There are various methods and models for land evaluation. These methods are classified according to the number of used resources. The best resources capabilities or potentials and land use can be found by analyzing one of the main resources, in the lands close relations to ecologic resources exist. Soil has a great potential for introducing the studied region specifications. Hence, it cha...

The green tract of land is one of the significant factors for urban planning and urban management to improve and conserve the urban environment. Planning the green tracts is often carried out as a part of land use strategy based on relation to neighborhood, their scale, functions, and locational condition. On the other hand, a vegetation-covered area is a considerable focus of investigation for...

study of soil quality indicators were considered as a useful method in the land use management. changing the land use affect soil hydrological processes such as water infiltration process. spatial variation of water infiltration in soil plays a very important role in hydrologic processes. variability of this process is affected by the inherent and non-inherent characters of the lands. in order ...

human activities induced changes in land cover/use have extensive impacts on the landscape. in recent years, these changes had an increasingly growth due to irrational use of the natural resources in iran. hence, considering the negative effects of the inappropriate use of land and land-use change, understanding of the landscape changes over time is necessary to planning and implementation of s...

the present study aims to provide a solution to optimize land use through multi-objective linear programming, and to solve the conflicts generated in the process using game theory, in two cities of gorgan and kurdkoy, iran. the primary land use planning was completed for seven land use through multi-criteria evaluation and then a first allocation was implanted using mola. in the secondary land ...
