Currently there are no internationally accepted methodologies to evaluate and compare the performance of land administration systems. This is partly because land administration systems are in constant reform, and probably more importantly, they represent societies' different perceptions of land. This paper describes the development of a framework to measure and compare the performance of land a...

      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 cha...

for the successful tree establishment, an evaluation of land suitability is necessary.in this paper, we demonstrate how to implement fuzzy classification of land suitability in agis environment for afforestation with juglans regia in gharnaveh watershed of golestanprovince in iran. juglans regia is one of the most important agro-forestry species in manyrural parts of iran. relevant criteria for...

YUAN, HUI. Development and Evaluation of Advanced Classification Systems using Remotely Sensed Data for Accurate Land-Use/Land-Cover Mapping. (Under the direction of Dr. Siamak Khorram.) Our general objective in this research was to design, develop, implement, and evaluate advanced classification approaches for more accurate land-use/land-cover mapping using remotely sensed data. The overall re...

Because conventional Boolean retrieval of soil survey data and logical models for assessing land suitability treat both spatial units and attribute value ranges as exactly specifiable quantities, they ignore the continuous nature of soil and landscape variation and uncertainties in measurement which can result in the misclassification of sites that just fail to match strictly defined requiremen...

In recent years, methods of fuzzy reasoning have been successfully developed for land evaluation. The accuracy of such land evaluation depends on the quality of weighing land characteristics with respect to their effects on crop production. This paper presents a spatially-based model of land suitability analysis. The main purposes were to (1) establish land suitability indices for irrigated whe...

the complexity of urban systems in our recent world, make it difficult to evaluation and explanation of their changes with traditional and customarily methods. in the past, remote sensing has shown an ability to detect and describe urban growth patterns at different spatial scales. with new remote sensing devices (e.g. ikonos), with innovative image processing techniques and with further develo...
