The study examines the recent transformation of traditional agricultural landscapes in the transition zone between Sierra de las Nieves and the Western Costa del Sol (Andalusia, Spain), one of the European regions where urban development pressure has...

Bangladesh is at the forefront of climate change impacts because of its geographical location, high population density, and constrained socio-economic infrastructure. Our objective is to explore the impacts of climate change on human security compone...

This article applies Causal Layered Analysis (CLA) to four Italian Alpine contexts to examine how narratives and metaphors can shape territorial development. We combined long-term ethnography (approximately 128 days of participant observation) with a...

Climate change and increased human activity are causing the Doñana wetlands, an important ecological reserve in southern Europe, to lose water more quickly. This research presents the Water Inference Moisture Index (WIMI), a spectral index des...

Urban inland flooding has become a serious problem in many cities because heavy rain often exceeds the capacity of drainage systems. In Japan, GIS-based evacuation maps are commonly used to support disaster preparedness, but they still have several l...

The aim of this research was to identify the challenges and opportunities associated with the Water-Food-Ecosystem (WFE) Nexus approach in coastal river basins in Northeastern Pará and Eastern Amazonia. The methodology considered Sustainable D...

Effective forest trail planning requires objective and transparent tools to balance user accessibility, recreation quality, and environmental protection. This research explores how geospatial analysis and multi-criteria decision-making can be integra...

Water scarcity, driven by climate change, spatial and temporal variations in precipitation, and seasonal water demands, is becoming an increasingly pressing issue for Mediterranean islands such as Crete. Strategically placed dams could offer a sustai...

The expansion of algaroba (Neltuma juliflora), an invasive exotic species widely adapted to arid and semi-arid environments, has caused significant ecological and geomorphological changes on the northern coast of Rio Grande do Norte in Brazil. This s...

Small urban rivers are crucial to global freshwater ecosystems, yet they are disproportionately impacted by human-induced modifications. Existing restoration approaches have primarily focused on large river systems. This study aims to provide a compr...

Over the last fifteen years, the Google Earth Engine (GEE) has become a pivotal tool for large-scale geospatial analysis, with growing applications in urban environmental monitoring. This review examines the peer-reviewed literature, published betwee...

Understanding long-term cloud cover variability is essential for assessing past climate dynamics and human influences on atmospheric conditions. In Padua, instrumental weather records (temperature, precipitation, pressure) and descriptive sky observa...

The Tafrata Irrigated Perimeter (TIP) in Taourirt province, located in a semi-arid environment, faces pressures from intensive agriculture and unsustainable resource use, leading to soil degradation, low organic matter, salinity risks, and nutrient i...

This article examines the expansion of short-term rentals in Valparaíso, Chile, through the Airbnb platform. The study addresses the broader context of digital platforms transforming housing markets, with a focus on Latin American cities, wher...

Weeds continue to pose a serious challenge to agriculture, reducing both the productivity and quality of crops. In this paper, we explore how modern deep learning, specifically Vision Transformers (ViTs), can help address this issue through fast and...

This study employs an integrated framework that combines field-based measurements, remote sensing, and Geographic Information Systems (GISs) to monitor vegetation dynamics and assess the suitability of a steppe range reserve for livestock grazing. Fo...

Land use change strongly influences ecosystem carbon services. This study evaluates long-term variations in carbon storage resulting from land use transitions in the Southeast region of Vietnam during 1990–2020. The analysis uses ALOS (JAXA) la...

The paper examines the current landscape, as well as the promises and pitfalls, of the digital transition in agricultural production and rural areas in Greece. It questions whether digitalisation is a viable option given the demographic dynamics, gap...

Despite growing international interest in seasonal effects on wetland vegetation mapping, there is a notable lack of research focused on South Africa’s unique fynbos wetlands, leaving a critical gap in understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics...

Reliable and representative ground data is fundamental for accurate crop classification using satellite imagery. This study demonstrates a structured approach to ground truth planning in the Bareilly district, Uttar Pradesh, where wheat is the domina...

Rural poverty in Indonesia remains a complex issue involving various aspects. West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara, is a national tourist destination and a significant focus of national development, yet poverty rates remain very high. Therefore, this s...

This study integrates the price-to-income ratio (PIR) with Pareto distribution characteristics to provide a novel approach for evaluating home affordability across U.S. counties. The methodology offers a new lens for the analysis of home affordabilit...

Vulnerability is often analysed as a static condition of residents at a location, exposed to disaster and other risks. Studies on individual aspects of mobility and vulnerability exist, but comprehensive studies or guiding frameworks are lacking. The...

This study evaluates the impact of different territorial contexts on academic mobility within the framework of the Erasmus Programme, using data on Key Action 1 exchanges between 2015 and 2023. Using official EU datasets and a gravity model framework...

Europe has experienced a growing divergence in trends of population change across the urban hierarchy. A key driver of this divergence is internal migration, which underpins the efficient functioning of the economy by enhancing labor market flexibili...

The Sohodol Gorges has become a location of interest for tourists seeking ecological experiences and outdoor activities. The main purpose of the present study is to evaluate the attitudes of Romanian tourists toward the development of geotourism in t...

Climate change poses significant risks to both natural and urban systems, and fostering climate literacy among younger generations is increasingly recognized as a key component of resilience strategies. This paper presents the outcomes of a transnati...
