Land Use and Land Cover Change (LUCC) represents the interaction between human
societies and the natural environment. Studies of LUCC simulation allow for the analysis of …

Deforestation as a land-cover change process is linked to several environmental problems
including desertification, biodiversity loss, and ultimately climate change. Understanding the …

Most existing cellular automata (CA) models impose strict requirements on the number and
spatial distribution of samples. This makes it a challenge to capture spatial heterogeneity in …

Cellular automata (CA) have been prevalently used for the simulation of urban land change.
However, how to effectively learn the spatial-temporal dynamics of urban development from …

Several complex dynamic spatial systems are operating on the global scale. Their
representation with existing geosimulation models is limited to planar level and do not …

Since a solution towards carbon neutrality in already highly populated territories that does
not profoundly alter the territories has not yet been found, territorial acupuncture, a new …

This thesis has been written to obtain the master degrees in Architecture, Building &
Planning and in Construction Management and Engineering. Writing this master thesis …

Introduction Currently, many scientific evidences indicate a strong correlation between the
earth's surface and its functional features and coverage in cells. Various patterns of …

Knowledge of future land use changes is crucial, as they are interlinked to various factors of
humanenvironmental systems. Spatial data can often be computationally heavy, so the …
