This paper describes the structure of the LAND USE SCANNER model, a GIS based model developed to generate spatial forecasts for various types of land use for a large number of grids. The model basically allocates land according to bid prices for various types of land use. The possibility of government intervention in land use is taken into account among others by adding aggregate constraints. T...

Traditional concepts and beliefs have shaped the thinking of most Māori, and Māori knowledge still resonates strongly within contemporary Māori society. Cultural values therefore reflect both the long history and relationship tangata whenua (people of the lan...

Land capability classification (LCC) of a soil map unit is sought for sustainable use, management and conservation practices. High speed, high precision and simple generating of rules by machine learning algorithms can be utilized to construct pre-defined rules for LCC of soil map units in developing decision support systems for land use planning of an area. Decision tree (DT) is one of the mos...

Land tenure issues such as tenure forms and its allocation and land acquisition procedure are not extensively considered in hydropower development. As a result hydropower projects are not sustainable. The main aim of the study is to find the role of land tenure in hydropower development. Desk study is carried out and is followed by the scientific literature review. The study reveals that the co...
