Improper land use is one major cause of non-point source pollution. Integrated modeling would support the evaluation and optimization of land use for the non-point source pollution control. In this study, the CLUE-S (the Conversion of Land Use and its Effect at Small regional extent) and SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) models were coupled to simulate pollution loads under different land u...

Abstract The scarcity of urban land resources requires a well-organized spatial layout use to better accommodate human activities, however, as widely accepted concept, the integration and transport is not given due consideration in optimization (LUSO). This paper aims integrate LUSO support planning. Maximizing accessibility fitness, which follows underlying logic between types characteristics,...

In this study, a geospatial model for land use allocation was developed from the view of simulating the biological autonomous adaptability to environment and the infrastructural preference. The model was developed based on multi-agent genetic algorithm. The model was customized to accommodate the constraint set for the study area, namely the resource saving and environmental-friendly. The model...

in recent decades, the city development and city settlement have been tremendous. this has caused unequal physical and spatial expansion. the 21st century is the century of the city and living in city and almost half of the world population live as citizen. a glance at forecasting the data and statistics in 1400 shows an estimation of 130 millions of population and the calculation of present ci...
