An integrated optimization model was developed for the spatial distribution of agricultural crops in order to efficiently utilize agricultural water and land resources simultaneously. The model is based on the spatial distribution of crop suitability, spatial distribution of population density, and agricultural land use data. Multi-source remote sensing data are combined with constraints of opt...

We developed a global land-use allocation model that can be linked to integrated assessment models (IAMs) with a coarser spatial resolution. Using the model, we performed a downscaling of the IAMs' regional aggregated land-use projections to obtain a spatial land-use distribution, which could subsequently be used by Earth system models for global environmental assessments of ecosystem services,...

land use is often referred as the basis for urban planning. perhaps the main reason is that the discussion of fundamental related to urban planning objectives has play the first role in the land use studies. basic topics such as proper location, optimal allocation, diversification, functionality and … which are in direct contact with comfort goals, are the last objectives of urban planners and ...
