Flood risk in urban areas will increase massively under future urbanization and climate
change. Urban flood risk models have been increasingly applied to assess impacts of …

The urban land-use allocation problem is a spatial optimization problem that allocates
optimum land-uses to specific land units in urban areas. This problem is an NP …

Existing research on urban dynamic simulations has primarily focused on horizontal
aspects, whereas vertical changes have remained relatively unexplored. Although a few …

Fine-scale urban simulation obtained through vector-based cellular automata (VCA) can
provide more authentic parcel-level maps to aid urban planning. However, two aspects of …

Vector cellular automata (VCA) are effective models for cadastral-scale land use change
modeling, leveraging fine spatial granularity information from cadastral plot data. The …

The integration of urban rail transit and land use has been adopted as a crucial approach to
fostering compact development in cities. Proximity to rail transit stations can increase the …

Cellular automata (CA) model has powerful spatial analysis capabilities and easy coupling
with other models. However, the coupling based on single model and CA model is difficult to …

Coordination between the construction of transport infrastructure and the development and
protection of territorial space is an important factor in promoting sustainable regional …

Urban climate-related disaster risks are set to rise, driven by the interaction of two global
megatrends: urbanization and climate change. A detailed understanding of whether, where …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks have profound effects on climate change, sustainable
agricultural development, and environmental management. Our objectives were to propose …
