Spatio-temporal land-use change modeling, simulation, and prediction have become one of
the critical issues in the last three decades due to uncertainty, structure, flexibility, accuracy …

Cellular automaton (CA) is a widely-used tool for modeling land-use changes that can
enhance our understanding of past and future urban development. Previous studies have …

Obtaining the characteristics of an urban ecological network structure and connectivity plays
an important guiding role in the concrete implementation of ecological construction in a …

Rapid urbanisation causes large urban conversions of natural and agricultural land to non-
agricultural use. Research on urban expansion has typically disregarded gradient …

Land use change (LUC) has gained attention as a core topic of global ecological
environment change research. The cellular automata (CA) model affects the global layout …

Land use change (LUC) exhibits obvious spatio-temporal dependency. Previous cellular
automata (CA)-based methods usually treated the LUC dynamics as Markov processes and …

Urbanization processes have accelerated over recent decades, prompting efforts to model
land use change (LUC) patterns for decision support and urban planning. Cellular automata …

Urbanization-led changes in land use land cover (LULC), resulting in an increased
impervious surface, significantly deteriorate urban meteorological conditions compromising …

Abstract Urban Growth Boundaries (UGBs) are a tool to control urban sprawl. However, the
way to optimize future urban land uses and fix their boundaries is not clear. This paper …

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