Land use/land cover change and its impact on surface urban heat island and urban thermal comfort in a metropolitan city

Shahfahad et al.

Summary: This research analyzed the impact of land use/land cover change on urban heat island intensity and thermal comfort in Delhi from 1991 to 2018 using Landsat datasets and geographically weighted regression. The findings show that the increase in built-up area has led to higher surface temperature and urban heat island intensity, resulting in decreased thermal comfort in the city.

Analysing Process and Probability of Built-Up Expansion Using Machine Learning and Fuzzy Logic in English Bazar, West Bengal

Tanmoy Das et al.

Summary: Using Landsat satellite images and machine learning, this study investigated the process and probability of urban expansion in the English Bazar Block of West Bengal, India. Results showed an increase in urban areas, and a decrease in vegetation and water bodies. This research can help decision-makers formulate strategic urban growth management plans.

Peri-Urbanization and Land Use Fragmentation in Mexico City. Informality, Environmental Deterioration, and Ineffective Urban Policy

Adrian Guillermo Aguilar et al.

Summary: This article provides an updated analysis of the dynamics of urban expansion and land-use changes in the southern periphery of Mexico City. It highlights the reinforcement of a socially segregated and environmentally unsustainable model of urban fragmentation. The article also points out the failure of the local government to address the needs of the poor and protect ecological conservation areas, resulting in further social inequalities.

Earthquake and flood resilience through spatial Planning in the complex urban system

Sujata Kodag et al.

Summary: This paper explores the relationship between spatial planning and the resilience of urban communities in the face of earthquakes and floods. Through evaluating the earthquake and flood resilience in Pune, India, it is found that spatial planning plays a significant role in determining community resilience. Economically weaker households are more vulnerable to disaster risks due to their limited accessibility to resources, leading to reduced resilience in the city.

The coupling curve between urbanization and the eco-environment: China's urban agglomeration as a case study

Chuanglin Fang et al.

Summary: The study proposed the Urbanization-EKC (UEKC) hypothesis based on Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) theory, which suggests that eco-environment quality first deteriorates and then improves in the process of urbanization. Empirical analysis of 19 Chinese urban agglomerations found heterogeneous coupling curves between urbanization and eco-environment, with a U-shaped trend. In five mega-urban agglomerations, the turning point for eco-environmental quality improvement was identified at an urbanization rate of 47%.

Monitoring and Forecasting of Urban Expansion Using Machine Learning-Based Techniques and Remotely Sensed Data: A Case Study of Gharbia Governorate, Egypt

Eman Mostafa et al.

Summary: Rapid population growth in Egypt is driving accelerating urban sprawl into agricultural lands, particularly in regions with no desert for expansion. This study utilizes machine learning and remote sensing to analyze historical land-use/land-cover changes over 27 years and predict future trends, revealing a rapid urbanization trend diminishing agricultural land. Unplanned urbanization negatively impacts environmental and socioeconomic factors, highlighting the need for alternative policies to reduce this urban sprawl.

Assessment of exposed elements in a changing built environment by using an integrated model of debris flow initiation and runout (Kalimpong region, Himalaya)

Somnath Bera et al.

Summary: This study aims to develop a debris flow susceptibility assessment in the Kalimpong region (Himalaya, India) by integrating the initiation and runout areas, and analyze the changes in exposed elements for different susceptibility zones between 2006 and 2018. The logistic regression model for debris flow initiation showed an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.88, while the Flow-R model for runout assessment produced a model with a true positive rate of 86.6% for the whole area. The final debris flow susceptibility model integrates initiation and runout areas, showing significant changes in buildings, roads, and agricultural land within the susceptible areas during the studied period.

Modeling fragmentation probability of land-use and land-cover using the bagging, random forest and random subspace in the Teesta River Basin, Bangladesh

Swapan Talukdar et al.

Summary: The study focuses on using a multi-model ensemble model including RF and RSS algorithms to simulate the fragmentation probability of LULC in the Teesta River Basin in Bangladesh, revealing an increase in agricultural area and a decrease in water bodies and barren lands from 2010 to 2019. Sensitivity analysis shows that the number of patches significantly influences the fragmentation probability model.

Analysis of Land Use and Land Cover Change Using Time-Series Data and Random Forest in North Korea

Yong Piao et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the trend of forest restoration in North Korea from 2001 to 2018 using a time-series LULC map and Landsat multi-temporal imagery. The research revealed that forests in the southern and central regions of North Korea are undergoing restoration, and the extended sampling method improved the accuracy of forest change assessment. Monitoring the change trend of North Korea forests is crucial for regional environmental management and ecological security.

Forest Land Cover Mapping at a Regional Scale Using Multi-Temporal Sentinel-2 Imagery and RF Models

Laura Alonso et al.

Summary: Advancements in open-access satellite imagery have significantly improved land cover mapping techniques in recent decades, with the successful use of multi-temporal data being a key factor. A newly developed methodology was tested in the region of Galicia, resulting in a high accuracy land cover map to fulfill forestry sector mapping needs.

Indices based assessment of built-up density and urban expansion of fast growing Surat city using multi-temporal Landsat data sets

Shahfahad et al.

Summary: The study shows that the population and built-up area of Surat are increasing rapidly, with the built-up area growing at a faster rate than the population. There is a very strong positive correlation between population density and built-up area, and a moderate positive correlation between population distribution and built-up area. Therefore, while the growth rates of population and urban area may not be identical, there are strong relationships between their distribution and density.
