Spatial Modelling of Air Pollution in Urban Areas withGIS: A Case Study on Integrated Database Development L. Matejicek Institute for Environmental Studies, Charles University, Prague, 128 01, Czech Republic (lmatejic@mbox.cesnet.cz) Abstract: A wide range of data collected by monitoring systems and by mathematical and physical modelling can be managed in the frame of spatial models developed in the GIS. In addition to data management and standard environmental analysis of air pollution, data from remote sensing (aerial and satellite images) can extend all the data sets. In spite of that simulation of air pollutant distribution is carried out by standalone computer systems, the spatial database in the frame of the GIS is used to support decision-making processes in a more efficient way. Mostly, data are included in the map layers as attributes. Other map layers are carried out by the methods of spatial interpolation, raster algebra and case oriented analysis. A series of extensions is built in the GIS to adapt its functionality. As examples, the spatial models of the flat urban area and the street canyon with extensive traffic polluted with NOx are constructed. Different scales of the spatial models require variant methods of construction, data management and spatial data sources. The measurement of NOx and O3 by the automatic monitoring system and data from the differential absorption LIDAR are used for investigation of air pollution. Spatial data contain digital maps of both the areas complemented by digital elevation models. Environmental analyses represent spatial interpolations of air pollution that are displayed in horizontal and vertical plains. Case oriented analyses are mostly focused on risk assessment methods. Finally, the LIDAR monitoring results and the results obtained by modelling and spatial analyses are discussed in the context of environmental management of the urban areas. The spatial models and their extensions are developed in the frame of the E
