Environmental noise is a major environmental concern in metropolitan cities. The rapid social and economic growth in the 20th century is not always accompanied by adequate land planning and ...environmental management measures. As a consequence of rapid urbanization processes, cities are facing an increase in noise pollution. Noise is being recognized as a serious environmental problem and one which must be accounted for in a sustained development policy designed to improve the quality of life for citizens. Therefore, the monitoring of noise is a crucial aspect of urban planning to allow urban planners to create harmonious and livable environments for communities worldwide. This research aims at assessing the noise levels and associated sources of noise in downtown areas through the involvement of crowdsourcing techniques. The incorporation of noise mapping and increased public awareness are achieved by a framework that enables a comparative scheme between two cities: Alexandria, Egypt and Zagreb, Croatia. The methodology depends on combining crowdsourcing techniques using mobile applications and geographic information system (GIS) tools to detect and analyze noise. Finally, this research provides a comparison between the two cities using the adopted methodology and introduces recommendations to enhance urban planning decisions.
Precise drilling and excavation in future Lunar mining sites as well as in building habitats areas will be supported by robotized instrumentation. To ensure accurate positioning of facilities or ...structures, customized surveying instruments will be used to perform measurements needed for calculating locations of surveyed objects. Precise positioning in unexplored areas is difficult, even on the Earth, with all available support. This issue becomes even more complex on the Moon’s surface, considering environmental conditions and the absence of Earth logistics. This paper solves a problem of centimeter-precision positioning on the Moon’s surface. The solution is called Lunar Regional Navigation Transceiver System (LRNTS). It is based on a network of transceiver facilities, holding onboard both navigation transmitters and receivers. Transmitting modules of LRNTS act in the same way as the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) space segment, sending navigation messages to the receivers. Receiving modules are needed for self-calibration of LRNTS to calculate their coordinates. In this paper, 12 different LRNTS-simulated configuration setups within Shackleton Crater are tested against positioning accuracy and visibility along the crater. The results show that LRNTS of nine transceivers can achieve sub-centimeter horizontal and better than 2 cm vertical accuracy, with consistent visibility of six and more transceivers throughout the Shackleton Crater.
Open data is undoubtedly one of the most exciting innovations of the last decade. Data that can be (re)used freely and without restrictions is a key driver for achieving many environmental goals. ...Through the use of open crowdsourcing tools, noise monitoring is enabled by the active participation of citizens who measure noise and thus contribute to the creation of a dynamic noise map. This is consistent with the lifecycle of open data - the design of the process and practices for handling data from its creation, to the provision of open data, to its use by various parties. By participating in the crowdsourcing processes, users act as both consumers and providers of data; with enhanced capabilities of data users, such as commenting, rating, processing, or customizing to their specific needs; and then publishing new versions of the same or their own new datasets. In this way, better communication and collaboration between data users and data providers creates another root for a sustainable ecosystem by closing information and evaluation loops by supporting a broader range of use cases in services and applications on ecological issues.
Modern technology is becoming a necessity of many destinations to stay competitive and attractive to the tourist. A new form of technology that is being used increasingly is Virtual and Augmented ...Reality (AR). The aim of this paper is to display the development of a mobile AR tourism application in urban heritage called PazinAR. Although Augmented Reality has passed the initial hype stage, the technology is just on the verge of being implemented in the tourism industry. This paper describes preparation, design, implementation and execution of prototype touristic application based on Augmented Reality (AR) technology. The application was made using Unity software and AR SDK Vuforia and exported as Android applications. Created application enables overlapping old photos with current view. Furthermore, several significant implications for AR Tourism research and practice are revealed.
This research was carried out as part of a PhD thesis: local spatial data infrastructure (LSDI) assessment and development model in the Republic of Croatia. Forty-three percent of cities have GIS or ...LSDI for city management. The percentage of LSDIs in cities in Croatia is rising. In five years, from 2011 to 2016, there were six percent more LSDIs in Croatia. LSDIs in Croatia have problems with many factors related to SDI: organizational, informational, human resources, technological and financial resources. There is a difference between LSDI readiness in smaller and bigger cities. Bigger cities (by budget and by population) are much more ready than small cities for LSDI development and management. Besides the budget and population, the existence of an IT expert in city government has a positive influence on the development and quality of LSDI in cities.
The paper describes the establishment of a webGIS pilot project in the city of Sinj, based on the research of the development of local spatial data infrastructure (LSDI) as described in the doctoral ...thesis (Marasović 2020). A set of LSDI development indicatorswere tested in the pilot project. The indicators to be tested were discovered in the mentioned doctoral thesis using statistical regression, statistical correlation and focus groups. The following key indicators have been identified: 1) funding from the local level, 2) awareness, 3) support for development from the decision makers, and 4) administration and citizens recognized as the main LSDI user groups. As an example of LSDI, most main stakeholders of the city of Sinj were interviewed and mapped according to their relevant capabilities, working processes and interaction between the main stakeholders. All the identified indicators were confirmed. The pilot project confirmed that the decision on investment in LSDI from the local level decision makers is essential for its implementation. For such a decision, raising the awareness of the decision makers and citizens about the benefits of LSDI is vital. Citizens and city administration were mapped as two stakeholders which interact most among the stakeholders. Delegating an employee responsible for the implementation and support from the decision makers during the implementation process are essential for success. Human Resources and Public Relationships management activities were recognized as very important in the process of raising awareness of LSDI. decision-makers.
U radu je opisana uspostava pilot projekta webGIS rješenja u gradu Sinju bazirana na istraživanju razvoja lokalne infrastrukture prostornih podataka (LIPP) u doktorskom radu (Marasović 2020). Na uspostavljenom je pilot projektu testiran skup indikatora razvoja za daljnji razvoj LIPP-a. Indikatori koje je trebalo testirati otkriveni su u navedenom doktorskom radu koristeći statističku regresiju, statističku korelaciju i fokus grupe. To su: 1) financiranje s lokalne razine, 2) svijest o LIPP-u, 3) podrška razvoju od donositelja odluka i 4) administracija i građani prepoznati kao glavne grupe korisnika LIPP-a. Većina glavnih dionika grada Sinja intervjuirana je i shematski prikazana prema mogućnostima, radnim procesima, vrsti i intenzitetu interakcije između glavnih dionika. Svi su identificirani indikatori potvrđeni. Pilot projekt potvrdio je da je odluka o ulaganju u LIPP od donositelja odluka na lokalnoj razini bitna za provedbu. Za takvu je odluku ključno podizanje svijesti donositelja odluka i građana o prednostima LIPP-a. Građani i gradska uprava prikazani su na shemi kao dva dionika koja od svih dionika najviše komuniciraju. Odabir zaposlenika odgovornog za uspostavu sustava i podrška donositelja odluka tijekom procesa uspostave ključni su za uspjeh. Aktivnosti upravljanja ljudskim potencijalima i odnosima s javnošću prepoznate su kao vrlo važne u procesu podizanja svijesti o LIPP-u.
