Regional Growth Impacts on Agricultural Land Development: A Spatial Model for Three States

A Study for the Regional Spatial Pattern of Agricultural Land Use by Remote Sensing and Multiple Choice Model

Abslraci-This article focuses on developing a predictive method to simulate the distribution of agricultural land use patterns based on remote sensing and a multiple choice logit model. A multiple choice model is developed to determine land use options such as rice cropland, maize cropland, wheat cropland, soybean cropland and so on. The independent variables are grouped under two categories: b...

Impact of Agricultural Practice on Regional Climate in a Coupled Land Surface Mesoscale Model

The Effects of Potential Land Development on Agricultural Land Prices

We conduct a national-scale analysis of the determinants of agricultural land values. The theoretical basis for the study is a spatial city model with stochastic returns to future land development. The empirical model of agricultural land prices is estimated with a crosssection on approximately three thousand counties in the contiguous US. The results provide evidence that option values associa...

development of a spatial multi objective optimization model for intensive energy industries land use planning

land use planning is the process of allocating different land uses and activities to the special units of land. so we face with two problems of assigning kind of activity and location of it. by considering the role of industries in development, employment and environment, we consider industrial and especially intensive energy industries planning as a multi objective optimization problem. in thi...

The role of government decisions on regional development with the approach spatial planning and sustainable development

Power as an institution, governance as structure and spatial organization is considered as an organizational tool in the service of the goals and aspirations of the institutions of power and governance structure. In this framework the spatial organization and geographic environment is a result of social organization (social, economic, political), and its natural and ecological system. Human aut...
