How Urban Nature Shapes Health: Unravelling the Spatial Complexity of Nature-Health Systems
… yet existing research often relies on linear, aspatial approaches that overlook how Health Outcomes emerge from complex, interdependent processes, whose effects vary across space. This thesis adopts a spatial complexity lens and a multimethod design to overcome these limitations and advance a …

Interpreting territorial structure : the machiya of Kyoto and the rowhouses of Boston's South End
… context. Through a study of the principles of spatial manipulation and architectural design of the machiya in Japan, some generic techniques are identified which can be applied to other types of rowhouses to add complexity and depth to the experience of space within a confined area. The …

Drivers of burn severity in the northern Cascade Range, Washington, USA
… influence of annual climate and topographical complexity on the occurrence, size, severity, and within-fire severity pattern of fires in the northern Cascade Range of Washington, USA. Landsat Thematic Mapper (LTM) data were used to quantify fire severity for all fires greater than 10 ha (n = …

Enterprise design for dynamic complexity : architecting & engineering organizations using system & structural dynamics
… and policies are distant in space and time. Spatial complexity recognizes that correctly defining the limits of the extended enterprise is essential in maximizing shareholder value via stakeholder management. Temporal complexity recognizes that policies, decisions, structure and delays are …

A Knowledge-based approach of satellite image classification for urban wetland detection
… This is mainly caused by inadequate spatial resolutions of satellite imagery, spectral similarities between urban wetlands and adjacent land covers, and the spatial complexity of wetlands in human-transformed, heterogeneous urban landscapes. Knowledge-based classification, with great …

The windy city : harnessing power in the neighborhood landscape
… in the four cases, the greater social and spatial complexity of the "local" urban environment created new challenges. I conclude that 1) stories about urban wind power's costs and benefits diverged at the neighborhood scale and city scale;

Hydraulic and fluvial geomorphological models for a bedrock channel reach of the Twenty Mile Creek /
… are still dynamic systems with a high degree of spatial and temporal variability. To understand the variability of fluvial systems, numerical models have been developed to quantify flow magnitudes and patterns as the driving force for geomorphic change. Two types of numerical model were assessed …

Memory efficient approaches of second order for optimal control problems
… schedules drastically reduce the required spatial complexity. The schedules are designed to minimise the overall execution time given a certain total amount of storage for the checkpoints. The proposed scheduling schemes are applied to the memory reduced implementation of the optimal …

An approach for upscaling the flow effects of multiple deep-water genetic units
… and geo-mechanics (compaction) in a system with spatial complexity and temporal evolution of geological bodies, termed as genetic units (GUs). The data collection is difficult and costly in both economic and time aspects. Understanding the role of the interactions between GUs could play a major …

Quantifying the well-being benefits of urban green space
… applications is the explicit incorporation of spatial complexity and variation in the environment within each study and across the various methodologies employed. From a practical perspective it is argued that these results provide inputs to both the decision making and planning fields. More …

Influence of habitat complexity on diversity and community structure of arboreal spiders in grassland-shrub systems
… Many of these niche factors can influence the spatial position of plants in a landscape. Plant communities often determine the physical structure of the environment (microclimate, plant architecture) and therefore, have a considerable influence on the distribution of animal species, such as …

Social disorganisation theory and violent crime: A spatial-econometric analysis of Chicago and Sydney
The spatialisation of violent crime is explored in two large case studies, Chicago and Sydney, using spatial econometric methods and macro-sociological variables derived from Social Disorganisation Theory. Social Disorganisation Theory (SDT) is introduced in terms of its formulation in response to …
