For an optimum use of natural resources in the sustainable development trend, there is a need to identify ecological resources in the shortest period of time and minimum possible cost. In this article, we aimed Management ecosystem by Assessment of plant covers changes at Taleghan Township in a twenty year period. Percentage of landscape and number of patch were among the metrics that were calc...

In Western Europe, recreational amenity is presented as an important cultural ecosystem service that, along with other values, helps justify policies to conserve biodiversity. However, whether recreational use by the public is enhanced at protected areas designated for nature conservation is unknown. This is the first study to model outdoor recreation at a national scale, examining habitat pref...

the kind of land use and intensity of its change is considered as important desertification indices in different models. land use change is one of the main anthropogenic factors in the desertification. the current research was carried out around imam khomeini airport, with an area of 32000 km2, in order to evaluate mentioned area's land use changes effects during 1955-2003 on desertification. t...

Abstract Land availability in the capital of Indonesia, Jakarta, is dwindling. However, its population growing. This growth affects density and activity to rising, as well need for land, especially housing purposes. Moreover, land prices are also escalated over time. Hence, optimize available utilization value, it necessary find best designation produce highest value. The Highest Best Use Analy...

The study aimed to determine the impact of sound land use management to the runoff in Kabuntalan, Maguindanao in Tamontaka river basin. This was done through simulation and the comparison of the three land cover scenarios such as 2015 land cover, 2025 projected land cover and desired land use to determine its difference in terms of runoff. Hydrologic Engineering Center-Hydrologic Modeling Syste...

in the present research land use changes modeling in the urmia city is considered in order to detect changes in agricultural lands. in this regard, landsat satellite images were used and then the object base processing satellite images was performed by applying the process segmentation and in the next stage, the optimization of scale segmentation and image analysis to its constituent elements, ...
