Meeting sustainable development objectives is a complex and temporal process that involves multiple stakeholders. The creation of economic wealth, social stability and environmental protection can be achieved through developing products and services that are based on spatial information collected by all levels of government. These objectives can be facilitated by developing a spatially enabled ...

One of the important aspects of developing Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is to facilitate data sharing and data access. In order to achieve optimum access and use of spatial data within an SDI there is a need of knowledge about the management of data, metadata, and web services and their related processes. There are many SDI initiatives under development in many jurisdictions, and hence the...

The need to create multi-participant, decision-supported environments to address the issues of sustainable development and improving the quality of life creates a growing need to organise data across disciplines and organisations through different forms of spatial data infrastructure (SDI). This infrastructure is fundamentally a concept about facilitation and coordination of the exchange and sh...

Stand growth models are needed for a variety of forestry practices, primarily management plans and silvicultural studies. The goal this study was to create stand-level natural, pure even-aged stands Calabrian pine in the central Mediterranean region Turkey. area consists natural located within boundaries Antalya Mersin Regional Forestry Directorates Data collected from 486 temporary plots scatt...

Forest stand boundaries are usually represented on vegetation maps as fine lines all having the same width. Thus spatial accuracy and precision are considered to be uniform over an entire map. However, real forest boundaries — i.e., those that can be observed on the ground— differ in degree of definition and contrast between adjacent stands. This study examines the association between ecologica...

As the interface between marine and land environments, coasts have diverse and ever increasing conflicting pressures and demands requiring effective administration and management which is underpinned by the need for access to spatial information. Spatial data is recognised as a critical resource to underpin effective and sustainable management and administration. Spatial Data Infrastructures (S...

Aim of study: The aim of this paper is to compare differences in growth per hectare of species in pure and mixed stands as they result from different definitions of species proportions. Area of study: We used the data of the Spanish National Forest Inventory for Scots pine and beech mixtures in the province of Navarra and for Scots pine and Pyrenean oak mixtures in the Central mountain range an...

This paper evaluates and assesses the risk associated with capital allocation in cryptocurrencies (CCs). In this regard, we take a basket of 27 CCs CC index EWCI− into account. After considering series statistical tests find stable distribution (SDI) to be most appropriate model body returns. However, as SDI possess less favorable properties tail area for high quantiles, generalized Pareto is a...

The field of Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is developing and approaches rapidly a “critical mass” of more or less operational SDIs. The purpose of the paper is to anticipate the possible impact of the maturing SDI field on its research agenda. Initial initiatives were predominantly techno centred whereas present initiatives are generally placed within current practices and developments in t...

The task of assessing SDI is difficult due to their complex, dynamic and constantly evolving nature. However as an SDI can be treated as a Complex Adaptive System, the assessment should include strategies for evaluating those kinds of systems. One such strategy is to use multiple assessment approaches and methods. We present the multi-view framework for assessing SDI initiatives around the worl...
