About the workshop:
Lacunarity is a property of fractals that helps analyze the distribution of gaps within spatial structures across multiple scales. This workshop will be led by Associate Professor Dr. Mauro Barros Filho from the Federal University of Campina Grande, Brazil, whose extensive research on this topic has been published in books and scientific journals.
The workshop is divided into two parts. The first part introduces the concept of lacunarity, explains how it works, and explores its applications in urban studies. The second part presents the main features and functionalities of LACUNAE, a software tool for analyzing the lacunarity of digital images.
To better understand the contribution of lacunarity to urban morphological analysis, participants will be invited to conduct hands-on experiments using LACUNAE with a satellite image of the community of Edmonston, MD.
