  1. 1. An empirical study on measuring the degree of life in cities

    Magister-uppsats, Högskolan i Gävle/Samhällsbyggnad

    Författare :Chris de Rijke; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Head tail breaks; scaling; living structure; wholeness; natural streets; urban morphology;

    Sammanfattning : Our direct environment affects our lives directly. Christopher Alexander saw that we are able to feel or see if an object or structure is natural through the characteristics of them. He also saw that we generally feel better near these living, natural structures as it more closely resembles ourselves. LÄS MER

  3. 2. A Comparison Study on Head/tail Breaks and Topfer’s Method for Model-based Map Generalization on Geographic Features in Country and City Levels

    Magister-uppsats, Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för Industriell utveckling, IT och Samhällsbyggnad

    Författare :Yue Lin; [2015]
    Nyckelord :map generalization; head tail breaks; Topfer’s selection rule; scaling property;

    Sammanfattning : Map generalization is a traditional cartographical issue which should be particularly considered in today’sinformation age. The aim of this study is to find some characteristics about head/tail breaks which worksas generalization method compared with the well known Topfer’s method. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Fractal or Scaling Analysis of Natural Cities Extracted from Open Geographic Data Sources

    Magister-uppsats, Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för Industriell utveckling, IT och Samhällsbyggnad

    Författare :KUAN-YU HUANG; [2015]
    Nyckelord :Open geographic data; box counting fractal dimension; head tail breaks classification; lacunarity; natural cities;

    Sammanfattning : A city consists of many elements such as humans, buildings, and roads. The complexity of cities is difficult to measure using Euclidean geometry. In this study, we use fractal geometry (scaling analysis) to measure the complexity of urban areas. We observe urban development from different perspectives using the bottom-up approach. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Zipf's Law for Natural Cities Extracted from Location-Based Social Media Data

    Magister-uppsats, Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för Industriell utveckling, IT och Samhällsbyggnad

    Författare :Sirui Wu; [2015]
    Nyckelord :big data; location-based social media data; Zipf s law; power law; natural cities; ht-index;

    Sammanfattning : Zipf’s law is one of the empirical statistical regularities found within many natural systems, ranging from protein sequences of immune receptors in cells to the intensity of solar flares from the sun. Verifying the universality of Zipf’s law can provide many opportunities for us to further seek the commonalities of phenomena that possess the power law behavior. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Examining the New Kind of Beauty Using the Human Being as a Measuring Instrument

    Magister-uppsats, Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för Industriell utveckling, IT och Samhällsbyggnad

    Författare :Jou-Hsuan Wu; [2015]
    Nyckelord :Cartography; scaling; head tail breaks; the theory of centers; fractals; and the mirror-of-the-self test;

    Sammanfattning : A map combines scientific facts with aesthetic perceptions. This study argues that scaling is universal in mapping reality and evoking a sense of beauty. Scaling laws are used to reveal the underlying structures and dynamics of spatial features. Complex systems, such as living cities involve various interacting entities at all scales. LÄS MER
