The Resilient Cities Network initiated by the Rockefeller Foundation advocates achieving goal of comprehensive resilient urban development through land-use planning, but implementation resilience must be achieved a vulnerability analysis. Lowry Model is earliest and most used integrated transportation allocation model. Its operation mainly based on accessibility indicators to allocate populatio...

We examine the influences of urban redevelopment costs and land-use allocation efficiency and equity on the elasticity of housing development density with respect to urban demand shocks in the context of China’s urban growth from 1998 to 2004. We do so in an inter-city spatial equilibrium framework, where demand shocks are capitalized in urban land rent growth, which influences urban population...

Land-use allocation is of great significance in urban development. This type of allocation is usually considered to be a complex multi-objective spatial optimization problem, whose optimized result is a set of Pareto-optimal solutions (Pareto front) reflecting different tradeoffs in several objectives. However, obtaining a Pareto front is a challenging task, and the Pareto front obtained by sta...

ABSTRACT- Inadequate water supply is the major problem for agriculture in arid and semi-arid regions. Thus, effective management should be considered for water resources planning. In this research, a model was provided which is able to estimate optimal land and water allocation in the Doroodzan irrigation network. Optimal water management model was used at farm level to evaluate different defic...

Most research featuring demographic factors in environmental change has focused on processes operating at the level of national or global populations. This paper focuses on household-level demographic life cycles among colonists in the Amazon, and evaluates the impacts on land use allocation. The analysis goes beyond prior research by including a broader suite of demographic variables, and by s...
