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...

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) ...

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...

land-use planning is a science that determines the type optimum of land-use through studying the ecological characteristics of the land as well as its socio-economic structure. the primary objective of this study is to evaluate the land-use and natural resources for future sustainable land planning using gis. in this study, the makhdoom’s systematic method was used to analyze the ecological and...

Background & objectives: The disposal of hazardous waste in the environment, which is usually done by burying it in a special landfill, requires a set of environmental standards and special economic, social and managerial considerations. Improper landfills can have negative health, economic, and environmental effects. In this regard, the present study seeks to find a suitable landfill for speci...

in recent years, due to absence of integrated watershed management in most regions, natural resources have witnessed numerous damages with severe floods as one of its consequences which further leads to economic, social and environmental damages. presently, there is no optimal utilization of land in most watersheds hence no optimal model matching with facilities and objectives is used in the wa...
