the growing population and increasing socio-economic necessitiescreates a pressure on land use/land cover. nowadays, land use change detection using remote sensing data provides quantitative and timely information for management and evaluation of natural resources. this study investigates the land use changes in part of hableh rood watershed of iran using landsat 7 and 8 (sensor etm+ and oli) i...

models of living in cities needs planning for land use. those who have planned for the cities have studied land use to present a model for the construction of cities. change of land use, is the main concern today. the factors which affect the change in land use can be divided into three main groups: legal factors, economical factors and population. out of these three factors, population has bee...

Because of increasing global urbanization and its immediate consequences, including changes in patterns of food demand, circulation and land use, the next century will witness a major increase in the extent of paved roads built worldwide. To model the effects of this increase, it is crucial to understand whether possible self-organized patterns are inherent in the global road network structure....

land use of sylhet has changed gradually. this is found from the field survey that in 1970 the area was dominated by marshy land (645.33 katha), vacant land (430.88 katha) and crop land (336.17 katha). by 1988 there was no university in the area. residential area also increased. it covered 39.11 % of total study area. now in 2007 there is a radical change noticed in the area in comparison with ...

changes in land use can significantly influence the hydrological cycle and hence affect water resources. understanding the impacts of land use changes on hydrology response at the watershed scale can facilitate development of sustainable water resources strategies. this paper investigates the hydrological effects of land use change in the zanjanroodbasinofiran, during last 40 years. the study r...

In urban and rural areas under rapid urbanization, a proper understanding of the relationship between population and construction land use is important for regional sustainable development. The decoupling method is a particularly useful way to examine this relationship. However, the decoupling method only considers the current relationship between population and construction land, ignoring the ...

balance among different fractions of a carbon sources is of paramount importance in maintenance of very important in soil quality and environmental health. on the other hand, rapid growth of world population, degradation of agricultural soils, along with release of greenhouse gasses are some of the main challenges of the 21st century. the aim of this study was to investigate the extent of chang...

This study examines the temporal and spatial changes in land use as aconsequence of rapid urban development in the city of Beijing. Using a combination oftechniques of remote sensing and GIS, the study identifies a substantial loss of plaindryland and a phenomenal expansion of urban construction land over the recent decade.Geographically, there is a clear shifting of urban construction land fro...
