“…Another important finding was the pattern of forest trajectory, which indicated that significant conversions may be expected in the near future, initially to open spaces with little or no vegetation, then gradually to artificial surfaces, unless regulatory principles focussing on conservation of the ecosystem or hazard mitigation are implemented. Mulder (1992), Malczewski (2004), and Culshaw and Price (2011) emphasise physical variables as triggering factors for suitable urban occupation. In this case study the RDA proved to be useful in determining how physical variables affected land use and whether they were decisive factors in the artificialisation process.…”

“…Land-use change analysis informs spatial planning activities, as mentioned from McHarg (1971) to Steiner (2011), where complex consideration of physical parameters can be observed in strategic planning, addressing environmental constraints and restrictions, for example, or the protection of natural resources, building capacity, and susceptibility to natural hazards (Mulder 1992;El May, Dlala, and Chemini, 2010;Culshaw and Price 2011). Geological units, hydrology, slope, hypsometry and aspect features are frequently considered factors affecting planning, land-use transformation or the definition of regulatory principles for the conservation of specific areas (Tavares and Soares 2002;Randolph, 2004).…”

This study analysed the importance of physical forces on land-use change, on the planning framework in a Portuguese periurban area. A temporal matrix showing the trajectories of land transformation was obtained. A multivariate redundancy analysis explored the importance of physical parameters on temporal and spatial land-use change. A content analysis on urban or municipal master plans was made framing the importance of physical parameters on the planning process. The results highlighted a consistent trajectory of profound land-use changes with distinctive trajectories, with increasingly complex patterns with a limited dependence on physical variables. The trajectories were more related to the planning framework, where political actors and planning managers seemed to be most important. A theoretical model balancing three main components À physical forces, actors, and land transformation (DFA-C model) is proposed, reflecting the informal relationships between physical parameters and actors during the planning process.

“…In 1950s after World War II, UG began to grow in the United States of America, particularly in California, because of land-use planning, as a result there was tremendous economic growth and urban expansion. [1][2][3] Intense meetings on UG were held in the 1960s till the 1970s, 4,5 which was soon followed by the publication of a book called 'Cities and Geology'. 6 As most of the world's population already live-in urbanized areas (>50%), in developing countries migration to these areas is on the rise.…”

Discovering research trends of urban geology based on a bibliometric analysis

Urbanization contributes to the emerging urban areas across the world. The importance of geology to ensure sustainability, has led to many research publications in the urban geology. This paper aims to discover the research trends through a bibliometric analysis of articles indexed within the Scopus database from 1950 to 2018 on topics related to geology and urban. The analysis found a significant increase in publications during 1999-2016, especially after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami disaster. The next finding of this study is related to research interest clusters: engineering geological hazard investigation and risk assessment in the urban area (EGR); social geology and urban sustainability (SGS); and urban hydrology and water management (HGW). The EGR studies were mostly in underground engineering geology (geotechnics). In contrast, the least attention was given to the interaction between geology and land-use planning, due to the SGS issues (e.g., urban planning and land use suitability assessment). This study may serve as a platform for scholars to understand the current status and future directions of urban geology.
