Sptaio-temporal databases are important to store the real-time location information of large spatio-temporal objects efficiently and retrieve them rapidly. Accordingly necessity for spatio-temporal database system that can manage spatial information, aspatial information and temporal information of spatio-temporal objects is increasing. Sptaio-temporal databases are important to store the real-time location information of large spatio-temporal objects efficiently and retrieve them rapidly. Accordingly necessity for spatio-temporal database system that can manage spatial information, aspatial information and temporal information of spatio-temporal objects is increasing. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a spatio-temporal data model that is able to efficiently manage historical spatio-temporal objects that change dynamically their states as time. Also, various spatio-temporal operations and constraint conditions are defined to keep integrity of spatio-temporal data and spatio-temporal operations.

In Geographic Information System, spatial object can be changed in the attribute information, spatial location and the topological relation between them with the change of time. However traditional GIS deletes the old value of aspatial information and replaces them with new value. Therefore. it is difficult to manage thc history of changed spatial object and can not support the spatio-temporal queries including temporal queries. In this paper, we propose a spatio-temporal objected model to solve this problem. We implement the proposed model with spatio-temporal class using Gothic GIS tool. The historical information of an object is stored into the object itself for the effective history management. And, in order to provide the queries for the history of an object and spatio-temporal relationship, we add temporal operators, spatio-temporal operators, and spatio-temporal query operations into Gothic, and improve the facility of the Gothic.

Domestic 2D maps includes only most up-to-date information at the time of production without historical information. Therefore, it is hard to identify the change history of real world objects. In this research, Spatio-temporal model for 2D map were developed and it's compatibility was verified through the pilot project conducted on the Gwanggyo area of Gyeonggi province. Also, the procedure to generate 2D spatio-temporal database using maps made periodically on the same target area was introduced for showing the possibility of realizing nation wide spatio-temporal 2D map using the national base map updated periodically.

Climate change has influenced on various sectors including ecosystem, water resource, natural hazards and health and so on. Thus, it is essential to more accurately assess climate change impact and prepare adaptation strategy. However, it is difficult to assess for climate change impact on various sectors with integrated form due to various data format by sectors. In this study, we prepared criteria and indicators for assessing climate change impact and integrated GIS based data which in correspond to indicators based on spatio-temporal information using GIS. Finally we suggest a guideline to assess vulnerability of each sectors to climate change based on integrated spatio-temporal information.

Most of the real world phenomena change over time. The ability to represent and to reason geographic data becomes crucial. A large amount of non-standard applications are dealing with data characterized by spatial, temporal and/or uncertainty features. Non-standard data like spatial and temporal data have an inner complex structure requiring sophisticated data representation, and their operations necessitate sophisticated and efficient algorithms. Current GIS technology is inefficient to model and to handle complex geographic phenomena, which involve space, time and uncertainty dimensions. This paper concentrates on developing a fuzzy spatio-temporal data model based on fuzzy set theory and relational data models. Fuzzy spatio-temporal operators are also provided to support dynamic query.

Land price is a kind of text to read urban spatial structure. The purpose of this paper is to inquire into the characteristics of Daegu's urban structure and its change in time through exploring spatio-temporal variations of land price with a detailed spatial and temporal resolution. To achieve this, land value surfaces were represented using the officially assessed land price every other year from 1995 to 2011. Through mapping and exploring spatio-temporal patterns and fluctuation rates of land price for this period, changes in urban structure, the effects of local decision makings such as Greenbelt adjustment, housing site development, and gentrification, and the effects of business fluctuations or policies at global or national scales could be caught. In addition, the trends for suburbanization and multi-centric urban form could be examined from the results of a negative exponential model explaining the effect of distance from an urban center on spatial variation of land price. These results demonstrate that urban analysis using land price mirroring spatial decision making at various scales could deepen understanding for internal structure and change of a city and provide useful information for establishing regional and urban development policies and evaluating their effects.

For consistent vegetation monitoring, it is necessary to generate time-series vegetation index datasets at fine temporal and spatial scales by fusing the complementary characteristics between temporal and spatial scales of multiple satellite data. In this study, we quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed the prediction accuracy of time-series change information extracted from spatio-temporal fusion models of multiple satellite data for vegetation monitoring. As for the spatio-temporal fusion models, we applied two models that have been widely employed to vegetation monitoring, including a Spatial and Temporal Adaptive Reflectance Fusion Model (STARFM) and an Enhanced Spatial and Temporal Adaptive Reflectance Fusion Model (ESTARFM). To quantitatively evaluate the prediction accuracy, we first generated simulated data sets from MODIS data with fine temporal scales and then used them as inputs for the spatio-temporal fusion models. We observed from the comparative experiment that ESTARFM showed better prediction performance than STARFM, but the prediction performance for the two models became degraded as the difference between the prediction date and the simultaneous acquisition date of the input data increased. This result indicates that multiple data acquired close to the prediction date should be used to improve the prediction accuracy. When considering the limited availability of optical images, it is necessary to develop an advanced spatio-temporal model that can reflect the suggestions of this study for vegetation monitoring.

We will catch the spatio-temporal changes that analyse the unknown topography of Go-Gunsan Islands using Landsat TM satellite images into an unsupervised ISODATA classification and a supervised nearest likelihood classification. Each sedimental topography has the different characteristics according to building the Saemangeum embarkment. We will deal with the distribution of sedimental shapes using ERDAS Imagine 8. 6. The result that classifies specifically topographic properties of our research area be considered to get use of establishing the reclaiming program and predicating the reclaimed sedimental topography. The research area can be classified into tidal flats and sea level using band 4 among 7 bands of Landsat TM. Also band 5 can be used to classify the special unknown shapes of tidal flats. We will clarify the efficiency that spatio-temporal sedimental changes can be extracted through processing satellite images. Therefore, the spatio-temporal unknown topography change monitoring using satellite images is expected to be very useful to clarify whether the tidal flat is generated or not in the Go-Gunsan Islands at the outer side of the embarkment after constructing completely the Saemangeum tidal embarkment.

A simulated realistic virtual environment is inhabited by autonomous cyber-humans who play the roles of agents in events. A key element, which enables this realism, is the historical context formed by time and space. A knowledge-representation scheme, composed of both spatial and temporal aspects needed by the agent to respond to dynamically changing situations, is essential for the design of a realistic virtual agent. In this work, spatial and temporal aspects of dynamic situations in the virtual environment have been formalized as a key component of our knowledge-representation scheme. This scheme provides a mathematical framework to construct realistic virtual situations that change with time, and background knowledge for agents in the simulated environment to deduce new pieces of information and plan against changing situations.

Forest Canopy Density is a dynamic process mediated by various natural and anthropogenic factors. It can be changed over time and locations in the same forest type and landscape. However, human dimensions are considered as the primary force of landscape change and subsequent forest canopy loss in tropical regions of the world. Many studies have been indicated that roads have a far greater impact on forests than simply allowing access for human use. Similarly, rivers have been used as means of transportation, hence illegal logging and felling further deplete forest canopy density. The main objective of this study was to investigate the spatio-temporal dynamic alterations of Forest Canopy Density (FCD) across with site associated factors such as biophysical, physical and human interferences in tropical region of Nepal from 1988 to 2001. Landsat TM and ETM+ of 1988 and 2001 were used to assess the spatial and temporal dynamic alterations of FCD. This analysis revealed that distance to human settlements at P=<0.01, rivers, human interferences (path and fire) and species composition had a statistically significance at P=<0.05 level. However, other factors did not show any significant relation. So, we concluded that understanding of dynamic alterations of FCD with respect to factors was quite complex phenomena. Other surrounding environment could also playa significant role. A comprehensive analysis could be required to understand such complexities. Therefore, additional factors such as climatic, biophysical, social, and institutional with respect to spatio-temporal variability should be considered for the better understanding of canopy dynamic.
