The land used to develop the garden and the larger park was originally under the jurisdiction of the Illinois Central Railroad and at one point considered "an urban wasteland" by many.
In the 1930s land was used to develop some council housing and following the sale of the Benyon estate the pace of new building quickened.
Topographic, climatic, and land use characteristics are used to develop relationships between these basin characteristics and FDC statistical distribution parameters: mean (m) and variance.
Fifty-five geographinformationion system variables were available for predictive modeling, including road density, population density, elevation, and type of land use and were used to develop high-resolution (10 m) maps [for more information, see Brauer et al. 2008b; Henderson et al. 2007; see also Supplemental Material (doi 10.1289/ehp.0900916.S1 via http://dx.doi.org)].
These three features were then integrated with the existing land use classification to develop a hierarchical eco-land classification system with four primary classes (fundamental eco-land, auxiliary eco-land, productive eco-land, and daily-life eco-land), 11 secondary classes, and 21 sub-secondary classes.
Starting from these remarks, the present paper analyse the role, the importance and the impact of land use characteristics to develop services able to compete with automobile use.
Starting from these remarks, the present paper wants to analyse the role, the importance and the impact of land use characteristics to develop services able to compete with automobile use.
Aerial photography spanning a period of six decades, IKONOS pan-sharpened (1×1 m) data, and input from the US National Park Service were used to develop land cover classification maps for the 1940s, 1960s, and 1990s.
These and other data could be used to develop land use/land cover transition models that represent Africa's unique human-vegetation-climate settings.
This map was constructed from a combination of satellite imagery and land cover maps which were used to develop models that identified the location of settlements [ 48, 49].
