GIS and Urban Mining
نویسنده
چکیده
Geographical information systems (GIS) are a kind of location intelligence technology that supports systematic collection, integration, analysis and sharing of spatial data. They provide an effective tool for characterising and visualising geographical distributions of recyclable resources or materials dispersed across urban environments in what may be described as “urban mines”. As logistics can be a key barrier to recycling, GIS are critical for capturing and analysing location intelligence about the distribution and values of recyclable resources and associated collection systems to effectively empower and inform the policy makers and the broader community with comprehensive, accurate and accessible information. This paper reviews the functionality of modern GIS, discusses the potential role of GIS in urban mining studies, and describes how GIS can be used to measure, report, analyse and visualise the spatial or geographical characteristics of dispersed stocks of recyclable waste and their collection and recovery systems. Such information can then be used to model material flows and assess the social and environmental impacts of urban mining. Issues and challenges in the use of GIS for urban mining are also to be addressed.

For an efficient recovery and reuse of resources of the building stock, as described in urban mining, information about prospective quantities and qualities of resources is essential. For current stock projections with the so-called bottom-up-method, especially information about building types and building ages has to be known. Currently there is a lack of continuous datasets regarding detailed...

There is a long tradition of describing cities through a focus on the characteristics of their residents. A brief review of the history of this approach to describing cities highlights some persistent challenges. To fit within the constraints of widely used multivariate data reduction techniques and thematic cartography populations are classified. Historically, this classification has been guid...
