Delineation of demographic regions with GIS and computational intelligence
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a methodology for the creation of homogeneous demographic regions with geographical information systems (GIS) and computational intelligence. The proposed method is unsupervised fuzzy classification performed by neural networks using the fuzzy Kohonen algorithm. GIS technology offers a powerful set of tools for the input, management, and output of data, whereas computational intelligence is used for the analysis and the classification of the data. The proposed methodology is applied to the municipality of Athens, in Greece. Finally the advantages and disadvantages of the approach are discussed. DOI:10.1068/b1296

متن کاملAutomating the administration boundary design process using Hierarchical Spatial Reasoning (HSR) theory and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
This paper addresses the problems associated with the integration of data between incongruent boundary systems. Currently, the majority of spatial boundaries are designed in an uncoordinated manner with individual organisations generating individual boundaries to meet individual needs. As a result, current technologies for analysing geospatial information such as Geographic Information Systems ...
متن کاملExploring spatial data through computational intelligence: a joint perspective
The dramatic increase in geospatial data occasioned by developments in digital mapping, remote sensing, IT, and widespread generalization of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), emphasises the importance of exploring new approaches to spatial analysis and modelling. This favours the creation of new knowledge and eventually helps the process of scientific discovery. In this context the special ...
متن کاملEffects of Caspian Sea water level fluctuations on existing drains
This study is an attempt to develop an integrated methodology to predict the impact of the Caspian Sea on flooding using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and hydrodynamic modeling. A rise in the sea level might lead to major flooding events, and have a severe impact on the spatial development of cities and regions. The feasibility of simulating a flood event along a drain channel is evaluat...
