Las cifras En el año 1996 Rees y Wackernagel proponen el concepto de “huella ecológica” como el área de territorio productivo o ecosistema acuático necesario para producir los recursos utilizados y para asimilar los residuos producidos por una población definida con un nivel de vida específico, donde sea que se encuentre esta área . La introducción de este concepto nos permitió contar con un instrumento (todo lo rudimentario que se quiera) para cuantificar las relaciones entre territorio y consumo.Strange Maps | Big Think
Frank Jacobs loves maps, but finds most atlases too predictable. He collects and comments on all kinds of intriguing maps—real, fictional, and what-if ones—and has been writing the Strange Maps blog since 2006, first on WordPress and now for Big Think. His map " US States Renamed For Countries With Similar GDPs " has been viewed more than 587,000 times. An anthology of maps from this blog was published by Penguin in 2009 and can be purchased from Amazon and Barnes & Noble .
1-Interoperable Three-Dimensional GIS
Urban Modeling with ArcGIS 3D Analyst and SketchUp This article describes what happened when 13 urban planning and architecture faculty members and students at Florida Atlantic University (FAU), who had no proficiency in CAD or GIS software, came together to create an interactive three-dimensional GIS for a portion of downtown Fort Lauderdale in only 12 days. A working integration of three-dimensional models with georeferenced databases holds great promise for physical planning and design. It allows for simulation, visualization, shadow studies, urban wind effects, and neighborhood compatibility studies. Esri has made significant strides in the functionality of the ArcGIS 3D Analyst extension (which includes the ArcScene and ArcGlobe applications). Interoperability with dedicated three-dimensional modeling software packages, such as Google SketchUp, provide even more opportunities for real-time and interactive analyses.
ASTER Imagery
Global Map NASA and Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and industry (METI) released the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM) to the worldwide public on June 29, 2009. The GDEM was created by processing and stereo-correlating the 1.3 million-scene ASTER archive of optical images, covering Earth's land surface between 83 degrees North and 83 degrees South latitudes. The GDEM is produced with 30-meter (98-feet) postings, and is formatted as 23,000 one-by-one- degree tiles.Anthropogenic biomes - Encyclopedia of Earth
This article has been reviewed by the following Topic Editor: Mark McGinley Anthropogenic biomes describe globally-significant ecological patterns within the terrestrial biosphere caused by sustained direct human interaction with ecosystems , including agriculture , urbanization, forestry and other land uses. Conventional biomes , such as tropical rainforests or grasslands , are based on global vegetation patterns related to climate.
Human influence is a global driver of ecological processes on the planet, on par with climatic trends, geological forces, and astronomical variations. The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) at Columbia University have joined together to systematically map and measure the human influence on the Earth’s land surface today. The Last of The Wild, Version Two depicts human influence on terrestrial ecosystems using data sets compiled on or around 2000. Use arrow keys to pan, and +/- keys to zoom The interactive mapper above gives a preview of the Last of the Wild data sets. For more advanced visualization and overlay with other related data sets, you may use the stand-alone SEDAC Map Client .

Education Community :: Apple Macintosh and iOS Support
Blog There is a common misconception that there are no options for Apple Macintosh or IOS users who want to use GIS. There are several choices available for Apple Macintosh and iOS users: Un-retouched screenshot of Intel-based Macintosh running AEJEE-Mac (lower left) and Web browser with ArcGIS Explorer Online (upper left) in background, and, at the same time, Parallels running Windows XP, with ArcView (lower right) and ArcGlobe (upper right).

This service is an on-going project to collect and catalogue all graphic products that have been prepared for publications and web-sites from the last 15 years in a wide range of themes related to environment and sustainable development. There are currently 2152 graphics available in the database, with the last update December 6, 2011. Search and explore vast amounts of global and regional data through an interactive interface.

„MODELUR represents, in my opinion, outstanding contribution in development of operative tools for more creative and, at the same time, more responsible work in urbanism, which can assure more verified and harmonised spatial interventions.“

Site Modeling in Context Place-Based design projects benefit from an understanding and representation of the local terrain. Terrain data is surprisingly easy to obtain and convert into useful representations that may be used in GIS and also popular CAD and 3d modeling formats.

Publicaciones :: Informe urbanismo y TIC en España
El Programa de Impulso al Urbanismo en Red surge de un Convenio de Colaboración entre el Ministerio de Industria Turismo y Comercio, la Federación Española de Municipios y Provincias y Red.es. Este Convenio tiene como objetivo la introducción de las TIC en el ámbito urbanístico de las Entidades Locales, dando respuesta a una demanda social de transparencia, mediante la publicación por Internet de los planes urbanísticos, e introduciendo herramientas que facilitan la operativa de los técnicos municipales, mejorando de esta manera la eficiencia en la gestión.Great explanations are unfortunately scarce, but UUorld makes them easier to achieve through interactive four-dimensional maps. Our solution has three simple parts: We think you'll find four-dimensional mapping delivers results because the medium exposes the spatial and temporal context inherent to nearly all data.
