ecological capability evaluation and landuse planning can determine the best landuses and are important for the proper planning and sustainable development. there are various methods for ecological capability evaluation. in this research have been studied two methods (land use planning method with makhdoom ecological modsels) and (geomorphology method) for ecological capability evaluation in ne...

Cultivated land resources are an important basis of regional sustainability; thus, it is important to determine the distribution of the cultivated land in the Northeast Asia trans-boundary area of China, Russia and Mongolia, which has a continuous geographic and ecological environment and an uneven population distribution. Extracting information about the cultivated land and determining the spa...

The objective of this paper is to simulate the location of land-use change, specifically forest disturbance, in Costa Rica over several decades. This paper presents a GIS-based model, GEOMOD2, which quantifies factors associated with land-use, and simulates the spatial pattern of land-use forward and backward in time. GEOMOD2 reads rasterized maps of land-use and other biogeophysical attributes...
