Rapid urbanization influences the landscape pattern of impervious surfaces, and potentially affects surface water quality. Using ArcGIS Fragstats, this study analyzed temporal change surfaces in Shanghai over past 45 years, its driving forces impact on quality were also analyzed. The results show that both low high showed different degrees expansion, as a result, pervious area reduced by 40.1% ...

some soil physical and chemical characteristics were analyzed in order to reveal the relationship between forest soils and regeneration patches. gorazbon district of kheyrud was selected as a case study for the research area. all regeneration patches were recorded using gps device. to assess the spatial structure and to quantify the metrics of regeneration patches, analyzing of landscape metric...

without doubt is one important aspects of sustainable forest management the continuing forest regeneration. identify and determine is effective dispersal and distribution pattern of regeneration patches in various types of forest and its evolution, in maintaining biodiversity in natural ecosystems. purpose was chosen of gorazbon district kheyrod forest for study, all patches regeneration were l...

This study modeled the urban growth in the Greater Cairo Region (GCR), one of the fastest growing mega cities in the world, using remote sensing data and ancillary data. Three land use land cover (LULC) maps (1984, 2003 and 2014) were produced from satellite images by using Support Vector Machines (SVM). Then, land cover changes were detected by applying a high level mapping technique that comb...

Abstract Extensive mining operations, deforestation, jhumming, and soil erosion coupled with population stress in the study area have put an adverse effect on its forest resources. This investigates transition cover classes fragmentation Jaiñtia Hills District of Meghalaya (India). Satellite data (multispectral images from Landsat 5 8) for 1995, 2001, 2007, 2015 were classified using supervised...

Cellular Landscapes. Many ABM/LUCC researchers begin by developing models that operate over an abstract landscape, even when their longer-term goals include application to real-world landscapes. Roles for abstract ABM/LUCC models are discussed by Parker and colleagues (Parker, Berger, and Manson 2002 a,b; Parker, Manson, and Berger 2002; Parker et al. 2003), and the advantages of a progression ...

Urbanization is a critical factor affecting the ecological and environmental balance of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), the most populous metropolitan area in Canada, in the past three decades. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the relationship between landscape change and population increase patterns as well as to evaluate ecological impacts of urbanization in the GTA.Multi-temporal re...

Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’nin önemli bir turizm ve tarımsal üretim alanı olan Antalya ili Kaş ilçesinde 2000 2020 yılları arasında alan kullanım / arazi örtüsünde (AKAÖ) meydana gelen değişim dönüşümlerin tespit edilmesidir. Çalışmada tarihli Landsat 7 ETM+ 8 OLI uydu görüntüleri kullanılarak, ArcGIS 10.5 yazılımında elle sayılaşlaştırma yöntemi ile AKAÖ haritaları elde edilmiştir. tespitinde...
