Abstract
Spatial data visualization techniques may have a great influence in several disciplines related to spatial management and hence decision-making process. Among them, marine spatial planning (MSP) constitutes an integrated procedure aiming at the optimal allocation of human activities in marine space. In MSP, mapping process referred either in human activities, marine ecosystems or indicative indices is based on the implementation of a grid approach. The present paper discusses some critical issues related to visualization procedure while a new data-driven approach is introduced towards the identification of grid cell size threshold. The proposed method gives a critical suggestion that may be easily extended in each field that considers this type of visualization for spatial data handling.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Urban and Environmental Engineering (JUEE) provides a forum for original papers and for the exchange of information and views on significant developments in urban and environmental engineering worldwide. The scope of the journal includes: (a) Water Resources and Waste Management [...] (b) Constructions and Environment[...] (c) Urban Design[...] (d) Transportation Engineering[...] The Editors welcome original papers, scientific notes and discussions, in English, in those and related topics. All papers submitted to the Journal are peer reviewed by an international panel of Associate Editors and other experts. Authors are encouraged to suggest potential referees with their submission. Authors will have to confirm that the work, or any part of it, has not been published before and is not presently being considered for publication elsewhere.
