The relationship between sustainable urban development and environmental sustainability is crucial to every strategy of urban transformation, renewal and regeneration.
Ecosystem services are a powerful tool for land-use and environmental planning, which can help decision makers better understand the tradeoffs between different development scenarios.
Heat island is the main product of urban climate, and one of the important problems of twenty-first century. Cities in tropical countries suffer extensively due to the urban heat island effect, and urban climate studies are necessary to improve the comfort level and city planning.
Despite the potential to provide new insight into the underlying heterogeneity of urban thermal landscapes, local indicators of spatial autocorrelation (LISA) remains underutilized in land surface temperature (LST) related study.
Hollow-bearing trees provide habitat for diverse taxonomic groups and as such they are recognised for their importance globally. There is, however scant reference to this resource relative within urban forest patches.
The concept of Ecosystem Services has gained traction on the scientific agenda and has found its way into research on urban environments.
Landscape connectivity is of paramount importance not only in maintaining both functionality and resilience of social-ecological systems, but also in providing Ecosystem Services (ESs).
Building extraction from remote sensing images is very important in many fields, such as urban planning, land use investigation, damage assessment, and so on.
Rapid urbanization has induced numerous ecological and environmental issues seriously threatening the ecological security.
