Constrained cellular automata (CA) are frequently used for modeling land use change and
urban growth. In these models land use dynamics are generated by a set of cell state …

Solid waste management is a challenge for the cities' authorities in developing countries
mainly due to the increasing generation of waste, the burden posed on the municipal budget …

The unprecedented increase in population and rapid rate of urbanisation has led to
extensive land use changes. Cellular automata (CA) are increasingly used to simulate a …

The objective of this paper is to review previously published models of municipal solid waste
generation and to propose an implementation guideline which will provide a compromise …

Cellular automata (CA) model has become one of the most widely used spatial explicit
methods for simulating land use change in recent decades. There are many CA models that …

Waste management (WM) is a demanding undertaking in all countries, with important
implications for human health, environmental preservation, sustainability and circular …

Cellular automata (CA) models are extensively applied in urban growth modeling in different
forms (ie, pixel or patch). Studies have reported that the patch-based approach can achieve …

Spatial modelling is a resourceful approach largely used in land use planning and
occupation dynamics. The use of land change and urban growth simulations are …

Several methods for modeling urban expansion are available. Most of them are based on a
statistical, a cellular automaton (CA) and/or an agent-based (AB) approach. Statistical and …

Since the late 1990s, there are growing studies on the development of cellular automata
(CA) as a simulation tool for assisting urban and regional planning in China. Rapid urban …
