This book was released on 2006 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kane County is located on the western fringe of the greater Chicago metropolitan area. Development pressures there have caused rapid increases in land consumption and property values. The county's Forest Preserve District is actively purchasing land for conservation, but it is important to understand fully the long-term costs associated with specific conservation goals. We created 18 future scenarios to identify costs associated with acquisition, restoration, and long-term maintenance of conservation lands in Kane County. We evaluated these scenarios through a framework for alternative futures modeling in ArcGIS 9.0 that accounted for urban growth as well as conservation suitability based on predetermined acquisition goals. Long-term costs were found to be less in areas of the county with more available land compared to scenarios which included areas where initial acquisition costs were higher. Additionally, by focusing on these areas it is possible to build larger core reserves. The results of our project will foster explicit consideration of the long-term costs associated with conservation strategies in Kane County, Illinois, as well as similarly urbanizing areas in the United States.

Download or read book Growing Populations Changing Landscapes written by National Academy of Sciences and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-06-12 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world's population exceeds an incredible 6 billion people, governmentsâ€"and scientistsâ€"everywhere are concerned about the prospects for sustainable development. The science academies of the three most populous countries have joined forces in an unprecedented effort to understand the linkage between population growth and land-use change, and its implications for the future. By examining six sites ranging from agricultural to intensely urban to areas in transition, the multinational study panel asks how population growth and consumption directly cause land-use change, and explore the general nature of the forces driving the transformations. Growing Populations, Changing Landscapes explains how disparate government policies with unintended consequences and globalization effects that link local land-use changes to consumption patterns and labor policies in distant countries can be far more influential than simple numerical population increases. Recognizing the importance of these linkages can be a significant step toward more effective environmental management.
Download or read book Analysis of Urban Growth and Sprawl from Remote Sensing Data written by Basudeb Bhatta and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-03 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive discussion on urban growth and sprawl, and how they can be analyzed using remote sensing imageries. It compiles views of numerous researchers that help in understanding the urban growth and sprawl; their patterns, process, causes, consequences, and countermeasures; how remote sensing data and geographic information system techniques can be used in mapping, monitoring, measuring, analyzing, and simulating the urban growth and sprawl and what are the merits and demerits of available methods and models. This book will be of value for the scientists and researchers engaged in urban geographic research, especially using remote sensing imageries. This book will serve as a rigours literature review for them. Post graduate students of urban geography or urban/regional planning may refer this book as additional studies. This book may help the academicians for preparing lecture notes and delivering lectures. Industry professionals may also be benefited from the discussed methods and models along with numerous citations.
