This study examines the relative influence of different land-use types as well as environmental resources (trees, flowering trees, fruiting trees, shrubs, telecommunication mast, pylons, electric poles, buildings) on bird diversity indicators in a rapidly developing urban settlement in Ghana. Remote ...
Each type of settlement also has its advantages and disadvantages. The four main types are: urban, rural, compact, and dispersed. Urban Settlements Urban settlements, or urbanized areas, are the most populated of the settlement types and usually consist of the largest land area. Urban areas are...
Some populations, e.g., the displaced, often reside on lands outside towns and cities, contributing to rural settlement patterns. Rural areas are vast land spaces with a few houses or buildings and an equally fewer number of people. Rural areas have fewer infrastructural systems than urban ...
The concentrations of the sixteen United States Environmental Protection Agency polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were determined in dusts from different land-use types in Benin City by means of gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The results obtained were used to assess the ecological and human...
High synergy is distributed in Yongzhou, Huaihua, Xiangxi cities, etc. Besides, only Hecheng City belongs to the higher synergy. 2) This paper proposes corresponding development paths for different development characteristics and main problems from multiple perspectives of the protection system, ...
(2) Suitability zoning is conducted using the minimal cumulative resistance model to consider the suitability of land use in rural residential areas under the constraints of an ecological environment. In accordance with zoning results, the suitable construction area, buffer zone, and ecological ...
Referring to the manifold studies and the long-term experiences of the restoration of near-natural ecosystems and traditional land-use types, respectively, examples from all over the world are outlined. Additionally to rewilding as a progressive approach to nature conservation, letting nature take care...
In this study we take vague spatial areas defined by the basically economic concept of megaregions and analyze their respective settlement patterns. We use the settlement pattern as proxy to analyze spatial connectivity between the main urban hubs spanning a megaregion. We are aware that settlement ...
In urban areas that have a high percentage of land covered by roofs, streets, and parking lots, rain and melting snow rapidly run off into lakes and rivers through drainageways and storm sewers. This urban runoff may contain nonpoint-source pollutants such as trash, pet wastes, lawn fertilize...
