The integration of GIS and multicriteria decision analysis has attracted significant interest
over the last 15 years or so. This paper surveys the GIS‐based multicriteria decision …

Optimal land use allocation with the intention of ecosystem services provision and
biodiversity conservation is one of the key challenges in agricultural management …

Land use optimization is a promising approach to achieve urban sustainability. Despite the
increasing number of literature on land use optimization, a little investigation is made to …

Under the notion of sustainable development, a heuristic method named as the Boundary-
based Fast Genetic Algorithm (BFGA) is developed to search for optimal solutions to a land …

A spatial multi-objective land use optimization model defined by the acronym 'NSGA-II-
MOLU'or the 'non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II for multi-objective optimization of …

Abstract Urban Growth Boundaries (UGBs) are a tool to control urban sprawl. However, the
way to optimize future urban land uses and fix their boundaries is not clear. This paper …

This article discusses spatial optimization in geography, focusing on contributions of
geographers in explicit geographical contexts. An overview of spatial optimization is given …

In this paper, we examine the applicability of spatial optimization as a generative modelling
technique for sustainable land‐use allocation. Specifically, we test whether spatial …

The rational land use allocation is of great significance to the construction of low-carbon
cities. The optimization model of land use allocation is an important tool that helps urban …

The study of production–living–ecological space (PLES) is essential for the sustainable use
of land resources and regional socioeconomic development, and several studies have …
