land-use spatial allocation is a multi-objective collaborative spatial optimization methodfor rational use of the land use. based on global search capabilities and the information feedbackmechanism of ant colony optimization (aco), a land-use spatial allocation model (aco-la) isproposed. firstlyfirst, a construction graph is built for modeling the land-use spatial allocationproblem. secondlysec...

there are various methods and models for land evaluation. these methods are classified according to the number of used resources. the best resources capabilities or potentials and land use can be found by analyzing one of the main resources, in the lands close relations to ecologic resources exist. soil has a great potential for introducing the studied region specifications. hence, it challenge...

This edited volume is devoted to the examination of the implications of the inevitable changes wrought by global change on the welfare and livelihoods of tens of millions of people who live in dryland regions. Global change is more than just climate change and the ramifications of changing trade patterns (geopolitical and economic aspects), the shift to the market economy, demographic factors (...

providing of landing use maps and detecting of land capacity are required to manage of natural resources and environment and planning of land use. on the other hand, it is necessary to detect of the human deriving forces affecting land use change. in this research, we selected seyed mohaleh and drasara villages in tonekabon city. first, were provided the land use maps in 1987 and 2008 by using ...

Intensive land use assessment is a key research topic in urban use, and most of the existing studies focus on macro-level assessment. There lack micro-level intensive especially at parcel level. The objective this to propose method for parcel-based evaluation commercial intensification. study uses multidimensional framework index system, comprehensive evaluation, spatially exploratory analysis ...

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...
