While solar energy receives broad support in general, utility-scale solar arrays can be contentious because at the siting stage it becomes a land use issue replete with potential disamenities and tradeoffs. We conduct a choice experiment survey to estimate preferences for attributes of utility-scale solar arrays in Rhode Island, USA. Our results suggest the largest indicator of solar development approval is prior land use, with residents willing to pay an additional $10-21 in monthly utility bills for developments in commercial, industrial, brownfield, and covered landfill areas, and $13-49 to avoid developments on farm and forest land.

“…Accuracy and success of the classified image result from the map reliability, and the level of success relies on the correct type of maps derived from image classification. An experience from the literature proved that it is easier to map widespread or significant changes in urban areas than degradation of boundaries, erosion, and succession [39][40][41][42][43]. Furthermore, conducting a change detection study of a given geographic area is essential for better understanding and interpretation of remotely sensed data.…”

Analysis of Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Land Use/Cover Changes in Jubek State, South Sudan

2022

The Republic of South Sudan lacks adequate data to support decision-makers in planning. Therefore, a land use land cover (LULC) study was conducted in Jubek State for 17 years (2000–2017). It was divided into three time intervals, using remote sensing (RS), geographic information system (GIS), Landsat TM, Landsat ETM+, and Landsat 8 OLI approaches. A transition matrix for the total change was developed to generate spatiotemporal and quantitative indicators to analyze LULC spatiotemporal dynamics for better developmental decisions. Overall accuracy assessment results were 97.41% (kappa 0.96), 90.45% (kappa 0.85), and 91.5% (kappa 0.89) for years 2000, 2009, and 2017, respectively. Furthermore, quantitative and spatiotemporal results show that built up areas drastically increase, especially from 2009 to 2017. The most dominant class in the study area was grassland, 9929.9 km2 (54.22%), followed by forest, 5555 km2 (30.33%), barren land, 2497.3 km2 (13.64%), built up areas, 166.7 km2 (0.9%), farmland, 128.31 km2 (0.71%), and water bodies, 35.91 km2 (0.96%). The outcomes of the analysis show that since 1955 Jubek State (Juba) has been the preferable place for the local citizens’ settlement in South Sudan. Unfortunately, agricultural production was insufficient due to the limited cultivated area; on the other hand, the study area is rich in natural resources and could meet local people’s demand if a proper strategy such as LULC transformation is well implemented.
