The fuelwood problem and the sustainable reproduction of rural life in Mai-ai-ihii Village, Kenya
(Real Estate and Construction Management, University of Nairobi, 1992) -
Functions of Juakali Artisans
(1994)Mounting demographic pressures, rising unemployment among school leavers, the rising cost of education against diminishing resources and shrinking jobs in both formal public and private sectors are some of the key challenges ... -
Fundamentals of GIS
(2013)Geographic Information System(GIS) is defined as a special type of information system that is used to input, store, retrieve, process, analyze and visualize geospatial data and information in order to support decision ... -
Fundamentals of Photogrammetry
(2013)Like in many other disciplines, there is no universally accepted definition of the term photogrammetry. The Manual of Photogrammetry (2003) defines photogrammetry as the art, science, and technology of obtaining reliable ... -
Fundamentals of Remote Sensing
(2013)Remote sensing is defined as the art, science and technology through which the characteristics of object features/targets either on, above or even below the earth’s surface are identified, measured and analyzed without ... -
Fundamentals of Surveying and Geodesy
(2013)Although the environment has remained at the forefront of scientific interest for well over four decades (e.g., Lein (2012)), it is not until this decade that remote sensing of the environment using geodetic methods started ... -
Fusion Of Multi-sensor Data And The Automatic Classification Of Urban Environments: A Case Study Of Colour Aerial Photography And Airborne Laser Scanning Data.
(Geospatial and Space Technology, University of Nairobi, 2001) -
The Future of the Housing Sector in Kenya’s Development
(Real Estate and Construction Management, University of Nairobi, 2009) -
Gati na Mikoko: The Management of Waterfront Lands in Mombasa
(1992)A multi-institutional planning team headed by Coast Development Authority (CDA) in Kenya initiated an Integrated Coastal Area Management (ICAM) process in 1994 on a pilot study site of Nyali- ... -
Geodata and Geoinformatics
(2013)Understanding the characteristics of and possibilities in using geodata is premised on proper comprehension of the underlying concepts of space, time and scale, contextualized within the Earth’s framework. Although these ... -
Geodetic Measurements to investigate the crystal movements in the Kenya Rift System
(1988)Forward numerical models are used to investigate the effect of deformation regime on the development of olivine lattice-preferred orientations (LPO) and associated seismic anisotropy within continental deformation zones. ... -
Geodetic models for monitoring crustal deformation along the African Rift System
(2008)Continental rupture models emphasize the role of faults in extensional strain accommodation; extension by dyke intrusion is commonly overlooked. A major rifting episode that began in 2005 September in the Afar depression ... -
Geomatics in the Third Millennium
(1999)The theme of the AfricaGEO 2011 is “Developing Geomatics for Africa”, with an emphasis on the development of Geomatics (as an industry / technology) in the African context. This brings up technological development, as well ... -
Geometric constants in plain cross-bored cylinders
(Dept. of Mech. Eng., University of Nairobi, Kenya, 2003)A three-dimensional FEM computer program was developed to establish the stress distributions and SCFs in thick walled cylinders with flush and nonprotruding plain cross bores under internal pressure. The displacement ... -
Geometric quality enhancement of legacy graphical cadastral datasets through thin plate splines transformation
(Maney PublishingGeospatial and Space Technology, University of Nairobi, 2012)In some parts of the world, mainly developing countries, analogue graphical cadastral datasets are still being used, despite the fact that they usually contain large and differential positional distortions. This is because ... -
Geostatistical Modelling of a High Background Radiation Area Geothermal Field Matrix Trace Elements:
(1998)Estimating spatial variability of trace geothermal signatures is an important factor is evaluating the geothermal field potential. It is expected that a particular geothermal feature (hot spring, fumarole, geyser, etc.) ...
