the present study aims to simulate the spatial pattern of land use change in lisar protected area,iran. land cover maps for 1989, 2000, and 2007 were depicted using tm, etm+, and irs liss-iii images ofthe area at stake. images were classified using a merge of unsupervised and supervised classification. camarkov model was used to predict land cover maps as a top-down approach in investigating la...

Recently, land use and cover change is recognized as a one of major drivers of global change. Consequently, an updated and accurate database concerning their distribution is essential for global change research. This study investigated a land use change based on change of temporal pattern which applied to the wavelet-filtered MODIS EVI from 2000 to 2009. The temporal pattern analysis was able t...

Recent global peer-review reports have concluded on importance of buildings in tacking the energy security and climate change challenges. To integrate the buildings energy efficiency into the policy agenda, significant research efforts have been recently done. More specifically, the public domain provides a bulk of literature on the application of buildings-related efficiency technologies and b...
