the present study aims to simulate the spatial pattern of land use change in lisar protected area,iran. land cover maps for 1989, 2000, and 2007 were depicted using tm, etm+, and irs liss-iii images ofthe area at stake. images were classified using a merge of unsupervised and supervised classification. camarkov model was used to predict land cover maps as a top-down approach in investigating la...

This paper presents research results on the dasymetric mapping method, the methodology adopted and a Dasymetric Population Density Map of the Northeastern Part of Poland. After studying certain published dasymetric mapping methods, a decision was made to start from the binary dasymetric procedure as described by Langdorf and Unwin (1994) in order to eliminate unpopulated regions. The CORINE Lan...

Urban land use spatial layout model research has been suffered from static model to dynamical model. The traditional model and theory like static, macroscopic or determinate model sometimes made the urbanize land use change immoderate simplify. The non-linear effect of microcosmic and macroscopical urban agent were embodied in the decision-making process of urban land use planning. In this pape...

Since the Land Administration Bureau was established in 1986, China has carried out the national land-use planning twice, of which the first was focused on "serving for social and economic development", and the second converted to “protecting arable land". At present a new round of land-use planning is ongoing (2005-2020), but the aims and requirements are even more and higher(Zheng Weiyuan,200...

guaranty of security of juridical act about lands is an important difficulty in every country. disregarding the independence of land registration system from the system of civil law –in enactment, interpretation and amendment of the land registration rules- and disregarding bases and functions of land registration system has resulted in some mistakes made by judicial doctrine and precedent in o...

The post-Soviet land reforms that allowed private ownership of land in Russia and Ukraine, and the recent rise in global interest for land resources have made the fertile land of these countries an object for investment and a cause of disputes among land investors, peasants, and government. In similar circumstances in other agricultural countries, social movements rose to the defense of rural d...

We present power law statistics on land markets, which no other studies have so far done. We analyze a database of the assessed value of land that is officially monitored and is made public by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Government of Japan. This is the largest database of Japan’s land prices consisting of approximately 30,000 points for each year of a 6-year period (1995...

Land registration and cadastral systems exist in great variety. This paper describes the rich history of Zambian land tenure systems and discusses the present land tenure system. Zambia has a dual land tenure system: customary tenure and formal title registration. In the customary system the chiefs regulate the allocation of the land. They rule with the consent of their people. This system is c...
