  • Smart growth by design

    Open AccessReza Mortaheb, Paul Jankowski et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning B Urban…2026

    The classical transportation problem is an important urban and regional planning and policy-making analytic tool as it has the potential to provide deep insights into the competitive advantage of locations for different activities. While the classical transportation problem and its variants have been extensively employed in commuting efficiency studies, insufficient attention has been paid to its mathematical dual. This paper aims to revisit the …

  • Social Vulnerability, Locational Vulnerability, and Uncertainty in Wildfire Risk Index Construction

    Open AccessSophia D Arabadji, Zhongqi Zheng et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the American…2026Referencias: 40

    Over the past two decades, methods to measure and account for social vulnerability, or the ability of a community to prepare for, cope with, and recover from a natural disaster, have rapidly proliferated. Recognizing the multifaceted nature of vulnerability, researchers and practitioners now seek to combine social with locational (physical) vulnerability into singular indexes designed to identify areas of high risk. Central to such efforts are co…

  • Social vulnerability gaps

    Open AccessZhongqi Zheng, Alan T Murray et al.ARTICLEApplied Geography2025

    Demographic and socio-economic omissions in social vulnerability assessments are not uncommon. However, conclusions from incomplete population characterization contribute to inequity and marginalization of at-risk segments of society, individuals who require care, resource assistance, and tailored public policy. The unsheltered homeless are considered here as an underrepresented segment of socially vulnerable people in hazard assessment. The unsh…

  • Locational Decision-Making and Representational Impacts

    Seonga Cho, Alan T Murray et al.ARTICLEThe Professional Geographer2025

    The field of location analytics has long recognized coverage and accessibility as critical problem characteristics, as reflected in the work of Weber and von Thünen, among others. Attempts to address various associated complications, assumptions, and issues abound, including uncertainty, spatial representation, discrete approximation, and heuristic and exact solution, just to name a few. This article investigates unidentified continuous demand, e…

  • Geographical Compactness in Shape Assessment

    Open AccessAlan T MurrayARTICLEGeographical Analysis2025

    Geographic shape has long been an intriguing feature of observed and defined facets of an area or region. Compactness reflects a critical element of shape with important practical and policy implications. It may suggest characteristics of urban/regional form, efficiency in trade and service provision, fairness in political representation and distributional qualities of the physical environment, among others. While there has been much study of com…

  • Critical neighborhood evacuation area identification

  • Locating and orienting facilities with anisotropic coverage

    Open AccessEnbo Zhou, Alan T Murray et al.ARTICLEComputers Environment and Urban…2025Referencias: 40

    Siting facilities strategically is critical to ensure system design efficiency, enhance social equity and reduce operational costs. Coverage models look to optimize facility configuration, often to minimize the number of necessary facilities or maximize demand served within established proximity standards. Existing location models, such as maximal covering, often assume facility standards to be isotropic, resulting in a perceived circular service…

  • Geographic Fire Response Standards Emerging from Human–Environment Interactions

    Alan T Murray, Darlene Rini et al.ARTICLEAnnals of the American…2025Citada por: 2Referencias: 44

    Natural and man-made disasters are generally characterized in terms of their human–environment interactions. Wildfire, or simply fire, is something that has naturally occurred over millions of years, but it is the interaction, disruption, and impact on humans that often generates much interest and concern. The growth of the built environment and human reliance on fire in everyday life can be a dangerous combination, putting people and property at…

  • A planning support framework to enable smart mobility

    Open AccessReza Mortaheb, Paul Jankowski et al.ARTICLEComputers Environment and Urban…2025Referencias: 40

    Planning support approaches can play a transformative role in shaping sustainable, resilient, and equitable urban landscapes that promote efficient mobility patterns. This paper develops a prescriptive framework that integrates Geographic Information Systems with a variant of the transportation problem to evaluate planning initiatives and inform land use policies and growth management strategies aimed at enhancing commuting efficiency at both loc…

  • Balancing Workloads through Co‐location in Covering Problems

    Open AccessJing Xu, Alan T Murray et al.ARTICLEGeographical Analysis2024

    Total demand suitably served and facility workload balance are two important considerations in location coverage. Previous work has dealt with workload balancing issues using a number of approaches, including imposing facility capacities and the use of multiple objectives focused on workload variation. However, a facility is usually restricted to a single service unit, inconsistent with strategies that allow for increased staffing such as multipl…

  • Mapping 3-D classroom seats based on partial object point cloud completion

    Open AccessEnbo Zhou, Alan T Murray et al.ARTICLECartography and Geographic…2024Citada por: 1Referencias: 2

    3-D classroom seating information is of great significance in a host of planning contexts including indoor navigation and facility management. Mapping classroom 3-D seats based on a single-view LiDAR scan is challenging because of occlusions and viewpoint limitations. In essence, one is left with incomplete point clouds, making object recognition difficult. The aim of this paper is to acquire complete point clouds for objects in a room based on a…

  • A location analytics perspective of regional science at a crossroad

    Open AccessAlan T MurrayARTICLEPapers of the Regional Science…2024Citada por: 1Referencias: 8

    Location analytics have been a mainstay in regional science since its inception. Why? Perhaps the biggest reason is the ability to tease out important spatial heterogeneity nuances, but also to communicate geographically oriented analysis, planning, management and policy issues in rigorous ways, often as mathematical models, that can be subjected to further scrutiny and evaluation. Further, addressing broad challenges facing emergency response, f…
