Accurate simulations and predictions of urban expansion are critical to manage urbanization
and explicitly address the spatiotemporal trends and distributions of urban expansion …

Accurately simulating and predicting the urban expansion process, especially in expeditious
urbanization areas, is an important aspect of managing limited land resources and adjusting …

Rapid urban growth in develo** countries is causing a great number of urban planning
problems. To control and analyse this growth, new and better methods for urban land use …

Rapid urbanization has led to drastic land-use/cover changes (LUCCs) and urban heat
islands (UHIs), negatively altering the urban climate and air quality. LUCC's significant …

Rapid urban expansion often leads to substantial encroachment on ecological lands and
destruction of natural environments. We developed a new cellular automata model (named …

Increasing urbanization, especially in develo** countries, promotes the need of
monitoring and modelling of urban growth or sprawl. Urban remote sensing and modelling …

The present study attempts to model the spatiotemporal urban growth of the Kolkata
metropolitan area (KMA), India, in a comparative modeling framework using three (remote …

Sri Lanka is experiencing speedy urbanization by converting the agriculture land and other
natural land cover into built-up land. The urban population of Sri Lanka is expected to reach …

Land conversion is having major impacts on wildlife globally, and thus understanding and
predicting patterns of land conversion is an important component of conservation planning …

This study simulates and predicts the urban environment growth in the Tehran, capital of
Iran, using the remote sensing data, multi-layer perceptron neural network, zonal, trend, and …
