(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 15th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2003: Land, Place and Space), 2003)The process of classifying objects is a fundamental feature of most human pursuits, and the idea that people classify together those things that they find similar is both intuitive and popular across a wide range of ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 15th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2003: Land, Place and Space), 2003)The field of spatial data mining (Chawla, Shekhar,Wu & Ozesmi 2001), has been influenced by many other disciplines such as neural networks (Rumelhart, Hinton & Williams 1986), machine learning (Mitchell 1997), fuzzy systems ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 18th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2006: Interactions and Spatial Processes), 2006)A Dynamic map is implemented and tested using a cartogram algorithm to distort space to enlarge any areas of user interest. The map organises space into a hierarchy of shapes, island at the country level, provinces at the ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 18th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2006: Interactions and Spatial Processes), 2006)This presentation discusses and demonstrates ways in which modern technology, specifically Web-based GIS (augmented by low-tech data gathering strategies), and a web page based on local meetings of fishermen and other ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 17th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2005: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2005)The leading cause of mortality in 15-24 year-olds in New Zealand is injury, accounting for three quarters of deaths. Road traffic crashes account for over half of all injury deaths and a third of hospitalisations, and ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 17th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2005: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2005)Reintroduction of threatened species to predator-free offshore islands has long been advocated in New Zealand as a prime management tool for conservation. They also provide a good experimental framework to investigate ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 17th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2005: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2005)The complexity of land transportation systems nowadays requires an appropriate way of modelling and representing its related transportation features for ease of storage, retrieval, analysis and decision making. Transportation ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 17th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2005: A Spatio-temporal Workshop), 2005)Hector’s dolphins are an endemic species found along coasts in both the North and South Islands in New Zealand. They are primarily observed along the coast within 5 nautical miles (nm) of the shore. Surveys conducted during ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 19th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2007: Does Space Matter?), 2007)The last decade has seen resurgence of interest in the modelling of networked phenomena. In 1999, Albert and Barabási identified "scale-free" networks as being surprisingly widespread in phenomena as wide-ranging as the ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Oral presentation), 18th Annual Colloquium of the Spatial Information Research Centre (SIRC 2006: Interactions and Spatial Processes), 2006)There is growing research interest in the relationship between the geographic density of liquor outlets and the incidence of various harms (e.g., assault), however, to date, detail is lacking on the quality of data used ...
