Access to safe and reliable water resources is one of the most critical global challenges of the twenty-first century. In developing regions, such as Palestine, ensuring adequate water access has become increasingly difficult due to rapid population...
In Brazil, approximately 16.4 million people (8.1% of the population) live in informal settlements (favelas), with Rio de Janeiro among the most heavily affected. This situation results from rapid rural–urban migration and unplanned urbanizatio...
Land management is a relevant problem in rural areas all over the world, conditioning the planning decisions and the applicability of planning instruments. This study evaluates the limitations of cadastral data in representing land fragmentation and...
Property taxation serves as a critical instrument for fiscal efficiency and equitable distribution, yet implementation faces significant challenges including valuation inaccuracies, insufficient administrative capacity, and diminished public trust. I...
Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs) represent a significant public safety issue in rapidly urbanising nations, resulting in considerable fatalities, injuries, and economic losses. This research investigates the spatio-temporal distribution and hotspot dyna...
In multi-hazard environments, women’s social reproductive labor often constitutes a foundation of community survival, yet remains undertheorized in disaster scholarship. This study contributes to an active scholarly conversation by examining Da...
This study analyzes the spatial distribution of restaurant services in Tanta, Egypt, using a multi-scalar framework that integrates spatial autocorrelation, kernel density estimation, diversity measures, and spatial econometric modeling. It is theore...
Rapid urbanization highlights the increasing importance of urban green infrastructure in shaping urban spatial organization, quality of life, and environmental sustainability. This study examines spatial inequalities in the provision of urban parks i...
This study aims to investigate the short-term dynamics of agricultural landscapes using AI-supported multi-temporal land use/land cover (LULC) data. The Finike district, located within the Mediterranean climate zone, was selected as the study area, a...
Urban tourism research has long recognised that understanding cities depends not only on accumulated knowledge but also on the ability to read space, interpret urban form and connect physical settings with cultural meaning. Although these ideas are w...
This study examines the multidimensional nature of poverty and its underlying local determinants within the Suri Sadar Sub-Division of Birbhum District, Eastern India, an area marked by sharp ecological and socio-economic contrasts. Adopting a mixed-...
Preventive geohazard assessment in heritage landscapes presents a methodological challenge, as environmental processes rarely operate within clearly bounded states. Instead, they evolve gradually across space and time and are often only partially obs...
Disaster risk reduction and management are essential for sustainable development in territories highly exposed and vulnerable to natural hazards. Recent disasters in the Canary Islands have highlighted the importance of proactive preparedness and sys...
Multi-temporal orbital satellite imagery is an alternative for measuring behavioral patterns or trends in different physiognomies through vegetation indices (VIs) and Spectral Linear Mixture Models (SLMMs). In this study, time series of Landsat 7/8/9...
Nighttime light (NTL) satellite data provide an effective proxy for analyzing urbanization, tourism development, industrial activity, and population dynamics. Based on these premises, the present study investigates the spatiotemporal behavior of Nigh...
This study analyzes the locational characteristics of temples and shrines within the Namerigawa River basin in Kamakura, focusing on the characteristic landform known as “yatsu valleys”. While previous studies on Kamakura have examined hi...
Global gridded population datasets are widely used in urban analysis, risk assessment, and sustainability monitoring, including the calculation of indicators for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Despite their broad use, their behaviour at lo...
The Alborz Mountain range, serving as the strategic water tower of the Iranian Plateau, is experiencing the accelerating impacts of climate change. Given the critical role of snow reserves in this region for water security, understanding the mechanis...
Metro Manila, one of the world’s most densely populated megacities, is highly vulnerable to sea-level rise because of its low-lying deltaic location, frequent tropical cyclones, and rapid anthropogenic subsidence caused mainly by groundwater ex...
The article will focus on the concept of eco-hotel, ecotourism, the criteria for the creation of an eco-hotel and, subsequently, the certifications valid in Europe specifically in the Visegrád Group countries. The analysis of the Visegrá...
The proliferation of marine data presents both an opportunity for ocean governance and a challenge, contributing to fragmentation across disciplines, institutions, and sectors. Marine Spatial Data Infrastructure (MSDI) stands out as a major framework...
The San Andrés, Providencia, and Santa Catalina archipelago, located in the Colombian Caribbean, hosts diverse ecosystems, including coral reefs, mangroves, seagrass beds, and beaches, all of which are increasingly threatened by human activiti...
Winter tourism is increasingly influenced by changing socio-demographic dynamics, climate change, and evolving leisure preferences. While prior research has examined winter tourist motivations, sustainability strategies and climate change adoption, l...
This study examines the propagation from meteorological to hydrological drought across representative river basins in Bulgaria, focusing on temporal and spatial characteristics of the process. Monthly precipitation and streamflow data for 1964–...
