SPATIO-TEMPORAL ANALYSIS OF LAND COVER CHANGES OF DHAKA CITY IN BANGLADESH

Simulating Land Cover Changes and Their Impacts on Land Surface Temperature in Dhaka, Bangladesh

Despite research that has been conducted elsewhere, little is known, to-date, about land cover dynamics and their impacts on land surface temperature (LST) in fast growing mega cities of developing countries. Landsat satellite images of 1989, 1999, and 2009 of Dhaka Metropolitan (DMP) area were used for analysis. This study first identified patterns of land cover changes between the periods and...

Spatio-temporal analysis of snow cover in Iran based on topographic characteristics

Spatio-Temporal Parameters' Changes in Gait of Male Elderly Subjects

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare spatio-temporal gait parameters between elderly and young male subjects. Methods & Materials: 57 able-bodied elderly (72±5.5 years) and 57 healthy young (25±8.5 years) subjects participated in this study. A four segment model consist of trunk, hip, shank, and foot with 10 reflective markers were used to define lower limbs. Kinematic data c...

Spatio-temporal Land Use/land Cover Analysis of Murree Using Remote Sensing and Gis

1 Land use land cover (LULC) patterns are significantly effecting the urban/rural spaces in the encompassing areas. Murree being tourist resort is always under pressure of tourists from all over the country. The population increase in peak season of tourism in summer season and extreme winter, causes a tremendous growth and expansion of urban area of Murree. So a relic of blue pine forest and C...

Integrated simulation of spatio-temporal dynamics for developing scenarios of land-use and land-cover changes around Maduganga estuary 114 6 INTEGRATED SIMULATION OF SPATIO-TEMPORAL DYNAMICS FOR DEVELOPING SCENARIOS OF LAND-USE AND LAND-COVER CHANGES AROUND MADUGANGA ESTUARY

The previous chapters have shown the complexity of the interplay between socioeconomic and biophysical factors including human decision making, when attempting to model LUCC in an integrated way. This complexity implies further aspects such as uncertainty and contingency, and thus makes it impossible to develop accurate predictions about the future development of human-influenced landscapes (Pe...
