Exploring urban land use change is a classical problem in urban geography. Taking
Zhengzhou as an example, this paper analyzes the spatial and temporal characteristics and …

Cellular automata (CA) has become one of the most prevalent approaches for spatially
explicit urban growth modeling. Previous studies have investigated how the key components …

Sustainable urban development is the key to regional urban development policy-making.
Therefore, the comprehensive spatial zoning of rapidly urbanising areas is important. In this …

Urban development is a process that becomes increasingly complex as the city evolves and
in which unexpected events can happen which may alter the envisaged trend over time. To …

Most contemporary urban cellular automata (CA) models primarily focus on the simulation of
urban land expansion, and cannot effectively simulate vertical urban growth. This study …

Interactions among cities are playing an increasingly significant role in driving urban
expansion in urban agglomerations. Many studies have combined the gravitational field …

Accurate land-use/-cover change (LUCC) simulation is of great significance to issues closely
related to regional planning and policy-making. Many models have been committed to …

Land use (LU) changes caused by urbanization, climate, and anthropogenic activities alter
the supply of ecosystem services (ES), which affects the ecological service value (ESV) of a …

Accurate predictions of land-use change are important for supporting planning. Cellular
automata (CA) models are widely used to simulate real-world urban land-use change but …

Rapid urban expansion has seriously threatened ecological security and the natural
environment on a global scale, thus, the simulation of dynamic urban expansion is a hot …
