Data on the shape of land lots are needed in urban planning analyses. However, large amounts of shape data are often unavailable. In this paper we develop a method of estimating the boundary lines of land lots. With the assumption that the vertices of lots are tentatively given and that their...

Information is taken from the Web for the hedonic analysis of real-estate rent. Twenty-three wards in Tokyo are chosen as the data-collection areas and the rents of condominiums are estimated. To utilize the website information, variables signifying areal reputation are generated from weblog...

In this paper, we use the question "what is the true nature of traditional street networks in Turkish cities?" to test different quantitative methods of urban morphological analysis. Traditional Turkish street networks are characterized by discriminant functions of several space-syntax-related...

The model is based on the idea that, if the shapes of lots are similar, then the positions of associated houses may also be...
