The combined use of the two types of data can improve the knowledge of land use patterns. For instance, Hu et al. (2016) have developed a protocol to generate a fine-resolution land use map of Beijing, China, from urban parcels by using POI data, OpenStreetMap, and Landsat data. ...
Here, we aimed to produce a highly accurate land cover map of a large patch of polar desert surrounding the Canadian Forces Station Alert on Ellesmere Island (Nunavut, Canada) for future use in wildlife habitat assessment and ecological monitoring. This was necessary to bring the Department of ...
Wildfire risk assessment can be enhanced in future research by using ignition location modeling or similar techniques to align future wildfire with shifts in population, especially as population changes align with changing vegetation and/or land use/land cover types. In addition, crop and forestry los...
In addition, urban Southeast Asia usually has inadequate capacities in drainage systems, complicated land use patterns, and a large vulnerable population in limited urban areas. To reduce the urban flood risk and enhance the resilience of vulnerable urban communities, it has been of essential ...
