“…2), for a large number of tasks such as in education, virtual tourism or planning (Biljecki et al, 2015). We see 3D visualizations in practical applications, e.g., advertisement industries, civil engineering, architecture, urban design; in journalism, e.g., political news, weather reports; as well as in the scientific world, e.g., geography, medicine, engineering; or in fine arts (e.g., Borkin, et al, 2007;Neuenschwander et al, 2014;Wood, et al, 2005;Yeung, 2011).…”

ABSTRACT:Whether and when should we show data in 3D is an on-going debate in communities conducting visualization research. A strong opposition exists in the information visualization (Infovis) community, and seemingly unnecessary/unwarranted use of 3D, e.g., in plots, bar or pie charts, is heavily criticized. The scientific visualization (Scivis) community, on the other hand, is more supportive of the use of 3D as it allows 'seeing' invisible phenomena, or designing and printing things that are used in e.g., surgeries, educational settings etc. Geographic visualization (Geovis) stands between the Infovis and Scivis communities. In geographic information science, most visuo-spatial analyses have been sufficiently conducted in 2D or 2.5D, including analyses related to terrain and much of the urban phenomena. On the other hand, there has always been a strong interest in 3D, with similar motivations as in Scivis community. Among many types of 3D visualizations, a popular one that is exploited both for visual analysis and visualization is the highly realistic (geo)virtual environments. Such environments may be engaging and memorable for the viewers because they offer highly immersive experiences. However, it is not yet well-established if we should opt to show the data in 3D; and if yes, a) what type of 3D we should use, b) for what task types, and c) for whom. In this paper, we identify some of the central arguments for and against the use of 3D visualizations around these three considerations in a concise interdisciplinary literature review.

“…It provides a design framework and supporting technology for professionals to manipulate geographical information, emphasizing environmental evidence-based data, design, and decisions. In a typical Geodesign procedure, the opinions and collaborations of the public, designers, decision-makers, and related stakeholders are necessary during the project planning and design stage [29]. The study used the three-dimensional modeling software program designed by Esri CityEngine to create an interactive visualization model.…”

With predictions of extreme precipitation and sea-level rise under climate change that may induce morphological changes of estuaries, increased estuarine flood risk needs to be considered. The aim of this case study was to contemplate sustainability from the perspective of flood resilience that focuses on environmental problems and solutions. The study provided insights into retailers' resilience thinking regarding the flood-prone Shetzu Peninsula in Taipei City. It is of concern that the retailers strategically identified potential flood risks and have developed adaptive knowledge, skills, and networks. The Location Quotient (LQ) analysis was conducted to verify that the retail sector of Shetzu Peninsula was considered a basic industry. Further assessments, an interactive visualization model and a consumption intensity map, were provided as supportive data. Based on the results, semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore 15 key retailers' resilience thinking on how to adapt to floods in terms of risk communication under climate change. This approach is vital to meet the adaptation challenge in the Shetzu Peninsula. As a result, the study indicated that retailers have strategically identified potential weather-related risks and have implemented adaptation plans for each store functions. The study discussed that, in the face of climate change, maladaptation, interactive visualization models for communicating flood risks, and place attachment are key issues to increase flood resilience under climate change. The introduction of adaptation interventions in terms of urban resilience as a part of a comprehensive strategy helps to manage the impacts of climate change towards urban sustainability.

“…These spaces may support urban ecological integrity (Andersson 2006), provide food (Groenewegen et al 2006), improve microclimate regulation (Neuenschwander et al 2014), control pollution (Escobedo et al 2011), filter air (Gill et al 2007), clean water, attenuate noise, and replenish groundwater (Thompson 2002;Sherer 2003;James et al 2009). Considering cities are becoming increasingly hotter, congested, crowded, and polluted (Blanco et al 2009), which could be migrated by UGS, the environment benefits of UGS need more concern and attention for urban sustainability.…”

Abstract. Trinitrotoluene (TNT), a commonly used explosive for military and industrial applications, can cause serious environmental pollution. 28-day laboratory pot experiment was carried out applying bioaugmentation using laboratory selected bacterial strains as inoculum, biostimulation with molasses and cabbage leaf extract, and phytoremediation using rye and blue fenugreek to study the effect of these treatments on TNT removal and changes in soil microbial community responsible for contaminant degradation. Chemical analyses revealed significant decreases in TNT concentrations, including reduction of some of the TNT to its amino derivates during the 28-day tests. The combination of bioaugmentation-biostimulation approach coupled with rye cultivation had the most profound effect on TNT degradation. Although plants enhanced the total microbial community abundance, blue fenugreek cultivation did not significantly affect the TNT degradation rate. The results from molecular analyses suggested the survival and elevation of the introduced bacterial strains throughout the experiment. Keywords: TNT, bioaugmentation, biostimulation, phytoremediation, microbial community.
