A relevant issue in Remote Sensing (RS) and GIS is related to the analysis and the characterization of Land Use Land Cover (LULC) changes, very useful for a wide range of environmental applications and to efficiently undertake landscape planning and management policies. The methodology described has been applied to a case-study conducted in the area of the Province of Avellino (Southern Italy). Firstly, aerial photos and Landsat imagery have been classified to produce LULC maps for a fifty-year period (1954÷2004). Then, through a GIS approach, change detection and spatiotemporal analysis has been integrated to characterize LULC dynamics, focusing on the urban-rural gradient. This study has shown that LULC patterns and their changes are linked to both natural and social processes whose driving role has been clearly demonstrated: after the disastrous Irpinia earthquake (1980), local specific zoning laws and urban plans have significantly addressed landscape changes.

Land Use and Land Cover change monitoring of Surajpur Wetland, Uttar Pradesh:...Arnab Saha
Abstract:
Wetlands are extremely important areas throughout the world for wildlife protection, recreation, sediment control and flood prevention. Wetlands are important bird’s habitats and birds use them for feeding, roosting, nesting and rearing their young. In Surajpur Wetland are mainly used for agriculture, fisheries, reclamation for harboring and irrigation purposes. In this paper an attempt is made to study the changes in land use and land cover in Surajpur wetland area over 11 years’ period (2003-2014). LULC is an important component in understanding the interactions of the human activities with the environment and thus it is necessary to be able to simulate changes. The land cover mapping of study area was attempted using remotely sensed images of Landsat and Google Earth imagery. The study area was classified into five categories on the basis of field study, geographical conditions, and remote sensing data. LULC changes have been detected by image processing method in EDRAS imagine 2014 and ArcGIS 10.3. The eleven years’ time period of 2003-2014 shows the major type of land use change. Vegetation area that occupied about around 60 per cent of the Surajpur wetland area in 2003 has decreased to 34.25 percent in 2014. Wetland is increased 8.17 percent and Urban area, Fallow land and Water body also have experienced change. Finally, through the work it is recommended that the wetlands need detail mapping through the use of advance remote sensing techniques like microwave and LIDAR for restoration and management of wetland.

Poster presented at Esri EMEA (Europe, Middle East And Africa) USER CONFERENCE 2010. Rome, October 26–28 2010
The development of the urban areas is able to transform landscapes formed by rural into urban life styles and to make functional changes, from a morphological and structural point of view. Historically, urban expansion (driven by the population increase) has typically take place on former agricultural use.
A multi-temporal image dataset has been analyzed to identify the changing pattern of Land Cover (LC) during a fifty-year period (1954÷2004).
Using the analysis tools of ArcGIS, the results have been synthesized into maps of LC changes, in order to characterize the respective dynamics.
Temporal trend analysis and landscape metrics have been integrated, using ArcGIS and specific extensions: such approach has allowed to characterize landscape patterns through significant indices and to understand the changes therein.
Land Consumption, Ecosystem Services and Urban Planning Policies: Preliminary...IEREK Press
In the contemporaneity, the issues of land or soil consumption and of the protection of areas that, within the urban areas, provide ecosystem services (ESs) is becoming increasingly important also in relationof the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The concept of "Ecosystem Service" appears, in this respect, a fruitful support to define the land consumption effects on the loss of functionality and of settlement quality. Following this considerations the paper presents the first results of a research developed in Tuscany and commissioned by the Regional Government. The research aims to measure the loss of ESs in connection with land use / land cover transformations, and to verify the contribution of soil consumption to these variations. The research use methodologies for elaborating of the geographical data required for territorial governance, LUCL 2010/2016 and Land Cover Flow (LCF) model and the theoretical model of the “Capacity matrix” to provide ecosystem services.

Analysis of urban expansion and perspective for future monitoring” (Medio siglo de cambios de uso del suelo en Andalucía. Sellado de suelos. Análisis de la expansión urbana y perspectiva para un futuro seguimiento).
Presentato all'interno del workshop "Scenari e tendenze dell’agricoltura italiana tra tradizione ed innovazione", il lavoro sottolinea l’importanza e la complessità delle relazioni fra le zone urbane e rurali che sono alla base delle difficoltà nella loro delimitazione territoriale. Le grandi variazioni demografiche, nel medio e lungo periodo (1961-2010), mettono in evidenza un forte intreccio di relazioni fra le zone urbane, periurbane e rurali che cambiano nel tempo e nello spazio. Nelle zone rurali la forte riduzione delle aziende agricole si accompagna ad una forte diminuzione della superficie soprattutto nelle zone collinari e montane. La possibile riconciliazione o partnership fra zone urbane e rurali passano dalla messa a disposizione di cibi sicuri e di qualità, dalla creazione di beni pubblici e utilizzazione delle risorse, fino alla fornitura di beni e servizi nelle zone rurali.
The work emphasizes the importance and the complexity of the relationships between the urban and rural areas, that determine also of the difficulties in their territorial delimitation. The major demographic changes in the medium and long term (1961-2010), highlighting a strong network of relationships between urban, peri-urban and rural areas, that change over time and space. In rural areas the sharp reduction of farms is accompanied by a sharp decrease of agricultural land, mainly in hilly and mountainous areas. The possible reconciliation or partnership between urban and rural areas pass from the provision of safe food and quality, the creation of public goods (greening cities and green parks) and resources safeguard (soil and water), up to the supply of services in rural areas.
Evaluate deficiencies and shortages for the Libyan Residential Urban Planning...journal ijrtem
ABSTRACT: The change in human society and the population increase in Surman citypopulation has led to an increase in environmental problems and the increasing depletion of resources and natural resources and non-optimal use of land. This has led to the disparity in the distribution of services, functions, lack of recreational areas, green areas, playgrounds, and other services. Surman City scheme suffers from many problems, particularly the spread of housing projects. This has to be reconsidered in the ways of development and the urban environment of the city planning. Sustainable urban planning is one of the most important ways and strategies that can be followed for a diaper on Surman city scheme and preserves the rights of future generations to live in urban and convenient style. The purpose of this research evaluation of residential areas Surman city scheme to know shortages and deficiencies of the scheme of the city and their suitability for the planning of an urban sustainability using Arc (GIS) technology. It isimportant means in the fields of life, especially the areas of sustainable urban planning where they can be utilized in the analysis and conclusions, as well as future studies accurately and fast. The study found out that appropriate measurable indicators can be relied upon to develop design criteria for residential that will help to achieve a sustainable urban plan during the preparation of urban schemes or develop existing schemes.

Current poster presents an example of Landsat TM image processing using ENVI GIS. Research area: Taipei, Taiwan. Located on the north of the island, Taipei is Taiwan’s core urban, political and economic center; population >2.6 M continuing to expand affecting urban landscapes. Research aim: spatio- temporal analysis of urban dynamics in study area during 15 years (1990- 2005) Research objective: application of GIS methodology and remote sens- ing data to spatial analysis for a case study of Taipei. Data: Landsat TM images taken from the USGS. Software: ENVI GIS. Workflow includes following steps: 1) Preliminary processing 2) Creation color composites 3) Classification using K-means algorithm 4) Mapping using classification results 5) Accuracy assessment. The preliminary data processing includes image contrast stretching, which is useful as by default, ENVI displays images with a 2\% linear contrast stretch. For better contrast the histogram equalization contrast stretch was applied to the image in order to enhance the visual quality. The analysis of landscape changes was performed by geospatial analysis. 2 satellite images Landsat TM were processed and classified using ENVI GIS. Result of classification: areas occupied by different land cover types were calculated and analyzed. It has been detected that different parts of the city of Taipei were developing with different rate and intensity. 3 different residential types of the city were recognized and mapped. The results demonstrated following outcomes: 1) intensive urban development of the city of Taipei; 2) decline of green areas and natural spaces and, on the contrary, increase in anthropogenic urban spaces; 3) not parallel urban development in different districts of the city of Taipei during the 15-year period of 1990-2005.

ANALYSIS OF LAND USE LAND COVER CHANGE OF BANEPA FROM REDD PERSPECTIVE(1991-2...SUJAN GHIMIRE
The Banepa Municipality's variations in land use and land cover are examined in this paper. In
particular, it makes an effort to study the spatial pattern of land use and land cover changes over
time within the municipality. The paper deals with the effects of LULC change on the local climate,
the accessibility of open space, and integration with the REDD approach. The relationship between
climate change and the significance of REDD implementation is well-explained in the paper.
Without using a systematic model, an analysis of the growing built-up area in relation to
transportation, carbon emissions, the decline of the carbon sink caused by less forest cover, and a
comparison of the land cover classes over the three-decade period from 1991 to the present are
presented and discussed. Use of satellite imagery in the spatial analysis to integrate land cover land
use with another domain (climate) is focused in the paper.

Geomatics: soil consuming risk in renewable energy plants installation Maurizio Pollino
As indicated in the 2009/28/EC Directive of the European Parliament and Council, ambitious energy and climate change objectives for 2020 have been stated: greenhouse gas emissions reduction for 20%, renewable energy increase for 20%, improvement in energy efficiency for 20%.
Types and "forms" of intervention on the territory, to produce energy from renewables, appear to be multiple and certainly comparable to infrastructure "linear and areal" of anthropogenic nature. It follows that, also for this purpose, the "environment consumption” is one of the main phenomena found at different levels, which add to the already growing soil consumption in our country.
Starting from this consciousness, research of potential and actual impacts, due to the installation for energy production from renewable sources, in a modern land management, must focus on assessing the landscape ecology. A significant problem for some types of plants, mainly those solar and wind power, is the need to install the devices in the environment, with possible negative effects in terms of visual impact and soil consuming. Careful planning to individuate the less invasive and less “visible” plants integration" could reduce the problem, but certainly not eliminate it. It is therefore extremely important to define what weight can have different impacts on the environment, however, considering all possible options.

Abstract:
L’utilizzo delle tecniche di Telerilevamento, unitamente con GIS e metriche del paesaggio, è di fondamentale supporto per la mappatura della copertura del suolo e l’analisi multitemporale dei cambiamenti occorsi. In questo contesto, viene descritto il caso di studio relativo all’area della Conca di Avellino. Per studiare i cambiamenti nell’uso del suolo verificatisi nell’arco di un cinquantennio (1954÷2004), è stato processato un dataset multitemporale di foto aree (1954) e immagini Landsat (MSS 1975, TM 1985 e 1993, ETM+ 2004). I risultati hanno permesso di analizzare le dinamiche di matrice naturale e antropica intervenute nel territorio, molte delle quali legate agli strumenti urbanistici varati dopo il terremoto dell’Irpinia dell’80.

In this presentation, a seismic vulnerability assessment at large scale is described, within the SIMURAI project. A field survey was carried out in order to gather detailed information about geometric characteristics, structural typology and age of construction of each single building. An airborne Remote Sensing (RS) mission was also carried out over the municipality of Avellino, providing a detailed estimate of 3D geometric parameters of buildings through a quite fast and easy to apply methodology integrating active LIDAR technology, aerophotogrammetry and GIS techniques. An analytical seismic vulnerability assessment procedure for Reinforced Concrete buildings is illustrated and applied to the building stock considering (i) field survey data (assumed as a reference) and (ii) LIDAR data combined with census data as alternative sources of information, according to a multilevel approach. A comparison between the obtained results highlights an acceptable scatter when data provided by RS techniques are used.

Presented at "Computational Science and Its Applications - ICCSA 2011 International Conference", Santander, Spain, June 20-23, 2011.
The recent advances in geo-informatics have been opening new opportunities in earthquake early warning and emergency management issues. In the last years, the geo-scientific community has recognized the added value of a geo-analytic approach in complex decision making processes for critical situations due to disastrous natural events such as earthquakes. In fact, recently, GIS-based solutions are investigated in several research projects such as SIT_MEW Project, aimed at the development of volcanic and seismic early warning systems (EWSs). In this project context, an innovative open source GIS system has been investigated and developed as integrated component of the seismic EWS. Its architecture consists in a geospatial database system, a local GIS application for analyzing and modelling the seismic event and its impacts and supporting post-event emergency management, a WEB-GIS module for sharing the geo-information among the public and private stakeholders and emergency managers involved in disaster impact assessment and response management.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

33. The relationships between demographic and physical feature with the urban sprawl phenomenon have been analysed: these factors can outline some aspects of urbanisation.
34. The results confirm the capability of multi-temporal RS data to provide accurate and cost-effective tools to understand LULC changes, through detailed spatiotemporal analysis.
35. This approach, applicable to studies at various locations, can be used to improve land management policies and decisions. Moreover, it represents a valid contribution to land-use planning, especially considering the necessity to cope with matters related to the sustainable urban development.
36. Finally, mapping periodically the structure of urban growth and the LULC changes via GIS spatial analysis,is useful to forecast future development (e.g. to monitor and to assess the effectiveness of planning policies).
37. The analysis of urban-rural fringe areas (dynamics and evolution) represents one of the future research directions utilising, among others, VHR satellite images and very detailed digital cartography as reference data.24
