Oil palm plantations are still believed to be the principal reason of primary forests' damages in Southeast Asia. To verify this accusation, a survey four private oil was carried out West Kalimantan Province Indonesia, identify history land status, cover types and use prior conversion these plantations. The research conducted using overlay maps Business Permit with Consensus-based Forest Land U...

this interdisciplinary paper aims at guangzhou’s development and its effects on surface andgroundwater quality taking the new city axis as an example. qualitative morphological analyses, field mappings, interviews and water sampling of standard in-situ and various hydrochemical parameters were conducted between 2007 and 2009 in order to examine the following research questions: which types of l...

Problem statement: It is an important task to detect land cover changes from remotely sensed data for environmental monitoring. Although there are some applications of visual textures to the land use, they are limited to a few land cover categories with the application of one texture measure. Since land cover types are complex and often the integration of various objects, applying one texture m...

this study emphasized the ability of genetic algorithm and cellular automate to simulate urban land use changes by integrating adaptive model. the most important part of modeling is to define transition rules.  in this research, a cellular automata model in dinamica ego software was used coupled with genetic algorithm. according to disability of the software for manipulating large number of var...

the growing population and increasing socio-economic necessitiescreates a pressure on land use/land cover. nowadays, land use change detection using remote sensing data provides quantitative and timely information for management and evaluation of natural resources. this study investigates the land use changes in part of hableh rood watershed of iran using landsat 7 and 8 (sensor etm+ and oli) i...

land-use planning is a science that determines the type optimum of land-use through studying the ecological characteristics of the land as well as its socio-economic structure. the primary objective of this study is to evaluate the land-use and natural resources for future sustainable land planning using gis. in this study, the makhdoom’s systematic method was used to analyze the ecological and...

In recent years, land use upstream of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) has changed significantly because of the TGR project. In this study, the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model was examined for its ability to assess relationships between land use changes and nonpoint pollutant indexes upstream of the TGR. Results indicated that the SWAT model, calibrated with the adjusted parameters,...

This study investigates the suitability of land use variables in predicting the number of child pedestrian casualties; a subject of concern in Great Britain despite sustained improvements in road safety over the past decade. The relationship between land use and transport is used to establish a link between land use and child pedestrian travel; trip attractors and generators are considered as v...

the aim of this study is to investigate underground water quality parameters in gorganrud river basin and their connection with aboveground conditions using gis and artificial neural networks. in order to prepare a land use map of the area, liss iii image of irs satellite of the year 2008 was used in a maximum likelihood classification. the results revealed that there was a significant correlat...
