This study aimed to evaluate the suitability of space utilization conducted in the coastal area of Bungus bay. The research was conducted through field survey with a spatial approach using Geographic Information System (GIS) in order to know the suitability of area allocations which were served as a protected zone, utilization zone, and special zone. The results showed that zone II covers an area of 232,9 ha with a score of 48,4 and zone II covers an area of 136,2 ha with a score of 23 was not-suitable served as utilization zone, and zone III covers an area of 539,9 ha with a score of 61 was suitable served as utilization zone. Management alternative for not-suitable category in the protected zone at location 8 can be managed by the establishing of coast protection, establishing of stilt house, and the improvement of roads connected to the main road; On the utilization zone of location 11, location 12, location 18, and location 23 can be managed by relocating the settlement as far as >100 m from the coast, establishing of coast protection, establishing of stilt house, and improving roads connected to the main road; On the special zone of location 1 can be managed by relocating the distance limit of ship track and activity, making of settling ponds for waste discharging, and establishing stilt house; and on the special zone of location 25 can be managed by relocating the distance limit of ship track and activity, making of settling ponds for waste discharging, and dust suppression (wetting) during coal loading, and unloading.

“…Urban development and land-use pattern change have considerable social and environmental effects including destruction of natural habitats, increased natural hazards, severe watershed erosions, sedimentation in seas (especially in coastal zones), biodiversity loss, water quality reduction, and loss of areas related to suburban farmlands and green spaces. Generally, it can be claimed that, LUCC in coastal zones leads to an increase in the vulnerability over these areas [3,4]. The aforementioned 2 of 16 problems and the consequent hazards are somewhat related to land-use changes caused by human activities, and thus, it is crucial to understand the magnitude and trend of LUCC and its spatial patterns.…”

Use of Intensity Analysis to Characterize Land Use/Cover Change in the Biggest Island of Persian Gulf, Qeshm Island, Iran

In this study, land use/cover change was systematically investigated in the Qeshm Island to understand how human and nature interact in the largest island of Persian Gulf. Land-use maps were prepared for 1996, 2002, 2008, and 2014 using Landsat satellite imagery in six classes including agriculture, bare-land, built-up, dense-vegetation, mangrove, and water-body, and then dynamic of changes in the classes was evaluated using intensity analysis at three levels: interval, category, and transition. Results illustrated that, while the land changes were fast over the first and third time intervals (1996-2002 and 2008-2014), the trend of changes was slow in the second period (2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008). Driven by high demand for construction and population growth, the built-up class was identified as an active gainer in all the three time intervals. The class of bare-land was the main supplier of the land for other classes especially for built-up area, while built-up did not act as the active supplier of the land for other classes. The dense-vegetation class was active in all three time intervals. As for the mangrove class, drought and cutting by residents had negative effects, while setting up protected areas can effectively maintain this valuable ecosystem. High demands were observed for land change in relation to built-up and agriculture classes among other classes. The findings of this study can advance our understanding of the relationship and behavior of land use/cover classes among each other over 18 years in a coastal island with arid climate.

“…Identifying potential risks and developing urban vulnerability reduction plans are key to achieving urban sustainability (Li et al, 2016;Sharifi, 2016). Cities can better plan and respond if the location and nature of risk is known and also if risk assessment and management processes are integrated into urban management and development programs (World Bank, 2011).…”

Natural disasters represent a major problem for many big cities. The biggest part of the population is in cities, which makes the concept of urban planning be a significant problem for the decision makers. In this paper, there are presented the results of a comparative analysis of the disaster risk management practices between Bucharest and Ciudad de Mexico in South America; and Istanbul in the euro-Mediterranean region. The analysis shows that all three cities have made considerable efforts regarding the risk analysis, especially in earthquakes. The elements they took into consideration are: the political engagement, identifying risks, the institutions and managing knowledge. Finally, the papers concludes by reasoning that the local authorities must focus more on reducing risks in order to reduce the physical vulnerability and to reach urban durability.
