    Adaptation Planning Framework to Climate Change for the Urban Environment in Ho Chi Minh City
    (Environmental Informatics and Industrial Ecology, 2008) Storch, Harry; Schmidt, Michael
    The overall objective is to develop and incorporate adaptation into urban decision-making and planning processes with designation criteria and zones that will lead to an increase of resilience to climate-related physical and social vulnerabilities of the urban system of HCMC. Climate Change will likely change current climate conditions and lead to an ongoing sea-level rise and increase in extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall and heat waves etc. These climate related events cause a multitude of potential impacts and risks not only to natural areas but specifically to populations of densely built up metropolitan areas. In foreseeable future they may also cause indirect negative effects such as severe urban floods or disturbances of the energy supply or public transport systems in urban areas. The main task of assessing climate change related impacts in urban areas is to estimate the possible damages that might arise for human-influenced systems by climate change, including extreme weather events. In general there are two elements that define the potential risk: first, the probability of the occurrence of the events and second the “elements” at risk. Events to be included are heat waves, heavy rain, floods etc. "Elements” at risk are not only assets like houses, urban infrastructure services or economic losses, but also human health and livelihood.

    Design, Implementierung und Anwendungsfälle einer Corporate MOOC Software Suite
    (DeLFI 2014 - Die 12. e-Learning Fachtagung Informatik, 2014) Dahrendorf, Daniel; Freitag, Katharina; Schmidt, Mareike; Schmidt, Michael; Schwertel, Uta; Faltin, Nils; Zimmermann, Volker
    Massive Open Online Courses, sogenannte MOOCs, stellen eine innovative Form des Online-Lernens dar, in der Kurse zu umfassenden Themenkomplexen einer potenziell sehr großen Gruppe von Lernern frei im Internet zur Verfügung gestellt werden. MOOCs werden typischerweise in einer Lerncommunity, oftmals fachlich begleitet durch Experten, kollaborativ durchgeführt. In dieser Arbeit berichten wir über die Zielsetzung sowie gesammelte Erfahrungen bei der Umsetzung einer flexibel erweiterbaren MOOC Software Suite. Diese liegt dem offenen MOOC Portal OpenCourseWorld zugrunde, welches Lernern qualitativ hochwertige Kurse in einer Vielzahl von Domänen - von IT bis Betriebswirtschaft - frei zur Verfügung stellt. Das Papier geht dabei auf die Ziele, Funktionalität und Implementierungsaspekte der MOOC Suite selbst ein und erläutert den Anwendungsfall OpenCourseWorld sowie den dazugehörigen Prozess der Erstellung von Kursen. Darüber hinaus werden zugrunde liegende Geschäftsmodelle, wie z. B. mögliche Einsatzmöglichkeiten der Plattform im Unternehmensumfeld, skizziert und geplante Weiterentwicklungen sowie Anwendungspotenziale der Plattform im Rahmen diverser Innovationsprojekte vorgestellt.

    Indicator-based Urban Typologies Sustainability Assessment of Housing Development Strategies in Megacities
    (Managing Environmental Knowledge, 2006) Storch, Harry; Schmidt, Michael
    The paper is based on research experiences of the development of GIS-based sustainability indicators in the application area of urban planning in agglomeration areas. These indicators are related to the European DPSIR framework (Smeets and Weterings 1999): with a strong focus on indicators for assessing the impact of housing developments on the environment. They characterise driving forces and pressures related to demographic developments in agglomeration areas and their manifestation in the resulting land consumption and impacts on the environment. Housing-specific impacts on the urban environment are represented by per capita land consumption, land-use change patterns, and availability of environmental-related public services and infrastructure and the resulting sectoral impacts on environmental media. These indicators form the basis for spatial typologies that are based on intersections of housing-related environmental data and statistical demographic and socio-economic information. How the current lack of experience in the building and availability of these kinds of combined socioenvironmental indicators limits the spatial assessment of environmental impacts of land-use changes resulting from urban planning policies in mega-cities will be discussed. Special attention will be paid to the importance of understanding the spatial structure of settlement area in agglomeration centres in order to develop standards and thresholds for indicators compatible with the observed spatial typologies. A main component used to describe the spatial pattern of agglomeration areas are urban typologies and their occurrence within the built-up area. Finally, it will be explained that the successful implementation of planning-related information and monitoring systems in urban agglomeration areas, requires a strategy that does not further ignore the spatial structure, dimension or demographic and socio-economic dependencies of indicators of housing-related environmental impacts on the environment.

    Simulationsuntertütztes Design von Phänotypisierungssystemen
    (IT-Standards in der Agrar- und Ernährungswirtschaft – Fokus: Risiko- und Krisenmanagement, 2014) Uhrmann, Franz; Hügel, Christian; Schmidt, Michael; Greiner, Günther
    Eine automatische, objektive Erfassung und Auswertung phänotypischer Pflanzenmerkmale ist für viele landwirtschaftliche Anwendungen unerlässlich. Für komplexe Pflanzengeometrien ist das Design von Messsystem für diesen Zweck schwierig. Dieser Artikel präsentiert einen Ansatz, mit dem sich Laser-Lichtschnittsysteme virtuell aufbauen, simulieren und bewerten lassen. Dies ermöglicht eine optimale Planung von 3D-Phänotypisierungssystemen, wie am Beispiel eines Scanners für Tabak-Pflanzen gezeigt wird.

    Spatial Information Management for Megacity Research in Asia
    (Environmental Informatics and Systems Research, 2007) Storch, Harry; Tuan, Bang Anh; Schmidt, Michael
    Asia offers an appropriate setting for the analysis of many of the institutional forces and the urban dynamics that impact the interconnections between humans and their management of environmental resources in the megacities of today (Lo and Marcotullio 2001). This paper presents significant initial results of the urban sustainability assessment research of housing policies at the urban planning level in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). The objective is to develop an urban planning information system based on urban growth theory to assist a more integrated approach to the future sustainable development of housing and settlement structures to balance urban growth and redevelopment in HCMC. Although environmentally inefficient settlement development structures are resulting in an ongoing unsustainable use of land-resources, planning instruments have their limitations to promote the necessary structural changes in spatial development planning. Based on current urban growth research, this paper offers an overview of available indicators that can describe the efficiency of regional and urban spatial structures in relation to land use and land consumption. A special focus will be laid on methodological issues of urban sustainability indicators and their spatial representation by urban typologies for the establishment of an urban planning information system in HCMC.
