This book aims to provide a wide range of real-world applications in using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for geographic observation, spatial modeling, and urban informatics. Specifically, UAVs are incredibly effective platforms for connecting people, places, and technology. This book explores the utility of UAVs for monitoring, measuring, and improving urban infrastructure systems, urban sustainability, and the urban environment. The dynamism of cities provides opportunities for economic, social, and environmental change, but benchmarking and measuring cities continues to be challenging. This challenge is due, at least in part, to a lack of monitoring systems that can collect and analyze data at a granular enough scale to capture the nuance of local phenomena. UAVs offer a promising mechanism to fill this niche, serving as a measurement platform that can rapidly and inexpensively collect data and monitor change in cities. However, their use is fraught with social, operational, regulatory, and technical challenges for successful deployments.
This book provides a resource for urbanists (e.g., planners, geographers, sociologists, epidemiologists, engineers), educators, and students who work with geographic information and seek to enhance these data using data and information from unmanned aerial vehicles. At the same time, we provide operational and methodological frameworks for carrying out these advanced analyses in a manner that considers the challenges of incorporating UAVs in research within the urban environment. We provide six unique applications of UAVs for urban analysis, detailing relevant policy and empirical questions, UAV mission parameters, data collection, spatial modeling, and the associated empirical results. Further, we discuss how best to integrate these results into actionable geospatial intelligence and policy development to improve city infrastructure systems, sustainability, the environment, and neighborhood quality.

本書旨在提供無人機（UAV）在地理觀測、空間建模和城市資訊學中的廣泛實際應用。具體而言，無人機是連接人、地點和技術的極有效平台。本書探討無人機在監測、測量和改善城市基礎設施系統、城市可持續性和城市環境方面的效用。城市的動態性為經濟、社會和環境變化提供了機會，但對城市進行基準測量和評估仍然具有挑戰性。這一挑戰至少部分源於缺乏能夠在足夠細緻的尺度上收集和分析數據的監測系統，以捕捉當地現象的細微差別。無人機提供了一種有前景的機制來填補這一空白，作為一個測量平台，能夠快速且低成本地收集數據並監測城市變化。然而，它們的使用面臨著社會、操作、法規和技術等多方面的挑戰，這些挑戰對成功部署至關重要。
本書為城市工作者（例如規劃師、地理學家、社會學家、流行病學家、工程師）、教育工作者和學生提供了一個資源，這些人員在使用地理資訊時，尋求利用無人機所提供的數據和資訊來增強這些數據。同時，我們提供了操作和方法論框架，以便在考慮將無人機納入城市環境研究的挑戰的情況下，進行這些先進分析。我們提供了六個無人機在城市分析中的獨特應用，詳細說明相關的政策和實證問題、無人機任務參數、數據收集、空間建模及相關的實證結果。此外，我們討論了如何最好地將這些結果整合為可行的地理空間情報和政策發展，以改善城市基礎設施系統、可持續性、環境和社區品質。
作者簡介
Dr. Tony Grubesic is the Center for Geospatial Sciences director and a professor in the School of Public Policy at the University of California, Riverside. His research and teaching interests are spatial data science, regional development, and public policy evaluation. Author of over 170 research publications, his recent work focuses on community vulnerability, broadband Internet deployment, health disparities, and air transportation systems. Grubesic is also an FAA-certified commercial drone pilot. Tony's research has been funded by the National Academies of Science, the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Institute for Museum and Library Services, and many other state and federal agencies. Grubesic holds a Ph.D. from Ohio State University.
Dr. Jake Nelson is a geographic information scientist focusing on social and environmental outcomes of humans' interaction with the built and natural environment. He specifically focuses on social and environmental vulnerability as it relates to exogenous shocks that are either anthropogenically or naturally induced. He approaches these phenomena through a spatial lens, using geospatial and statistical techniques and relying on unmanned aerial vehicles as a primary data collection tool. Nelson holds a Ph.D. from Arizona State University.
Dr. Ran Wei is a geographic information scientist interested in spatial analysis and optimization to support policy and decision-making in transportation, energy infrastructure, environment sustainability, community resilience, public health, and crime issues. Wei received the 2021 Charles Revelle Rising Star Award from the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences. The National Science Foundation, Utah Transit Authorities, U.S. Department of Transportation, National Academies of Sciences, and Regional Science Association International have funded her research. Wei holds a Ph.D. from Arizona State University.作者簡介(中文翻譯)
