Modeling the suitability of land to support specific land uses is an important and common GIS application. Three classic models, specifically pass/ fail screening, graduated screening and weighted linear combination, are examined within a more general framework defined by fuzzy logic theory. The rationale underlying each model is explained using the concepts of fuzzy intersections, fuzzy unions...

the present study aims to provide a solution to optimize land use through multi-objective linear programming, and to solve the conflicts generated in the process using game theory, in two cities of gorgan and kurdkoy, iran. the primary land use planning was completed for seven land use through multi-criteria evaluation and then a first allocation was implanted using mola. in the secondary land ...

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...

Land fragmentation is a significant problem in many parts of the world which hinders rational agricultural development and rural sustainable development. Land consolidation is considered to be the most effective land management approach for solving the problem of land fragmentation. It involves the re-organisation of the land tenure structure through land reallocation (or readjustment) and the ...

This paper introduces a statisticallywell-founded evaluation of the fusion of dual-band infrared and tri-band visual imagery for detecting buried land mines using real-data. A unified Bayesian framework is presented for representing and inferring from data captured by multiple sensors of scenes that may contain buried land mines.

The accuracy assessment of land cover maps is traditionally based on reference sample observations randomly selected over the study area. It is assumed that reference sample observations, representing the “real” land cover at Earth’s surface, are free of errors. However, some of these may be erroneous. These errors are sometimes due to an uncertainty in the identification of the most adequate r...

Mapping land cover change is an important problem for the scientific community as well as policy makers. Traditionally, bi-temporal classification of satellite data is used to identify areas of land cover change. However, these classification products often have errors due to classifier inaccuracy or poor data, which poses significant issues when using them for land cover change detection. In t...

objective: the aim of this study is to provide a management plan for the sykan watershed of darre shahr city located in ilam province using gis in land use planning. methods: for land using of sykan watershed of ilam province with about 9 hectares area, map of classes, elevation, percent slope, geographical aspects, soil characteristics, vegetation density and the final map units were combined ...
