Since the Land Administration Bureau was established in 1986, China has carried out the national land-use planning twice, of which the first was focused on "serving for social and economic development", and the second converted to “protecting arable land". At present a new round of land-use planning is ongoing (2005-2020), but the aims and requirements are even more and higher(Zheng Weiyuan,200...

Currently there are no internationally accepted methodologies to evaluate and compare the performance of land administration systems. To engage in this discussion, the authors published a previous article proposing an evaluation framework, which – based on a management model – links the operational aspects of land administration with land policy. In this new article, the framework is being appl...

A system for evaluating land suitability using fuzzy logic method has been developed. The system determining a degree of delimitation, land ratings, suitability classes, and their actual land suitability subclasses of given land characteristics. The main parts of the evaluation process, which included in the fuzzy inference engine of the knowledge based system, are fuzzification and defuzzifica...

Land evaluation procedure given by FAO for soil site suitability for various land utilization types has been used to assess the land suitability for different crops and for generating cropping pattern for kharif (summer) and rabi (winter) seasons in Kheragarah tehsil of Agra. Kheragarah tehsil suffers from many types of land degradation such as such as salinity, watelogging, ravines, degraded h...

The growing population and increasing socio-economic necessities creates a pressure on land use/land cover. Nowadays, land use change detection using remote sensing data provides quantitative and timely information for management and evaluation of natural resources. This study investigates the land use changes in part of Hableh Rood Watershed of Iran using Landsat 7 and 8 (Sensor ETM+ and OLI) ...

Objective: The aim of this study is to provide a management plan for the Sykan watershed of Darre shahr city located in Ilam province using GIS in land use planning. Methods: For land using of Sykan watershed of Ilam province with about 9 hectares area, map of classes, elevation, percent slope, geographical aspects, soil characteristics, vegetation density and the final map units were combined ...

Authorship disambiguation is an urgent issue that affects the quality of digital library services and for which supervised solutions have been proposed, delivering state-of-the-art effectiveness. However, particular challenges such as the prohibitive cost of labeling vast amounts of examples (there are many ambiguous authors), the huge hypothesis space (there are several features and authors fr...

Geomorphology affects the potential of land. The geomorphological condition an area has implications for physical characteristics, including: 1) type; 2) material; and 3) processes formed upon it. Understanding land capability allows evaluation suitability. Classification suitability is carried out by combining results identification with requirements plant growth or existing use. Evaluation ca...
