Agent-Based Urban Land Markets: Agent's Pricing Behavior, Land Prices and Urban Land Use Change. [PDF]

J. Artif. Soc. Soc. Simul., 2009
We present a new bilateral agent-based land market model, which moves beyond previous work by explicitly modeling behavioral drivers of land-market transactions on both the buyer and seller sides; formation of bid prices (of buyers) and ask prices (of sellers); and the relative division of the gains from trade from the market transactions.

A new bare-soil index for rapid mapping developing areas using LANDSAT 8 data [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2014
One of the most basic classification tasks is to distinguish bare-soil areas from urban region. Bare-soil plays an important role in the ecosystem. It could be the reason of dust storms and the indicator of urban expansion.

Urban land teleconnections and sustainability [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2012
This paper introduces urban land teleconnections as a conceptual framework that explicitly links land changes to underlying urbanization dynamics. We illustrate how three key themes that are currently addressed separately in the urban sustainability and land change literatures can lead to incorrect conclusions and misleading results when they are not ...
