with the increase in population and consequent increasing needs of society, land use planning is of particular importance. land use planning due to being involved with several conflicting aims, multi- objective evolutionary algorithm would be a useful tool to solve land use planning. but use of these algorithms should be examined according to the type of issues. in the study, addition to introd...

sustainable exploitation of land resources is directly affected by considering soil quality which finally will also conclude environmental protection. therefore, assessing different soil quality aspects which are sensitive to various land management practices seems too important. in this study, some selected soil quality indicators have been compared in five land use systems including untouched...

landscape characteristics and land use patterns of watershed demonstrate extension, distribution, density and abundance of human interference. these factors can affect water quality of adjacent aquatic systems within a watershed. land use changes have caused various environmental problems for zayandehroud river,turned it as a sink of pollutant. therefore this is investigated that how would land...

natural aquifer vulnerability can be defined as reaching pollution to groundwater and the possibility to propogate in it after land contamination. this is a relative specification, with no dimension and cannot be measured; which it is not only depended on aquifer specification but also on geological and hydrological characteristics of the aquifer of the region. varieties of methods have been de...

introduction because of expansion of agricultural activities and excessive use of chemical fertilizers and location of municipal and industrial wastewater of andimeshk, it is possible for this aquifer to be polluted. therefore, the aim of present study is to assess the aquifer vulnerability of andimeshk plain and recognition of sensitive areas against pollution which this work can be conducted ...
