RESEARCH INTERNSHIP

Today our lab received a research internship student from the Institut Teknologi Nasional Malang (ITN Malang), Indonesia. Aprillia Rahmi Utami will be in our lab for 6 months as an official registered Universiti Teknologi Malaysia research student.

Her research is developing the digital campus of her institute. They read and learned about my previous 2018 research project, titled UTM 3D Virtual Campus and they wanted to embark on this research as well.

Thank you ITN Malang and Mr. Ir. Ketut Tomy Suhari, S.T., M.T., IPP. for this wonderful research collaboration.

More research outputs coming for both institutions

UTM MICRO-CREDENTIAL (GIS FOR LOCAL AUTHORITIES)


UTM MICRO-CREDENTIAL (GIS FOR LOCAL AUTHORITIES)

I am delighted to announce our latest course, Geographic Information System (GIS) for Local Authorities.

GIS is a geographic information system, which is an important part of Geo-spatial technology. It has wide applications in local authorities areas.

You are expected to learn the basic knowledge of GIS and the basics of GIS implementation in local authorities. Participants can also put their newfound knowledge to use right away by implementing GIS applications in local authorities.

If you are interested to join the course, register here:

JOURNAL ARTICLE SHARING

JOURNAL ARTICLE SHARING

This is our first journal publication of this year. The concept of the city with an infrastructure of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) embraces several definitions depending on the meanings of the word “smart” which include: intelligent city, smart city, knowledge city, ubiquitous city, sustainable city, and digital city. Many definitions of the city exist, but this study explores which one has been universally acknowledged. From the literature analysis, it emerges that the term smart city is the most used in the articles to show the smartness of a city. This paper shares exploration of the research from the seven main website digital databases and journals focusing on the smart city from January 2015 to February 2020 to: (a) Time research, to examine the causes of the smart city phenomenon and other concept literature in the last five years; (b) Review of words, to see how and where the smart city specification and relation of different definitions are implemented; (c) Geographical research to consider where smart cities’ greatest concentrations are in the world and determine if Malaysians are interacting with the smart city; and (d) How many papers are published in all of Malaysia from 2015 to 2020 about smart cities. Three steps are followed to accomplish the aim of this study: (1) The analysis which covered a systematic literature review search strategy to gather a representative sub-set of papers on the smart city and other definitions utilizing GoogleScholar, Elsevier, Scopus, ScienceDirect, IEEEXplore, WebofScience, and Springer between January 2015- February 2020; (2) The formation of a bibliometric map based on the bibliometric evaluation using the mapping technique VOSviewer to visualize differences; (3) VOSviewer application program to build initial clusters. The bibliometric analytical findings targeted the word harmony.

MOCK PROPOSAL DEFENSE

Spending my 3 hours time with final-year BSc Geoinformatics students under my supervision. This mock proposal is not obligated; rather, it is intended to teach students the fundamentals of delivering a proposal defence presentation as well as future presentations (after graduation). This is not a lecturer’s KPI; people say it only adds work. But, regardless of what others say, the important thing is that my students gain new knowledge for future use. And we had “makan-makan” at the end of the session.

 

SPRINGER BOOK CHAPTER 2023

SPRINGER BOOK CHAPTER 2023

I would like to share about our first publication of this year. Its a book chapter in Springer research book.

This chapter discusses on how noise mapping is constructed in 3D for the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) campus area. It is also the first approach made in UTM to visualize noise impacts in 3D. We use the techniques available in 3D city modeling to obtain the results of this study. More findings can be found in the chapter. 

This research is sponsored by UTM research grant. We would like to thank to UTM for giving us the opportunity to conduct this research. Here is the information about the book chapter:
