Green developments are becoming a popular land use planning concept that attempts to accommodate growth while minimizing impacts on natural resources. Various policies encourage conservation designs that usually translate into the clustering of homes and the conservation of some percentage of open space. However, the success of a design is determined by what happens during the construction and ...

The study aimed to determine the impact of sound land use management to the runoff in Kabuntalan, Maguindanao in Tamontaka river basin. This was done through simulation and the comparison of the three land cover scenarios such as 2015 land cover, 2025 projected land cover and desired land use to determine its difference in terms of runoff. Hydrologic Engineering Center-Hydrologic Modeling Syste...

Food security covers aspects at all spatial levels from local to global and from an interdisciplinary and systemic food systems perspective. This book aims to better understand environmental, nutritional, agricultural, demographic, socioeconomic, political, technological, and institutional drivers, costs, and outcomes of current and future food security. Interactions with contextual factors inc...

Today in Uzbekistan, fines are imposed for sanctioning violations of agricultural lands, which used irrationally protecting lands and preventing them from escaping turnover. The calculation these is included the category administrative offenses punishable by fines. This a very recurring violation use land purposes other than those intended illegal use. imposition not sufficient to determine amo...

Land cover/land use categories are relevant components in land management. Understanding how land cover/land use change over time is necessary to assess the consequences of humans and natural stressors on the earth’s environment and resources. The aim of the study was to map and monitor the spatial and temporal change in land cover/land use for the periods of 1977, 1991 and 2016 and to predict ...

Urbanization brings biophysical changes in the composition of the landscape. Such change has an impact on the thermal environment locally. The urban mosaic of land use and land cover is thus characteristically composed of local climate zones. The spatial variation in the land surface temperature across specific zone is studied for Bhopal city. The objective of the study was to understand how th...

land-use spatial allocation is a multi-objective collaborative spatial optimization methodfor rational use of the land use. based on global search capabilities and the information feedbackmechanism of ant colony optimization (aco), a land-use spatial allocation model (aco-la) isproposed. firstlyfirst, a construction graph is built for modeling the land-use spatial allocationproblem. secondlysec...
