Signed .................................................... (candidate) Date 31.03.2017 ii Abstract When asked to define where a geographic place is, people normally resort to using qualitative expressions of location, such as north of and near to. This is evident in the domain of social geography, where qualitative research methods are used to gauge people’s understanding of their neighbourhood. Using a GIS to represent and map the location of neighbourhood boundaries is needed to understand and compare people’s perceptions of the spatial extent of their neighbourhoods. Extending the GIS to allow for the qualitative modelling of place will allow for the representation and mapping of neighbourhoods. On the other hand, a collaborative definition of place on the web will result in the accumulation of large sets of data resources that can be considered “location-poor”, where place location is defined mostly using single point coordinates and some random combinations of relative spatial relationships. A qualitative model of place location on the Linked Data Web (LDW) will allow for the homogenous representation and reasoning of place resources. This research has analysed the qualitative modelling of place location on the LDW and in GIS. On the LDW, a qualitative model of place is proposed, which provides an effective representation of individual place location profiles that allow place information to be enriched and spatially linked. This has been evaluated using the application of qualitative spatial reasoning (QSR) to automatic reasoning over place profiles, to check the completeness of the representation, as well as to derive implicit links not defined by the model. In GIS, a qualitative model of place is proposed that provides a basis for mapping qualitative definitions of place location in GIS, and this has been evaluated using an implementation-driven approach. The model has been implemented in a GIS and demonstrated through a realistic case study. A user-centric approach to development has been adopted, as users were involved throughout the design, development and evaluation stages. iii Acknowledgements Completing this project would not have been possible without the help of Allah (GOD) almighty, who granted me the ability to accomplish this work. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said; “who does not thank people does not thank God”. Therefore, I would like to thank all the people who have helped in any way, as their contributions have had an impact on this work. I would like to acknowledge several people whose support has been especially valuable. I would like to thank my respected supervisor, Dr. Alia Abdelmoty, whose encouragement, guidance and support helped me to acquire new research skills and a deeper understanding of this field. Also, I would like to thank my second supervisor, Professor Chris Jones, for his kind advice. Thanks also go to Dr. Stephen Burgess and Dr. Eva Elliott for their help in organising the mixed-methods experiment, the results of which have strengthened the data and models that underlie a very important part of this research. This is also an opportunity for me to extend my thanks to the School of Computer Science & Informatics at Cardiff University, UK, and all the staff members and my colleagues at the school. I would also like to thank my government (Saudi Arabia) for awarding me the scholarship and providing all the required financial support to complete my degree. Sincere thanks go to my mother, my wife and my children, who have supported me continuously in many different ways; they have always encouraged and motivated me in my endeavours. iv Contents Abstract ..................................................................................................................................... ii Acknowledgements ............................................................................................................. iii Contents .................................................................................................................................... iv List of Publications ............................................................................................................. vii List of Figures ...................................................................................................................... viii List of Tables ........................................................................................................................ xiii List of Algorithms ................................................................................................................. xv List of Abbreviations ......................................................................................................... xvi 1.

  • The Benefice of Tredegar, Rhymney & Abertysswg
    Benefice Profile for Tredegar, Rhymney & Abertysswg The Church in Wales Yr Eglwys yng Nghymru The Diocese of Monmouth The Benefice of Tredegar, Rhymney & Abertysswg Benefice Profile December 2019 1 Benefice Profile for Tredegar, Rhymney & Abertysswg From the Archdeacon of the Gwent Valleys The Venerable Sue Pinnington Thank you for taking the time to look at this profile for the post of Team Rector (Ministry Area Leader designate) of Tredegar, Rhymney and Abertysswg. This new benefice (Ministry Area) offers an exciting opportunity to develop collaborative ministry and mission. The parishes are growing closer together, realising the benefits of sharing resources, skills and the desire to grow spiritually and numerically. They would like to extend their existing mission and should the Diocesan Bid to the Church in Wales Evangelism Fund be successful, more financial support for mission will be heading to the Valleys. The Benefice has an excellent NSM Associate Minister in Elizabeth Jones and lay ministers, who are very much looking forward to working in the newly created team. The Diocese had committed to funding a 0.5 fte post of Team Vicar to serve the whole benefice, but to live in the parsonage at Rhymney. We expect the new Team Rector (TR) to take a full part in this appointment and we hope to advertise swiftly following the TR’s licensing. However, this post is not without its challenges. These are the same challenges faced by the whole of the Archdeaconry, which covers the eastern post-industrial valleys of South Wales. All our communities face issues relating to poverty and deprivation, but we work hard together to address and tackle these issues.
