Knowledge about long-term land cover/use changes is essential for evaluating and predicting their consequent problems by urban managers and policymakers. Remote sensing with landscape metrics is an effective tool for monitoring these changes in urban cores and their peripheral areas. During the recent decades, industrial and urban growth, and immigration of people into Isfahan metropolitan area...

نواحی شهری مراکز اصلی رشد اقتصادی، اجتماعی و سیاسی در هر کشوری هستند که خود را به عنوان جذاب ترین نقاط برای ایجاد ثروت، کار، خلاقیت و نوآوری اثبات کرده اند.ظهور معماری منظر بر اساس رابطه ای متقابل میان انسان و محیط است که بر اساس مجموعه ای از اصول و منطق شکل گرفته و تداوم پیدا کرده است و بر پایه زیبایی، خوانایی، عملکرد و هویت می یابند.دراین میان تاثیر منظر برکیفیت زندگی شهری یکی از مهمترین حوزه...

Land use change is certainly the most important factor that affects the conservation of natural ecosystems, resulting the conversion of natural lands such as forests and pastures into agricultural, industrial and urban areas. Despite numerous studies investigating landscape patterns due to land use change, the driving forces of landscape change has been less studied in Iran. In this study, Arti...

The sensitivity of landscape metrics to the scale effect is one of the most challenging issues in landscape ecology and quantification of land use spatial patterns. In this study, fractal dimension was employed to assess the effect of scale on the sensitivity of landscape metric in the north of Iran (around Sari) as the case study. Land use/ cover maps were derived from Landsat-8 (OLI sensor) i...

In this paper, we propose a quantitative indicator for measuring and ranking real estate from the perspective of the surrounding landscape by integrating the building information model (BIM) and the three-dimensional geospatial information system (3DGIS) based on the AHP method. The landscape is one of the qualitative variables which it's measuring and quantifying is a complex task. In previous...
