planners have regarded understanding urban use per capita since the beginning of new thinking of urban development. this was stared with its pragmatics toward primary comprehensive urban plans and became a source for urban development plans that have tried to adapt per capita and standards with country’s conditions. iran's supreme council for planning and architecture, determined standards...

soil organic carbon has been the most important soil quality measurement factors and has intense relation with soil physical, chemical and biological characteristics. organic matter and its components are important factors of soil aggregates constitution and stability and play significant role in its structure.so, this research has been done for achieving this purpose. this area is arounding sa...

land use planning, refers to how to use, distribute and protect the land. this type of planning can be considered from different perspectives, such as sustainable development perspective view is one of important land use views. in this paper we have tried to study and evaluate the land use change of maragheh city from sustainable development perspective, and study the harmony or disharmony with...

land use may be regarded as one of the most important factors affecting theenvironment with respect to human activities. so far, destroying the rangelands andchanging them into the waste lands and poor rangelands has been proposed as the mostsignificant variations of land use done by human beings. this paper has been conducted toevaluate the variations of vegetation percentage and land uses in ...

many investigations have demonstrated that arid regions display ideal conditions for remote sensing applications such as, land cover/land use detection. the aim of this study was to evaluate the capability of thematic mapper (tm) thermal band in land cover/land use mapping in the ardakan region of yazd province, an area of desert with severe salinity conditions, and the mook region in the f...

the growing population and increasing socio-economic necessities creates 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) ...

We assessed two dimensions of stream connectivity: longitudinal (between forest patches along the stream) and lateral (riparian vegetation), using macroinvertebrate assemblages as bioindicators. Sites representing different land-uses were sampled in a lowland basin that holds a mosaic of protected areas. Land-use analysis, forest successional stages and riparian zone widths were calculated by t...

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...
