БАЗОВЫЕ ГЕОИНФОРМАЦИОННЫЕ РЕСУРСЫДЛЯ ОПТИМИЗАЦИИ  РЕГИОНАЛЬНОГО ЗЕМЛЕПОЛЬЗОВАНИЯ

Journal Articles & Books
November, 2016

В статье рассматривается актуальный вопрос использования геоинформационных ресурсов как инструмента оптимизации регионального землепользования. В качестве примера рассматривается система электронных карт ГИС «Мордовия», центральным звеном которой является синтетическая ландшафтно-экологическая карта (ЛЭК). Подчеркивается роль автоматизированных методов анализа и моделирования пространственной информации в решении проблемы актуализации базы данных ГИС.

The relationship between willingness to pay of a green space where development is assumed, and accessibility and visibility from surrounding houses

Journal Articles & Books
March, 2016

This paper was conducted to evaluate the residents' conservation awareness of a terrace slope forest by using amount of Willingness To Pay (WTP). This green space is an important landmark for this area, but it has a development possibility to become solar panels. The assessment of these green spaces are insufficient in previous research. Influences of different residential communities, and visibility and accessibility of green spaces are mainly discussed in the previous research.

December, 2004
Brazil

The vegetation cover plays a key role in protection and conservation of natural resources, particularly concerning soils. This study had as objective to analyze space and time dimensions of anthropic influence on the vegetation cover in part of the semi-arid region of the Ceará State, Brazil. LANDSAT TM-5 satellite images of 1985 and 1994 combined with geoprocessing techniques were used to verify the hypothesis of intensification of environmental degradation. Maps of the vegetation cover, land use, soils, and hydrography were elaborated.

Problems and solutions for abandonment of utilised agricultural areas in Latvia

December, 2017
Latvia

Utilised agricultural area is one of the most important natural resources in Latvia, which provides population with food and promotes the operation of agricultural companies. Unfortunately, appropriate land management is a problem for the majority of agricultural land owners, thereby adversely affecting the efficiency of resource use and increasing possibilities for the resource depletion. Constantly new solutions are searched for in Latvia to avert inefficient use of utilised agricultural areas and reduction of land as resource.

A new method to derive precise land-use and land-cover maps using multi-temporal optical data

Journal Articles & Books
April, 2014
Japan

Here we propose an accurate and robust method for large-area land-use and land-cover (LULC) mapping using multi-temporal optical data. The conventional method for LULC classification usually uses time-series data at regular intervals to consider the seasonality of LULC. However, high-resolution optical data have considerable seasonal biases, making it difficult to use time-series data.
