modeling urban growth effects on landscape structure in gorgan city area
نویسندگان
چکیده
logistic regression (lr) was used to model urban growth between the years 1987 and 2001 in gorgan city, north east of iran. three groups of variables including economic-social, land use and biophysical variables were used in the modeling practice. using covariance of the independent variables, distance to administrative and sporting centers plus distance to cities were removed. roc (relative operating characteristic) value for lr was 0.87 that confirmed success of the modeling method. using maps of urban growth probability predicted by the lr model, urban distribution patterns for the years 2010, 2020, 2030, 2040 and 2050 were created. land use maps for the years 2001-2050 were created using urban probability pattern maps and the base land use map of the year 1987. we used landscape metrics at class and landscape levels to compare the urban growth effects on other land use types present in the area. the comparison showed that urban development influences agriculture and pasture land use types more than other land uses. also, we found that the landscape in the study area has undergone fragmentation and will become more fragmented and heterogeneous over time. urban growth creates higher urban patchiness and increases the number of pasture and agricultural patches. the information thus obtained is helpful in more effective management of the area.

the logistic regression (lr) method, as an empirical estimation method, was used to model urban growth in gorgan city between the years 1987-2001. three groups of variables including social-economic, land use and biophysical variables were used. similarity among variables is probable. to remove the correlated variables, covariance was calculated and distance to administrative, sporting centers ...
متن کاملAesthetic Evaluation of Autumn Landscape of Hyrcanian Native Trees Species for Use in Urban Landscape (A Case Study in Sari City Area of Iran)
Recent decades have witnessed the growing use of non-native plants in Iran while their use is very challenging and high-cost for the country. This raised a new approach in recent decades towards the use of native plants. Native species are precious because they possess the main ecological factors and they are already compatible with the region. Accordingly, this research was conducted to evalua...

The main goal of the present study was to implement a hybrid pattern of cellular automata model and particle swarm optimization algorithm based on TM and ETM+ imagery of landsat satellite from 1988 to 2010 for simulating the urban sprawling. In this study, an alternative model was implemented in two ways: the first method was based on two images (1988 and 2010) and the second one was based on t...
