Many local authorities (LAs) are currently working to reduce both greenhouse gas emissions and the amount of municipal solid waste (MSW) sent to landfill. The recovery of energy from waste (EfW) can assist in meeting both of these objectives. The choice of an EfW policy combines spatial and non-spatial decisions which may be handled using Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) and Geographic Information...

This study reviews the instruments used for the clinical assessment of spasticity in children with cerebral palsy, and evaluates their compliance with the concept of spasticity, defined as a velocity-dependent increase in muscle tone to passive stretch. Searches were performed in Medline, Embase, and Cinahl, including the keywords 'spasticity', 'child', and 'cerebral palsy', to identify article...

A need exists within urban planning for techniques to promote sustainable policies and developments for this to become possible, we need to enhance and facilitate stakeholder understanding and involvement in decision making and in monitoring the impacts of management policies. GIS (Geographical Information Systems) are commonly used as planning and analysis tools in developing countries, while ...

The paper deals with modelling and management of spatial (3D) data representing real World. Two main software tools are mostly used – GIS and CAD systems. We analyze their functionality from several points of view. There are two main issues. The first one is the characteristics of environment modelled. CAD systems are oriented towards modelling individual man-made objects and structures with re...

This study aimed to prioritize the factors affecting drought, which is an important issue for sustainability of agricultural production, and classify by severity dry periods. An integrated decision model based on multi-criteria making (MCDM) techniques, Entropy, TOPSIS (Technique Order Preference Similarity Ideal Solution) MAUT (Multi Attribute Utility Theory) methods, was presented in study. T...

In GIS, understanding the layout of interior spaces has important applications in the analysis of energy efficiency, indoor navigation and atmospheric pollution. However, detailed models of building internals are usually held in engineering or architecture software, including Building Information Modelling (BIM) software such as Autodesk Revit, and are not easily understood by GIS in this forma...
