Dealing with the provision of building utilities in such circumstances has become a formidable challenge. During lockdowns, it becomes crucial to allocate resources strategically, giving priority to residential areas over commercial and financial districts based on population density. Identifying residential areas is of utmost importance not only for effective emergency response during natural disasters but also for ensuring fair distribution of electricity and gas when resources are scarce. However, accurately delineating residential zones is challenging due to the intricate nature of urban landscapes. This paper aims to discuss a comprehensive indicator that utilizes open-source intelligence and incorporates a multi-criteria decision-making framework to assess the likelihood of an area being residential. This indicator will greatly assist in optimizing resource allocation for power, gas, and water distribution. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, a case study conducted in Nicosia, Cyprus, is presented. PubDate: 2023-10-16 DOI: 10.48258.3 Issue No:Vol. 27, No. 3 (2023)

Authors:Sara Zollini, Maria Alicandro, Donatella Dominici Abstract: This paper has the main purpose of proposing a methodology to understand the occupation of parking spots by using the synergy of different geomatic techniques. Aerial, satellites, and UAV data are studied through the OBIA to analyse, by change detection, the main differences pre-, during and post-lockdown due to Covid-19. The first results are really promising and pave the ground for a future automation of the proposed procedure. The results can be also integrated in BIM and GIS to help the management of utilities consumption in emergency periods, and they create a dataset to enhance and increase consumption efficiency in residential areas.

Authors:Giulia Lamberti, Giacomo Salvadori Abstract: The study presents a method to determine window opening time and frequency, considering window characteristics, indoor and outdoor conditions, and room occupancy. Results reveal that opening time correlates with room surface and occupancy but diminishes with larger window areas and favourable discharge coefficients based on window types. Additionally, in windless conditions, opening time decreases as the indooroutdoor temperature difference increases. PubDate: 2023-10-16 DOI: 10.48258.6 Issue No:Vol. 27, No. 3 (2023)

Authors:Marco Lisi Abstract: Jamming interference to GNSS receivers is a growing threat as more systems and devices rely on GNSS for Positioning, Navigation, and timing (PNT). The European GNSS Agency (GSA today EAASA) estimated there were 6.4 billion GNSS-enabled devices in use worldwide in 2019, and forecasts this will rise to 9.5 billion by 2029 — equivalent to 1.1 devices for every person in the world.
