“…Although nature conservation might not directly be considered a human demand, different ecological aspects, such as the invasion potential, are driven by moral concepts and are listed here. This may be relevant in locations where non-native species are able to spread easily or where they grow close to natural reserves (Hawthorne et al, 2015).…”

“…It emphasizes the co-production and dissemination of spatial data, information and tools that are context appropriate, and often involves long-term partnerships between the university and community organizations (Robinson, 2010). CG investigates topics that largely affect underrepresented and marginalized populationsfood insecurity (Block and Bouman, 2007), social, environmental and health disparities (Miller et al, 2015), access to services, green spaces (Hawthorne et al, 2015), housing, transportation, education, and neighbourhood quality to name a few.…”

Early advocates of Public Participation Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS) envisioned a future in which members of the public (broadly) and members of marginalized communities (specifically) would utilize geographic information and spatial technologies to affect positive change within their communities. Yet in spite of the emergence and success of PPGIS, open source geospatial tools, and the geoweb, access barriers recognized by proponents of PPGIS in the mid-1990s persist. As a result, PPGIS facilitators continue to be instrumental in addressing access barriers to geospatial technologies among resource poor organizations and marginalized groups. 'Community geography', is a growing area of academic geography that leverages university community partnerships to facilitate access to spatial technology, data, and analysis. Experiences from community geography programmes at three universities (Chicago State University, Syracuse University, and Columbus State University) demonstrate the benefits and challenges of a facilitated model of PPGIS.

“…Additionally, high resolution vegetation maps and land use maps can be freely extracted from Google Earth Imagery, and used to infer the impacts of different types of greening on temperature. Finally, the emerging Volunteered Geographic Information (Goodchild 2007, Arribas-Bel 2014, is available to the aid acquisition and validation of geographical information and variables to improve analyses (Foody et al 2013, Basiouka and Potsiou 2012, Hawthorne et al 2015, Spinsanti and Ostermann 2013. Hence, moving forward, there is tremendous potential for future research to understand electricity consumption and urban climate at a high temporal and spatial resolution for spatial risk assessment, urban planning and energy industry, for current and future scenarios…”

Urban heat and residential electricity consumption: A preliminary study

Urban heat and residential electricity consumption: a preliminary study. AbstractThe Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a well-documented phenomenon occurring in cities across the world resulting in city centres often being several degrees warmer than their surroundings.This local elevation in temperatures could potentially impact upon local energy consumption, with residents in the warmer central section of the city using more energy to cool their homes in summer and less energy to warm them in winter. This study uses a combination of Geographical Information System techniques and Remote Sensing data (MODIS LST and NDVI), as a preliminary investigation, to assess the spatial relationship between UHI, urban greenspace, household income and electricity consumption in Birmingham, UK. It provides simple and repeatable steps, based on freely available datasets, for urban planners, industry, human and physical geographers, and non-specialists to reproduce the analyses. The results show that, the present impact of the UHI is limited and instead highlights the dominance of household income over local climate in explaining consumption patterns across Birmingham.
