BORDER EFFECTS IN SUBURBAN LAND USE

Extraction of land use / land cover - related information from very high resolution data in urban and suburban areas

Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite images offer a great potential for the extraction of landuse and land-cover related information for urban areas. The available techniques are diverse and need to be further examined before operational use is possible. In this paper we applied two pixel-by-pixel classification techniques and the object-oriented image analysis approach (eCognition) for a land-...

The Preservation and Use of Scarce Agricultural Land in Suburban Areas

There are approximately one million kleingartens (small gardens) in Germany which provide public green spaces in urban areas. Most of the land is owned by local governments, who rent plots for approximately ¥20,000 per year to people without gardens.

These cases of incipient mental disease are sources of anxiety to their ...

Effects of the land use change on ecosystem service value

The impacts of land utilization change on the ecosystem service values in Daqing during 1995 to 2015 were analyzed based on unit area ecosystem service value of Chinese territorial ecosystem from Mr. Xie Gaodi and ecosystem service value calculation formula from Costanza. Results showed that the ecosystem service value of Daqing decreased from US $4343.1559m in 1995 to US $3824.327m in 2015, wi...
