JOURNAL ARTICLE SHARING (WCPI ALGORITHM)

JOURNAL ARTICLE SHARING

One of our lab works has been successfully accepted in an international journal, the Waste Management & Research journal. We introduce a novel spatial clustering technique, called the Within Cluster Pattern Identification (WCPI) algorithm, in spatially identifying litter patterns. It is proven as the first spatial technique introduced and is supported by more than 10,000 onsite spatial data collection conducted in this research. This research is funded by our UTM International Industrial Incentive Research Grant.

Article: Within Cluster Pattern Identification: A New Approach for Optimizing Recycle Point Distribution to Support Policy Implementation on Waste Management in Malaysia.

FINALLY THEY DID IT!

FINALLY THEY DID IT!

Congratulations to both of my final year Bachelor Degree of Science Geoinformatics students. Finally, they successfully completed their dissertation and defended it during the viva session.

They admitted their previous “wrong moves” caused delays in completing their respective final year projects. I understand, it is a learning process. What is most important is that the experience of making mistakes, is the most valuable.

Congratulations Azbin Fahmi and Natashya! I knew from the start that you two could make it to the finish line.

NEW BOOK RELEASE!!!

NEW BOOK RELEASE

Title: Current Geoinformation Data Management and Challenges
Editors: Uznir Ujang & Zakri Tarmidi
ISBN: 978-983-52-1887-3

Summary:
This book highlights the current data management and challenges in Geoinformation. This book discusses the applications utilizing Geoinformation Science and Technology in solving problems encountered, including environmental management, asset management, securities management, and spatial standards. The book commences with an overview of Geoinformation’s application of data management and analytics. The section next discusses spatial data management and analysis in relation to exhibiting spatio-temporal wave patterns. It then demonstrates how spatial data modelling may be used to visualize urban air pollution. In addition, the book touches on the use of Geoinformation in asset management and the computation of development fees for local governments. Next, the use of 3D models in Geoinformation is discussed. Readable topics also include the readiness of local governments to implement spatial standards and spatial indicators for assessing the environmental sustainability of low-cost housing. The content presented in this book includes a review of case study and 3D modelling of air pollution, integrating Geoinformation with asset management, and integrating spatial analytics in assessing environmental sustainability indicators.

FACTORS THAT AFFECT SPATIAL DATA SHARING IN MALAYSIA (JOURNAL ARTICLE SHARING)

FACTORS THAT AFFECT SPATIAL DATA SHARING IN MALAYSIA (JOURNAL ARTICLE SHARING)

I am sharing with you our most recent article in the ISPRS journal. The uniqueness of the research pertains to new aspects, such as the observation of new mixed methods and factors, which leads to the sharing and analysis of spatial data. The infrastructure of spatial data or geospatial data infrastructure is an initiative that intends to establish a framework for collaboration and communication among all stakeholders. Under the Malaysian concept of integrated data development, Kuala Lumpur is among the regional governments responding to this national drive for local SDI. In examining the effects of local governments on SDI, numerous and intricate factors, such as organizations, politics, power, systems, standards, funding, individual traits, and communications, were evaluated. This study determined the elements that influence geographical data-sharing practices.

This research was published in the ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information. It is a Q1 journal that is indexed by ISI. Please feel free to read it at https://www.mdpi.com/2220-9964/11/8/446/pdf?version=1660189261

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION – FRONTIERS IN BUILT ENVIRONMENT JOURNAL

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION – FRONTIERS IN BUILT ENVIRONMENT JOURNAL

I wish to extend an invitation to submit a manuscript for the new article collection on “3D City Modelling in Built Environment” for the Frontiers in Built Environment journal.

This collection is being produced in collaboration with Frontiers in Built Environment. All research will be published in Open Access. Additionally, we aim to put together a free ebook of all published manuscripts to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the latest research developments in the field.

If you would like feedback on a manuscript’s suitability, please submit an abstract (or proposed research overview) by 23 September. As we publish on a rolling basis, you are welcome to submit your final manuscript before the deadline of 22 November. We can also accommodate personal extensions.

You can read more about the collection here: https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/44429/3d-city-modelling-in-built-environment#overview.

AUGUST RESEARCH PROGRESS MEETING

AUGUST RESEARCH PROGRESS MEETING

On the 17th of July 2022, the 3D GIS Research Lab held its monthly progress meeting. The students demonstrated the progress they had made in their research over the preceding month throughout the productive meeting. This time, we combined the discussion with student presentations at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Later, these students can communicate with one another and obtain an idea of how the study is conducted on various levels. I want to thank these students for their great performance on their individual research projects.
