{"name": "Voxel-Based Urban Microclimate Engine (VUME)", "package_name": "voxcity", "description": "VUME (Voxel-Based Urban Microclimate Engine) is a QGIS plugin designed to transform urban spatial data into microclimate intelligence using voxel-based modeling.\nIt enables advanced analysis of thermal comfort, solar exposure, sky view factor, green visibility, and shading dynamics derived from urban morphology, terrain, and vegetation structure.\n\nThe plugin integrates spatial modeling and analytical visualization into a unified workflow for urban microclimate assessment and planning decision support.\n\nIt includes:\n1. Voxel-Based Urban Analyzer for generating microclimate indicators from spatial datasets.\n2. Interactive Web Viewer for 3D exploration of urban form, terrain, and environmental indicators.\n3. Analytical Outputs including physical-unit indicators such as SVF, GVI, GHI, and shadow metrics.", "about": "VUME provides a lightweight yet powerful framework for urban microclimate analysis by bridging voxel-based spatial modeling with planning-oriented decision support.\nThe system enables proxy-based environmental intelligence derived from commonly available GIS datasets, supporting applications in urban planning, climate-sensitive design, and spatial policy evaluation.\n\nConceptually inspired by the voxel-based urban modeling framework introduced in VoxCity (Fujiwara et al., 2026), and extended toward urban microclimate intelligence, spatial analytics, and decision-support systems.", "homepage": "https://github.com/firmanaf/VUME", "repository": "https://github.com/firmanaf/VUME", "tracker": "https://github.com/firmanaf/VUME/issues", "author": "Firman Afrianto, Maya Safira", "tags": ["spatial analysis", "urban planning", "urban morphology", "green view index", "thermal comfort", "sky view factor", "urban microclimate", "solar radiation", "climate analytics", "voxel modeling"], "downloads": 607, "latest_version": "1.0.4", "versions": [{"version": "1.0.4", "experimental": false, "qgis_min": "3.0.0", "qgis_max": "3.99.0", "downloads": 461, "uploaded_by": "firmanafrianto", "upload_datetime": "2026-04-25T19:21:00.307173"}, {"version": "1.0.3", "experimental": false, "qgis_min": "3.0.0", "qgis_max": "3.99.0", "downloads": 146, "uploaded_by": "firmanafrianto", "upload_datetime": "2026-04-22T02:22:25.391741"}]}
