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 ...

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) ...

The rapid growth in urban population is seen to create a need for the development of more urban infrastructures. In order to meet this need, natural surfaces such as vegetation are been replaced with non-vegetated surfaces such as asphalt and bricks which has the ability to absorb heat and release it later. This change in land cover is seen to increase the land surface temperature. Previous stu...

The Musi Hydropower-Plant catchment area is susceptible to soil erosion and sedimentation. Therefore, this research aimed predict land use cover changes (LULCC) as well their impact on sedimentation in the area. prediction of LULCC was calculated using Land Change Modeler module IDRISI Terrset, while were estimated with Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) Sediment Delivery Ratio (SDR) ...

Research on the uncertainty of Land Use Cover Change (LUCC) models is still limited. Through this paper, we aim to globally characterize structural four common software packages (CA_Markov, Dinamica EGO, Modeler, Metronamica) and analyse options that they offer for management. The have been compared qualitatively, based their structures tools, quantitatively, through a study case city Cape Town...

The Kilombero wetland in Tanzania is affected by advancing land use and cover changes (LULCC), where we observe a conflict between development interests the necessity of conservation measures to maintain functionalities ecosystem. Thus, assessing patterns LULCC crucial foresee potential future developments develop sustainable management strategies. In this study, multi-method scenario approach ...

Urbanization and industrial development in the Juárez Valley, Chihuahua, Mexico, have led to abandonment loss of productive agricultural areas. However, extent dynamics this phenomenon are not precisely known due lack updated information. Therefore, it is necessary geospatially represent these changes over time predict their probability persistence into future provide decision-making tools for ...

The main purpose of this paper is to explain the factors affecting the change of service land uses in the city of Shiraz and identify its reasons. For this purpose, the second-order confirmatory factor analysis technique has been used as one of the structural equation modeling techniques to determine the severity of the effect of the four factors on land use change, through which a contributing...

Intraurban land-use change and factors affecting it are critical subjects in land-use planning. If unplanned, such changes can reduce the quality of life and spatial justice and ultimately lead to urban unsustainability. This paper aims to identify factors influencing unsustainable land-use change and analyze the intensity of such changes based on those factors. The artificial neural network an...
