Iceland's significant onshore wind energy potential remains untapped, with no operational wind farms despite recognized opportunities for over a decade. Two wind energy projects, approved under Iceland's Master Plan for Nature Protection and Energy Utilization - a legally enshrined...

Accurate estimates of the potential number of daily visitors are an important parameter in the planning of transportation infrastructure, allowing the development of appropriate solutions for specific planning cases. In this paper, previous methods for recording or estimating potential daily...

Use of Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping in tandem with Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) has become increasingly common as a means of determining the optimal location and design of renewable energy projects. However, to date, no attempt has been made to synthesise the location...

This paper presents the development and implementation of a lightweight, entirely client-side web mapping tool tailored for users of short-term rental platforms. By leveraging Leaflet.js, OpenStreetMap data, and custom GeoJSON layers, the application enables location-aware experiences without...

The JRC's Photovoltaic Geographical Information System (PVGIS) has been supporting the uptake of photovoltaics for more than 20 years. Today this public service is even more relevant in view of a) the revised EU's binding renewable energy target to a minimum of 42.5% for 2030; b) the EU's commitment...

The purpose of this study is to examine the probable role of geographic information systems (GIS) in sustainable tourism, rural community-based natural resource management (CBNRM) and inclusive community development and participation in Sub-Saharan Africa, Africa naturally and many rural areas...

The development of a country cannot be realized only through the amount of energy it produces and its industrialization. In a country where its people are left homeless and poor, and its cultural and natural riches are destroyed, the electricity produced is not a measure of development on its...
