Much of the United States is urbanizing, increasing importance developing Extension programs geared toward urban audiences. There has been an interest in agriculture (UA) recent years as outgrowth “local food” movement. The COVID-19 pandemic increased awareness food system resilience, which can play a role. Developing specifically targeted to farming clientele bolster Cooperative Extension’s ro...

This paper seeks to contribute continuing efforts better understand and control the effects of urbanization on our environment society by offering a thorough review most recent geodetic measuring techniques for build-up area growth. In this article, we give case study from Uzbekistan that looks at current expanding areas. is fast urbanizing nation in Central Asia, politicians experts are both d...

Africa has high biodiversity and is rapidly urbanizing. However, there is limited understanding of how urban expansion in Africa is likely to affect its habitats and biodiversity. Little urban ecological research has been done in Africa. This study needs to think ahead as Africa move into the “urban age” it is critical to inform the public on the importance of urban environment...

The purpose of this study was to estimate the effect of gender inequality in education on females’ labor force participation in 14 major cities (rapidly urbanizing areas) of Pakistan after taking into account the socio-economic indicators like the marital status of female, the gender of the head of household, physical facilities, the median income of the household, etc. Data were gathered from ...

To understand the urbanization process, it is essential to detect urban spatial growth and study relations with social development. In this study, we take Wuhan as a case examine land patterns how factors relate evolution between 1990, 2000, 2010. We first classify cover using Landsat images during various stages based on landscape metrics regarding area, density, shape. Afterwards, principal c...

The growing population in informal settlements expedites alterations land use and cover (LULC) over time. Understanding the patterns processes of landscape transitions associated with settlement dynamics rapidly urbanizing cities is critical for better understanding consequences, especially environmentally vulnerable areas. study sought to map systematically analyze growth patterns, processes, ...

To encourage sustainable development, engineers and scientists need to understand the interactions among social decision-making, development and redevelopment, land, energy and material use, and their environmental impacts. In this study, a framework that connects these interactions was proposed to guide more sustainable urban planning and construction practices. Focusing on the rapidly urbaniz...

Urban green spaces and plant diversity at different spatial–temporal scales: a case stUdy from beijing, china.— Beijing, the capital city of China, is one of the largest and most rapidly-urbanizing cities in the world. In this work, we present the main results of one decade’s research on urban vegetation and plant diversity changes in different urban structural units. Urban vegetation/plant div...

We developed a geographic cellular automata (CA) model based on partial least squares (PLS) regression (termed PLS-CA) to simulate dynamic urban growth in a geographical information systems (GIS) environment. The PLS method extends multiple linear regression models that are used to define the unique factors driving urban growth by eliminating multicollinearity among the candidate drivers. The k...
