In the last decades, landslide hazard assessment has attracted many researchers' attention. A number of parameters are suggested to be responsible to quantitatively explain the mechanism of landslides; many of these parameters are very important and factual. However, some data types and models are site-specific and could not be applied to different locations. Furthermore, the data stored in continuous parameter maps are divided into a number of classes arbitrarily, depending on the vision of the expert. Basically, this division controls the result of bivariate analysis. Besides, the responsible portion of the parameter map controlling the mechanism is also weighted arbitrarily. Based on these two facts, the class boundaries put a prejudice on the produced susceptibility/hazard maps, which result in dependence on the knowledge of the user rather than being dependent on the data and the fact itself. The aim of this study is to refine the previously defined methods in a more data-dependent trend. To achieve this goal, two new concepts: seed cells and percentile maps are introduced. Seed cells are the zones that are considered to represent the best undisturbed morphological decision rules (conditions before landslide occurs) and would be achieved by adding a buffer zone to the crown and flank areas of the landslide. To quantitatively classify the input parameter maps, the data distributions of seed cells in the parameter maps are divided into a number of classes on the basis of their distribution's percentile break-points upon which the parameter maps are directly dependent on the seed cell distributions, hence to the data itself.  相似文献   

探索地理信息智能化处理技术     

黄继安  史照良 《现代测绘》2004,27(2):9-12

GIS自产生至今30多年来，世界各国都竞相开展GIS技术研究和应用开发，使其得到了迅速的发展，已形成较为完整的理论体系和大批实用系统，并已在社会各专业领域得到广泛应用并产生了巨大效益，目前，开始朝着产业化、集成化、智能化和社会化的方向发展。随着3S技术的集成应用，人们对GIS的运行效率及其深入的应用提出了更高的要求，地理信息智能化处理已成为地图学和GIS建设必须解决的问题，也是GIS发展的必然方向。在地理信息处理中采用人工智能技术，发展智能GIS或者专家GIS，是解决复杂地学问题的重要途径，也是目前GIS最吸引人的一个应用方向。目前在地理信息处理的许多领域都在使用人工智能技术，比如地图模式识别、地理数据的自动分类、地学专家系统、智能GIS、空间数据挖掘等。本文通过对当前地理信息智能化处理技术发展现状的阐述，旨在探索人工智能在地理信息处理中的应用前景。  相似文献   

Driving forces and their interactions of built-up land expansion based on the geographical detector – a case study of Beijing,China

Scientific interpretation of the driving forces of built-up land expansion is essential to urban planning and policy-making. In general, built-up land expansion results from the interactions of different factors, and thus, understanding the combined impacts of built-up land expansion is beneficial. However, previous studies have primarily been concerned with the separate effect of each driver, rather than the interactions between the drivers. Using the built-up land expansion in Beijing from 2000 to 2010 as a study case, this research aims to fill this gap. A spatial statistical method, named the geographical detector, was used to investigate the effects of physical and socioeconomic factors. The effects of policy factors were also explored using physical and socioeconomic factors as proxies. The results showed that the modifiable areal unit problem existed in the geographical detector, and 4000 m might be the optimal scale for the classification performed in this study. At this scale, the interactions between most factors enhanced each other, which indicated that the interactions had greater effects on the built-up land expansion than any single factor. In addition, two pairs of nonlinear enhancement, the greatest enhancement type, were found between the distance to rivers and two socioeconomic factors: the total investment in fixed assets and GDP. Moreover, it was found that the urban plans, environmental protection policies and major events had a great impact on built-up land expansion. The findings of this study verify that the geographical detector is applicable in analysing the driving forces of built-up land expansion. This study also offers a new perspective in researching the interactions between different drivers.  相似文献   

John Turnbull Thomson,Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society: An early New Zealand geographer          下载免费PDF全文

Michael Roche 《New Zealand geographer》2016,72(1):3-13

John Turnbull Thomson is more known in New Zealand for his work as Chief Surveyor of Otago Province (1856–1876) and first Surveyor General of New Zealand (1877–1879). He was also a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society of London from 1848 until his death in 1884. Thomson was an important and early self‐declared ‘does’ of geographer in New Zealand, prior to the establishment of university geography in 1937. Thomson's contribution included survey and mapping but he also gave public lectures on geography and contributed to debates about glaciation.  相似文献   

Landfill site selection based on reliability concepts using the DRASTIC method and AHP integrated with GIS – a case study of Bengaluru city,India

The selection of landfill sites for municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal involves consideration of geological, hydrological and environmental parameters which exhibit large spatial variability. Therefore, it is necessary to define, to what extent the chosen sites are reliable such that the probability of environmental pollution and health risks to population is minimal. In the present study, groundwater vulnerability to contamination has been assessed using the standard DRASTIC method. The results showed that the study region has 9.45% of very less, 32.94% of less, 25.47% of moderate, 22.79% of high and 9.35% of very high vulnerable zones. The study also revealed that none of the landfills are located in safe zones. This suggests that it requires proper remedial measures to avoid environmental pollution. A landfill site selection process has been carried out using the Analytical Hierarchy Process integrated with Geographical Information System tools. The obtained results showed that only 3.59?km² (0.08%) of the total area is suitable for landfills. The reliability analysis of the site suitability revealed that landfills are located at unreliable locations where the probability of risk to environmental pollution is high. The presented approach assists decision-makers in selecting reliable locations for the safe disposal of MSW.  相似文献

地理环境在经济和社会发展中的作用的再认识──关于对“地理环境决定论”批判的反思的反思   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

王守春 《地理研究》1995,(1)

地理环境与经济和社会发展的关系是地理学研究的重要内容。虽然１９７２年斯德哥尔摩联合国人类环境会议发表的“人类环境宣言”和１９９２年的“里约环境与发展宣言”大大地增强了人们的环境意识，但是，在我国，关于地理环境对经济和社会的发展所起的作用的认识仍然很不够，这是由于在本世纪中期对“地理环境决定论”的批判还没有得到很好地反省。关于地理环境对经济和社会发展所起作用的认识不够主要表现如下诸方面。在理论上，许多研究者在这个问题上的观点彼此差异甚大，某些研究者甚至发表自相矛质的和混乱的见解，地理环境在社会发展中究竟是起决定作用，还是在一定条件下起决定作用，或者是起影响作用，直到目前仍未得到一致认识。而在国民经济建设的实践中，忽视地理环境的作用仍然很普遍。因此，地理环境与经济和社会发展的关系问题，无论在理论上和在国民经济建设以及社会发展的实践中都有必要进一步予以探讨。  相似文献

人类认识自己住居的星球是漫长的,然而是加速度的。学科的分化和交叉是多层次的。统一地理学一再遭受过冲击,但它的合理的内核——地理综合体是客观存在的。地图和遥感作为信息载体证实了这一观点。地理系统的概念反映当代科学技术进步和社会需求;而地理信息系统为地理学发挥区域性与综合性的优势提供了一种现代化的高技术手段。  相似文献
