Research Themes 【 Display / hide 】

  • Design-led Urban Food=-Energy-Water Management Innovation, 

    2018.04
    -
    2021.03

    　View Summary

    Urban communities are particularly vulnerable to the future demand of food, water and energy, and this is further acerbated by the onset of climate change. A solution needs to be found for a FEW nexus. Granted by Belmont Forum's Sustainable Urbanisation Global Initiative, this internationally diverse project sees urban agriculture as a key facilitator of the Nexus, needing water and energy to become productive. Working directly with living labs in some of the most vulnerable communities in the partner cities, the team aims to co-design new food futures with stakeholders that leave them less vulnerable to forces disturbing the nexus. The lessons learned from these stakeholder workshops will be shared outside the team, so that lessons learned locally can be applied globally.

  • Development of the integrated platform of Geo CPS: cyber-physical systems in geographic space, 

    2017.04
    -
    Present

    　View Summary

    Recent achievement of the Internet of Things (IoT) have brought a great opportunity for GIS to be integrated with physical space as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). This project studies on the platform for integration of cyber and physical world with IoT and various CPS technologies. The platform could be applied for environmental field survey, construction, education and citizen participation etc.

  • Business Model for Community-based Solar Photovoltaic Systems in Post-Didaster Reconstruction,

  • Digital citizen science for responding to covid-19 crisis: Experiences from Iran

    Vahidi H., Taleai M., Yan W., Shaw R.

    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health （International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health)  18 （ 18 ）  2021.09

    ISSN  16617827

    　View Summary

    The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has so far been the most severe global public health emergency in this century. Generally, citizen science can provide a complement to authoritative scientific practices for responding to this highly complex biological threat and its adverse consequences. Several citizen science projects have been designed and operationalized for responding to COVID-19 in Iran since the infection began. However, these projects have mostly been overlooked in the existing literature on citizen science. This research sheds light on the most significant online citizen science projects to respond to the COVID-19 crisis in Iran. Furthermore, it highlights some of the opportunities and challenges associated with the strengths and weaknesses of these projects. Moreover, this study captures and discusses some considerable insights and lessons learned from the failures and successes of these projects and provides solutions to overcome some recognized challenges and weaknesses of these projects. The outcomes of this synthesis provide potentially helpful directions for current and future citizen science projects—particularly those aiming to respond to biological disasters such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
