models of living in cities needs planning for land use. those who have planned for the cities have studied land use to present a model for the construction of cities. change of land use, is the main concern today. the factors which affect the change in land use can be divided into three main groups: legal factors, economical factors and population. out of these three factors, population has bee...

In this paper, we propose a method which facilitates the way a modeler or manager can include subjective information (such as judgment or intuition) into a choice model. The major contribution and focus of this research is on the way this prior information can be incorporated in a logit model. An important advantage of our approach is that, unlike the standard Bayesian approach, the prior infor...

As a local environmental issue with global importance, land use/land cover change (LUCC) has always been one of the key issues in geography and environmental studies with the expansion of regional case studies. While most of LUCC studies in China have focused on urban land use change, meanwhile, compared with the rapid change of urban land use in the coastal areas of eastern China, slow but dis...

O Plano de Estruturação Urbana (PEU) Campo Grande, no município do Rio Janeiro, estabelece diretrizes para o uso e a ocupação solo define parâmetros que ajudam conter expansão urbana em direção às unidades conservação - APA Gericinó/Mendanha Parque Estadual da Pedra Branca (PEPB). bairro representa uma importante centralidade econômica, atraindo pessoas, infraestruturas serviços, além PEPB ser ...

Land use change not only directly influences carbon storage in terrestrial ecosystems but can also cause energy-related carbon emissions. This study examined spatiotemporal land use change across Jiangsu Province, China; calculated vegetation carbon storage loss caused by land use change and energy-related carbon emissions; analysed the relationship among land use change, carbon emissions and s...

The spatial and temporal characteristics and driving factors analysis of regional land use are the core scientific problems in the research of ecological environment and human sustainable development. It is also an important basis for the government to formulate land management policy. Based on the land use maps of 2000, 2005, 2010 and 2015, this article analyzed the spatiotemporal pattern of l...

this research was conducted to study the effect of land use change on some physical fractionation component of organic matter and some of its quality factors. therefore, two uncultivated and cultivated (such as rotational cropping and sugarcane) were selected in khuzestan province. disturbed and undisturbed soils were sampled from 0-30 and 30-60 cm depths. total n, oc, dispersible clay (dc), ag...

Modeling land-use change is a prerequisite to understanding the complexity of land-usechange patterns. This paper presents a novel method to model urban land-use change using support-vector machines (SVMs), a new generation of machine learning algorithms used in classification and regression domains. An SVM modeling framework has been developed to analyze land-use change in relation to various ...

Pressure on land resources is expected to increase as global population continues to climb and the world becomes more affluent, swelling the demand for food. Changing climate may exert additional pressures on natural lands as present-day productive regions may shift, or soil quality may degrade, and the recent rise in demand for biofuels increases competition with edible crops for arable land. ...
