Abstract In this paper potential dam sites were identified using remote sensing and GIS. Determinant factors viz., precipitation, slope, flow accumulation, soil texture, land use, geology analyzed in the GIS domain. Each factor was reclassified assigned suitable fuzzy membership values depending on their influence site potential. All fuzzified layers overlaid "Fuzzy Overlay" tool platform. Init...

necessity of consideration future and delineating the characteristics of future development, leads trends to the fields of planning, rational utilization of resources and potential of areas. assessment of ecological capability, as the core of environmental studies at the prevention of possible crisis, provides an appropriate context for environmental planning. the ability of gis in managing and...

In terms of food safety, it is important to use the lands correctly in agricultural production. this study, potential crop suitability classes for wheat cultivation were created by using fuzzy model and GIS together. Spatial spectral factors considered as inputs separated four main groups, such soil (drainage, depth, texture, CaCO3, stoniness, pH, organic matter, salinity, ESP), topography (slo...

Assessing urban vulnerability to natural hazards such as earthquakes can be regarded as an ill-structured problem (i.e. a problem for which there is no unique, identifiable, objectively optimal solution). A review of the literature indi­ cates a number of contrasting definitions of what vulnerability means, as well as numerous conflicting perspectives on what should or should not be included wi...
