This is a study of modeling urban environments from TM satellite images. Urban environments are so heterogeneous. It is necessary to simplify them as combinations of basic land cover materials in order to enable quantitative studies. The V-I-S model proposed by Ridd in 1995 is a conceptual model to simplify urban environments as combination of three basic ground components: vegetation, impervio...

It is essential to monitor urban evolution at spatial and temporal scales to improve our understanding of the changes in cities and their impact on natural resources and environmental systems. Various aspects of remote sensing are routinely used to detect and map features and changes on land and sea surfaces, and in the atmosphere that affect urban sustainability. We provide a critical and comp...

The paper explores a framework combining remote sensing and spatial metrics aimed at improving the analysis and modeling of urban growth and land use change. While remote sensing data have been used in urban modeling and analysis for some time, the proposed combination of remote sensing and spatial metrics for that purpose is quite novel. Starting with a review of recent developments in each of...

Background. The recreational use of urban spaces has increased significantly in recent years, due to a trend towards healthier lifestyles in which regular exercise plays a leading role. Examples include walking, running or biking, activities for which large urban green parks provide excellent conditions. These parks, located within the city, are intended for public use and include landscape fea...

Soundscapes of a city as cultural-symbolic space mediating our perception sounds and noises are dynamic, changeable heterogeneous. The way everyday life, cultural experience, audio-visual texts consumed outline different trajectories interaction with sonic environment make the border between sound noise quite fluid. This article presents ethnographic data, important for understanding process fo...
