The problem of rational use of resources is a priority for all mankind, which is confirmed by the presence of many national and interstate programs in the field of environmental management, resource conservation and improving the efficiency of environmental management. Forest complex play a special role in the rational use of natural resources. For...

Fidelity is a fundamental concept for crucial decision-making processes during engineering design, test and evaluation of aircraft and rotorcraft. Fidelity, as applied to rotorcraft, proves to be a prerequisite for most human factors research and simulator development programs. This paper reviews the concept of fidelity, its metrics and methods con...

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) offer interesting alternatives to satellites or airplanes regarding flight agility and image resolution. These sensor platforms may well be used to monitor vines field all throughout the vine’s growing season at a very high spatial resolution. They could provide useful information, different to that normally considere...

Self-driving vehicles will soon be a reality, as main automotive companies have announced that they will sell their driving automation modes in the 2020s. This technology raises relevant controversies, especially with recent deadly accidents. Nevertheless, autonomous vehicles are still popular and attractive thanks to the improvement they represent...

The objective of this paper is to propose an approach to harmonise noisy spatial data acquired by different operators using (low-cost) hand-held sensors over the same spatial domain. In such cases, datasets need to be harmonised first to be comparable before decision making. This work proposes a methodology to address this issue in the case of nest...

This article focuses on the interest of using dynamic Highway Code learning materials, particularly for deaf people who present low temporal skills. Twenty-one deaf and 24 hearing candidates of Highway Code were involved in a decision-making task. Four types of driving situations (overtaking, insertion on roundabout, insertion on highway and crossi...

Understanding the gender dimensions of community-based groundwater governance is important because men and women differ in their need for and having access to groundwater, and their participation in the development, management and monitoring of the resource. The leading role played by women in obtaining and safeguarding water is not usually reflect...

Humans considerably vary in the degree to which they rely on their peers to make decisions. Why? Theoretical models predict that environmental risks shift the cost-benefit trade-off associated with the exploitation of others’ behaviours (public information), yet this idea has received little empirical support. Using computational analyses of behavi...

Since the late 1990s, river basin planning has become a central idea in water resources management and a mainstream approach supported by international donors through their water programs globally. This article presents river basin planning as a function of power and contested arena of power struggles, where state actors create, sustain, and reprod...
