This paper investigates how demographic (socioeconomic) and land-use (physical and environmental) data can be integrated within a decision support framework to formulate and evaluate land-use planning scenarios. A case-study approach is undertaken with land-use planning scenarios for a rapidly growing coastal area in Australia, the Shire of Hervey Bay. The town and surrounding area require care...

The objective of this research was to determine the best model and compare performances in terms of producing landuse maps from six supervised classification algorithms. As a result, different algorithms such as the minimum distance ofmean (MDM), Mahalanobis distance (MD), maximum likelihood (ML), artificial neural network (ANN), spectral anglemapper (SAM), and support vector machine (SVM) were...

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...

generally, alluvial basins of arid and semiarid zones are the places with excessive groundwater withdrawal, and also they have a high potential for land subsidence. excessive groundwater withdrawals have caused severe land subsidence in tehran, iran. at present, the maximum land subsidence rate is 36 cm/year, covering an area of nearly 530 km2. in the 2000s, as a result of economic and populati...

T he global surface temperature record is constructed by blending sea surface temperature (SST) with air temperature over land and ice (see also section S1 of the supplement , which is available online at http://dx.doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-15-00251.2). Both SST and land air temperature require adjustments to account for changes in, for example, depth or height of measurement, instrumentation, and...

As a major component of the water budget of a wetland, evaporation has proven difficult to measure evapotranspiration accurately. This paper developed a scheme to assess actual evapotranspiration (ETa) across a range of land uses in Nansi Lake Wetland, China, using a remote sensing technique and the Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land (SEBAL) model. The estimation of pixel-scaled ETa was ...

Describing urban terrain and land use/land cover (LULC) characteristics accurately is an essential element in environmental modeling, assessment and management. Urban terrain and LULC information are especially important in meteorological modeling applications, such as simulations of atmospheric flow over cities, defining surface energy budgets, and fate and transport studies of urban contamina...

With the rapid progress of China’s urbanization, research on the automatic detection of land-use patterns in Chinese cities is of substantial importance. Deep learning is an effective method to extract image features. To take advantage of the deep-learning method in detecting urban land-use patterns, we applied a transfer-learning-based remote-sensing image approach to extract and classify feat...
