The population and urbanization of Morocco are increasing very rapidly. They have risenin large cities due to heavy immigration rate from rural areas to accessjob opportunities, better education, and better health facilities. Casablanca has the most affected land use changes in Morocco because of the immigration. This paper presents anintegrated study of land use change in this city from 1986 until 2011 using topographic map sheets (1986) and satellite image (2011). The layers of landuse map (1986) were obtainedby digitization technique in ARCGIS 9.3 software. Supervised classification methodology has been employed using maximum likelihood technique in ERDAS IMAGINE (2011) to extract from the satellite image four classes which were categorized into, built-up area, public green spaces, agricultural land and water bodies. The totalarea of each class was estimated by using geometry tools of ArcGISsoftware to compare land use changes between 1986 and 2011.

The cost to construct the transmission line along this corridor would be between $41-68 million. Some limitations of the analysis include difficulties distinguishing homes from other structures in aerial imagery.
The document summarizes research on the geomorphology and soils of Cul de Sac Valley in Haiti. Field work and digital soil mapping techniques were used to create a new detailed soil map. The map identified 11 soil map units aggregated from 3 major geomorphic units: dissected alluvial fans, hills, and flat plains. The soils were influenced by marine deposits and limestone bedrock, resulting in high carbonate and sodium levels throughout the profiles. The new soil map improved on existing maps by better representing the relationships between soils and geomorphology in the valley.
The research paper deals with the method of forming an information system for
mining areas management on the basis of conducting comprehensive monitoring and
maintaining a cadastre of mining areas (MAs). Ensuring security and safe living
conditions of the population when using such areas, especially in the interests of
future generations, is a priority as-pect of their sustainable development. Extraction
of minerals is accompanied by active transformation and destruction of the earth’s
surface, which leads to the formation of specific mining landscapes that have a
significant impact on the sus-tainable development of such areas. The objective of this
study is to provide information management of the sustainable development of
landscapes of mining areas based on the formation of an integrated information
system for monitoring these areas and the development of cadastral works of the

Prototype Global Coding of Political Geographies for Library and Data Managem...Tom Christoffel
Abstract
Regional geographic analysis in the United States is constrained by the alphabetic FIPS codes which were assigned in the 1960’s. Base codes were assigned alphabetically for states, then alphabetically for counties and comparable geographies within states, making it simple to lookup individual state or county data in a list, but offering no geographic information on proximity. Some regional aggregation was done in the establishment of Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA), which were separately coded. At the same time, there was no comparable national system to aggregate non-metropolitan counties into standard regions, although most states established some form of multi-county regional councils. Some, like Virginia, used sub-state districts for data aggregation and use by other State agencies, allowing the region number to act like a FIPS code that also embedded geographic information.
The author began work in 1998 on the issue. A review of other national and international systems led to the conclusion that a global geocode system was needed, since existing formats were based on the alphabetic approach which could be handled by early computing. Economists Jeffery Sachs and James K. Galbraith have expressed interest in such a system, as Professor Sach opened his 2012 AAG address by saying that “economists think counties are arranged alphabetically on the globe, since that is the way the data appears.” The purpose of this paper is to present the prototype design for the purpose of further consideration by the user communities.
The system is based on a geocode scheme set up for earth that focuses on established political boundaries as a basis for regional grouping of nations, states and localities. It is decimal system based to take advantage of the sort criteria for numbers in computers. It utilized the Sector Group and Region codes of the United Nations and ISO. Geographic information system technology does not solve the problem, but its tools can be used with the geocodes.
The geocode system effectively organizes Wikipedia entries as a library management and the geocodes can be used for data aggregation. This has been developed under a Creative Commons license and would benefit from a global network implementation where local users cooperatively related subnational geographic regions and component political geography.

The document describes a regional planning initiative in the Miami Valley region of Ohio that developed a future regional growth framework map. The framework was created using a "wheels of the future" approach, which intersected data from different factors like development status, protected lands, urbanized areas, zoning, and land suitability studies to assign categories for future development, redevelopment, or preservation to census blocks. A geographic information system was used to compile and analyze the data from these factors and formulate scenarios to identify recommended solutions for a regional growth framework map to guide long-term strategic land development.

Phase II Scenarios Evaluation Review Meeting presentation 101410MVRPC
This document summarizes a meeting to review the land use scenario evaluation process for a regional planning effort. It outlines the agenda, which included an overview of the scenario building and assessment process, a tour of the scenario assessment tool, and preparations for upcoming public open houses. The process involved developing land use themes and scenarios, refining them based on workshops, conducting technical analyses to evaluate impacts, and sharing results at open houses. Workshops were held to gather input on preferred development areas and principles for each theme. Scenarios were then evaluated based on criteria like accessibility and land costs. Upcoming public outreach events were reviewed to gather additional feedback on preferred growth patterns for the region through 2040.
The survey summarized:
1) Gathered local planning documents from jurisdictions to compile a GIS database and understand local issues.
2) Most jurisdictions responded and provided comprehensive plans and GIS data.
3) The content analysis identified common strengths like parks and character, and challenges like land use and transportation across the region.
4) Land use and providing services were two major concerns reflected in local plans.
This transportation plan update document outlines a safety and congestion analysis of the current transportation system as well as alternative transportation modes for passengers and freight. It also includes a community impact assessment and projections for land use and socioeconomic factors.
The Census Bureau, in partnership with other federal and state agencies, produces data on employment and where employees live. The Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics program combines administrative data to provide a larger, more detailed data set on employment and workers' trips from home to work. The data derives primarily from unemployment insurance records, so it is important to note that not all jobs are counted. Examples of jobs not counted in this data set include military in uniform, self-employed workers, informally employed people, and postal employees.
This data set is compiled annually, although the latest release is for 2011. The information presented by MVRPC in these maps is based on the workplace, not the worker’s home. These maps are of all jobs, not just an employee’s primary job.

INTRODUCTION
The Miami Valley Regional Planning Commission (MVRPC) conducted the Miami Valley Open Space Assessment study in
order to develop a 2005 Open Space GIS database and examine the status of open space in the Region. The study is an update to
the 1993 Miami Valley Open Space Inventory database prepared for the Miami Valley Open Space Council and to the State of
the Region 2005 report that examined broad social, political, economic, and environmental issues of the Region, and recounted
the progress the Region has made over the years.
The Miami Valley Region
While the State of the Region 2005 report defined the Region to include eight (8)
counties in the Dayton Metropolitan area as illustrated in the map, the 2005 Miami
Valley Open Space Assessment study is based on the six (6) counties surveyed in the
1993 Open Space Inventory (Clark, Darke, Greene, Miami, Montgomery, Preble), as
well as the addition of the northern part of Warren County.
This report provides information on how the data was collected, the limitations that
exist within the study, and summarizes the findings from the study, providing
information on regional as well as county level statistics. Further, the 2005 statistics are
compared to the 1993 statistics in order to assess how the Region has changed over the
last 12 years.
OPEN SPACE DEFINITION
The definition of open space used in this study was adapted from the 1993 Open Space
Inventory. The main categories of land uses in the 2005 Open Space database, as seen in the table below, include: General
Outdoor Recreation Area, Outstanding Regional Amenity, Natural Environment Protection Area, Utilities, Open Space Link,
Natural Environment Recreation Area, School, Landfill/Mineral Extraction, Cemeteries, Historical Site/Museum, and Airfields.
It is important to note that the definition of open space in the study is very broad and ranges from areas that are active in nature,
such as parks and ball fields, to areas that are passive in nature such as wetlands preserves and flood control properties. Also, it
should be noted that the Open Space classification in this study does not include agricultural land use, which is prevalent in
some part of the Region.

For the purposes of this study, General Outdoor Recreation Area, Outstanding Regional Amenity, Natural Environment
Protection Area, Natural Environment Recreation Area, and Historical Sites/Museums have been grouped together as “Open
Space/Recreational Facilities.”
2. STUDY METHOD
MVRPC staff has been updating the 1993 Open Space Inventory since its original development. However, the updates were
made on an as-needed basis. In 2005, MVRPC initiated a comprehensive update of its Open Space database, at which time the
database was expanded to include northern Warren County.
Early in 2006, MVRPC hosted a one day workshop at its Center
for Regional Cooperation with representatives from local
governments, state agencies, and non-profit special interest groups
in the Region. The purpose of the workshop was to present the
results of the 2005 database update efforts and to seek further
information to finalize it. At the workshop, paper maps and open
space attribute information were made available at each work
station. A total of 62 people, representing 36 organizations, participated in the workshop. Participants were asked not only to
make corrections on the maps but also to provide missing attribute information. The data collected at the workshop were then
incorporated into the MVRPC 2005 Open Space Inventory GIS database.
Although the 2005 Open Space Inventory database is the most comprehensive in the Region, it is important to note that the
database is not completely accurate. This is due to the fact that the data was collected mainly from secondary sources,
supplemented by input from the participating organizations.
FINDINGS
The Miami Valley Region overall possesses 2,268 open space facilities with a total of 116,191.38 acres of open spaces, covering
6% of the total regional land area, averaging 92.7 acres of open space per 1,000 residents in the Region. The Region is also the
home of four State Parks (Buck Creek, John Bryan, Sycamore, and Caesar Creek) which encompass 16,410 acres.
Open Space/Recreational Facility areas account for 64% of all Regional open space acreage with 1,218 sites, followed by
landfills and mineral extraction (10% of acreage with 46 sites). The remaining 26% is divided among the other six open space
types, each comprising less than 10% of all Regional open space acreage.
The Regional map attached provides a spatial distribution of open spaces in the Region by types of open space sites. One of the
Region’s most valuable open space resources is the waterway network, as 28% of the Region’s total open space acreage is
within one quarter mile of a major river and 20% of all natural open space and recreational facilities are within one quarter mile
of a river. There are nearly 400 sites which create open space corridors along the rivers, and are an asset that the Region can
build upon in future open space planning.

3. A comparison of the data collected in 1993 and 2005 revealed that there was an increase of over 15,000 acres of open space, an
18.7% increase in the Region over the 12-year span. As illustrated in the table below, there was nearly a 50% increase in Open
Space links (49.2%) and over a 40% increase in areas dedicated to Utilities (41.3%).

Acreage
The chart on the right illustrates the 2005 open space acreage
per 1,000 persons by county. Despite the fact that
Montgomery County has significant open space acreage in
comparison to other counties, it was found to have the least
amount of open space acreage per 1,000 persons (65.9).
Preble County, on the other hand, was found to have the
highest amount of open space acreage per 1,000 persons
(230.4), followed by Warren County (192.3), which owes its
high acreage per 1,000 persons to the fact that Caesar Creek
State Park lies within the portion surveyed.

largest percent change in acreage (42%), while Montgomery County had the highest percent change in number of sites (36.8%).
Despite the fact that Clark County had a decrease in number of sites, it also had a 4.6% increase in acreage, due to growth of
existing sites.

Change in Agricultural Acreage: 1993-2005
The change in open space over the last 12 years need to be
reviewed in comparison to the agricultural land change since
recent development has been occurring outside the existing
urban areas in rural areas.

(in thousands)
Between 1993 and 2005, as shown on the chart, each county lost
significant amounts of agricultural land. The findings of net gain
in open space seem to be closely related to the urbanization of
agricultural land as certain portions of development become
designated as new open spaces. Since agricultural land use was
not included in the open space definition, the findings from this
study require careful attention from the perspective of the larger
land use context, considering prevalent land use types for each
county.

The Miami Valley Open Space Assessment study revealed that there has been an overall growing network of open spaces
throughout the Region for all open space categories over the last 12 years. Not only does total acreage appear to have increased,
but acreage per capita also appears to have increased significantly as well. Continuous efforts should be made to preserve
existing open spaces in the Region so that these valuable community assets are maintained as the Region progresses into the
future.
