risk assessment of vegetation degradation using gis

assessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...

Risk assessment of a dam-break using GIS technology.

Flood disasters cause massive loss of human lives and immense damage to the infrastructure and economic activities, not only in Turkey but also all over the world. Governments consider several long-term and short-term precautions for flood control. The numerical simulation of dam-break problems could be accomplished with geographic information systems and innovation maps. Spread of the flood wa...

Qualitative Risk Assessment of Gas Pipelines by Using of Indexing System Method in GIS environment

Nowadays the urbanization is developing rapidly, and it leads to growing demand for gas; which resulted in denser pipeline network, by the following increase in the pipeline network congestion, accidents  will become inevitable. So Pipelines are a remarkable source of hazard for their adjacent society. Usually Indexing system method is used for pipe line risk assessment. This method assesses ri...

Evaluation of Vegetation Patch Connectivity Using Remote Sensing and Gis

The UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) Agenda 21 issue for sustainable development emphasizes on an integrated approach for the maintenance and management of land resources. Conservation of biodiversity has become an important environmental issue after the UNCED. Habitat fragmentation caused by the sprawl of urban development is becoming one of the major environmental problems...

Assessment of land degradation using time series trend analysis of vegetation indictors in Otindag Sandy land

Land condition assessment is a basic prerequisite for finding the degradation of a territory, which might lead to desertification under climatic and human pressures. The temporal change in vegetation productivity is a key indicator of land degradation. In this paper, taking the Otindag Sandy Land as a case, the mean normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI_a), net primary production (NPP) a...
