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...

An ecological land classification was developed for a complex region in southern California using geographic information system techniques of map overlay and contingency table analysis. Land classes were identified by mutual information analysis of vegetation pattern in relation to other mapped environmental variables. The analysis was weakened by map errors, especially errors in the digital el...

â increase in wastage of soil resources in watershed is a persistent challenge that with increase in population and pressure on natural sources and unstable plantation on gradient farms and soils cause production reduces on farms, and also decrease in daily ratio of farms to population can cause more pressure on lands and natural resources.lavarefin watershed placed in 60 km from bandarabass in...

Laser altimetry (LIDAR) data must be processed to generate a digital elevation model (DEM), a digital map of the terrain surface. The raw LIDAR points can be processed and then gridded to form a map of the ground surface. For example, a waveform generated by binning a set of points over a limited region can be decomposed into a set of Gaussian components. The component with the lowest mean repr...

The aim of this study is to determine runoff depth of the Van Lake basin by using remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) integration. While determining the results we used various data sets such as Landsat satellite image, 1:25000 standard topographic map, and soil map data. Standard 1:25000 topographic maps were used to derive digital elevation model. Sub-basin area and physica...

At present, computers, lasers, radars, planes and satellite technologies make possible very fast and accurate topographic data acquisition for the production of maps. However, the problem of managing and manipulating this data efficiently remains. One particular type of map is the elevation map. When stored on a computer, it is often referred to as a Digital Elevation Model (DEM). A DEM is usua...
