quantifying the impacts of roads on isfahan landscape pattern using gradient analysis and landscape metrics methods
quantifying urban landscape is fundamental for monitoring and assessing ecological and socioeconomic consequences of urbanization. expansion of roads is a significant factor driving urban landscape change. the aim of this research is quantifying impacts of roads on isfahan city landscape. to achieve this aim, land use map of isfahan was created in 6 classes: urban, green spaces, agricultural, b...
متن کاملMeasuring spatial - temporal of Yazd urban form using spatial metrics
Abstract Urban form can be affected by diverse factors in different times. Socio- economic, political and physical factors are among the main contributors. So, one of the most important challenges of urban planners is measuring and identifying urban development pattern in order to direct and strengthen it to sustainable pattern and right direction. The case study of the present paper is the ...
متن کاملLandscape Effects of Urban Sprawl: Spatial and Temporal Analyses Using Remote Sensing Images and Landscape Metrics
This study intends to identify both general trends and subtle patterns of urban land changes of the past three decades in metropolitan Kansas City area. Landsat images were used to generate time series of land cover data from the early 1970s to the early 2000s. Based on remotely sensed land cover data, landscape metrics were calculated. Both the remotely sensed data and landscape metrics were u...
متن کاملAnalysis of urban sprawl at mega city Cairo, Egypt using multisensoral remote sensing data, landscape metrics and gradient analysis
This paper is intended to highlight the capabilities of synergistic usage of remote sensing, landscape metrics and gradient analysis. We aim to improve the understanding of spatial characteristics and effects of urbanization on city level. Multisensoral and multitemporal remotely sensed data sets from the Landsat and TerraSAR-X sensor enable monitoring a long time period with area-wide informat...
متن کاملStream communities across a rural–urban landscape gradient
Rapid urbanization throughout the world is expected to cause extensive loss of biodiversity in the upcoming decades. Disturbances associated with urbanization frequently operate over multiple spatial scales such that local species extirpations have been attributed both to localized habitat degradation and to regional changes in land use. Urbanization also may shape stream communities by restric...
