Today, incorrect use of lands and land use changes, excessive grazing, no suitable using of agricultural farms, plowing on steep slopes, road construct, building construct, mine excavation etc have been caused increasing of soil erosion and sediment yield. For erosion and sediment estimation one can use statistical and empirical methods. This needs to identify land unit map and the map of effec...

the problems of land degradation and soil loss are among the major problems of watersheds in iran. for erosion andsediment estimation one can use statistical and empirical methods. for doing this, land unit map and the map of effectivefactors should be prepared. for erosion and sediment estimation one can use statistical and empirical methods. however,these empirical methods are usually time co...

In this study, a geospatial model for land use allocation was developed from the view of simulating the biological autonomous adaptability to environment and the infrastructural preference. The model was developed based on multi-agent genetic algorithm. The model was customized to accommodate the constraint set for the study area, namely the resource saving and environmental-friendly. The model...
