T his research is an attempt to determine the agronomic plan, shadow price and final value with an emphasis on optimization of water use in five main agricultural regions of Kerman province (Kerman, Baft, Bardsir, Bam, and Jiroft) and five crops (wheat, barley, potato, onion, and tomato). Analysis was based on three scenarios: (i) current planting conditions, (ii) profit maximization...

land use is often referred as the basis for urban planning. perhaps the main reason is that the discussion of fundamental related to urban planning objectives has play the first role in the land use studies. basic topics such as proper location, optimal allocation, diversification, functionality and … which are in direct contact with comfort goals, are the last objectives of urban planners and ...

in this paper we develop a new approach for land leveling in order to improve the topology of a large area for irrigation or civil projects. the objective in proposed model is to minimize the total volume of cutting so that technical requirements of land leveling such as suitable slope and standard ratio of cutting to filling and maximum penstock point’s height are considered. we develop a warp...

land use planning is the process of allocating different land uses and activities to the special units of land. so we face with two problems of assigning kind of activity and location of it. by considering the role of industries in development, employment and environment, we consider industrial and especially intensive energy industries planning as a multi objective optimization problem. in thi...

This paper purposes an enhanced land use optimization model for land-use planning with a new spatial component. This component uses a simple representation of the proximity of related land uses to each other as a function of distances between parcel centroids. A special purpose genetic algorithm is developed for solving the resultant optimization problems for both the direct (additive) objectiv...

planners have regarded understanding urban use per capita since the beginning of new thinking of urban development. this was stared with its pragmatics toward primary comprehensive urban plans and became a source for urban development plans that have tried to adapt per capita and standards with country’s conditions. iran's supreme council for planning and architecture, determined standards...

many real water resources optimization problems involve conflicting objectives. in this study, multiobjective genetic algorithm nsga-ii, has been developed for optimization the conjunctive use of surface water and groundwater resources and optimal management of supply and demand of agricultural water. here, optimal allocation of land and water resources to the dominant products in najaf abad pl...

Effective management of environmental resources and energy demands optimal land use, which is a crucial issue in planning assessment nowadays. This paper proposes method for use the Xishuangbanna Prefecture, with three objectives (maximum economic efficiency, ecological compactness) corresponding constraints according to development needs characteristics. The multi-objective optimization algori...
