Abstract Spatial and temporal information on urban infrastructure is essential and requires various land-cover/land-use planning and management applications. Besides, a change in infrastructure has a direct impact on other land-cover and climatic conditions. This study assessed changes in the rate and spatial distribution of Peshawar district’s infrastructure and its effects on Land Surface Temperature (LST) during the years 1996 and 2019. For this purpose, firstly, satellite images of bands7 and 8 ETM+(Enhanced Thematic Mapper) plus and OLI (Operational Land Imager) of 30 m resolution were taken. Secondly, for classification and image processing, remote sensing (RS) applications… More >

Abstract The rapid development of urbanization has led to a rapid increase in total energy consumption. The proportion of domestic energy consumption to total energy consumption has gradually increased and has become the major driving force for energy consumption. With the pressure from urbanization and domestic energy consumption, it is necessary to study the impact of urbanization on domestic energy consumption of the regional level and to explore the function paths of these two factors. The findings are helpful to realize sustainable development based on the actual situation analysis, horizontal survey data and statistical yearbook panel… More >

Abstract The urbanization rate of Nanjing has increased in the past 55 years. Its development process can be roughly divided into the reverse urbanization phase, the stagnant development phase, the recovery development phase, the steady development phase, and the accelerated development phase. The area of cultivated land has a decreasing trend at each stage. In 1971 and beyond, urbanization development had a significant negative effect on the area of cultivated land, and the coordination between the two was not high and there was a downward trend. More >
