Spatial optimization for land use planning: Opportunities and challenges

development of a spatial multi objective optimization model for intensive energy industries land use planning

land use planning is the process of allocating different land uses and activities to the special units of land. so we face with two problems of assigning kind of activity and location of it. by considering the role of industries in development, employment and environment, we consider industrial and especially intensive energy industries planning as a multi objective optimization problem. in thi...

Compactness for Regionalization and its Application in Land-Use Planning

spatial analysis and urban land use planning in dogonbadan (gachsaran)

one of the important problems in the urban development process in the world has been land use and planning for urban sustainability. considering this important issue, this study investigates spatial analysis and urban land use planning in dogonbadan. this research is applied- analytical and by applying land extension index and hensen model intends to study and plan urban land use in this city. ...

Comparison of Spatial Compactness Evaluation Methods for Simple Genetic Algorithm Based Land Use Planning Optimization Problem

As one of the most important objectives for land use planning towards sustainability, the compactness could not only decrease threat to species survivability and the energy consumption, but also improve the accessibility of city and the social equity towards sustainability et al. Although there have existed several methods to evaluate compactness, the spatial autocorrelation methods have not be...

Developing a Cell-Based Spatial Optimization Model for Land-Use Patterns Planning

This study developed a cell-based spatial optimization model compatible with the ArcGIS platform, termed Dynamically Dimensioned Search Landscape Optimization Planning model (DDSLOP), for landscape planning. The development of the proposed model was based on the Dynamically Dimensioned Search Algorithm, which can efficiently find an optimal global solution within the massive solution space inhe...
