BACKGROUND Dengue is a widely spread vector-borne disease. Dengue cases in the Americas have increased over the last few decades, affecting various urban spaces throughout these continents, including the tourism-oriented city of Girardot, Colombia. Interactions among mosquitoes, pathogens and humans have recently been examined using different temporal and spatial scales in attempts to determine...

This research offers a new framework for assessing social vulnerability to climate change. A social vulnerability assessment trial was carried out for Chinese coastal cities at the county level. First, the 10 factors having the most influence on social vulnerability were identified. They are “House with no lavatory”, “House with no bath facilities”, “Employees in primary industry”, “Houses with...

One of the primary objectives transportation engineering is to increase safety road infrastructure. This study seeks determine relationship between geometric design parameters in relation accident criteria based on hotspots Jordan’s Desert Highway. The data (from 2016 2019) were collected from Jordan Traffic Department. spatial pattern was identified using a GIS tool named Getis-Ord Gi* severit...

Spatial autocorrelation (SAC) is the dependence of a given variable’s values on the values of the same variable recorded at neighboring locations (Cliff and Ord 1973; Fortin and Dale 2005). When high values are associated with relatively high values at neighboring locations, SAC is said to be positive and, conversely, where high values correspond to relatively low values at neighboring location...

• Thermal comfort and air quality was successfully coupled for outdoor index. Moderate to very strong heat stress observed during daytime. Statistically significant hotspots poor were identified. Poor zones clustered around large metropolitan areas. Operational framework will serve as a forecasting tool activities. Current bioclimate indices provide insufficient information about the combined e...

Landsat remote sensing image is a widely used data source in water sensing. Normalized difference index (NDWI), modified normalized (MNDWI) and automated extraction (AWEI) are commonly classifiers. In the process of their application, because threshold varies with location time research object, how to select highest classification accuracy time-consuming challenging task. The purpose this study...

Spatial autocorrelation is a method of Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA). The latter set of methods allow for the study and understanding of the spatial distribution and spatial structure as well as they allow for detecting spatial dependence or autocorrelation in spatial data. More specifically, spatial autocorrelation is the correlation between the values of a single variable that is s...
