The integration of food-energy-water (FEW) sectors is essential for addressing the co-
evolution of urban infrastructure systems during urban growth. But how these evolutionary …

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 …

This paper presents a model to simulate built-up expansion and densification based on a
combination of a non-ordered multinomial logistic regression (MLR) and cellular automata …

Ecologically constrained urban expansion simulation (EC-UES) is an effective means to
plan sustainable urban landscapes. Current studies typically set ecological constraints using …

The study encompasses spatio-temporal land use/land cover (LULC) monitoring (1989–

Metropolitan areas around the world are looking for sustainable strategies to reduce use of
private automobiles, energy consumption and emissions, often achieved by built …

In the present study, the association of household livelihood and income inequality with
sustainable food security was assessed in the rural areas. We used a cross-sectional data …

Currently, land use and land cover change (LULCC) is of utmost concern for global
environmental change and sustainability. Among the portfolio of techniques, modelling is …

Land use land cover (LULC) of city regions is strongly affected by urbanization and affects
the thermal environment of urban centers by influencing the surface temperature of core city …
