Rapid land development in rapidly growing countries has created a series of land‐use
problems. The implementation of sustainable land use can alleviate some of these …

Increasing amounts of waste, both solid and liquid, are being generated as a result of the
rapid rate of urbanisation. This in turn presents greater difficulties for disposal. The problem …

The modelling of land use change is a way to analyse future scenarios by modelling
different pathways. Application of spatial data of different scales coupled with socio …

Cellular Automata (CA) have attracted growing attention in urban simulation because their
capability in spatial modelling is not fully developed in GIS. This paper discusses how …

The main objective of this study was to develop models for accurate prediction of municipal
solid waste (MSW) generation and diversion based on demographic and socio-economic …

Spatial models of urban growth have the ability to play an important role in the planning
process; if not in aiding in policy decisions, then in processes such as visioning, storytelling …

This study explored the past and present land-use/land-cover (LULC) changes and urban
expansion pattern for the cities of the Kathmandu valley and their surroundings using …

Waste generation is continuously increasing, like the global population and urbanization.
This is accompanied by emissions and externalities, making municipal solid waste …

We consider urban sustainability issues in developing countries, with a focus on urban
growth. The need for urban management tools that are able to provide prospective …

This paper presents future trends of urban wastes and their impacts on the environment of
African cities using plausible mitigation scenarios. To accomplish this, an integrated …
