This study questions the frequent overemphasis on population growth aspects of African
urbanization with little consideration of the spatial extent by analyzing the influence of …

Modelling urban land use change is of profound concern to environmental scientists who
have found cellular automata models very attractive for simulating urban dynamics. The …

Many methods can be used to construct geographical cellular automata (CA) models of
urban land use, but most do not adequately capture spatial heterogeneity in urban …

We develop a new geographical cellular automata (CA) modeling framework, named
UrbanCA, through reconstructing the essential CA structure and incorporating nonspatial …

The rate of land urbanization has grown rapidly in recent decades in China, and a growing
body of literature has investigated the driving forces behind it. The dual nature of China's …

The topic of this paper evolves on the discourse of digital modeling in landscape design.
Current design methods stagger to address physical forms and dynamics present in the …

Although the neighborhood of the cellular automata (CA) model has been studied in detail,
there is a contradiction in the selection of the neighborhood size that has not been revealed …

ABSTRACT Water Shortage Risk (WSR) map is a tool to establish priorities to take actions in
the management of Urban Water Supply Systems (UWSS). This work presents a …

Spatial policies are crucial to regulating the harmful consequences of land use change on
social-ecological systems. As the urban development model transitions to urban …

Although many publications have noted the impact of urban planning on urban development
and land-use change, the incorporation of planning constraints into urban growth simulation …
