A Hybrid FMCDM Approach for the Evaluation and Selection of Homestays.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Due to the beautiful rural scenery, rural tourism has gradually become a popular trend as affected by urbanization in Taiwan. The purpose of this study is to develop an objective and systematic evaluation model for homestay selection in Taiwan. Speci...

Determination of impervious area of Saroor Nagar Watershed of Telangana using spectral indices, MLC, and machine learning (SVM) techniques.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Urbanization affects the local wind and water cycle by changing the natural surface and atmospheric conditions, which further changes the local climate and climate system. Assessment of built-up-area changes in a rapidly growing urban area within a s...

Applying State-of-the-Art Deep-Learning Methods to Classify Urban Cities of the Developing World.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper shows the efficacy of a novel urban categorization framework based on deep learning, and a novel categorization method customized for cities in the global south. The proposed categorization method assesses urban space broadly on two dimens...

Modeling the response of ecological service value to land use change through deep learning simulation in Lanzhou, China.

The Science of the total environment
Land use (LU) changes caused by urbanization, climate, and anthropogenic activities alter the supply of ecosystem services (ES), which affects the ecological service value (ESV) of a given region. Existing LU simulation models extract neighborhood ef...

The Analysis of the Urban Sprawl Measurement System of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, Based on Deep Learning and Neural Network Algorithm.

International journal of environmental research and public health
In the context of rapid urbanization, the spread of cities in the Yangtze River Economic Belt is intensifying, which has an impact on the green and sustainable development of these cities. It is necessary to establish an accurate urban sprawl measure...

Spatiotemporal dynamics of urbanization and cropland in the Nile Delta of Egypt using machine learning and satellite big data: implications for sustainable development.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
The Nile Delta of Egypt is increasingly facing sustainability threats, due to a combination of nature- and human-induced changes in land cover and land use. In this paper, an analysis of big time series data from remotely sensed satellite images and ...

An Integrated Fuzzy AHP and Fuzzy TOPSIS Approach to Assess Sustainable Urban Development in an Emerging Economy.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Sustainable urban development (SUD) requires a balance between economic growth, social well-being, and environmental protection. Oftentimes, urban policy makers can hardly fulfill all SUD goals due to inadequacy of resources to support SUD programs. ...

Land surface temperature estimating in urbanized landscapes using artificial neural networks.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Scenario-based land surface temperature (LST) modeling is a powerful tool for adopting proper urban land use planning policies. In this study, using greater Isfahan as a case study, the artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm was utilized to explor...

Transition index maps for urban growth simulation: application of artificial neural networks, weight of evidence and fuzzy multi-criteria evaluation.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
Transition index maps (TIMs) are key products in urban growth simulation models. However, their operationalization is still conflicting. Our aim was to compare the prediction accuracy of three TIM-based spatially explicit land cover change (LCC) mode...

Deep learning architecture for air quality predictions.

Environmental science and pollution research international
With the rapid development of urbanization and industrialization, many developing countries are suffering from heavy air pollution. Governments and citizens have expressed increasing concern regarding air pollution because it affects human health and...
