obviously, improving the road safety and the efficient allocation of limited resources to the provinces according to their ranking should be done. this paper presents a hybrid method of multivariate statistical analysis-decision making to evaluate iran road traffic safety. in order to solve the problems of road traffic safety, a macroscopic evaluation and traffic safety level classification in ...

Forest degradation in the tropics is often associated with roads built for selective logging. The protection of Intact Forest Landscapes (IFL) that are not accessible by roads is high on the biodiversity conservation agenda, a challenge for logging concessions certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). A frequently advocated conservation objective is to maximise the retention of “roadle...

The principles outlined here apply as much to other types of regional analysis, and not just forestry, although forestry applications show many of the complexities of the general problem. The objective is first to map the forests in some valid fashion, then to predict their growth in the future, and finally to schedule harvesting that both preserves the regeneration rate of the whole forest, pr...

With the urbanization process around the globe, traffic accidents have undergone a rapid growth in recent decades, causing significant life and property losses. Predicting traffic accidents is a crucial problem to improving transportation and public safety as well as safe routing. However, the problem is also challenging due to the imbalanced classes, spatial heterogeneity, and the non-linear r...

fragmentation, or breaking apart of habitats, is one of the major causes of decline in biological diversity. mature ecosystems, especially dense forests are very sensitive to this phenomenon and roads are one of the major causes of fragmentation in forest landscapes. present investigation aims to trace landscape fragmentation in dense forests of golestan national park in northeast of iran betw...
