Through the care of local nurses who can flexibly respond to any disaster, we have been visualizing the care and communication for disaster risk reduction while using new technologies. The local nurse is a knowledge base that exists continuously in the community and is most concerned with the health, safety, and security of the people in the society. It is expected to play a coordinating role in local health crises from the long-term and holistic perspective forward. ``Target 3.d strengthen the capacity of all countries, in particular developing countries.&#039;&#039; Therefore, it is critical to update the knowledge about ``early warning, risk reduction, and management of national and global health risks.&#039;&#039; Its social context and commitment to a sustainable future need to be revised and updated periodically to keep pace with new technologies and developments. Mutual support involving community-based organizations, private nonprofit organizations, private companies, educational and research institutions, and academic institutions is also essential. Broadening the space for action and allowing for more dialogue were also required to enable each institution to coordinate its response as appropriate. Thinking within a diverse global agenda frameworks allows for a multilateral and multisectoral approach to realizing the SDGs. This book would show a comprehensive ``big blueprint&#039;&#039; for global citizen to understand. ``No one&#039;s health and well-being will be left behind&#039;&#039; through disaster nursing and disaster risk reduction with emerging communication and data.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>5</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyagawa, Shoko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Joshi, Archana Shrestha</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kanbara, Sakiko</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kanbara, Sakiko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyagawa, Shoko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author></secondary-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Case Studies of ICT/GIS Application for DRR</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Disaster Nursing, Primary Health Care and Communication in Uncertainty</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2022</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-98297-3_28</style></url></web-urls></urls><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Springer International Publishing</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cham</style></pub-location><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">317–325</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">978-3-030-98297-3</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">This chapter introduces suitable applications for disaster risk reduction (DRR) using information technologies and geospatial information in primary health care.

Past experiences on extreme emergencies and disasters have taught communities the value of preparedness. Information is key in responding to health crises especially in areas where health capacity is challenged. This chapter explains the necessity of identifying appropriate health and disaster data and proposes its transformation to information needed for decision-making. It presents different examples of systems and datasets that were used for the management of response during disasters and extreme emergencies. By introducing examples from Japan and Philippines, this chapter also points out that aside from medical data, nonmedical data, such as lifestyle and hygiene information, are necessary to protect the health of disaster victims.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sritart, Hiranya</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taertulakarn, Somchat</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kanbara, Sakiko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spatial Equity and Healthcare Access in the COVID-19 Pandemic</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Medical and Health Informatics</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2022</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://doi.org/10.1145/3545729.3545782</style></url></web-urls></urls><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Association for Computing Machinery</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">New York, NY, USA</style></pub-location><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9781450396301</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Healthcare facilities around the world become overwhelmed by the number of infected coronavirus patients that needed to be treated during the COVID-19 outbreak, resulting in medical staff and healthcare services shortages. Regarding to understand and minimize the inequalities in healthcare services, it is crucial to evaluate the available healthcare resource, particularly the intensive care unit (ICU) beds that are critical for the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this study aims to explore and determine the spatial distribution of the confirmed COVID-19 patients and the healthcare capacities in the province of Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand. Applying the GIS platform with the data analysis of 2SFCA (Two-Step Floating Catchment Area) based approach, we emphasize the spatial distribution of both patients and healthcare resources in the study area. The spatial accessibility index regarding the physicians and ICU beds was determined and highlighted in each district. Additionally, the vulnerable regions were identified by the level of healthcare accessibility. We believe this study offers valuable insight in gaining a better understanding and supporting effective response activities toward pandemic resilience.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>5</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kanbara, Sakiko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Joshi, Archana Shrestha</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyagawa, Shoko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kanbara, Sakiko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyagawa, Shoko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author></secondary-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sustainable Development Goals SeriesDisaster Nursing, Primary Health Care and Communication in UncertaintyCare for Disaster Risk Reduction</style></title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2022</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-98297-3_4</style></url></web-urls></urls><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Springer International Publishing</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cham</style></pub-location><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31 -

Several traditional measures have been in place but seem not very successful. This paper applies the agent-based transportation model MATSim for a transportation analysis in Bangkok to assess the impact of spatiotemporal transportation demand management measures. We collect required data for the simulation from various data sources and apply maximum likelihood estimation with the limited data available. We investigate two demand management scenarios, peak time shift, and decentralization. As a result, we found that these spatiotemporal peak shift measures are effective for road transport to alleviate congestion and reduce travel time. However, the effect of those measures on public transport is not uniform but depends on the users’ circumstances. On average, the simulated results indicate that those measures increase the average travel time and distance. These results suggest that demand management policies require considerations of more detailed conditions to improve usability. The study also confirms that microsimulation can be a tool for transport demand management assessment in developing countries.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sritart, Hiranya</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tuntiwong, Kuson</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taertulakarn, Somchat</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Disparities in Healthcare Services and Spatial Assessments of Mobile Health Clinics in the Border Regions of Thailand</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health</style></secondary-title><short-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IJERPH</style></short-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2021</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jan-10-2021</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/18/20/10782</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10782</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bencure, Jannet C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tripathi, Nitin K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ninsawat, Sarawut</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kim, Sohee Minsun</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Factors affecting decision-making in land valuation process using AHP: a case in the Philippines</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">International Journal of Housing Markets and Analysis</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2021</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2021</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://doi.org/10.1108/IJHMA-11-2020-0136</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ahead-of-print</style></volume><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1753-8270</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Purpose The research aims to establish importance scheme of geospatial factors for land valuation activities that may serve as an eye-opener and aid the concerned government agencies in drafting land valuation policies and guidelines to achieve a sound land governance and administration. It specifically identifies and weighs geospatial valuation factors to establish their importance. Design/methodology/approach The research involves discussions and survey questionnaires given to land experts (i.e. appraisers, environmental planners, land economist, geodetic engineers and assessors) who indicated their opinions on influence of geospatial factors on land value. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is then used to weigh the factors in terms of its importance. Findings The result was then compared with the multiple regression analysis (MRA) taking into consideration the standardized regression coefficient of the 15 factors. The AHP method found out the major road accessibility and slope direction as the most and least influential factors, respectively, while surprisingly MRA found major road accessibility not significant at p &lt; 0.05 level of significance. Research limitations/implications The research generally reflects the sub-urban type of study area; hence, inclusion of other road types such as express ways and subways and performing sensitivity analysis of AHP are suggested in future studies. Practical implications The findings of the study will provide information of concerned government agencies in improving valuation activities, as well as to update values regularly based on the geospatial factors. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first effort to rank geospatial factors with analytic hierarchy analytic process that further considered both their negative and positive influences on land value. The approach surmounts the flaw and shortcomings of empirical methods of identifying importance of factors.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ahead-of-print</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sirikanjanaanan, Sirinya</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Somwang, Arissara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jitkuntee, Pornchanok</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Land Cover Change Analysis of Metro Manila, the Philippines using Time-Series Landsat Data for 1989, 2004 and 2019</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">宇宙からの地球環境・災害のモニタリングとリスク評価: 生研フォーラム論文集= Monitoring of Global Environment and Disaster Risk Assessment from Space: the IIS Forum proceedings</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2021</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">東京大学生産技術研究所地球環境工学研究グループ</style></publisher><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ngatu, Nlandu Roger</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Muzembo, Basilua Andre</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Choomplang, Nattadech</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kanbara, Sakiko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wumba, Roger</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ikeda, Mitsunori</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mbelambela, Etongola Papy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Muchanga, Sifa Marie-Joelle</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Suzuki, Tomoko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wada, Koji</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Al Mahfuz, Hasan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sugishita, Tomohiko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ikeda, Shunya</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hirao, Tomohiro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Malaria rapid diagnostic test (HRP2/pLDH) positivity, incidence, care accessibility and impact of community WASH Action programme in DR Congo: mixed method study involving 625 households</style></title><short-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Malaria Journal</style></short-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2021</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2021/02/27</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://doi.org/10.1186/s12936-021-03647-9</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">117</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1475-2875</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Malaria is one of the most prevalent and deadliest illnesses in sub-Saharan Africa.

They collect and report epidemiological information by using easy-to-use technology in communities in which access to health information of the populace is hindered by catastrophic accidents or other geo-/socio-political reasons. EpiNurse Nepal Project (August 2015–April 2016) carried out epidemiological surveillances at 24 camps in 9 districts after the 2015 Nepal earthquake. By applying ICT and questionnaire, EpiNurse member nurses collected shelter-related data and information, such as location and timestamps, and geo-tagged photos. Identification of typical health behavior patterns and comparative information about differences between community and temporary shelters provided insights into the health security assessment. This initiative experiments how nurse should collect and deliver the health emergency information on their own local culture, lifestyle, and perceptions. The potential of EpiNurse concept lies not only in producing innovative research outcomes by improving or optimizing existing ICT application in health sector, but also in promoting research knowledge and exchange of ideas regarding social issues and challenges in the field of health emergency and community resilience. The most critical challenge in practice relates to collecting and storing data, which later would have been generated into reasonable health security index information to be used for predicting the likelihood of occurrence of health emergency events. It is necessary to apply human behavior modeling using geospatial technology in order to create data transferring modules for first responders and civilian populations regarding DRR and behaviors.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peungnumsai, Apantri</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Witayangkurn, Apichon</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kim, Sohee Minsun</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A Grid-Based Spatial Analysis for Detecting Supply–Demand Gaps of Public Transports: A Case Study of the Bangkok Metropolitan Region</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sustainability</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2020</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/12/24/10382</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10382</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public transport service has been promoted to reduce the problems of traffic congestion and environmental impacts due to car dependency. Several public transportation modes are available in Bangkok Metropolitan Region (BMR) such as buses, heavy rails, vans, boats, taxis, and trains while in some areas have fewer modes of public transport available. The disparity of public transport service negatively impacts social equity. This study aims to identify the gaps between public transport supply and demand and to demonstrate introduced indicators to assess the public transport performance incorporating transport capacity and equilibrium access aspects. Supply index was used to evaluate the level of service, and the demand index was applied to estimate travel needs. Furthermore, the Lorenz curves and the Gini coefficients were used to measure the equity of public transport. The results highlight that more than half of the BMR population is living in low-supply high-demand areas for public transportation. Moreover, the equitable access analysis has identified that the high-income population has better access to public transport than the low-income population. The results suggest that public transport gaps and equity indicate the inclusiveness of public transportation, as well as to the areas where to improve the public transport service. Thus, the methodology used in this study can be applied to another city or region similar to BMR.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Koga, Yohei</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shibasaki, Ryosuke</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A Method for Vehicle Detection in High-Resolution Satellite Images that Uses a Region-Based Object Detector and Unsupervised Domain Adaptation</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Remote Sensing</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2020</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/12/3/575</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">575</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recently, object detectors based on deep learning have become widely used for vehicle detection and contributed to drastic improvement in performance measures. However, deep learning requires much training data, and detection performance notably degrades when the target area of vehicle detection (the target domain) is different from the training data (the source domain). To address this problem, we propose an unsupervised domain adaptation (DA) method that does not require labeled training data, and thus can maintain detection performance in the target domain at a low cost. We applied Correlation alignment (CORAL) DA and adversarial DA to our region-based vehicle detector and improved the detection accuracy by over 10% in the target domain. We further improved adversarial DA by utilizing the reconstruction loss to facilitate learning semantic features. Our proposed method achieved slightly better performance than the accuracy achieved with the labeled training data of the target domain. We demonstrated that our improved DA method could achieve almost the same level of accuracy at a lower cost than non-DA methods with a sufficient amount of labeled training data of the target domain.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sritart, Hiranya</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kanbara, Sakiko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hara, Takashi</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Methodology and Application of Spatial Vulnerability Assessment for Evacuation Shelters in Disaster Planning</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sustainability</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2020</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/12/18/7355</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7355</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Evacuation shelters are the most important means for safeguarding people in hazardous areas and situations, and thus minimizing losses, particularly those due to a disaster. Therefore, evacuation shelter assignment and evacuation planning are some of the critical factors for reducing vulnerability and increasing resilience in disaster risk reduction. However, an imbalance of shelter distribution and spatial heterogeneity of a population are the critical issues limiting the accessibility of evacuation shelters in real situations. In this study, we propose a methodology for spatial assessment to reduce vulnerability and evaluate the spatial distribution of both shelter demand and resources, considering spatial accessibility. The method was applied to the case study of Mabi, in the context of a disaster caused by the 2018 flooding. We applied this approach to evaluate the area and identified the vulnerability of the evacuation shelters and the residents. The proposed method revealed that 54.55% of the designated evacuation shelters and 59% of the total population were physically vulnerable to the flood. The results highlight, using GIS maps, that the total shelter capacity was significantly decreased to 43.86%. The outcome assessment addressed specific vulnerable shelters and the imbalance between the demand for and resources of each shelter. Accordingly, this study provides practical information and a valuable reference for supporting local governments and stakeholders to improve future disaster planning, prevention, and preparedness.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dadhich, Gautam</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Babel, Mukand</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Applications of SENTINEL-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery for Floods Damage Assessment: a Case Study of Nakhon SI Thammarat, Thailand</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">42</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2/W13</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bencure, Jannet C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tripathi, Nitin K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ninsawat, Sarawut</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kim, Sohee Minsun</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Development of an Innovative Land Valuation Model (iLVM) for Mass Appraisal Application in Sub-Urban Areas Using AHP: An Integration of Theoretical and Practical Approaches</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sustainability</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/11/13/3731</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Land development in sub-urban areas is more frequent than in highly urbanized cities, causing land prices to increase abruptly and making it harder for valuers to update land values in timely manner. Apart from this, the non-availability of sufficient reliable market values forces valuers to use alternatives and subjective judgement. Land value is critical not only for private individuals but also for government agencies in their day-to-day land dealings. Thus, mass appraisal is necessary. In other words, despite the importance of reliable land value in all aspects of land administration, valuation remains disorganized, with unregulated undertakings that lack concrete scientific, legal, and practical foundations. A holistic and objective way of weighing geospatial factors through expert consultation, legal reviews, and evidence (i.e., news) will provide more realistic results than a regression-based method that does not comprehend valuation factors (i.e., physical, social, economic, environmental, and legal aspects). The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) enables these factors to be included in the model, hence providing a realistic result. The innovative land valuation model (iLVM), developed in this study, is an inclusive approach wherein experts are involved in the selection and weighing of 15 factors through the AHP. The model was validated using root mean squared error (RMSE) and compared with multiple regression analysis (MRA) through a case study in Baybay City, Philippines. Based on the results, the iLVM (RMSE = 0.526) outperformed MRA (RMSE = 1.953).</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Devkota, Bidur</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Witayangkurn, Apichon</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kim, Sohee Minsun</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Using Volunteered Geographic Information and Nighttime Light Remote Sensing Data to Identify Tourism Areas of Interest</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sustainability</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/11/17/4718</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4718</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Easy, economical, and near-real-time identification of tourism areas of interest is useful for tourism planning and management. Numerous studies have been accomplished to analyze and evaluate the tourism conditions of a place using free and near-real-time data sources such as social media. This study demonstrates the potential of volunteered geographic information, mainly Twitter and OpenStreetMap, for discovering tourism areas of interest. Active tweet clusters generated using Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) clustering algorithm and building footprint information are used to identify touristic places that ensure the availability of basic essential facilities for travelers. Furthermore, an investigation is made to examine the usefulness of nighttime light remotely sensed data to recognize such tourism areas. The study successfully discovered important tourism areas in urban and remote regions in Nepal which have relatively low social media penetration. The effectiveness of the proposed framework is examined using the F1 measure. The accuracy assessment showed F1 score of 0.72 and 0.74 in the selected regions. Hence, the outcomes of this study can provide a valuable reference for various stakeholders such as tourism planners, urban planners, and so on.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kanbara, Sakiko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ngatu, Nlandu Roger</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pokhrel, Tara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pandey, Apsara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sharma, Chandrakara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lee, Hyeon J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyagawa, Shoko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nojima, Sayumi</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The 2015 Nepal Earthquake Disaster: Is the Threat of Occurrence of Communicable Disease Epidemic Over?</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">International Journal of Indonesian National Nurses Association (IJINNA)</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://ijinna-ppni.org/ijinna2/index.php/IJINNA/article/view/32</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">105-110</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal Article</style></work-type></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dwivedi, Uttam</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shibasaki, Ryosuke</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Building type classification in Mozambique using mobile phone data, high-res satellite images, night-time light data and digital surface model</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mapping Urban Areas from Space Conference 2018</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">digital surface model</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">high-rise residential buildings</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">low-rise residential</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">non-residential buildings</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10/2018</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://muas2018.esa.int/agenda/</style></url></web-urls></urls><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Roma, Italy</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">According to the UN DESA report “World Population Prospects: The 2015 Revision”, The world population is expected to grow 33% by the year 2050. With the highest rate of population growth, Africa is expected to account for more than the half of the world’s population growth between 2015 and 2050. The study area presented in this paper is the Republic of Mozambique, an African country with 70% of its population of 28 million (2016) living and working in rural areas. The Real gross domestic product (GDP) of the country was 3.7% in 2017 shows it’s struggle of poor macroeconomic stability and investment of private sector.

High income countries often have extensive mapping resources and expertise to create reliable and accurate building maps and population databases, but across the low-income regions of the world, relevant data are either lacking or are of poor quality. For low-income regions of the world, accurate maps of human population distribution together with the knowledge of building types and its quantitative measures can play an essential part in planning for elections, calculating per-capita gross domestic product (GDP), poverty mapping, city planning, disaster management amongst countless other applications.

The rapid growth in availability of high resolution satellite imagery, computing power and expansion of geospatial analysis tools over the past decade are providing new opportunities to solve such problems. The use of high resolution images, geospatial data and road network together with state of the art machine learning technology can improve the understanding of human population distribution and building type estimation, which is necessary to predict the future infrastructure management for increasing population because it can be expanded to a bigger scale easily unlike the traditionally used method based on human visual interpretation and survey data collection.

In this paper, we proposed a methodology to classify the types of buildings in three classes; high- rise residential buildings, low-rise residential and non-residential buildings. We have used state- of-the-art machine learning algorithm on the combination of mobile phone sample data collected from a survey, high resolution satellite images, digital surface model and night time light data to extract the building footprints and classify the types of the buildings. The comparing results indicated that our methodology classified types of buildings efficiently with the accuracy of 84%.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Koga, Yohei</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shibasaki, Ryosuke</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A CNN-Based Method of Vehicle Detection from Aerial Images Using Hard Example Mining</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Remote Sensing</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/10/1/124</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">124</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal Article</style></work-type></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>5</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shibasaki, Ryosuke</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Development of On-Demand Human Settlement Mapping System Using Historical Satellite Archives</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Urban Remote Sensing</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year></dates><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0429888554</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>6</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shibasaki, Ryosuke</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fukuyo, Takayoshi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verspieren, Quentin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anbumozhi, Venkatachalam</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Integrated Spaced-Based Geospatial System: Strengthening ASEAN&#039;s Resilience and Connectivity</style></title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.eria.org/publications/integrated-space-based-geospatial-system-strengthening-aseans-resilience-and-connectivity/</style></url></web-urls></urls><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jakarta, Indonesia</style></pub-location><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">978-602-5460-05-0</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In recent decades, regional organisations have become increasingly active in connectivity disasters. This reflects a broader growing trend of intensifying regional cooperation for building resilient communities. However, the potentials of space and geospatial technology and their role in sustainable development and strengthening resilience is not clear. They can improve the efficiency and resilience of industrial operations and effectively address issues in the regional economic integration of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). This report examines the possibilities and models of transborder mechanisms to deliver geospatial and space-based information from data providers to end users in disaster-affected areas, and financial schemes involving the private sector or public–private partnerships to enable the collaborative integration of the technologies in practical ways. It provides vital information about what combinations of technologies have been applied and how they have contributed to the resilience of urban development, infrastructure planning and management, transportation management, and agricultural operations.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio"

open high-resolution remote sensing images. We select Google Earth (GE) RGB images to perform the classification in order to examine its suitability for village mapping, and investigate the feasibility of using machine learning methods to provide automatic classification in such fields. By analyzing the characteristics of GE images, we design different features on the basis of two kinds of supervised machine learning methods for classification: adaptive boosting (AdaBoost) and convolutional neural networks (CNN). To recognize village buildings via their color and texture information, the RGB color features and a large number of Haar-like features in a local window are utilized in the AdaBoost method; with multilayer trained networks based on gradient descent algorithms and back propagation, CNN perform the identification by mining deeper information from buildings and their neighborhood. Experimental results from the testing area at Savannakhet province in Laos show that our proposed AdaBoost method achieves an overall accuracy of 96.22% and the CNN method is also competitive with an overall accuracy of 96.30%.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal Article</style></work-type></record><record><source-app name="Biblio"

and future prospects of the activities by Asian students and young scientists on photogrammetry and remote sensing. For future growths of academic fields, active communications among students and young scientists are indispensable. In some countries and regions in Asia, local communities are already established by youths and playing important roles of building networks among various schools and institutes. The networks are expected to evolve innovative cooperations after the youths achieve their professions. Although local communities are getting solid growth, Asian youths had had little opportunities to make contacts with youths of other countries and regions. To promote youth activities among Asian regions, in 2007, Asian Association on Remote Sensing (AARS) started a series of programs involving students and young scientists within the annual conferences, the Asian Conference on Remote Sensing (ACRS). The programs have provided opportunities and motivations to create networks among students and young scientists. As a result of the achievements, the number of youth interested and involved in the programs is on growing. In addition, through the events held in Asian region by ISPRS Student Consortium (ISPRS-SC) and WG VI/5, the Asian youths have built friendly partnership with ISPRS-SC. Currently, many Asian youth are keeping contacts with ACRS friends via internet even when they are away from ACRS. To keep and expand the network, they are planning to establish an Asian youth organization on remote sensing. This paper describes about the proposals and future prospects on the Asian youth organization.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iwao, Koki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shibasaki, Ryosuke</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Automated Construction of Coverage Catalogues of ASTER Satellite Image for Urban Areas of the World</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ASTER</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">coverage catalogue</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">gazetteer</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">metadata database</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">urban area</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">B8</style></number><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">XXXIX</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">497–500</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">We developed an algorithm to determine a combination of satellite images according to observation extent and image quality. The algorithm was for testing necessity for completing coverage of the search extent. The tests excluded unnecessary images with low quality and preserve necessary images with good quality. The search conditions of the satellite images could be extended, indicating the catalogue could be constructed with specified periods required for time series analysis. We applied the method to a database of metadata of ASTER satellite images archived in GEO Grid of National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Japan. As indexes of populated places with geographical coordinates, we used a database of 3372 populated place of more than 0.1 million populations retrieved from GRUMP Settlement Points, a global gazetteer of cities, which has geographical names of populated places associated with geographical coordinates and population data. From the coordinates of populated places, 3372 extents were generated with radiuses of 30 km, a half of swath of ASTER satellite images. By merging extents overlapping each other, they were assembled into 2214 extents. As a result, we acquired combinations of good quality for 1244 extents, those of low quality for 96 extents, incomplete combinations for 611 extents. Further improvements would be expected by introducing pixel- based cloud assessment and pixel value correction over seasonal variations.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kimijima, Satomi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nagai, Masahiko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iwao, Koki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shibasaki, Ryosuke</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crowd-Sourcing GIS for Global Urban Area Mapping</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">33rd Asian Conference on Remote Sensing</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ASTER</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">crowd sourcing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">urban area mapping</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Web-GIS</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pattaya, Thailand</style></pub-location><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A4-2</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">We present an internet-based data development, called crowd sourcing, for global urban area mapping. Crowd sourcing is an approach in which non-expert people, called crowds, join a project of producing data with simple procedures. To introducing crowd sourcing for our global urban area mapping, we constructed a crowd sourcing platform with open source GIS software and developed a ground truth data development system the platform. The data development system was for producing ground truth data by digitizing boundaries of urban area with visual interpretation of satellite images. By using the system, we successfully developed over 160,000 records of boundary data in five month. We had an experiment with operation of the system to measure working time by several sizes of work unit: 80 km × 80 km, 20 km × 20 km, and 10 km × 10 km. Medians of working time were 87.2, 6.2, and 1.4 hours, respectively. Our result would be helpful for estimate total working time of crowd sourcing of ground truth data by visual interpretation and would contribute to progress of data-intensive studies of geospatial information, remote sensing, and photogrammetry.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iwao, Koki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shibasaki, Ryosuke</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A Crowd-Sourcing System with Web Mapping Systems for Ground Information Database of Global Urban Area Mapping</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3rd Geospatial Information Forum for Students and Young Engineers</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Osaka, Japan</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iwao, Koki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shibasaki, Ryosuke</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Development of a New Ground Truth Database for Global Urban Area Mapping from a Gazetteer</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Remote Sensing</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">crowd sourcing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">global urban</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ground truth database</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">web feature service</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">web mapping service</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/3/6/1177/</style></url></web-urls></urls><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></number><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taipei</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1177–1187</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">We present a practical system for collecting ground truth data needed for global urban area mapping. To collect visually interpreted information effectively, we implemented crowd sourcing, with which the operators collect and send very accurate data generated by visual interpretation through the Internet. The system was constructed with Web Map Service (WMS) and Web Feature Service (WFS), which are standardized scheme of publishing and updating map data over the Internet. Within the system, the conductor and the operators of visual interpretation campaign would save labor and time for transferring data, keeping consistency, and assuring data security. In addition to that, owing to the standardized scheme, the system was flexibly extensible and transferrable to the other purpose. We regard that the system would contribute to improve ground information for global urban area mapping as well as statistical investigation on precision of visual interpretations. 1.

The method was successfully implemented and applied to 3372 cities of more than 0.1 million people of the world. As the result, the algorithm of image selection determined 11802 scenes of ASTER/VNIR satellite images and yielded good combinations for more than 60% of the cities. For the merged satellite images with the determined combinations, we applied the automated method of urban area mapping in high resolution. The method was consist of semi-supervised classifications by a machine learning method, called Learning with Local and Global Consistency (LLGC), and integrating the LLGC-derived maps and existing maps by logistic regression. As the result, we acquired urban area maps of 15-m resolution originated from ASTER/VNIR images, which is much finer than 500-m resolution of existing urban area maps. The method had still much space to be improved, especially in avoiding cloud contaminations. However, the method would contribute to complete high-resolution urban area maps of the world and realizing Global Earth Observation Systems of System (GEOSS).</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Itabashi, Koichiro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iwao, Koki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nakamura, Kazuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MATSUOKA, Masashi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shibasaki, Ryosuke</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A Method for Constructing Urban Extent Map from ALOS/PALSAR Satellite Data</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">32nd Asian Conference on Remote Sensing</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ALOS/PALSAR</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">classification</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">microwave sensor</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">urban extent map</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://a-a-r-s.org/acrs/index.php/acrs/acrs-overview/proceedings-1?view=publication&amp;task=show&amp;id=1005</style></url></web-urls></urls><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taipei</style></pub-location><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TS9-1</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Currently, global urban extent map of high accuracy and high resolution have been constructed mainly using optical sensor including ASTER/VNIR. However, there are some regions where urban areas are not correctly detected due to cloud cover and similar reflectance among land cover classes. To solve the problems, we used microwave sensor images of ALOS/PALSAR, which has an advantage in enabling observation in all weather conditions. This study aims at examining the possibility of using ALOS/PALSAR images as an alternative data resource for constructing urban extent map. Firstly, to determine useful ALOS/PALSAR observation mode, we examined how often ALOS/PALSAR images are taken in the regions for which an existing method using ASTER/VNIR images could not detect urban area correctly. Secondly, we collected ALOS/PALSAR satellite images, and examined effect of local-incident-angle-corrected images of ALOS/PALSAR taken by Fine Resolution Mode which can reduce distortion of pixel values due to local incident angle. We also performed unsupervised classifications on the ALOS/PALSAR and local-incident-angle-corrected images. Finally, we discussed ground truth datasets for image classification.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iwao, Koki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shibasaki, Ryosuke</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A Study on Global Urban Area Mapping using Satellite Data</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20th IIS Forum on Broad-Scale Collection and Application of Environment and Disaster Risk Information</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tokyo, Japan</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>32</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A Study on Global Urban Area Mapping using Satellite Images</style></title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The University of Tokyo</style></publisher><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">110</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">phd</style></work-type></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shao, Xiaowei</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iwao, Koki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shibasaki, Ryosuke</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Automatic Mapping of Urban Area in High Resolution with ASTER satellite images</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19th IIS Forum on Broad-Scale Collection and Application of Environment and Disaster Risk Information</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tokyo, Japan</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shao, Xiaowei</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iwao, Koki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shibasaki, Ryosuke</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Automatic Mapping of Urban Area in High Resolution with LLGC and Integration with Existing Urban Area Maps</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proceedings of AGILE 2010</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ASTER</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">land cover classification</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">urban area mapping</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guimaraes, Portugal</style></pub-location><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1–9</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">We present development of automated algorithm for mapping global urban area in high resolution using ASTER satellite images and coarse-resolution urban area maps.

To complete the map for world’s cities, we developed automated algorithm for mapping urban area in high resolution. The algorithm consists of two steps: classifying pixels of ASTER satellite images into urban or non-urban by Learning with Global and Local Consistency (LLGC) technique; and integration with existing urban area maps using logistic regression. We implemented the algorithm and demonstrated it on 775 scenes of ASTER satellite images. LLGC classified pixels of ASTER satellite images into urban or non-urban in 15-m resolution, though it had considerable amount of misclassification due to similarity in surface reflectance among non-vegetative land cover. To complement the misclassifications, we integrated LLGC results with existing urban area maps using logistic regression. The misclassifications were corrected well, especially in dry zone. We also developed ground truth database using global gazetteer of world’s cities so that we conduct comprehensive accuracy assessment on the urban area map. We visually interpreted land cover of urban or non-urban on 3734 points coordinates derived from global gazetteer, and combined them with 4211 data points of Degree Confluence Project into a database, which had 2185 data points of urban and 5559 of non-urban. Accuracy assessment using the database indicates that our map is more accurate than existing urban area maps. Finally, we applied the method on broad coverage of ASTER satellite images rather than single one scene. The result showed quite well classification as a whole, indicating possibility of developing global urban area map in high-resolution; however considerable problems due to availability of cloud-free satellite image is still remained.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iwao, Koki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shibasaki, Ryosuke</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">High-Resolution Urban Area Mapping of World&#039;s Cities Using Satellite Images</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19th Annual Conference of GIS Association of Japan</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kyoto, Japan</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1C-3</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Itabashi, Koichiro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iwao, Koki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nakamura, Kazuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shibasaki, Ryosuke</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A method for detecting and mapping Urban Area by ALOS/PALSAR data</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31st Asian Conference on Remote Sensing</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ALOS PALSAR urban extent map high resolution</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hanoi, Vietnam</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Currently, global urban extent map of high accuracy and resolution have been constructed mainly using optical sensor including ASTER/VNIR. However, there are some regions where urban area is not detected because of cloud cover and similar reflectance among land cover classes. In the present work, by using ALOS/PALSAR, a microwave sensor, we proposed a method for detecting urban area which cannot be detected by ASTER/VNIR optical sensor and developing urban extent map in high accuracy and resolution. We mainly used satellite images taken by Fine Resolution Mode of ALOS/PALSAR. Local-incident-angle corrected images by Fine Resolution Mode were used for this method. The proposed method consists of sampling pixel values and ground truth data at urban and non-urban area from ALOS/PALSAR images; constructing classifier based on the pixel values and ground truth data; and classifying pixels into urban or non-urban area. We compared the results with urban extent map derived from ASTER/VNIR optical sensor images, and evaluated the possibility of using ALOS/PALSAR data for developing urban extent map. In addition, we examined accuracy improvement of detecting urban area using both ASTER/VNIR and ALOS/PALSAR images. The proposed method could classify regions which were misclassified by ASTER/VNIR optical sensor images, and develop urban extent map in high accuracy and resolution.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal"

climatic change, and mapping the influence is urgently needed. This study proposes method for estimation of influence by grazing activities on grassland with 16-day dataset derived from MODIS satellite imagery and meteorological observation dataset. The result of application on Maduo-Xian in Qnghai province shows estimated influence is correspond to actual condition recognized with field study, and degraded land, grazed land and conserved land are discriminated with the estimation. In addition, the period of grazing at grazing land for summer or winter is estimated with time series profile of the estimation. The method is expected to be developed for observation on conditions of grazing land.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio"

Regional planning to preserve the plateau ecosystem is urgently needed. This study estimates grazing pressure considering the geographical heterogeneity of pasture productivity and grazing intensity using MODIS images and SRTM DEM. A case study in Maduo Xian, Qinghai Province shows the accessible lands are limited. At the accessible land, grazing activities are notably intense and grazing pressure is high. Additionally, this study shows that the extent of overgrazing is huge in comparison with accessible lands although the actual area is small. This knowledge will assist to make plans for the land conservation.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>10</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miyazaki, Hiroyuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yan, Wanglin</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Analysis of Interrelation between Natural Conditions and Industrial Structure on Tibet Plateau: Case Study in Qinghai Province</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14th Annual Conference of GIS Association of Japan</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Osaka, Japan</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">181-184</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language></record></records></xml>
