Welcome

Welcome to the Remote Sensing Learning Diary! This is where I will update my progress in learning how to analyse and make use of remote sensing data!

About me

Me at Karatsu, Saga, Japan during a first real trip on a motorcycle after I got my license. This place has the best squids in the world.

My name is Soki Kimura, a master’s student at the Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis at University College London.

I am interested in bridging the architectural design-based and the data-oriented approach of urban planning and design. I have experience as a planner / civil engineer in the public sector in Japan, before commencing the master’s course in London.

My interest toward cities probably started building up playing SimCity 4 - maybe when I was 7 years old. Building cities and looking at how well it was performing, zoning areas and trying to make private development happen, all of that topped up with pleasing music was my first interaction with spatial data.

Never had I imagined I will still be playing around with spatial data 20 years later!

I am on LinkedIn!

About this website

This is the learning diary for the CASA0023 Remote Sensing Cities and Environment module led by Dr. Andy Maclachlan.

I will summarise the content of each week throughout the module, followed by few papers that apply the methodology. I will make personal reflections for each week’s content, trying as much as I can to relate to my personal experience or knowledge.

How this website is made

This website was rendered using Quarto enabling us to create websites from RStudio environments! I have used this for creating assignment reports, and I am amazed how you can easily create websites from a markdown document.
