3D GEOINFO 2023 CONFERENCE 

3D GEOINFO 2023 CONFERENCE 

I am pleased to announce our participation in the 3D Geoinfo 2023 conference, where we will be showcasing our research in the field of 3D topology, which aligns with my area of expertise. Regrettably, due to my prior commitments as the chair of another conference this weekend, I am unable to attend the event in Technical University of Munich in person. However, we have diligently prepared a pre-recorded presentation to share our research findings. We extend our sincere gratitude to the organizers of 3D Geoinfo 2023 for this valuable opportunity.

As academics, we often face challenging decisions, and in this case, I find myself having to forgo two significant academic engagements: 3D Geoinfo 2023 in Germany and a keynote talk in Nice, Paris . If not, I can travel directly from ISPRS Geospatial Week 2023 conference in Egypt which I attended few days ago, and fly directly to Europe. Nevertheless, I recognized that unforeseen circumstances can arise, and my current focus is on the organizing conference that I am chairing on September 17th and 18th, 2023.

Today, I have a scheduled appointment with the Deputy Vice Chancellor of UTM in the afternoon for the conference officiation ceremony, and we remain dedicated to ensuring its success. We appreciate your well-wishes and support as we navigate these academic responsibilities. All the best for 3D Geoinfo 2023 conference as well!

ISPRS GEOSPATIAL WEEK 2023 

ISPRS GEOSPATIAL WEEK 2023 

Great news! Out of more than 700 submissions, we successfully presented two papers at the recent ISPRS Geospatial Week 2023, held in Cairo, Egypt. This biennial conference brought together geospatial experts from around the globe. While the event has concluded, we’re excited to share our insights and experiences from this exceptional gathering! Stay tuned for our papers, which will soon be available online in the ISPRS publication archives. #ISPRS2023 #CairoConference #Geospatial”

Exciting news! Just had to share the buzz from UTM’s Excellence Award Ceremony 2023 – yours truly snagged the Publication Award for Authors in Indexed Journals!

Life’s funny, huh? Big shout-out to UTM for this recognition. And major props to my fellow colleagues for always having my back.

Picture this: my name gets called out at Dewan Sultan Iskandar, UTM, but guess where I am? Yep, you got it! I’m parked in my office, knee-deep in my students’ SCA 2023 papers.

Let’s raise a virtual toast to balancing these milestones with the everyday grind – cheers to all of us rocking that academia hustle!

PUBLISHED AND WE GOT IT OPEN ACCESS (FOR FREE)!

PUBLISHED AND WE GOT IT OPEN ACCESS (FOR FREE)!

Successfully published our research paper in volume 41 for the third edition this year (2023). The interesting part of our study this time is we observe the habits of litter in the community. Quite surprised with the amount of litter we collected within our research area. With the help of geospatial analysis techniques, we can see trends. 

However, research is only an instrument for studying the effects of this waste. But the most important thing is the attitude to keep our place clean. Please don’t litter everywhere, guys. We talk about the SDGs, the Sustainable City, the Green Life, etc., but it is useless if there is no right “litter” attitude. It all starts with you (and me).

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.

MALANG NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, INDONESIA – LECTURE SERIES 

MALANG NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, INDONESIA – LECTURE SERIES 

Sharing an info. I have been invited to deliver a lecture series on Geographic Information Science (GIS) at Malang National Institute of Technology, Indonesia.

The interesting thing about the pandemic is that we don’t need a passport or air tickets to travel. Everything is virtual.

Thank you to the organizing committee for inviting and giving me the opportunity to share some of the knowledge I have to the geodesy students there.
