access to store spatial and attribute data for parcels. Queries and analysis were performed on the database to demonstrate how the system could support efficient land administration and revenue generation. The results showed ownership information, identified properties by number, determined land use and rents owed. Overall, the land information system provided a tool to facilitate management of land transactions and collection of land revenues.

The document discusses different types of maps and map scale. It explains that there are two main types of maps: reference maps, which show locations of features, and thematic maps, which emphasize a particular theme. It also defines scale as the ratio of distance on a map compared to actual distance. There are three types of scale: graphic, verbal, and representative fraction. The document provides examples of different scales and types of maps, including topographic, choropleth, dot, and cartogram maps.
5_Lecture_The economic geography of Southern EuropePrivate
The document provides an overview of spatial planning systems in Southern Europe. It discusses how spatial planning in Southern Europe uses a more conformative model, though countries allow variants to modify binding urban plans. Systems aim to reduce administrative burden and provide faster decisions. While public authorities generally assign development rights through binding plans, market forces strongly influence spatial development.
The Urban Atlas project provides high resolution land cover/land use maps for 305 major European urban areas based on satellite imagery from 2006. The maps classify land use into detailed thematic classes using a combination of automatic classification and photo interpretation. The freely available georeferenced layers can be used as input for modeling urban vulnerabilities and indicators related to topics like urban form, land use changes, green space accessibility, and population distribution. Future plans include repeating the Urban Atlas using 2011 imagery to analyze land use changes over time.

This document proposes a new robust hybrid watermarking scheme that embeds data in all frequencies of an image using both the discrete cosine transform (DCT) and singular value decomposition (SVD). It first applies DCT to the cover image and maps the coefficients into four quadrants representing different frequency bands. SVD is then applied to each quadrant. The singular values in each quadrant are modified by the singular values of the DCT-transformed visual watermark. Embedding data in all frequencies makes the scheme robust against attacks that target specific frequencies.

The guide is intended to help local governments better plan for and manage their public space networks.
This document summarizes a review study on urban sprawl. It begins by defining urban sprawl as excessive, uncontrolled growth of cities beyond their boundaries. It then discusses the characteristics of sprawl, including low-density development, segregation of land uses, and reliance on cars. Several causes of sprawl are identified, such as increases in income and population, improvements in transportation, and preferences for larger homes. The negative impacts of sprawl are then outlined, including increased infrastructure costs, more pollution, and loss of agricultural land. Finally, the document proposes some policies to control urban sprawl, like investing in public transit, controlling growth, and redeveloping inner cities.
This document provides draft design guidelines for the West Loop neighborhood in Chicago. It aims to help the neighborhood build on its identity as an employment, transportation, cultural and residential center while preserving urban character and scale. The guidelines cover general development strategies, tall building design, site-specific areas, the public realm, and parking/services. They are based on community input regarding concerns over loss of character, building density/height, solar access, lack of open space, and design monotony. The guidelines do not recommend zoning changes but provide principles to balance context, land use, open space, and building design.

This document summarizes a research paper on transit-oriented development (TOD). It begins by defining TOD as compact, mixed-use development within 500-800 meters of transit stations to enable non-motorized transport. It then reviews literature on integrating transportation and land use, and discusses TOD's emergence in the US and Europe. Challenges to implementing TOD include transit design/location, community concerns, zoning not being transit-friendly, and higher development costs/risks. Strategies discussed to incorporate affordable housing in TODs include inclusionary zoning with density bonuses, and establishing a special purpose vehicle to coordinate agencies and facilitate public-private partnerships. The conclusion reiterates arguments for TOD as an alternative
The document discusses how Honolulu, Hawaii is using 3D modeling and GIS to plan for an elevated rail system and transit-oriented development (TOD). Three core models were created - walkability, urban growth, and densification. Esri CityEngine was used to develop 3D geometry and textures of the proposed rail corridor and TOD. Holograms were also created from the 3D models to provide unique views for stakeholders and the public to communicate how the changes could positively impact the community by controlling urban sprawl and reducing traffic. The goal was to build support for the rail project and TOD approach through collaborative planning and visualization tools.
This document presents a comprehensive set of benchmarks for evaluating the outcomes of transit-oriented development (TOD). It begins with a definition of TOD and rationale for benchmarking TOD. Six benchmarks are identified: 1) transit usage and auto dependence, 2) land use/density/growth, 3) access to transit, 4) equity, 5) TOD market factors, and 6) institutional/political context. Each benchmark includes quantitative and qualitative indicators to measure TOD performance at various geographic scales. The indicators were selected based on relevance, clarity, measurability, replicability and flexibility. The benchmarks are intended to objectively measure TOD performance over time and guide regions in maximizing TOD success.
The document outlines Stuart Cohen's goals and plans as Executive Director of the Climate Investments Benefits Campaign. The campaign aims to keep California's cap-and-trade program intact, extend emission reduction goals to 2030, illustrate benefits of transportation and sustainable development investments, and shape the narrative to support replicating similar programs outside California. Cohen plans to conduct research and reports, education and outreach, and provide communications support to regional organizations. A key strategy is developing an interactive web-based map to illustrate benefits from cap-and-trade investments across different audiences and locations. The map would allow users to filter data in various ways and access detailed project reports.
This document provides information about Geographic Information Systems (GIS) including what GIS is, its applications, data types used, and importance in architecture. GIS refers to interconnected hardware, software, users, data, and procedures that together enable geospatial analysis. It is used for tasks like mapping locations and quantities, finding distances, and monitoring change over time. GIS uses vector data represented as points, lines, and polygons with coordinate pairs. It has various applications in fields like urban planning, utilities management, and transportation planning. The document also outlines how GIS can be used in architecture for tasks such as line of sight planning, noise exposure modeling, and solar exposure analysis.
IRJET-About Urban Sprawl: A Case Study of Ahmedabad CityIRJET Journal
This document discusses urban sprawl in Ahmedabad City, India. It defines urban sprawl as excessive metropolitan decentralization or suburbanization that results in low density settlements and a decentralized pattern of growth. The document examines urban sprawl in Chandkheda and Kathwada neighborhoods on the edge of Ahmedabad City. Both areas are experiencing population growth and loss of agricultural land to housing and industry. This uncontrolled growth leads to issues like increased traffic, air and water pollution, and stress on resources. Solutions discussed include smart growth practices like mixed use development and improved transit to reduce sprawl's negative environmental impacts.
Urban and spatial planning and design play an important role in shaping sustainable and resilient cities. Effective planning promotes compact and connected urban forms that reduce sprawl, support public transportation, and encourage mixed-used development. This contrasts with unplanned urban extensions and car-centric development, which have led to less sustainable sprawling urban patterns. Good planning also fosters social inclusion, protects cultural heritage and the environment, strengthens resilience, and supports strong economies by improving productivity and land values. Public participation, multi-sectoral coordination, capacity building, and context-specific solutions are essential for successful urban and spatial planning.
This document discusses the role of remote sensing and GIS in regional planning. It outlines how regional planning coordinates economic and social activities over a sub-national area and acts as a link between local and national planning. Effective regional planning requires detailed data on physical, demographic, economic and social factors. Remote sensing provides updated spatial data on land use, soil, drainage patterns and other natural resources. When integrated with socio-economic data in a GIS, this allows planners to identify resource availability, project future needs, and determine gaps to inform development plans at the regional level.
This document provides an overview of techniques for data collection, analysis, mapping, and development planning for urban and regional plans. It describes primary and secondary data collection methods including surveys, published/unpublished sources, and mapping. Key steps in the planning process are outlined, such as land use analysis, population and economic projections, suitability analysis, infrastructure assessments, and creating base maps. The use of GIS and geospatial portals like Bhuvan are also discussed for analyzing data, creating scenarios, and disseminating plans.

5. Since the completion of the Metrorail system and the adoption of land use
policies that concentrate development in the Metro Corridors, Arlington has
grown to possess a great diversity of neighborhood densities. These densities
range from low density neighborhoods dominated by single family homes to
high density, mixed-use neighborhoods located near Metro stations, and a great
variety exists somewhere in between.
Density is a complex concept. Even for trained professionals, it is difficult to
determine the density of a neighborhood by observation alone. The design of
a project (the arrangement of buildings, parking, and open space) guides how an
individual perceives density. Two different projects can have the same density,
but they can be perceived in very different ways. “A Citizen’s Guide to Density”
is a visual guide to understanding and illustrating density in Arlington County.
The General Land Use Plan (GLUP) is the primary policy guide for the future
development of Arlington County. The GLUP establishes the overall character,
extent and location of various land uses and serves as a guide to communicate
the policy of the County Board to citizens, the business community, developers,
and others involved in the development of Arlington County. Each land use
designation on the GLUP map indicates a range of densities (in units per acre
or F.A.R.) and typical uses.This guide provides illustrative, visual examples of
these density ranges so that Arlington residents may understand and effectively
participate in the public process. It is organized into four sections:
I. Introduction
II. Residential developments calculated by units per acre
III. Residential, commercial and mixed-used developments calculated by
Floor Area Ratios
IV. Appendix
Section I, Introduction, explains density concepts as they relate to the
development process in Arlington County. Section II, Units per Acre
Projects, displays residential neighborhoods or developments by their
density in terms of units per acre. Section III, Floor Area Ratio Projects,
displays developments by their density in terms of Floor Area Ratios
(F.A.R.). Finally, Section IV,Appendix, provides detailed background
information on project or neighborhood specific calculations.
In sections II and III, each page shows a development’s density and
contains photographs and diagrams that demonstrate scale, massing,
neighborhood composition, and context. Street view photographs provide
a pedestrian perspective and give a feel for the scale of the project. An
aerial image denotes the site boundary and shows the development
in relation to its surrounding neighborhood. Plan view diagrams show
neighborhood composition by emphasizing built areas, open spaces, the
street network, and proximity to Metrorail stations. These diagrams are
shown at the same scale of 1”= 2640’ (half a mile radius) to provide a
consistent framework with which to compare developments and their
associated densities.
Developments were selected to show a range of densities and are or-
dered from low to high. Developments cover a variety of housing types,
uses, and neighborhoods in Arlington. Since a development may include
multiple buildings, open spaces, or other public amenities, each develop-
ment page illustrates the boundary used in its density calculations. The
appendix contains additional detailed project boundary information.
I. INTRODUCTION
In Arlington, density is measured in terms of
units per acre or floor area ratios.
Density is the quantity and concentration of development in a particular area.

Understanding Density: Units per Acre
For the purposes of this guide, the units per acre for a site is determined by taking the number of residential or hotel units divided by the total acreage of
the site.1
Surface parking, open spaces, and other paved surfaces are included in the site area. Site areas are shown in the context images and denoted by a
dashed red line.
For a detailed look at the calculations for each development, refer to the appendix.
1. The number of residential units was obtained from a variety of County data sources including Real Estate Assessments, the Master Certificate of Occupancy permit, the Master Core and
Shell permit, Site Plan Summaries, Site Plans, and the Development Tracking Database. Site areas were obtained from Arlington County’s Geographic Information System data and generally fol-
lowed property boundaries. For Site Plan projects, the boundary followed the site plan boundary unless otherwise noted in the appendix.

7. ARLINGTON’S DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Arlington’s Development Process
Each zoning district permits a certain type and level of development “by-
right.” Beyond this, certain districts provide public review processes for
a special exception by “site plan” that allows for greater flexibility in use,
density and form of development.The Site Plan Review Process provides
a tool for the County Board to vary the uses, heights, setbacks, densities
and regulations of a zoning district for a specific project to meet goals as
reflected in adopted Sector Plans, the Comprehensive Plan or other policies.
The majority of proposals that go through the Site Plan Review Process
are for hotel, residential, office and mixed-use development in certain high
density zoning districts, usually located within the Metro Corridors.
Each site plan is filed in accordance with a public review schedule prepared
on an annual basis.The site plan is reviewed internally by staff, by a committee
of the Planning Commission called the Site Plan Review Committee, by the
Planning Commission, and finally by the County Board.The County Board
takes final actions on all site plans.The neighborhoods are invited to all
meetings.A special emphasis is placed on inviting citizens to participate in the
Site Plan Review Committee meetings, which are less formal than the public
hearings held by the Planning Commission and the County Board.
Development Process Definitions
By Right: By-right projects refer to development proposals that are
permitted under current zoning regulations and do not require special
approval by the County Board.
Site Plan: A special exception development application, review, and decision
making process for land development, which is administered through
Administrative Regulation 4.1. In certain districts within Arlington County’s
Zoning Ordinance, a site plan option is available. This form of special
exception allows more flexibility in development form, use, and density than
that permitted by right in a zoning district. The submission and approval
of a site plan permits the County Board to vary the permitted uses and
regulations in a zoning district. As an element of each site plan approval, the
County board may assign a number of conditions deemed appropriate for
the site. The County Board takes final action on all site plans.
Unified Commercial/Mixed Use Development Permit (UCMUD):
A subsection of the zoning ordinance that provides flexible, site-specific
solutions for revitalizing shopping areas, promotes the compatibility of
commercial developments and commercial districts with surrounding
properties, provides for creative opportunities to encourage and retain
local and small business, or promotes opportunities for affordable housing.
UCMUDs may be approved under use permits by the County Board.
Form Based Code: The Form Based Code regulates development in the
Columbia Pike Special Revitalization District. The FBC is a set of alternate
development regulations that emphasize proper building form, enhancement
of the pedestrian experience, and compatibility with traditional Main Street
principles.
