Park Development, Potential Measurement, and Site Selection Study Based on Interpretable Machine Learning—A Case Study of Shenzhen City, China by Haihong Li, Li He

“…The study indicates that: ① Shenzhen’s parks exhibit complex differentiation characteristics in terms of natural landscape elements and the intensity of economic activities; ② The geographically weighted random forest (GWRF) model has better learning and generalization capabilities compared to the random forest (RF) model, and the average accuracy of the GWRF model is improved by 0.04 compared to the traditional RF model; ③ The park’s development potential is divided according to the results of the GWRF model, with 52.01% denoted as the potential incubation zone, 21.15% the potential accumulation zone, 8.25% the potential growth zone, and 18.59% the potential core zone; ④ Through interpretability analysis, it is identified that vegetation coverage, the density of tourist attractions or points of interest (POI), slope, elevation, and nighttime light intensity are the most significant factors affecting park development potential, while the distance to roads and the distance to bodies of water are the least influential factors. …”

Mapping and analysis of the 2024 Brazil record flooding with Multi-Satellite Data by Donglian Sun, Lihang Zhou, Sanmei Li, Tianshu Yang, Meng Yuan, Andrew Lomax

“…The analysis indicated several key findings: (1) The operational VIIRS flood products provided flooding information consistent with the flood extent maps from the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC); (2) The VIIRS downscaled floodwater depth at 30-m resolution provided high resolution equivalent to SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) and allied well with the SAR-based flood extent in the South-eastern region of the state, while maintaining VIIRS’s advantage of large spatial coverage; (3) The 3D maps of VIIRS operational flood products at the original 375-m resolution and the downscaled VIIRS floodwater depth at 30-m resolution revealed that flooding is highly related to surface elevation and slope; and (4) Quantitative analysis of the VIIRS downscaled flood map and SAR flood extents indicates an overall accuracy of 80%, a precision of 61%, a recall of 91%, and an F1 score of 73%.…”
