Aggregate deposit selection for land use planning – an example of applied geology

Task of engineering geology in land-use planning on the example of four selected geofactors

The paper deals with an evaluation of four selected geobarriers (flood lands, radon hazard, undermining and slope movements) by means of geographic information systems that are geofactors endangering or limiting landscape and environment or make certain land use impossible. The objective is to improve the possibilities of their implementation in land use planning. The research was carried out i...

Compactness for Regionalization and its Application in Land-Use Planning

Application of Multi Objective land Allocation technique for land use Planning Approach Case study: Hamadan County

From the late  twentieth century, human kind has found out that if he wants to obtain cost efficiently and continuous utilization of lands, it is better to execute this in a planned framework named management plan. Such idea is became  as an introduction to monitor the land or utilization of lands. Monitoring lands means contribution of an optimized space for land utilization with realization o...

Applied Surficial Geology Program: Aggregate Potential Mapping, Squamish Area

This paper outlines a new program of the British Columhia Geological Surbey Branch in the field of applied surficial geology. Its oh.jectivcs are to develop methodologies whereby informatiw from about 2000 existing surficial geology maps, in conjunction with subsurface data, can he used to produce derivative products in applied fields such as aggre@xte resource\. neological hazards, waste dispo...

Landform classification for land use planning in developed areas: an example in Segovia Province (central Spain).

Landform-based physiographic maps, also called land systems inventories, have been widely and successfully used in undeveloped/rural areas in several locations, such as Australia, the western United States, Canada, and the British ex-colonies. This paper presents a case study of their application in a developed semi-urban/suburban area (Segovia, Spain) for land use planning purposes. The paper ...
