Our central concern in this paper is to examine some alternative policies for physically containing the growth of urban areas. We undertake a microsimulation to provide a comparison between land use planning policies that enforce an urban growth boundary and policies that limit development at the periphery using taxes. We parameterise our microsimulation using the structure of demand and policy...

the hastening increase in the population of the cities ,lack of urban infrastructures ,shifting the land use and the consequent vanish of ecologically valuable lands in the countries ,industrial pollutions ,illegal settlement in the suburbs and other human activities which have influenced the growth of cities in iran too ,make it necessary to study and analyze the growth of rasht(the capital of...

This paper examines the inter-relationship of three major phenomena- population growth, uncontrolled urban expansion and urban development in Ado Ekiti, Nigeria. Uncontrolled urban expansion has a resultant effect on the urban development of a city whereas uncontrolled urban development is caused by uncontrolled population increase is caused by Migration. This work encapsulates how population g...

Aim: The upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGB) are frequent reasons for urgent consultation. The aim of our study is to determine the causes of upper gastrointestinal Bleeding in patients in our department. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study over 6 years between June 2011 and March 2017 covering 683 patients with a Upper gastrointestinal bleeding collected at the Gastroenterology II d...

Shape analysis of city growth is an essential means to develop a comprehensive city plan and the key elements of shape analysis are shape descriptors. Recently, many cellular urban models have been developed including the special models for lowland cities. Shape descriptors are the indices used for output of such urban models. Shape descriptors play a very important role in model fitness, calib...

Belirlenen frekans aralığında yüzeye gelen elektromanyetik dalgaların iletim, yansıma veya soğurma özelliği göstermesini sağlayan periyodik yapılara seçici yüzeyler (FSY) denir. Çalışmada üç farklı geometrik şekle sahip FSY tasarlanmıştır. Tasarlanan yapıların temel iletim karakteristiğini bozmadan, birim hücreleri üzerinde optimizasyon çalışmaları yaparak, kullanılan parametrelerin değiştirilm...

the complexity of urban systems in our recent world, make it difficult to evaluation and explanation of their changes with traditional and customarily methods. in the past, remote sensing has shown an ability to detect and describe urban growth patterns at different spatial scales. with new remote sensing devices (e.g. ikonos), with innovative image processing techniques and with further develo...

Rapidly increasing urbanization in the world, especially in developing countries, let to increasing urban extents. Rapid urban growth causes to appearance many problems such as wasting environmental resources, inability of providing necessary services for citizens and unplanned growth. Urban mangers and planners need tools for understanding amount and size of future urban growths to prevent the...
