In developing countries, the domination of peripheral and dependent capitalism relations and the lack of appropriate structures and channels of attracting, this system have caused some kind of spatial-anatomic unbalances that has resulted in the appearance of single cities with national and regional prevalence. This situation is the main reason for small, medium and intermediate cities to lose ...

Tunnelling in urban areas is growing response to efficient transportation, many tunnels are constructed soft ground at shallow depths. Urban usually as twin-parallel and their adjacent constructions may cause settlements that distort damage the existing structures utilities above tunnel. In past few decades, tunnel boring machines have been used drill increasingly difficult geotechnical conditi...

Large populations of the sea urchin Diadema aff. antillarum occur in the east Atlantic archipelagos. The origin and stability of these large herbivorous populations are not well known. Variability in settlement, recruitment and adult urchin density were quantified and compared over a 7 yr period (2002 to 2008) within the Canary Islands. Variables that potentially affect urchin settlement such a...

Many coastal cities have undertaken reclamation projects to satisfy the land demands of rapid urbanization. However, the foundations of reclaimed land are susceptible to settlement and can have undesirable environmental impacts that could adversely affect these dense, populated areas. In the case of international airports built on reclaimed areas especially, regional-scale deformation must be m...

The spatial patterns of rural settlements are important for understanding the drivers of land use change and the relationship between human activity and environmental processes. It has been suggested that the clustering of houses decreases the negative effects on the environment and promotes the development of the countryside, but few empirical studies have quantified the spatial distribution p...

The author earlier conducted a research, attempting to make two models, one for understanding, monitoring and describing settlement patterns in metropolitan regions, dependant primarily on remotely sensed data; and the second, for predicting settlement patterns in such regions, using National Capital Region (NCR), of Delhi, India, as a case study. As part of the model, a transferable approach o...
