Geological and Geospatial Mapping of Vulnerability Areas for Proper Flood Mitigation: Ganaja, Lokoja Metropolis, North-Central Nigeria

Flood hazard mapping in an urban area using combined hydrologic-hydraulic models and geospatial technologies

Flooding is one of the most occurring natural hazards every year risking the lives and properties of the affected communities, especially in Philippine context. To visualize the extent and mitigate the impacts of flood hazard in Malingon River in Valencia City, Bukidnon, this paper presents the combination of Geographic Information System, high-resolution Digital Elevation Model, land cover, so...

Mapping the flood-prone areas for developing a flood risk management system in the northeast of Iran

Gender Analysis of Energy Use for Rice Production in North Central, Nigeria

The study examined gender analysis of energy use for Rice production in north central Nigeria using a sample of 60 Rice farmers. An analysis of gender relations provides the information on the different conditions men and women face, and the different effects that policies and programs may have on them. Simple descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. Energy efficiency and energy pr...

Evaluation of Matched Filter method for wind erosion mapping Landsat 8 OLI Imagery, (Central and North West province of Khuzestan)

Successful target detection, especially if there is a similarity between the target and the background area, always is a noticeable issue in remote sensing studies. Because of the spectral behavior similarity to the other phenomena and spatial distribution of these units, the mapping of wind erosion units is difficult. Thus, this study attempts to detect the favorable areas by using matched fil...

Investigating the geological potential of the Birjand area for establishing and extending flood farms (Bandsar)

Khorasan Province is one of the areas in which it is not possible to cultivate farmlands because of low rainfall, and hence, flood farms (bandsar in local dialect) are considered an effective traditional method for flood cultivation in the region. We used a geological map of Birjand at a scale of 1: 250,000 to select the study area. This area includes the city of Birjand and numerous population...
