the technology of geographic information systems (GIS) has been used to map the existing urban system and to project the consequences of changes. In the late 20th century the termsustainable developmentcame to represent an ideal outcome in the sum of all planning goals. As advocated by the Unit...

Land use and land cover (LULC) changes resulting from rapid urbanization are the foremost causes of increases in land surface temperature (LST) in urban areas. Exploring the impact of LULC changes on the spatiotemporal patterns of LST under future climate change scenarios is critical for sustainabl...
information, including different road types, road speed limits, etc., and then assessed the accessibility using the path analysis module in the GIS, which revealed the complex network characteristics of the transport road network and the transport connection spatial characteristics of accessibility [25,...

A study among minority and marginalized residents in Houston (TX) corroborated such distributive justice issues over the quality of urban greenspace [57], as they overwhelmingly preferred park management to invest in quality improvement of existing parks rather than developing new parks. Clearly, ...

Further research is needed in regard to the indirect effects of service disruptions caused by pluvial flooding. Municipalities are entitled to govern their own territory only, which automatically limits the ability of urban actors to consider these kinds of effects, which may cause impact elsewhere in...
It is the central city of the Central Plains urban agglomeration, an important node city in the Zheng–Bian–Luo Industrial Corridor, and one of the most representative cities in urban development in China. Figure 1. The location map of Zhengzhou. ...
(e.g., building, conservation, park). Land-cover changes are usually determined by interpreting multi-period satellite images or remote-sensed data assisted by spatial analysis tools such as GIS (Geographical Information System) for map overlaying [5,6]; this is cost-effective and thus suitable...
