Modeling spatial patterns of urban-rural landscape using landscape metrics and ecological quality index
Quantifying spatial landscape patterns along urban-rural gradients is crucial for understanding urbanization's impacts on ecosystem structure and function. This study presents an integrated framework assessing land use patterns and ecological quality in the Greater Isfahan region, Iran. A novel direction-specific Ecological Quality Index (EQI) for green cover is introduced to describe spatial patterns of urban expansion and associated ecological …
Using a system dynamics approach to achieve synergy between tourism and conservation
This paper developed a system dynamics model for achieving synergy between conservation and tourism at a mountainous landscape in Fereydounshahr, Iran. The model consisted of four subsystems, including: conservation, tourism, local people and economics. It utilized a comprehensive approach of tourism modelling, in contrast with traditional ones that rely only on historical data. For the first time, different types of visitors and their needs were…
Spatiotemporal analysis of land surface temperature dynamics and biophysical influences across diverse climatic zones in Iranian cities
Past and potential future distribution of white mangroves in an arid estuarine environment
Assessing ecotourism in a mountainous landscape using GIS – MCDA approaches
A hybrid GIS-OWA and Danp method for the identification and evaluation of ecotourism attractions
The fate of rangelands
Land serves as a vital production resource, and therefore land planning plays an important role in sustainable land‐use design. Iran includes large areas of the world's drylands, many of which are used as rangelands, and where the population has increased by 60% from 1985 to 2016. Further population increase in Iran would probably require more land resources to be allocated for human needs. However, the pace and patterns of these changes remain u…
Human and Climate Effects on the Hamoun Wetlands
Negative impacts of climate change on ecosystems have been increasing, and both the intensification and the mitigation of these impacts are strongly linked with human activities. Management and reduction of human-induced disturbances on ecosystems can mitigate the effects of climate change and enhance the ecosystem recovery process. Here, we investigate coupled human and climate effects on the wetland ecosystem of the lower Helmand basin from 197…
Scenario-based analysis of land-use competition in central Iran
Evaluating the spatial effectiveness of alternative urban growth scenarios in protecting cropland resources
Degradation of natural habitats by roads
Evaluating the strategy of integrated urban-rural planning system and analyzing its effects on land surface temperature in a rapidly developing region
