Developing sustainable communities in Edinburgh’s South East Wedge: The settlement model and design solution. (2003)
Journal Article
Deakin, M. (2003). Developing sustainable communities in Edinburgh’s South East Wedge: The settlement model and design solution. Journal of Urban Design, 8(2), 137-148. https://doi.org/10.1080/13574800306481

Sustainable communities are seen as offering the opportunity to manage growth in plan-led and environmentally friendly patterns of settlement. The settlement model put forward and design solution for the development of sustainable communities in the...

Using a persistent system to construct a customised interface to an ecological db. (1993)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barclay, P. J., Fraser, C., & Kennedy, J. (1992, July). Using a persistent system to construct a customised interface to an ecological db. Presented at 1st International workshop on Interfaces to Database

New applications of information technology have increasingly sophisticated user interface requirements. Such interfaces are sometimes highly application specific and therefore require to be customised to the given application area. Technology is requ...

Modelling ecological data. (1992)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barclay, P. J., & Kennedy, J. (1992, June). Modelling ecological data. Presented at 6th International Workshop on Scientific and Statistical Database Management, 1992

Ecological surveys generate large quantities of data; database technology has not yet reached its full
potential in this area. Here we investigate approaches to modelling ecological data, considering the require-
ments for a successful model. An ob... Read More about Modelling ecological data..
