Shadi Maleki, Abbas Mafi, Seyedeh Mahsa Hosseini



Today, as an essential part and parcel of urban
landscape that they play a major role in metabolism and create a lack of
serious damage to urban life. This study performed to investigate the
willingness of citizens to participate in activities to protect and
develop landscapeof Tehran district 4. The research was descriptive and
correlation method that is used for collecting information. The
statistical population consisted of district 4 of Tehran. The sample
size was determined 230 by using Cochrane method. A questionnaire was
used to collect data. According to the research, 63.04 percent of
citizens showed participation in a high level. Among the variables
investigated how citizen participation in conservation and development
of landscape, effective strategies to motivate citizens to
participate,the reasons for lack of cooperation and participation of
citizens learn about gardening and landscaping,introductory training
centers with the desire of citizens to participate in municipal plants
open landscape had a significant relationship and stepwise regression
analysis results showed that four variableseffective strategies to
motivate citizens to participate,method to involve citizens in the
landscape,the reasons for lack of cooperation and participation of

The Ecological Impacts of Light Pollution at Night-time a Mechanistic Appraisal

The Ecological Impacts of Light Pollution at Night-time a Mechanistic Appraisal Abdullahi MG, Roslan U, Kamarudin M. K. A. Artificial light at night and its negative consequences are of great interest in the fields of Ecology, Human Geography Astronomy, and Human Health. Most of the studies to date concentrated on the influences of light pollution has on our ability to view the night sky, on biodiversity, and ecosystems. Though, in recent years, with the use of new technologies sensors, which provide accurate information for determining of night lights at the area, most consideration were given for estimating artificial light at night within the urban areas. In this study, urban night lights within the cities of Nigeria was evaluated by monitoring data from the ground measurements using Sky Quality Meter (SQM-LU-DL) devices. Besides, the SQM was used at the zenith (upward direction) for maximum evaluating of artificial light at the sites. Differences in night sky bri...

Land Use Land Cover Change Detection by Using Remote Sensing Data in Akaki River Basin

Land Use Land Cover Change Detection by Using Remote Sensing Data in Akaki River Basin Adimasu Woldesenbet Worako   Land use land cover change (LULCC) is the result of the long time process of natural and anthropogenic activities that has been practiced on the land. GIS and remote sensing are the best tools that support to generate the relevant land use/cover change in the basin. This study was conducted in the Akaki River basin to detect land use land cover changes within the 30 years period (1985-2015) by using landsat imagery data acquired from the GCF. Supervised maximum likelihood algorithm classification were deployed to classify land use/cover into four prominent land use groups and data’s were processed by using ERDAS imagine 2014 and ArcGIS10.1 software. In the basin dominant LULC was agricultural land use which accounts around 56.28% and the second largest is built-up area by 31.51% and the rest, forest(11.9%) and water body(0.31%) coverage were takes t...
