We present the first nationwide index of directly-measured land values by metropolitan area and investigate their relationship with housing prices. Construction prices and geographic and regulatory constraints are shown to increase the cost of housing relative to land. On average, approximately one-third of housing costs are due to land, with an increasing share in higher-value areas, implying ...

Land Subsidence is a kind of slow evolution geological hazards which needs effective way to monitor. The causal and developmentsof land subsidence are complex. The monitor of land subsidence is also difficulty. So it is hard to analyze it in independent data source. This paper uses multiple source data to extract the high temporal and spatial resolution result. The deformations of land surface ...

With the rural-to-urban population migration under new era of rapid urbanization, China has experienced dramatic rural land change, especially change in cultivated and residential land, resulting serious uncoordinated human–land relationships areas. The efficient use these two kinds resources becomes one paramount challenges for governments to achieve sustainable balanced development. This chal...

Daily maximum surface air temperature (Tamax) is a crucial factor for understanding complex land surface processes under rapid climate change. Remote detection of Tamax has widely relied on the empirical relationship between air temperature and land surface temperature (LST), a product derived from remote sensing. However, little is known about how such a relationship is affected by the high he...

THE EFFECTS OF RESIDENTIAL MINIMUM LOT SIZE ZONING ON LAND DEVELOPMENT: THE CASE OF OAKLAND COUNTY, MICHIGAN By Brian P. Foley Considerable theoretical and empirical debate has addressed the effects of minimum lot size zoning regulations on the development of land. The direction of this relationship certainly has relevance for policy. Previous studies have used econometric techniques to estimat...

This paper examines the inter-relationship of three major phenomena- population growth, uncontrolled urban expansion and urban development in Ado Ekiti, Nigeria. Uncontrolled urban expansion has a resultant effect on the urban development of a city whereas uncontrolled urban development is caused by uncontrolled population increase is caused by Migration. This work encapsulates how population g...

Urban green space provides a series of esthetic, environmental and psychological benefits to urban residents. However, the relationship between the visibility of green vegetation and perceived safety is still in debate. This research investigated whether green vegetation could help to increase the perceived safety based on a crowdsourced dataset: the Place Pulse 1.0 dataset. Place Pulse 1.0 dat...
