Costes del 'Urban Sprawl' para la Administración local. El caso valenciano
2022
Esta investigación tiene como principal objetivo cuantificar el efecto de la dispersión urbana sobre el coste de los servicios públicos básicos mediante un modelo de gasto que pueda servir de instrumento para un mejor conocimiento de las consecuencias sobre la hacienda pública del urbanismo. Así pues, el documento establece el marco teórico, las hipótesis y los objetivos de la investigación; define la metodología y las fuentes de información utilizadas; realiza una primera aproximación al modelo urbano de la Comunidad Valenciana y define un indicador de dispersión urbana municipal, con el que caracteriza la dispersión urbana de cada uno de los municipios de la Comunidad Valenciana; cuantifi…
Clustering cities through urban metrics analysis
2017
[EN] This paper describes a process for measuring and characterizing urban morphological zones. These urban zones are delineated for the entire area of Spain, independently of administrative boundaries and excluding demographic data, using a high resolution land-use dataset. Given the rich information available on land cover and subsequently assigned population data, it is possible to calculate a set of urban spatial metrics to classify these urban zones into homogenous morphological groups. Four types of urban agglomerations are identified in Spain by working with these urban metrics and applying a final cluster analysis. Although these groups have a general complex monocentric typology, e…
Potencialidades de Google Maps en la investigación social aplicada
2019
In recent years, Google has devoted resources to build a complete map of the world. They constantly scan the territory, collecting a large amount of data that provides updated and complete geographic information. This allows us to have an interoperable map that provides the end user with a search tool, not only of routes but also of shops, equipment and any type of geo-referenced information. In addition, Google Maps provides a series of Application Programming Interface (API), which provides a library of set of subroutines, functions and procedures (in object-oriented programming) that can be used by other software to automate the extraction of information of the Google platform. These fre…
