Research on the Balance of Educational Resources Allocation and Spatial Layout

Research on the Balance of Educational Resources Allocation and Spatial Layout

Based on the spatial perspective this book takes the urban area of Xi'an China as the main research region and studies the balance of resource allocation focusing on educational resources and school layout. The author constructs a mathematical model to measure the level and types of resource allocation and regional differences in primary schools and uses GIS spatial analysis to explore the efficiency and fairness of school spatial layout. The book suggests a better way for the balanced development of basic education in Xi'an city. It also provides theoretical foundations analytical methods and empirical support for the study of balanced public resource management in public service urban planning and urban geography. This book is suitable for students and scholars of tourism management regional planning facilities and urban management and those interested in resource allocation in Chinese urban areas in general. | Research on the Balance of Educational Resources Allocation and Spatial Layout

Space Movement and Visibility in Pompeian Houses

Space Movement and Visibility in Pompeian Houses

This volume examines the pivotal role of movement visibility and experience within Pompeian houses as a major factor determining house form; the use of space; and the manner meaning and modalities of domestic daily life through the application of GIS-based analysis. Through close consideration of ancient literature detailed explanations of methodology and exploration of results Michael Anderson provides new perspectives on Pompeian domestic space including room types and household activities that rarely feature in the discussion of ancient housing. Readers gain a better understanding of priorities in the design of Pompeian houses the degree to which daily life was interrupted by earthquake damage in the site’s final years and evolving motivations behind wall painting decoration. The volume not only explores how Pompeian houses reflected the needs of everyday life as imagined by their architects but also how these spaces served to influence and control daily activities and ultimately how they were transformed by the spatial and visual requirements of domestic life. Space Movement and Visibility in Pompeian Houses is suitable for students and scholars of Pompeian houses and domestic life Roman architecture and urbanism and spatial analysis and space syntax.

Strategies for Landscape Representation Digital and Analogue Techniques

Strategies for Landscape Representation Digital and Analogue Techniques

Strategies for Landscape Representation discusses a variety of digital and analogue production techniques for the representation of landscape at multiple scales. Careful consideration is required to represent time and to ensure accuracy of representation and evaluation in the landscape. Written as a guide for making appropriate selection of a wide variety of visualisation tools for students and built environment professionals with an interest in landscape the book charts emerging technologies and historical contexts whilst also being relevant to landscape legislation such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Landscape Assessment. This book is an innovation-driven text that encourages readers to make connections between software technology and analogue modes. The management choice and combination of such modes can arguably narrow the unknown of landscape character address the issues of representing time and change in landscape and engage and represent communities perceptions and experience of landscape. Showcasing international examples from landscape architecture planning urban design and architecture artists visualisers geographers scientists and model makers the vitality of making and intrinsic value of representational work in these processes and sites is evidenced. An accompanying companion website provides access to original source files and tutorials totalling over a hundred hours in mapping and GIS diagrams and notation photomontage 3D modelling and 3D printing. | Strategies for Landscape Representation Digital and Analogue Techniques
