In coastal watersheds, services and landuse favour tourism urbanization, depriving rural upstream of infrastructure attention. This unbalanced management leads to an intensification socioeconomic changes that generate a structural heterogeneity the landscape reduction in livelihoods population. The incessant dissociation between objectives stakeholders triggers landuse-environment-economy confl...

The karst landscapes of the Mediterranean are regarded as some most vulnerable, fragile, and complex systems in world. They hold a particularly interesting group small islands with distinctive, recognizable landscape. Republic Croatia (HR), which has one indented coasts world, is known for them. In this paper, we analyzed spatio-temporal changes (STCs) landscape Ošljak Island, smallest inhabite...

There is a need in many emerging nations to develop simple methods for predicting areas of extensive soil erosion using imprecise, but real-world, input data at low cost with considerable Ž . accuracy. The objectives of this study are to 1 develop fuzzy logic models that predict soil Ž . erosion in a relatively large watershed using a limited number of input variables, 2 determine the Ž . effec...

CLASS Spatial Analyst is a GIS tool which can be used for spatial modelling. The tool generates a number of spatial layers that can be used for many practical applications. These include climate zoning, multi-resolution DEMs, Topographic Wetness Index (TWI) / Compound Topographic Index (CTI), lateral multiple flow paths, accumulation and dispersion of water and solutes from hazard areas, estima...
