  • You’re Surrounded! Measuring the Enclosure of Airports in Urban Areas

    Tais Grippa, Frédéric DobruszkesARTICLEThe Professional Geographer2023

    Airport location is a well-known planning issue that can have a significant impact on a city’s accessibility, economy, noise pollution, and residents’ well-being. In this article, we leverage existing open-source geoinformation and geographical information system (GIS) software to compute statistical indicators that allow us to characterize worldwide the extent to which airports are enclosed in their surrounding urban environment, considering bot…

  • Geographical random forests

    Open AccessStefanos Georganos, Tais Grippa et al.ARTICLEGeocarto International2021

    Machine learning algorithms such as Random Forest (RF) are being increasingly applied on traditionally geographical topics such as population estimation. Even though RF is a well performing and generalizable algorithm, the vast majority of its implementations is still ‘aspatial’ and may not address spatial heterogenous processes. At the same time, remote sensing (RS) data which are commonly used to model population can be highly spatially heterog…

  • Domain Adaptation for Semantic Segmentation of Historical Panchromatic Orthomosaics in Central Africa

    Open AccessNicholus Mboga, Stefano D’Aronco et al.ARTICLEISPRS International Journal of…2021

    Multitemporal environmental and urban studies are essential to guide policy making to ultimately improve human wellbeing in the Global South. Land-cover products derived from historical aerial orthomosaics acquired decades ago can provide important evidence to inform long-term studies. To reduce the manual labelling effort by human experts and to scale to large, meaningful regions, we investigate in this study how domain adaptation techniques and…

  • Towards user-driven earth observation-based slum mapping

    Open AccessMaxwell Owusu, Monika Kuffer et al.ARTICLEComputers Environment and Urban…2021

    Earth observation (EO) capabilities to produce up-to-date geographical information on slums over large areas supporting urban planning and evidence-based policymaking are largely acknowledged. Most EO studies typically use a data-driven approach without an understanding of end-user requirements. This study addresses this gap by aligning EO methods with societal needs and concerns using a user-driven approach in Accra, Ghana. By carrying out in-si…

  • Need for an Integrated Deprived Area "Slum" Mapping System (Ideamaps) in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs)

    Open AccessDana R Thomson, Monika Kuffer et al.ARTICLESocial Sciences2020Cited by: 13References: 34

    Ninety percent of the people added to the planet over the next 30 years will live in African and Asian cities, and a large portion of these populations will reside in deprived neighborhoods defined by slum conditions, informal settlement, or inadequate housing. The four current approaches to neighborhood deprivation mapping are largely siloed, and each fall short of producing accurate, timely, and comparable maps that reflect local contexts. The …

  • Extending Data for Urban Health Decision-Making

    Open AccessDana R Thomson, Catherine Linard et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Health2019Cited by: 4References: 8

    Area-level indicators of the determinants of health are vital to plan and monitor progress toward targets such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Tools such as the Urban Health Equity Assessment and Response Tool (Urban HEART) and UN-Habitat Urban Inequities Surveys identify dozens of area-level health determinant indicators that decision-makers can use to track and attempt to address population health burdens and inequalities. However,…

  • Mouvements migratoires et dynamiques des quartiers à Bruxelles

    Open AccessGilles Van Hamme, Tais Grippa et al.ARTICLEBrussels Studies2016

    Cet article vise à cerner le rôle des mouvements migratoires dans les dynamiques de transformation socio-démographique des quartiers en région de Bruxelles-Capitale et à en tirer quelques réflexions en termes d’implications politiques. De cette analyse des mouvements migratoires complexes que connaît la Région, on peut tirer quelques éléments synthétiques forts. Les territoires les plus pauvres de la ville, dits du « croissant pauvre », sont à la…

  • Migratory movements and dynamics of neighbourhoods in Brussels

    Open AccessGilles Van Hamme, Tais Grippa et al.ARTICLEBrussels Studies2016

    This article is aimed at defining the role of migratory movements in the dynamics of the sociodemographic transformation of neighbourhoods in the Brussels-Capital Region, and at making some observations in terms of political implications. There are several significant summarising elements which may be drawn from this analysis of complex migratory movements in the Region. The poorest territories in the city – the “poor area” – are at the crossroad…

  • Migratiebewegingen en dynamische processen in de Brusselse wijken

    Open AccessGilles Van Hamme, Tais Grippa et al.ARTICLEBrussels Studies2016

    Dit artikel onderzoekt de rol van de migratiebewegingen in de dynamische processen die leiden tot de sociaaldemografische transformatie van de wijken in het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest en formuleert enkele beschouwingen over de beleidsimplicaties daarvan. Uit deze analyse van de complexe migratiebewegingen in het Gewest kunnen enkele significante samenvattende conclusies worden getrokken. De armste gebieden van de stad, de zogenaamde “arme hal…
