The urban land-use allocation problem is a spatial optimization problem that allocates
optimum land-uses to specific land units in urban areas. This problem is an NP …

Spatial urban land-use planning is a complex process, through which we aim to allocate
suitable land-uses while taking into consideration multiple and conflicting objectives and …

The rapid growth of cities in recent decades has unleashed several challenges for urban
planning, which have been exacerbated by their aging population. Among the most pressing …

Multi-objective optimization can be used to solve land-use allocation problems involving
multiple conflicting objectives. In this paper, we show how genetic algorithms can be …

Land-use planning, which requires finding a balance among different conflicting social,
economic and environment factors, is a complex task needed everywhere, including Africa …

Frequent land-use changes in urban areas require an efficient and dynamic approach to
reform and update detailed plans by re-arrangement of surrounding land-uses in case of …

Due to the many objectives and constraints involved in urban land use planning (ULUP), this
is considered as a many‐objective and complex optimization problem that needs a variety of …

Urban land-use allocation is a complicated problem due to the variety of land-uses, a large
number of parcels, and different stakeholders with diverse and conflicting interests. Various …

Deployment of distributed building photovoltaic (PV) applications creates a complicated
decision-making process to balance conflicting objectives with various constraints. As an …

This study presents a comprehensive framework for reevaluating the suitability of an old
