“…Furthermore, as Saudi Arabia embarks on Vision 2030, a highly publicized urban expansion endeavor, it will be interesting to see what urban planning processes that will impact Riyadh. Other scholars (for example, Shukla and Jain [24]) have noted that, in Indian settings, most urban expansion has been unplanned. Our future analysis will attempt to understand how policy decisions guided the expansion observed in Riyadh from past satellite data and how it compares to growth in the city in the future and with other urban areas across the world.…”

The implications of change on local processes have attracted significant research interest in recent times. In urban settings, green spaces and forests have attracted much attention. Here, we present an assessment of change within the predominantly desert Middle Eastern city of Riyadh, an understudied setting. We utilized high-resolution SPOT 5 data and two classification techniques-maximum likelihood classification and object-oriented classification-to study the changes in Riyadh between 2004 and 2014. Imagery classification was completed with training data obtained from the SPOT 5 dataset, and an accuracy assessment was completed through a combination of field surveys and an application developed in ESRI Survey 123 tool. The Survey 123 tool allowed residents of Riyadh to present their views on land cover for the 2004 and 2014 imagery. Our analysis showed that soil or 'desert' areas were converted to roads and buildings to accommodate for Riyadh's rapidly growing population. The object-oriented classifier provided higher overall accuracy than the maximum likelihood classifier (74.71% and 73.79% vs. 92.36% and 90.77% for 2004 and 2014). Our work provides insights into the changes within a desert environment and establishes a foundation for understanding change in this understudied setting. landscape [24]. Due to the physical and morphological conditions, economic state, population growth, political situation, policies, and social behaviors that vary from one region to another, predicting patterns of urban growth is complicated [25]. Nevertheless, significant progress has been made in understanding urban processes, including the importance of performing spatiotemporal analyses of urban growth to understand the characteristics and consequences of growth and how this is manifested from one location to another [8,21,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. One of the critical factors that have emerged from recent studies in urban processes and change is that in trying to understanding future growth within urban centers, it is critical to first understand and document the physical conditions within a city. Despite the significant progress made in understanding urban growth, our knowledge of urban change has not been uniform across all settings, a fact especially manifested in the states of the Middle East and North Africa.The urban centers of the Middle East and North Africa are undergoing rapid transformation, including significant growth in the youth population, and an urbanization trend that will result in large numbers of people settling in major cities [30]. Still, the analysis of the changes occurring within Middle Eastern cities remains incomplete. This is particularly critical as the territory of the Middle East and North Africa is 11.2 million km 2 -larger than the United States (9.8 million km 2 ), China (9.5 million km 2 ), and the European Union (4.3 million km 2 ). To date, only a few studies have focused on urban processes and change within the Middle East. Among the studies completed in the region was the work of ...

“…Rapid urbanization is accelerating the transformation of urban natural surfaces, usually by reducing ecological land and increasing the impervious cover areas, which prevents rainwater from penetrating the soil [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Urban streets act as streams by collecting rainwater, thereby increasing the volume of surface runoff, which is one of the most common causes of urban waterlogging [9][10][11].…”

In the context of climate change and rapid urbanization, urban waterlogging risks due to rainstorms are becoming more frequent and serious in developing countries. One of the most important means of solving this problem lies in elucidating the roles played by the spatial factors of urban surfaces that cause urban waterlogging, as well as in predicting urban waterlogging risks. We applied a regression model in ArcGIS with internet open-data sources to predict the probabilities of urban waterlogging risks in Hanoi, Vietnam, during the period 2012–2018 by considering six spatial factors of urban surfaces: population density (POP-Dens), road density (Road-Dens), distances from water bodies (DW-Dist), impervious surface percentage (ISP), normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and digital elevation model (DEM). The results show that the frequency of urban waterlogging occurrences is positively related to the first four factors but negatively related to NDVI, and DEM is not an important explanatory factor in the study area. The model achieved a good modeling effect and was able to explain the urban waterlogging risk with a confidence level of 67.6%. These results represent an important analytic step for urban development strategic planners in optimizing the spatial factors of urban surfaces to prevent and control urban waterlogging.

“…There is no generally acknowledged meaning of 'peri-urban' despite the fact that, in basic terms, it very well may be characterized as the territories around urban areas and towns described by rapid demographic, environmental, economic, social, and cultural interactions and changes [15]. Peri-urban area is considered as a transitional zone where the city and the countryside interact with each other [16]. In other words, peri-urban is a direct result of expansion.…”

Population growth, economic development, and rural-urban migration have contributed to the rapid growth of peripheral areas in Indian cities. The immigration of population and emergence of new activities are changing these areas, as seen in changes in land use and occupational structures, reduced agricultural activities, and built-up structural development. The city of Burdwan is no exception to this phenomenon of accelerated population growth. With the passage of time, this city is expanding towards peri-urban villages, thereby strongly influencing the peripheral rural settlements in the dimensions of both natural and social resource. Thus, advance spatial development planning of land use and infrastructure for a speedily growing population that is projected is highly important. In the current decade, the use of an environmental approach in the planning of peri-urban areas has gained significant recognition. However, desegregation of socioeconomic sectors has been mentioned very loosely. This paper seeks to achieve spatial development in peri-urban areas by taking into account socioeconomic and demographic factors along with environmental principles. Hence, the objective for the study is based on a mixed-method approach to assess major problems of a peri-urban space. We applied an interdisciplinary approach which merged household survey and temporal change analysis over three time periods (1991, 2001, and 2011) based on geographical information systems. Results show substantial built-up growth and that agricultural workers drastically decreased in the last twenty years. Finally, considering the structural and functional potential of peri-urban areas, land use zoning plan was prepared. Further, zone-wise development plan was designed for sustainable and intensive development of the city. This study has explicitly focused on quantifying physical and social infrastructure at various spatial scales, which can be implemented in other cities for balanced regional development and in identifying and mitigating disparities for balanced regional development.
