Against the backdrop of urban stock renewal, as core area a city rich in culture, aesthetics, and tourism resources, assessment landscape visual sensitivity historic districts can provide an accurate, objective, intuitive decision-making basis for multi-purpose planning districts. The main purpose this study was to develop method based on geographic information system (GIS) order make index map...

The study integrates geographic information system (GIS) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to evaluate land suitability for maize production in Zimbabwe using multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) process. Four thematic maps based on rainfall, temperate, soil type slope were integrated through overlay technique a GIS environment produce map. resultant map was overlaid with constraints ‘mask out’ a...

The Maritime province of Nova Scotia has seen coastal flooding become a more frequent phenomenon during the past decades due to changing climate regime. This influenced interest provincial and federal governments have in flood risk modelling, who often incorporate Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as useful tools their analysis. Incorporating LiDAR-derived digital elevation models (DEMs) wor...

Cropland suitability assessment is an essential technique for agricultural development and future planning. It evaluation to determine how suitable the land growing a specific crop in particular region based on multiple parameters like soil, climate, topography, socio-economic condition, infrastructure, irrigation, existing use/land cover environmental aspects. The paper presents different mult...

12 (52%) had perfusion defects on MCE. Significant CAD was revealed on angiography in 10 (43.5%) patients: in 4 (17.4%) single-vessel and in 6 (26.1%) multi-vessel disease. To investigate diagnostic performance of MCE in detection of significant coronary lesion, we performed a vessel-based head to head comparison with coronary angiography for three different regions supplied by LAD, Cx and RCA ...

Land degradation is recognized as one of the major threats to the buffer zones of protected areas (PAs) in Vietnam. In particular, the expansion of land degradation into the PAs is exerting pressure on biodiversity conservation efforts. This degradation is partially the result of mismanagement: the utilization of the land is often unmatched with the inherent suitability of the land. Identificat...

A Cellular Automata model based on Partial Least Squares Approaches is proposed for simulating complex urban systems. The core part of Geo-CA model is the transition rules and a mass of independent spatial variables are involved in the process of creating CA model. Studies have focused on eliminating correlation using Multi-Criteria Evaluation (MCE) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), but t...

Landfill sites receive 92% of total annual solid waste produced by municipalities in the emirate of Abu Dhabi. In this study, candidate sites for an appropriate landfill location for the Abu Dhabi municipal area are determined by integrating geographic information systems (GIS) and multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) analysis. To identify appropriate landfill sites, eight input map layers including...

The spatial distribution pattern of hospitals in Wuhan indicates a core in the central urban areas and a sparse distribution in the suburbs, particularly at the center of suburbs. This study aims to improve the gravity and Huff models to analyze healthcare accessibility and resources. Results indicate that healthcare accessibility in central urban areas is better than in the suburbs, where it i...

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is one of the key instruments for implementing sustainable development strategies in planning in general, namely for analysing and assessing the spatial development concepts, in this case in the field of energy and planning of power plants. The SEA in energy sector planning has become a tool for considering the benefits and consequences of the proposed c...
