Linking Flat Unit Attributes to 3D GIS Database


mguo - Posted on 05 January 2017

Project Description: 

New frontiers in environmental and health research emerge with the unit of analysis set at individual or household level. A barrier for current research is that we lack accurate measurement of the flat unit attributes in Hong Kong. Linking and supplementing raw datasets will establish household-based built environment dataset and provide major opportunities to environmental impact on human wellbeing and socio-economic status in cities.

Research Project Details
Project Duration: 
12/2016 to 05/2017
Project Significance: 
It will provide physical flat unit attributes to each flat unit in the Family Cohort database across hong kong, facilitating the investigation into detailed health impact of built environment in high density cities.
Remarks: 
HKP will be employed to processing large-scale simulation of urban built environment.
