Dieser Band bietet eine erste, umfassende Gesamtdarstellung der in ganz wörtlichem Sinne "genialen", aber auch entbehrungs- und gefahrenreichen Entdeckung, Erschließung und Bildwerdung Mittel-, Süd- und Osteuropas. Wie durch ein Okular lässt sich darin die Entstehung eines einmaligen und bis heute weitestgehend unerschlossenen zeichnerischen Korpus von gewaltigem Umfang beobachten, in dem sich technische und ästhetische Raumerfahrung die Waage halten. Die Aufmerksamkeit richtet sich dabei auf bemerkenswerte Persönlichkeiten, spektakuläre Karriereverläufe und herausragende Meisterleistungen der Ingenieurkunst, die aus den jeweiligen historischen Zusammenhängen heraus erleb- und nachvollziehbar werden.

This book introduces the use of various remote sensing data such as microwave, hyperspectral and very high-resolution (VHR) satellite imagery; mapping techniques including pixel and object-based machine learning; and geostatistical modelling techniques including cellular automation, entropy and land fragmentation. Remote sensing plays a vital role in solving urban and environmental challenges at the landscape level. Globally, more than half of the urban population is facing severe environmental and social challenges, especially those relating to climate change, agricultural land encroachment, green infrastructure and environmental degradation, mobility due to rapid rural¿urban transformation and anthropogenic interventions. Mapping and quantification of such threats at the landscape level are challenging for experts using traditional techniques; however, remote sensing technology provides diverse spatial data at a varying scale, volume and accessibility for mapping and modelling, and it also analyses challenges at urban and landscape levels.Together, they address challenges at urban and landscape levels to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Kvinnenes by en feministisk guide til Oslo kan du lære om de kvinnene som allerede har fått gater oppkalt etter seg. For hvem var egentlig Anna Pleym på Stovner? Eller Erika Nissen på Torshov? Og hvorfor har det unorske navnet Ruth Reeses plass havnet på Grünerløkka? Oslo er en by i forandring. Bare i løpet av det siste tiåret har en rekke nye områder, bydeler og signalbygg dukket opp. Men én ting ser ut til å holde seg stabilt - mannsdominansen. Det er fremdeles åtte ganger flere menn enn kvinner som har fått en gate oppkalt etter seg i hovedstaden, og de fleste byster og statuer forestiller menn.I tillegg har forfatterne tegnet et fiktivt kart, ett der kvinnene ikke er i mindretall: Slik kunne Oslo sett ut dersom menn ikke hadde skrevet historien og gitt gatene navn. Da ville kanskje Hegdehaugsveien hatt navn etter Amalie Skram, mens Jacob Aals gate ville blitt kaldt Ellen Gleditsch' vei. Og hver 17. mai ville vi ha sett tusener av skolebarn spasere jublende oppover Aasta Hansteens aveny opp mot Slottsplassen.Dette er en bok om hva byen har vært - og hva den kan bli.

This book brings together ten empirically rich and theoretically informed contributions that aim to clarify both geo-historical specificities and common transnational and global features of the cultures and practices of boundary making that shaped modern statehood. Written by scholars from Spain, France, Italy, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, the essays included in this volume provide a comparative international perspective on the processes of border formation, as well as an integrative approach that seeks to strengthen the links between renewed geo-historical studies and more contemporary-oriented border studies. The book is addressed to a wide range of researchers, including geographers, historians, political scientists and specialists in geopolitics and the history of international relations.

This book covers all aspects of inertial navigation systems (INS), including the sensor technology and the estimation of instrument errors, as well as their integration with Global Navigation Satellite Systems, specifically the Global Positioning System (GPS) for geodetic applications. The text is of interest to geodesists, including surveyors, mappers, and photogrammetrists; to engineers in aviation, navigation, guidance, transportation, and robotics; and to scientists involved in aerogeophysics and remote sensing. The most recent developments are covered with this second edition that also features an updated treatment of the classical material. Detailed mathematical derivations of the principles of measurement and data processing of inertial measurement units for both stabilized and strapdown systems. Complete treatment of the error dynamics from a statistical viewpoint, including the Kalman filter. A self-contained description of GPS with emphasis on kinematic applications. Key concepts supported by illustrations and numerical examples.

This volume provides a framework for evaluating geospatial software for participatory mapping. The evaluation is based on ten key indicators: ethics, cost, technical level, inclusiveness, data accuracy, data privacy, analytical capacity, visualization capacity, openness, and accessibility (i.e., mobile friendly or offline capabilities). Each application is evaluated by a user and cross analyzed with specific case studies of the software¿s real-world application. This framework does not discriminate against assessing volunteered geographic information (VGI) applications, as a form of participatory mapping, in circumstances that its application is spearheaded by underrepresented groups with the intent to empower and spark political or behavioral change within formal and informal institutions. Each chapter follows a strict template to ensure that the information within the volume can be updated periodically to match the ever-changing technological environment. The book covers ten different mapping applications with the goal of creating a comparative evaluation framework that can be easily interpreted by convening institutions and novice users. This will also help identify gaps in software for participatory mapping which will help to inform application development in the future and updates to current geospatial software.

Through examining more than 120 organizations on a global scale, this work shows how almost every human expression involves performing culture.Atlas of Performing Culture is an illustrated voyage across five continents—Asia, Africa, Europe, Oceania, and the Americas—involving the study of venues and events related to performance, the dynamic and unrepeatable mode of artistic activity capable of uniting the audience—who becomes the protagonist—with artists and works of art, architecture, and nature.The volume is organized around five thematic sections related to the physical spaces, venues, and typologies of events. The unique experience of performing art can involve an island museum in Japan, the Rio Carnival, a Brussels theatrical debut, a rave party in the British countryside, and a cultural center housed in a former funeral home in the outskirts of Paris. Alongside theaters, concert halls, and festivals, we also find museums, sculpture parks, and hybrid cultural centers that elude any attempt of cataloging.By breaking down the traditional frontiers between performance art, visual art, and performing arts, this volume takes the reader—whether specialist, practitioner, academic, or simply art aficionado—on a journey to some of the main cultural sites and performative experiences around the world. Each section offers a specific overview into leading cultural organizations, as well as a selection of similar international institutions.
