Towards a sustainable new state capital (IKN): sustainable zoning plan formulation based on quantitative zoning approach

A new approach for sustainable supplier selection

Recently, sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) has become one of the important subjects in the industry and academia. Supplier selection, as a strategic decision, plays a significant role in SSCM. Researchers use different multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods to evaluate and select sustainable suppliers. In the previous studies, evaluation is solely based on the desirable feature...

Towards “A Theory of Spectrum Zoning”

Spectrum zoning is the problem faced by regulators: how to allocate different bands to different rules for radio operation. This problem has largely fallen through the cracks since to the extent that they even recognize the problem’s existence, traditional communities have viewed this as “somebody else’s problem.” Engineers/information-theorists assume that economists/lawyers will handle this a...

Geo-environmental zoning using physiographic compartmentalization: a proposal for supporting sustainable decision-making.

The geo-environmental zoning represents an important strategy in the territorial management. However, it requires a logical and structured procedure. Therefore, an approach using physiographic compartmentalization is proposed and applied as case study in a region covered by the topographic maps of São José dos Campos and Jacareí, Brazil. This region has great geological and geomorphological pec...

Inclusionary Zoning: New Ways Forward

Zoning based Devanagari Character Recognition

In character recognition, zoning based feature extraction is one of the most popular methods. The character image is divided into predefined number of zones and a feature is computed from each of these zones. Usually, this feature is based on the pattern (black) pixels contained in that zone. Some of such features are average pixel density, sum squared distance, histogram. But in such features,...
