in urban areas the world over the past several decades was associated with an exponential growth of population, which led to widespread changes in land use urban and land cover. therefore, in this study, the daily temperature data from 1951 to 2010 at the synoptic station shiraz 60-year period were reviewed. then the average daily temperature average was five days into quintile. results of clus...

This thesis examines, both theoretically and empirically, the effects of land supply restriction on housing price and housing production. The analysis is conducted in the context of a closed city, where any increase in population must be accommodated within the market. The theoretical part of the analysis extends the urban spatial theory by including natural and contrived land supply restrictio...

The Land Administration Domain Model (LADM) is one of the first ISO spatial domain standards, and has been proven one of the best candidates for unambiguously representing 3D Rights, Restrictions and Responsibilities. Consequently, multiple LADM-based country profile implementations have been developed since the approval of LADM as an ISO standard; however, there is still a gap for technical im...

An important government activity of all nation states is building and maintaining a land administration system (LAS) with the primary objective of supporting an efficient and effective land market. This includes cadastral surveys to identify and subdivide land, land registry systems to support simple land trading (buying, selling, mortgaging and leasing land) and land information systems to fac...

Land administration systems, and particularly their central cadastral components, are an important infrastructure which facilitates the implementation of land use policies. While most land administration systems traditionally have a primary objective of supporting the operation of land markets, they are increasingly evolving into a broader land information infrastructure which supports economic...

■ Abstract We highlight the complexity of land-use/cover change and propose a framework for a more general understanding of the issue, with emphasis on tropical regions. The review summarizes recent estimates on changes in cropland, agricultural intensification, tropical deforestation, pasture expansion, and urbanization and identifies the still unmeasured land-cover changes. Climate-driven lan...
