Land, a non-renewable resource, is central to all primary production systems. The geospatial technology of Remote Sensing and GIS holds the potential for timely and cost – effective assessment of natural resources. The techniques have been used extensively in the tropics for generating valuable information about various surface features of the earth. Therefore, we have used Remote Sensing and G...

Urban regions are complicated functional systems that closely associated with and reshaped by human activities. The propagation of online geographic information-sharing platforms mobile devices equipped the Global Positioning System (GPS) greatly proliferates proximate sensing images taken near or on ground at a close distance to urban targets. Studies leveraging have demonstrated great potenti...

mixed land use includes various land uses which are adjacent to each other and linked together to accommodate either horizontal or vertical segments adjacent land and within a building to coexistence. recent urban planning theories, emphasizing on several principles that make the mix use development is one of these principles. mixed land use effects on travel demands and urban transportation ef...

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...
