Using GIS, the present paper aims at modeling task allocation to human groups in a dynamic and spatio-temporal form. To do this, a novel method inspired by Market Based Procedure is proposed. Governing factors such as space, time, tiredness of the persons, importance, priority and the difficulty of the work and environmental dynamism, the functions referred to cost, reward and profit are consid...

This paper presents a geomorphological map of the Hérens valley in the Western Swiss Alps. With an area of 270 km and altitudes ranging from 470 to 4357 m a.s.l., this valley is one of the main secondary catchments of the Upper Rhône valley. The high differences in altitudes, combined with a varied geology, create an important geomorphic diversity. The main processes active in mountain areas, t...

This is an intelligent modeling of the evolution of drought and forest fires, due to climate change in Cyprus. Original annual wild fire data records (1979-2009) and data regarding meteorological parameters were used. A flexible modeling approach was proposed towards the determination of drought risk indices in all of the country. Cyprus was divided in eight polygons corresponding to eight mete...

Desertification is caused by the influence of the climatic, environmental changes and human activities. Its enlargement and reverse leads to not only the changes of spatial structure, scope and environment but also the development of society and economy. Chose TM remote sensing images which had two different temporal phases as data sources. Through data preprocessing and the choice of suitable ...
