This paper presents an extension of an evolutionary approach to classical plan optimisation to metric plan optimisation. With the advent of the third International Planning Competition (IPC), optimisation for fully automated planners is no longer solely an issue of optimising over the number of actions in a plan. The problem is more complicated and interesting as optimisation can be done in rel...

Cadastre is the essential land register and the basis for many services in the area of land administration and land management. Although European parcel based cadastral system is used in many countries, differences in business processes between countries exist. Through a long period of time these differences have been adapting to development of technology, legislation and other conditions withi...

This paper describes the structure of the LAND USE SCANNER model, a GIS based model developed to generate spatial forecasts for various types of land use for a large number of grids. The model basically allocates land according to bid prices for various types of land use. The possibility of government intervention in land use is taken into account among others by adding aggregate constraints. T...

LPG is a planner that performed very well in the last International planning competition (2002). The system is based on a stochastic local search procedure, and it incorporates several heuristic features. In this paper we experimentally analyze the most important of them with the goal of understanding and evaluating their impact on the performance of the planner. In particular, we examine three...

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...

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 ...
