there have been different indices identified for desertification. among these is technogenic desertification index which seems much more efficient. in this study, some of technogenic desertification indices were studied and evaluated. first land use maps of the region were taken from irs-pan satellite image and aerial photos analysis. after evaluating the area of different uses, lands that had ...

introduction: water shortage in arid and semiarid regions of the world is a cause of serious concerns. the severe water scarcity urges the reuse of treated wastewater effluent and marginal water as a resource for irrigation. mobarake steel complex has been using treated industrial wastewater for drip-irrigation of trees in about 1350 ha of its green space. however, wastewater may contain some a...

Abstract Urban green spaces are a critical component of cities, providing environmental, social, cultural, and economic benefits. To support smart(er) decisions by city planners managers, this study aims to investigate how open data sources could be integrated into urban space management.

the city is alive with dynamic systems, where parks and urban green spaces have high strategic importance which help to improve living conditions. urban parks are used as visual landscape with so many benefits such as reducing stress, reducing air pollution and producing oxygen, creating opportunities for people to participate in physical activities, optimal environment for children and decreas...

Density is a critical typology in determining sustainable urban built-form patterns. Built-formrefers to the assemblage and arrangement of the building masses in a city reflecting the spatial layout of spaces.The relationship between density and urban character is also based on at certain densities (thresholds). In a widersense, sustainable cities are a matter of density. Recent debates about t...

This paper describes an algorithm based on accessibility-driven partitioning approach to automate the design of sacrificial multi-piece molds. Sacrificial multi-piece molds are used for producing geometrically complex gelcast ceramic parts. The algorithm presented in this paper analyzes the accessibility of the gross mold shape and partitions it using accessibility information. Each partitionin...
