Wilson U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Introduction The increasing role of geographical analysis in solving social problems is not just a practical response by government agencies. Illustrated in this issue of Cityscape is the incorporation of geographic methods and techniques toward understanding issues of crime and disorder, two major negative influences on the quality of life in urban America. The primary emphasis in the use of this new ap- proach is on the delivery of programs and services to people through place as a means to increase the impact of federal, state, and local investments on the quality of life in urban neighborhoods. Urban Geography, Place, and Crime Crime changes with urban development patterns. Opportunities for criminal activity emerge, dis- appear, or move as geography changes across the urban landscape. Patterns emerge, dissipate, or persist based on changes in economic, ecological, and demographic conditions. Future crimes are far more predictable by place of occurrence than by a particular offender (Sherman and Weisburd, 1995; Weisburd et al., 2004). The greater predictability arises because places are relatively rigid; land use, infrastructure, and even demography change slowly. Places are resistant to change in the absence of major investments of time and money to make change occur. Public policy, especially local public policy, usually drives such investments. The environmental criminology subdiscipline began with the 1975 paper, “Residential Burglary and Urban Form,” (Brantingham and Brantingham, 1975, 1981). As one of the first empirical studies to establish the interaction between criminals and geography, the Brantinghams examined the geographic patterns of criminal offending within and between places. Environmental criminol- ogy fused geographical principles with criminological theory, providing opportunities to test empirically interactions between crime and place. The resulting research applied and tested new theories of crime rooted in urban development, including crime pattern theory (Brantingham and Brantingham, 1975), routine activities (Cohen and Felson, 1979), journey to crime (Phillips, 1980; Rengert, 1992), and geographic profiling (Rossmo, 2000). Other longstanding theories, such as social disorganization (Shaw and McKay, 1942), rational choice (Cornish and Clarke, 1986), territoriality (Taylor, 1988), and deviant places (Stark, 1987) were modified from this research to include a geographic aspect. Geographic theories strengthen criminological theories by providing a place-based foundation for where offenders live, why incidences occur where they do, and how Cityscape: A Journal of Policy Development and Research • Volume 13, Number 3 • 2011 Cityscape 1 U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development • Office of Policy Development and Research Wilson offenders move within a particular geography. Geographic theories also offer insight into the devel- opment and change of urban form (spatial organization) and into the interactions between places that form from those changes (spatial interaction). The development of Geographic Information System (GIS) software and spatial statistics has significantly affected the ability of law enforcement to combat crime and criminal justice to deliver services (Wilson, 2007). Because crimes have a spatial structure and form cohesive patterns, place-based approaches can make public policy more efficient. Actions from public policy simul- taneously affect multiple people within the same target area. Crime types have a spatial structure based on urban geography. Residential burglaries happen only in residential areas. Commercial robberies, likewise, transpire only in commercial districts. Auto thefts more frequently happen in places with large amounts of parking that are difficult to monitor. Homicide tends to occur across larger areas where poverty, inequality, physical deterioration, and economic decline

  • Cartographic Pattern Recognition Based on Semantic Modelling of Geographic Phenomena
    Characterising urban space from topographic databases: Cartographic pattern recognition based on semantic modelling of geographic phenomena Dissertation zur Erlangung der naturwissenschaftlichen Doktorwürde (Dr. sc. nat.) vorgelegt der Mathematisch-naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Zürich von Patrick Lüscher von Muhen AG Promotionskomitee Prof. Dr. Robert Weibel (Vorsitz) Prof. Dr. Dirk Burghardt Prof. Dr. Werner Kuhn Zürich, 2011 Summary National Map Agencies and other data producers capture large volumes of topographic data at high detail. As these topographic databases were designed for a broad range of applications, they model geographic reality in terms of single objects such as houses, streets, and lawns. However, many applications require specific higher order geographic phenomena that are not available in these general purpose databases, such as the extent of a city centre. Hence methods are needed to abstract these higher order geographic phenomena from the detailed representations of topographic databases. The ambition of this research is to automate abstractions from the detailed concepts offered by topographic datasets to produce higher order geographic phenomena by means of cartographic pattern recognition. Up to now, cartographic pattern recognition was mainly employed for optimising visual appearance. It can be argued, however, that it is primarily a task of modelling geographical content. The rationale of this research is to develop and evaluate an approach to cartographic pattern recognition that explicitly models semantic assumptions behind higher order geographic phenomena. With respect to this overall rationale, the research pursues the following three objectives: 1) Methods for knowledge acquisition to inform cartographic pattern recognition shall be explored; 2) instruments to model knowledge and compile the data enrichment process from semantically rich descriptions shall be developed; and 3) the role of uncertainty in the proposed approach shall be investigated.

Hintergrund der Planungen der Bahngesellschaften ist die durch die Studie „Verkehrsführung im Raum Basel“ vom Juni 2002 getroffene Prognose, dass die bestehenden Schie- nenwege im Raum Basel einem zu erwartenden Zuwachs des Bahnverkehrs in den kommenden Jahrzehnten nicht mehr gewachsen sind. Kernstück der „Best- variante“ der Studie „Verkehrsführung im Raum Basel“, die in der trinationalen „Plattform Basiliensis“ dargestellt wird und für die die Bahngesellschaften be- reits eine Planungsstudie in Auftrag gegeben haben, ist deshalb die Schaffung alternativer Strecken für den Güterverkehr unter Umgehung des Bereiches Ba- sel SBB entlang des Ober- und Hochrheines auf deutscher Seite. Im Zuge des so genannten Bypasses sollen Güterzüge zwischen Frankreich und der Schweiz über die Strecken Mulhouse–Neuenburg–Müllheim (Baden) und Straßburg– Kehl–Appenweier auf die deutsche Rheinseite überführt werden, um dann in Richtung Lötschberg über den Rangierbahnhof Muttenz bzw.

    I International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Cognition AIC 2014 PROCEEDINGS Edited by: Antonio Lieto, Daniele P. Radicioni and Marco Cruciani Preface In memory of Roberto Cordeschi This book of Proceedings contains the accepted papers of the second International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Cognition (AIC 2014), held in Turin (Italy) on November 26th and 27th, 2014. The series of workshop AIC was launched in 2013 with the idea of fostering the collaboration between the researchers (coming from the fields of computer science, philosophy, engineering, psychology, neuro- sciences etc.) working at the intersection of the Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) communities, by providing an international forum of discussions and communication of the research results obtained. In this workshop proceedings appear 3 abstracts of the talks provided by the keynote speakers and 15 peer reviewed papers accepted by the Program Commit- tee Members through a process of peer-review. Specifically, 10 full papers (31% acceptance rate) and 5 short papers were selected out of 32 submissions coming from researchers of 18 different countries from all the continents. In the follow- ing, a short introduction to the content of the volume (full and short papers) is presented. In the paper “An Interdisciplinary Approach for a Holistic and Embodied Emotion Model in Humanoid Agents”, by Samer Schaat, Matthias Huber, Klaus Doblhammer, Dietmar Dietrich, the authors survey contributions from different disciplines (such as Neuroscience, Psychoanalysis, Neuropsychoanalysis, and in Agent-based Systems) to a holistic and embodied emotion model. In particular, the paper investigates how models from relevant disciplines can be beneficial in building Agents Systems.
