▼ Semantically rich spatial data are big and ubiquitous, raising challenges with respect to their effective and efficient querying and analysis. In particular, traditional spatial analysis and querying methods are not readily applicable due to the increased data complexity. Toward addressing these challenges and supporting real-life applications that manage such data, in this thesis, three problems on the querying and analysis of (i) geo-social network data, (ii) spatio-textual data, and (iii) spatial RDF data are proposed and studied. First, we study the problem of Density-based Clustering of Places in Geo-Social networks (DCPGS). Current spatial clustering models disregard information about the people who are related to the clustered places. We extend the density-based clustering paradigm to apply on places in geo-social networks, considering both the spatial information between places and the social relationships between users who visit the places. After formally defining our model and the distance measure it relies on, we present efficient index-based algorithms for its implementation. We evaluate the effectiveness of our model via a case study and two quantitative measures, called social entropy and community score, which indicate that geo-social clusters have special properties and cannot be found by applying simple spatial clustering approaches. The efficiency of our algorithms is also evaluated experimentally. Next, we study the modeling and evaluation of a Spatio-Textual Skyline (STS) query, in which the skyline points are selected based on not only their distances to a set of query locations, but also on their relevance to a set of query keywords. STS is especially relevant to modern applications, where points of interest are typically augmented with textual descriptions. We investigate three models for integrating textual relevance into the spatial skyline. Among them, model STD, combining spatial distance with textual relevance in a derived dimensional space, is the most effective one. STD computes a skyline satisfying the intent of STS, and having a small and easy-to-interpret size. We propose an IR-tree based algorithm for computing STD-based skylines. The effectiveness of our STD model and the efficiency of the algorithm are evaluated experimentally. Finally, we propose the problem of top-k relevant Semantic Place retrieval (kSP) on spatial RDF data, which finds applications in domains such as journalism, health, business, and tourism. Traditionally, RDF data is accessed by structured query languages, e.g., SPARQL. This requires users to understand both the language and the RDF schema. Recent research on keyword search over RDF data aims at reducing such requirements, but still ignores the spatial dimension of RDF data. Our kSP seeks for RDF subgraphs, rooted at spatial entities close to the query location and containing a set of query keywords. Compared to existing work, kSP queries are independent to structured query languages and they are location-aware. We devise a basic method for processing…

▼ Le département de Gaya, cadre de notre étude, est situé au sud-ouest de la république du Niger. Il dispose d‘un important potentiel hydrique composé des eaux de surface (une centaine de mares permanentes, le fleuve Niger sur 106 km) et de sept aquifères superposés comprenant des nappes de subsurface (affleurantes par endroit) et des nappes artésiennes. L’étude sur les usages de l’eau à Gaya a été menée à travers plusieurs axes centrés sur l’estimation et la répartition spatiale des ressources en eau, le cadre juridique et institutionnel régulant leur mise en valeur, les différents secteurs d’utilisation de l’eau ainsi que les contraintes affectant cette utilisation. L’usage de la cartographie à travers les SIG dans le traitement et l’analyse des données, couplée à notre expérience d’une dizaine d’année de travaux dans la région, a permis de dresser des synthèses richement illustrées permettant de mieux comprendre tous les enjeux liés à la problématique des usages de l’eau dans cette partie du Niger. Contrairement à la vision que l’on a traditionnellement du Sahel où le manque d’eau constitue une des contraintes majeures au développement, ici des conditions locales particulières contredisent ce cliché et transposent le débat sur un autre plan. Il s’agit de la maîtrise de l’eau au niveau local à travers l’élaboration d’une politique appropriée qui tienne compte non seulement des spécificités locales de la ressource, mais aussi des différents types d’usages. La politique de l’eau au Niger, définie selon le Schéma directeur de mise en valeur et de gestion des ressources en eau, à travers la mise en place d’un important arsenal juridique et institutionnel, a eu le mérite de tracer un canevas sur la question, mais a montré ses limites au niveau pratique après dix ans d’essai. En effet au niveau de Gaya, ni l’Etat ni les partenaires au développement (bailleurs de fonds extérieurs) n’ont tenu compte des caractéristiques locales de la ressource ou du contexte socioéconomique particulier de la région. Ce qui a entraîné la réalisation d’infrastructures inadaptées aux réalités hydrogéologiques locales ainsi que des choix inappropriés au niveau de certains aménagements. En dépit de l’abondance de la ressource, son accès tant au niveau quantitatif que qualitatif, reste difficile pour une grande partie des acteurs ruraux. Les différents handicaps rencontrés dans la mise en valeur des ressources en eau résultent de cette incohérence de la politique nationale de l’eau, mais aussi de la difficulté de son application sur le terrain où persiste un pluralisme juridique caractérisé par la cohabitation de deux systèmes de régulation à savoir les droits coutumiers et la législation moderne. Ces différents éléments mis en évidence dans cette étude sur la zone de Gaya pourraient servir de base pour un meilleur aménagement des ressources en eau dans le cadre plus large d’une politique d’aménagement du territoire prenant en compte tous les facteurs tant physiques que socioéconomiques de la région.

▼ As coastal areas increase in populations there is an increasing need to determine what community characteristics are most resilient to coastal disasters. This research proposes two methods to quantify community resilience. The factor analysis method results in a weighted additive index model of six variables to derive community resilience. The index places every community in the Gulf of Mexico on a scale from 0-1. The most resilient counties in the Gulf of Mexico region were found to be Hillsborough, FL, Pinellas, FL, Sarasota, FL, Hernando, FL, Okaloosa, FL, Kenedy, TX, and Jefferson, LA with a resilience score of 1. The least resilient counties in the Gulf of Mexico were found to be Cameron, TX and Willacy, TX with a resilience score of below 0.40. The six key variables used to create the resilience index were expenditures for education, median income, percent of the workforce that is female, mean elevation of the parish, percent of the population below 5 years old, and percent of the population that voted in the 2000 presidential election. The second method is a discriminant analysis method. In this method an a priori grouping based on the number of coastal hazards, property damage, and population change for each county was derived. Twenty-four social, economic, and environmental variables were input into the discriminant analysis to determine if they can be used to explain and define resilience. The discriminant analysis results in a classification accuracy of 94.2%. Counties found to be in the most resilient group were Hancock, MS, Collier, FL, Baldwin, AL, Escambia, FL, Walton, FL, Lee, FL, Charlotte, FL, Manatee, FL, Santa Rosa, FL, Okaloosa, FL. Counties found to be in the least resilient group were Kleberg, TX, Calhoun, TX, San Patricio, TX, Jefferson, TX, Nueces, TX, Kenedy, TX, and Willacy, TX. This study represents a preliminary attempt in quantifying community resilience. It outlines the methods that can be used to define resilience and offers a general guideline about the variables that might contribute to a communities’ ability to recover from a coastal disaster. Further refinements with the variables are necessary in future studies.

▼ Through the years, there has been a great deal of archaeological research focused on the earliest farming cultures of Europe (i.e. Early Neolithic). However, little effort has been expended to uncover the type and nature of daily activities performed within Early Neolithic dwellings, particularly in the Balkans. This thesis conducts a spatial analysis of the Early Neolithic pit house levels of the Foeni-Salaş site in southeast Romania, in the northern half of the Balkans, to determine the kinds and locations of activities that occurred in these pit houses. Characteristic Early Neolithic dwellings in the northern Balkans are pit houses. The data are analyzed using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology in an attempt to identify non-random patterns that will indicate how the pit house inhabitants used their space. Both visual and statistical (Nearest Neighbor) techniques are used to identify spatial patterns. Spreadsheet data are incorporated into the map database in order to compare and contrast the results from the two techniques of analysis. Map data provides precise artefact locations, while spreadsheet data yield more generalized quad centroid information. Unlike the mapped data, the spreadsheet data also included artefacts recovered in sieves. Utilizing both data types gave a more complexand fuller understanding of how space was used at Foeni-Salaş. The results show that different types of activity areas are present within each of the pit houses. Comparison of interior to exterior artifact distributions demonstrates that most activities take place within pit house. Some of the activities present include weaving, food preparation, butchering, hide processing, pottery making, ritual, and other activities related to the running of households. It was found that these activities are placed in specific locations relative to features within the pit house and the physical structure of the pit house itself. This research adds to the growing body of archaeological research that implements GIS to answer questions and solve problems related to the spatial dimension of human behaviour.

▼ Suicide has been studied sociologically since the late 19th century when theorists like Durkheim ([1897] 1951) found that the spatial patterning of suicides was not random. Looking beyond psychological troubles, suicide studies began to address the social factors that affected suicide rates. Building on the work of early scholars, contemporary studies mainly focus on variations in levels of social integration variables within communities to explain the nature of suicide rates. Many of these contemporary studies, however, only consider one type of social integration, like religion, and how variations in participation affect the suicide rate. To date, no study simultaneously considers multiple indicators of social integration nor focuses on the contextual environment these social integration variables create within communities in order to decipher if/where spatial regimes exist with regard to suicide in the United States. The aim of this study was to use spatial patterning techniques to determine the extent to which religious organizations, civic community organizations, social isolation, and economic deprivation affected the social integration and infrastructure of communities thereby affecting the spatial patterning of suicide rates within the United States. Drawing from the civic community and social capital perspectives, communities with greater levels of integration have been found to have better health outcomes and lower levels of mortality than communities with low levels of integration (Lee 2010). Inversely, communities with higher levels of social isolation and economic deprivation have a weak community infrastructure, less social integration, low social capital, and low levels of civic engagement as evidenced by weak social networks, fewer civic institutions, and a sub-par public health infrastructure (Blanchard, Bartkowski, Matthews, and Kerley 2008; Lee 2010; Young and Lyson 2001). Therefore, the presence or absence of integration factors shape the community environment, which in turn impacts the suicide rate of that community. Specifically, the present study aimed to test the hypothesis that civically engaged communities, with low isolation and low economic troubles, produced a community environment that resulted in lower suicide rates, while communities that had high levels of social isolation and economic deprivation had lower chances for civic engagement and therefore suffered from higher suicide rates. Results showed, however, that each of these integration variables had a varying impact on the suicide rate in different regions, which led to the conclusion that spatial regimes exist in the United States.

▼ This thesis uses a geographic information system (GIS) to demonstrate spatial analysis techniques in order to examine changes to a prehistoric society of Native American Wappo dating from 2450 to 1950 years before present (BP) from the Upper Archaic Period in the Napa Valley of California. This cemetery was excavated by Pacific Legacy Inc., a private cultural resources management firm, in compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for a flood control project. While Pacific Legacy Inc. analyzed the burials on an individual basis, they did not conduct a spatial analysis. They incorporated their data into a simple spreadsheet to look for patterns. This thesis serves as a complimentary spatial examination of the burials based on spatial data. ❧ The dataset is incomplete as it was not collected using a consistent, systematic methodology. Additional burials related to the dataset had also been removed from the site before excavation by erosion and other archaeological excavations. This paper demonstrates select spatial analysis techniques using this dataset as an example. ❧ This thesis examines the distribution of the burials within the cemetery to identify spatial patterns based on burial attributes and artifact distribution. Spatial autocorrelation, cluster analysis, and grouping analysis focus on identifying burial clusters and individual burial outliers. ❧ A form of interpolation known as kriging was used to estimate the dates for the burials that were not subjected to Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) Radiocarbon dating. The burials were then grouped into corresponding date ranges covering one hundred year time spans. This experimental study allows for identification of changes to society by analyzing the change in burial attributes and artifact types over the course of the Upper Archaic Period. Due to the incomplete nature of the dataset, only two conclusions could be reached with the remaining findings considered suggestive. There is clustering based on bone preservation and the spatial analysis results tend to vary depending on different excavation techniques. Possible clustering of depth, wealth diversity index, directly associated shell beads, and directly associated pendants may reflect certain aspects of ancient society. The possible clustering of artifact association, total tools, tool diversity index, indirectly associated bifaces, indirectly associated edge-modified flakes, indirectly associated unifaces, and indirectly associated pestles can likely be explained due to differing excavation techniques. Possible clustering of natural obsidian needles may be explained as naturally occurring in the soil. Dental caries were found to be possibly dispersed, which is likely just a random occurrence. The experimental radiocarbon date interpolation allowed for an examination of changes to CA-NAP- 399 over a five hundred year period. Thus results from the analyses in this report should not be seen as definitive nor should they be used as… Advisors/Committee Members: Kemp, Karen K. (Committee Chair), Garrison, Thomas G.

▼ This project aims to address a hiatus in the academic literature on the analysis of data collected with the use of Public Participation Geographical Information Systems. The research question was: How can geographical data gathered among citizens through the use of PPGIS be turned into information that is valuable in the spatial planning process? PPGIS is defined as the intention of providing all stakeholders in spatial decision-making processes with equal access to the data and analytical capabilities provided through geographical information technology. As such, the role of PPGIS in spatial planning processes can be seen as a form of communication technology. One of the main obstacles in this exchange of information is the variation in knowledge of the stakeholders on the spatial issue at hand. The focus in this research is on the analysis of the experiences of citizens for use in participatory spatial planning processes. First, a structured approach for the analysis of PPGIS data was developed. Appropriate analytical tools were assigned to each section of the approach. For the empirical part of the project data was collected on the experiences of citizens in the area of Hoensbroek in Heerlen. A PPGIS application was developed for data collection through use of a spatial survey. The issues addressed in the survey were decided upon in cooperation with the spatial planning department of the Heerlen municipality. The method for the analysis of PPGIS data was then applied to the collected data. As the data in this research was collected in the form of polygons instead of points, a procedure was also developed to prepare the data in such a way that the analyses could yield meaningful results. In the end the PPGIS cycle was completed almost in its entirety, with the development of a PPGIS application and associating questionnaire, the collection of data among citizens and the translation of that data into information through spatial analysis and visualization. Representatives of the spatial planning department of the Heerlen municipality reported that they found the analyses that yielded information that was readily interpretable and provided concrete directions for spatial policies especially useful, i.e. the heat maps, the cluster analysis and the conflict analysis.

▼ The goal of this research is to develop a geovisual analytics framework and representative methods to support a scientific discovery process that addresses the following aspects of geographic inquiry: what, where and why. To address these aspects of geographic inquiry, the framework supports three groups of methods: spatial cluster analysis, multivariate data analysis, and spatial, multivariate analysis. As used here, these terms have broader meaning than the traditional ones in that they are conceptualized as supporting not only geographic data analysis, but also information analysis and knowledge discovery. Hence, the research develops, draws upon and combines new methods from multiple disciplines including (geo) information visualization, (geospatial) statistics, (geospatial) data mining, and cartography. The focus is on developing new visualization methods and integrating them with advanced data mining and statistical methods. The targeted data are geographically-referenced, high dimensional, areally-aggregated datasets of relatively large size (e.g., 3000+ U.S. counties, dozens of variables). The application domains to which the framework is directed primarily include spatial epidemiology and aspects of social and environmental science in which multivariate analysis of aggregated data is a central focus. The framework can be extended to support other domains in which geographic data analysis is relevant as well. The contributions of this research include: (1) considerably-enhanced methods for spatial cluster analysis, multivariate data analysis, and spatial-multivariate analysis, all supporting multi-scale analysis; (2) a geovisual-analytics prototype framework that combines visual, statistical and data mining methods together to support a complex exploratory learning process that integrates model-driven and data-driven methods together; (3) some advanced visualization methods including a dendrogram-matrix; (4) a software implementation of the geovisual analytics framework – the Visual Inquiry Toolkit (VIT); and (5) seven published papers.

O controle dos vetores do mosquito Aedes aegypti apresenta como um dos principais problemas de saúde pública no mundo representado por duas vertentes importantes como o cuidado com o meio ambiente e pelo investimento em ciência. A preocupação com o meio ambiente é uma das maneiras mais eficazes de conter a reprodução do mosquito Aedes aegypti que, segundo Organização Mundial da Saúde, infecta cerca de 100 milhões de pessoas por ano. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo principal analisar a distribuição espacial dos casos de dengue confirmados autóctones e importados, bem como dos recipientes de larvas do mosquito no município de Itu, São Paulo no período de 2005 a 2014. Para o desenvolvimento do trabalho foi realizada uma pesquisa junto à Vigilância Epidemiológico da área de estudo para obtenção dos dados, acompanhada de pesquisa bibliográfica e trabalho de campo. Os dados foram tratados por meio de técnicas de geoprocessamento e análise estatística exploratória. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram uma crescente alta de casos e de incidência ao longo dos anos estudados da faixa de 10 anos, sendo que os casos autóctones se sobrepõe em termos de ocorrência aos importados em 88 %. Além disso, foi possível verificar uma distribuição espacial com maiores ocorrências nas regiões centrais da área urbana do município estudado, apresentando as maiores concentrações nos anos de 2007, 2009, 20011 e 2013 do total analisado, com distribuição tendendo para a direção sudeste-noroeste da área de estudo. Diante destas constatações é possível afirmar que a alta urbanização afeta diretamente o ambiente propiciando o aumento ponderal de casos confirmados de dengue na área de estudo, sendo que a elaboração de informações relacionadas a distribuição da população e locais de ocorrência de larvas e consequentemente dos mosquitos poderão contribuir de forma mais efetiva com o entendimento da epidemiologia da dengue na área de estudo.

The control of the vectors of the mosquito Aedes aegypti presents as one of the main problems of public health in the world acted by two important slopes as the care with the environment and for the investment in science.

▼ Nigeria has long garnered international attention for the rate of kidnappings that occur within its borders. At the same time, Nigeria is one of the world’s largest oil producers, which results in billions of dollars in revenue for the country each year. Despite Nigeria’s vast oil wealth, its kidnapping rates are making some multinational companies question their activities in Nigeria and look instead to operating in safer countries. The Nigerian economy is dependent on its oil sales, and a drawback in multinational oil companies could devastate the national economy. While the oil extraction earns billions for the country annually, little of that money has trickled down to the local Nigerians. As a result, many hypothesize that this disparity in wealth motivated many of the known kidnapping events. Data for this thesis was acquired through the Armed Conflict and Location Event Data (ACLED) program. Kidnapping events were cataloged and analyzed using Global Moran’s I and Local Moran’s I in ArcGIS to determine the presence of significant spatial clusters, as well as the location of such clusters. In addition, an ordinal analysis of the data was conducted to identify the visual patterns of incidence of the three categories of kidnapping: economic, political, and ritual and religious. These three categories are identified as the motivators behind each kidnapping event. The strongest ordinal patterns are seen in northern Nigeria where ritual and religious kidnappings are more common ,and southern Nigeria, where economically-motivated kidnappings are the most prevalent. The three key elements of kidnapping quantitatively analyzed in this thesis are: ransoms, kidnapped foreigners, and fatalities. Each of these elements was analyzed to determine if there were spatial patterns related to the element. Global Moran’s I and Anselin’s Local Moran’s I identified several spatial patterns in the data. The most significant spatial clusters were seen with the clustering of kidnappings in southern Nigeria, where the majority of the oil extraction occurs. This region saw the most significant clusters of kidnapped foreigners, kidnappings for ransom, and total fatalities. The presence of foreigners and the requests for ransom are likely a manifestation of the economic disparity in the region. Also of interest was the high proportion of fatalities in northern Nigeria, though the data for that region is not as robust as the kidnapping event data for the rest of the country. Ritual and religious kidnapping, most frequently occurring in the north, is not motivated by economic or political desires, which may explain the higher rates of fatalities in that region. It is also important to note the limitations in the ACLED dataset. This dataset relies primarily on information reported in the media. As a result, data from recent years is likely more robust than the earlier years in the timeframe, such as 1987. Additionally, it is estimated that many of the local and small-scale kidnappings of Nigerians are not reported, because the stories are… Advisors/Committee Members: Rice, Matthew T (advisor).

▼ Dengue fever poses a constant serious risk and continues to be a major public health threat in Saudi Arabia, particularly in the city of Jeddah where, since 2006, despite formally introduced Control Strategies, there has been a significant increase in the number of cases. International literature suggests that a range of variables can influence the persistence of dengue, including climatic conditions, the quality of the urban environment, socioeconomic status and control strategies. The overall aims of this research are to understand neighbourhood influences on the pattern of dengue fever across Jeddah City and to make a preliminary determination of the enabling factors for, and barriers to, the effective implementation of the Control Strategies for dengue fever in Jeddah City. A mixed methods research design using quantitative and qualitative data was used. Quantitative data were obtained from administrative sources for dengue fever cases and some of the spatial and temporal variables associated with them, but new variables were created for neighbourhood status and the presence of surface water. Qualitative data are drawn from key informant interviews with 15 people who were, or who had been, working on dengue fever Control Strategies. A qualitative descriptive analysis was based on pre- determined and emergent themes. The spatial and temporal analysis of the variables related to dengue fever in Jeddah City neighbourhoods revealed that neighbourhood status has a direct relationship with dengue fever cases, which is mediated through population density and the presence of non- Saudi immigrants. While there was no relationship with the presence of swamps, seasonal variations in the incidence of dengue were most pronounced in neighbourhoods of low socioeconomic status. The qualitative review of dengue Control Strategies indicated five themes: (1) workforce characteristics and capability, (2) knowledge about dengue fever in Saudi Arabia and Jeddah City, (3) operational strategies for dengue fever control in Jeddah City, (4) the progress of implementation, and (5) overall view of the Government strategies in Jeddah City. This analysis found that the Strategies were well regarded but that aspects of implementation were not always effective. Nevertheless, both quantitative and qualitative results showed the persistence dengue fever problems in Jeddah City neighbourhoods and suggested how cases might be controlled. The number of dengue fever cases in Jeddah City neighbourhoods could continue to rise if the direct and indirect variables affecting dengue fever at the neighbourhood level are not well controlled. Careful attention to the further monitoring of patterns of dengue and specific neighbourhood Control Strategies are recommended, and established Control Strategies need to be implemented as designed. Nonetheless, there is still a need to develop new approaches that can examine and address neighbourhood level issues of dengue fever control.

▼ This project serves as a component of the NOAA Habitat Blueprint Biscayne Bay Habitat Focus Area (BB HFA), a multidisciplinary collaborative effort encompassing research conducted by NOAA Florida Sea Grant, Miami Waterkeeper, and the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, amongst many other institutions and organizations. Water quality in Biscayne Bay is of major concern to tourism, recreation, fisheries, and other regional economic activities. In recent years, environmental indicators such as harmful algal blooms have brought to light the threat human activity poses to Biscayne Bay resources. To ensure the conservation of Biscayne Bay species and ecosystem services, it is necessary to recognize the economic risks associated with water quality degradation. It is also important to understand industry perception of water quality and capacity to adapt to changing conditions. The purpose of the BB HFA Economic and Spatial Study was to economically characterize marine-related industries in Biscayne Bay. This Master’s Thesis, part of the Economic and Spatial Study, focused specifically on commercial, recreational, and for-hire fisheries, as well as seafood wholesalers that source from the bay and recreational businesses that depend directly upon a healthy Biscayne Bay, such as SCUBA and snorkel operators. Data for the recreational fishing sector was collected via online surveys, distributed via email addresses provided by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. In-person, semi-structured interviews were conducted for all willing participants in the commercial and for-hire fishing sectors, fish wholesale industry, and recreational water operations industry. Participants were asked questions about personal demographics, resource use, economic expenditures related to resource use, and perceptions of water quality. Using survey and interview data, socioeconomic and resource use profiles were constructed for each focus industry. Current water quality conditions and changes in water quality as perceived by industry stakeholders were described, as well as stakeholder adaptation strategies in the face of changing water quality conditions. Finally, stakeholder perceptions of water quality were analyzed based on industry and tenure to determine if these factors influence stakeholder attitudes. In the face of threats such as harmful algal blooms and pollution from nuclear power plants, this information is critical to policymakers and industry participants alike. Aggregate results are publicly available in the mapping portal integrated into the study’s website. The mapping portal produced from this research provides endless applications for Biscayne Bay research and policy. This project, in combination with data from the SECOORA Data Catalog, FWC data, and additional NOAA Habitat Blueprint studies, is designed to serve as a critical component in ensuring the longevity of Biscayne Bay fisheries and recreational water operations, as well as a swimmable, fishable, drinkable bay.
