Author(s): Tudor Borșan,Levente Dimén / Language(s): English Issue: 34/2023

The paper focuses on the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in analyzing and understanding territorial crime phenomena. By utilizing geospatial data and GIS technology, we have demonstrated how this technique can be used to map and analyze crime across various geographical areas.The study conducted over a 10-year period (2012-2021) reveals that Bucharest, the country's capital, records the highest crime rate, followed by counties hosting municipalities with over 300,000 inhabitants. Conversely, other counties with populations below 100,000 inhabitants are at the opposite end of the list, presenting lower crime rates. These findings highlight significant disparities in crime across different regions, emphasizing the importance of long-term analysis of this phenomenon and its impact across diverse geographic areas.

Analysis of Shading in the Preselection Process of Lands for the Construction of Photovoltaic Parks

Author(s): Tudor Borșan,George Emanuel Voicu / Language(s): English Issue: 34/2023

Through this paper, we aim to showcase the ways in which we can harness elevation models for studying shading within the GIS environment. This goal is tied to the project in which my colleague, George Emanuel Voicu, and I have participated, a project involving the acquisition of topographic data and spatial analyses to highlight shading studies – crucial aspects in selecting the most suitable areas for constructing a photovoltaic park. The initial phase involves gathering precise topographic and geospatial information, including climate data and celestial positioning. These acquired data are then integrated into Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to provide a comprehensive view of the terrain and environmental factors that could influence shading. The subsequent step involves using advanced simulation and modeling technologies to analyze the behavior of solar radiation under various conditions and at different time intervals. This stage is pivotal in generating accurate shading models that delineate critical areas with shading potential and their effects on solar panels.

Improving Human Living Using Bathymetric Methods

Author(s): Lavinia Ramona Chișbac,Silvia Alexandra Dreghici / Language(s): English Issue: 34/2023

The continuous technological improvement in bathymetric equipment, positioning capacity, data processing, as well as the development of new ways of depth determinations and exploring the submerged relief, have been noticed in recent years. There are multiple techniques, more or less precise, used for depth surveying. Among these, acoustic and radio bathymetry are most widely used. Survey systems can be autonomous or mounted on various platforms and also can provide different accuracies. If GNSS data is correlated with the bathymetric survey systems, the results have improved accuracy. Additionally, optical methods (based on active or passive sensors) can be used for depth surveys. Comparing to topography, even despite the multiple bathymetric methods and their usage, underwater still remains uncertain or unknown. Though, administrative decisions based on bathymetric data include maritime or nautical navigation safety, coastal spatial planning, environmental protection, underwater exploration, research and monitoring, and not least underwater resources exploitation. A better knowledge and understanding of the underwater relief could lead human to reduce water pollution, and therefore, to a better life.

Image-Based 3D Reconstruction of Buildings For Automated Construction Progress Monitoring

Author(s): Constantin Irinel Greșiță,Daniela Anamaria Georgescu / Language(s): English Issue: 35/2023

Three dimensional models are the next step from 2D models, which come with a third-dimensional addition bringing more information about the spatial objects they represent. These models can be obtained by methods such as laser scanning or image-based reconstruction, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.Image-based 3D reconstruction has been applied in many fields, such as civil engineering, where topics such as earthquake prevention and disaster reduction, construction monitoring, and smart city construction have been studied.In this paper, we propose to create the 3D model of the historical building Izvoranu - Geblescu based on the images taken with the drone and supplemented with the images obtained with the mobile phone, despite its height and the vegetation, respectively the trees around it. The study also explores the applicability of two 3D modeling software products in the present situation as well as the shortcomings of each of them.

Author(s): Alexandru Petru Aloman,Silvia Alexandra Dreghici / Language(s): English Issue: 35/2023

Large dams, with their impressive structures, are included in categories of high importance constructions. Therefore, all the repeated systematic activities involving surveying, registration, processing and interpretation of certain parameters defining the way they maintain their requirements for stability and durability play an important role in stability monitoring. The paper focus on the knowledge of the building state and behavior during the considered period of time in relation to the initial prediction of the designer and to the previous monitoring period. The case study refers to the Oașa Dam, the main hydropower construction on the Sebeș River, Alba County. Also, it is important to establish and to highlight „atypical” phenomena which are able to produce degradations or changes in building safety and functionality. When such phenomena are reported during the monitoring of the building behavior, a commission of specialists will come up with proposals for possible measures in order to maintain, within acceptable limits, the building functionality, security and stability. In such cases, there is also required to improve the monitoring methods.

Geoinformation modeling of radioactive contamination of territories on the example of mines of the “ShidGSK” mining and processing plant

Geoinformation modeling of radioactive contamination of territories on the example of mines of the “ShidGSK” mining and processing plant

Author(s): N. Neposhyvailenko,V. Gulyaev,Y. Gritsan,O. Huba / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2024

The aim of the study was to model the territorial distribution and statistical assessment of migration through the trophic chain of naturally occurring radionuclides released into the environment as a result of uranium ore mining. Statistical, geoinformation and experimental research methods were used in the study. Interpolation of the results of volumetric activity of natural radionuclides in environmental components and development of spatial models of their territorial distribution were performed using the ArcGIS software; statistical processing of modelling results and development of mathematical models of migration of natural radionuclides between environmental components were performed using ArcGIS Geostatistical Analyst software. The paper substantiates the choice of the method of geostatistical modelling of the territorial distribution of volumetric activity of natural radionuclides 234U, 238U, 210Po, 210Pb, 226Ra in soils and plants, which allows modelling the values of probabilistic indicators of radioecological contamination in the absence of a sufficient array of initial actual research results. Based on the analysis of the data obtained, the methodology of mathematical modelling of migration of natural radionuclides between soil and plant parts was further developed, which will facilitate consideration of the specifics of migration of natural radionuclides through the trophic chain and help in determining the level of radioecological hazard to the environment. The developed territorial models allow one to obtain stochastic data for their further analytical processing and visualizing radioecological hazard zones. Based on the developed models, zones of increased radioecological hazard within the existing sources of radioactive contamination were identified.

Author(s): Lucyna Wachecka-Kotkowska,Dariusz Krzyszkowski,Dariusz Wieczorek / Language(s): Polish Issue: 116/2024

This article presents an overview of the results of studies of Pleistocene deposits carried out from 2010 to 2023 inthe Bełchatów Open-cast Lignite Mine, Szczerców field. Initially, studies of glacial till were conducted, but later the focus wason alluvia and lacustrine sediments. The reconstructions made use of lithopetrographic studies for the glacial tills, and forthe fluvial and lacustrine sediments made use of wide-ranging palaeoecological studies (analyses of Diatoms, pollen, plant andseed macro-remnants and Cladoceran, freshwater fauna, Chironomidae communities, and studies of mineral composition, ni-trogen and oxygen isotopes, anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility of the sediment). Some of the younger sediments were alsodisbursed using the radiocarbon method. The exposed Pleistocene profile has not been fully studied. About 400 samples from2014 and 2017–23 are awaiting analysis, and the lower tills are being studied to determine their age, sampled in 2022.

Zmiany morfologiczne w obrębie doliny Pilicy pomiędzy Sulejowem a Smardzewicami w latach 1968–2016

Author(s): Aleksander Szmidt,Marcin Jaskulski,Marcin KOSSOWSKI / Language(s): Polish Issue: 116/2024

The article attempts to determine the geomorphological changes in the bottom of the Pilica valley between Sulejówand Smardzewice near Tomaszów Mazowiecki in the period from the late 1960s to 2016. The research was divided into threeparts. The first part included the most faithful reconstruction of the topography of the valley bottom, not only based on a con-tour drawing, but also on an additional geomorphological interpretation not described using classic cartographic methods.In the second stage of work, an attempt was made to recreate the relief of the valley floor, which was already the bottom ofan artificial water reservoir. For this purpose, measurements of the reservoir depth were made using sonar. The sonar data weresupplemented with the results of geomorphological interpretation and photointerpretation in places where direct measurementscould not be made. In the third stage of research, based on the morphometric situation from 1968 and 2016, an attempt wasmade to determine changes in the morphometry of the valley floor during the formation and functioning of the Sulejów Reser-voir.
