natural hazards in the form of floods, quakes, cyclones, and the like have existed since the earth has come to being. in recent decades, in spite of scientific and technological developments in forecasting incidents, building construction and crisis management have imposed heavy expenses on human societies. the importance of many natural hazards is so great that to predict the very occurrence a...

urban expansion model (uem) was adapted to simulate urbanization which implements geospatial information systems (gis), artificial neural networks (anns) and remote sensing (rs). two satellite imageries with specific time interval, socio-economic and environmental variables have been employed in order to simulate urban expansion. socio-economic and environmental variables were used as inputs wh...

objective: in addition to issues such as environment, transportation, safely and urban planning, one of the most important factors  having increasingly influence on urban organizing factors is urban management. methods: there are so many issues in cities that for its solving, urban management factor is necessary. complexity and  extensiveness of urban issue and its  development and growth, led ...

Sensing systems for urban deployments are still in their infancy. An interesting unresolved issue is the precise role assumed by people within such systems. This issue has significant implications on where the complexity and main challenges in building urban sensing system reside. We discuss the two endpoints of the spectrum of conscious human involvement, namely participatory sensing and oppor...
