Since 1949, the information of land tenure has a positive effect on defining the scope of collective land and state-owned land, implementing the system of cultivated land protection and land use control, designing general land use planning, etc. But as the economic and social development, the existing land tenure information is not appropriate anymore and results in many problems. The emphasis ...

Since 1949, the data of land tenure has a positive effect on reconciling land tenure conflicts, defining the scope of collective land and state-owned land, implementing the system of cultivated land protection and land use control, designing general land use planning, accelerating information-based land resource management, etc. The emphasis in the near future should be placed on establishing r...

Greenhouse gas emission reduction has become the responsibility and consensus of all mankind’s development, the way of non-sustainable land use results in a lot of greenhouse gas emissions in the context of low-carbon economy. On the basis of revealing impact of land use on carbon emissions and status of carbon emissions, this paper proposes the regulation proposals of land use based on low-car...

in this paper we develop a new approach for land leveling in order to improve the topology of a large area for irrigation or civil projects. the objective in proposed model is to minimize the total volume of cutting so that technical requirements of land leveling such as suitable slope and standard ratio of cutting to filling and maximum penstock point’s height are considered. we develop a warp...

The question of land in Zimbabwe has always been political and gendered. Whereas land reform was necessary in the context of highly unequal land ownership patterns and poverty, this paper shows that the Fast Track Land Reform Programme diminished opportunities or spaces for women to be empowered and shrunk the democratic spaces for genuine participation of women in the development process by de...

This study analyzes the characteristics of land use/land cover change in Jordan’s Irbid governorate, 1984–2018, and predicts future land use/land cover for 2030 and 2050 using a cellular automata-Markov model. The results inform planners and decision makers of past and current spatial dynamics of land use/land cover change and predicted urban expansion, for a better understanding and successful...

Predicting land use change is an indispensable aspect in identifying the best development and management of land resources and their potential. This study used certified land-use maps of 1997, 2006, and 2015 combined with ancillary data such as road networks, water bodies and slopes, obtained from the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Surveying and Mapping in Malaysia, respectivel...

Incentive-based strategies such as conservation easements and short-term management agreements are popular tools for conserving biodiversity on private lands. Billions of dollars are spent by government and private conservation organizations to support land conservation. Although much of conservation biology focuses on reserve design, these methods are often ineffective at optimizing the protec...

land use optimization is one of the appropriate methods for soil conservation which helps decision makers and watershed planners in order to make the optimum decision among different land uses. the main objective of this research was to find the optimum area of each land use to reduce soil erosion rate as well as to increase the income of stakeholders in golroudbar watershed located in semnan p...
