Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Groundwater Global Pollution Risk: Relationships with Territorial PlanningM. De Maio, F. Minucci, G. NocerinoProblem statement: The protection and enhancing of Groundwater Resources (GWR) at an international level have been studied extensively, but they have very rarely been considered in Territorial Planning and Urban Planning. Now more than in the past, thanks to the technologies and know-how acquired over the years, ignoring responsibilities with regards to the close link between these themes is no … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2010 · 6,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGroundwater Resources Pollution Risk: Application of the Holman MethodM. De Maio, C. Favaron, G. NocerinoProblem statement: The aim of this study is to make an attempt to assess, through the application of the Holman Method, the effects that a careless management of human induced activities could have on aquifers and in particular on tapping wells used for human supply. Approach: The study had been applied to two different territories, as far as both the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploring Spatial ARM (Spatial Association Rule Mining) for Geo-Decision Support SystemRanjana Vyas, Lokesh Kumar Sharma, U. S. TiwaryGeographical Decision Support System (Geo-DSS) is a demanding field, since enormous amount of spatial data have been collected in various applications, ranging form Remote Sensing to GIS, Computer Cartography, Environmental Assessment and Planning. Although some efforts were made to combine spatial mining with Spatial Decision Support System but mostly researchers for spatial database are using a popular data mining approach-Apriori … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 6,956 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Near Real-time Early Warning System on Erosion HazardsFaisal H. Ali, Tew K. HuiWith many incidences of landslides, mudslides and erosion occurrences lately, especially in the highlands in Malaysia, properties were damaged and lives were lost. Seeing the need of resolving and minimizing such untoward incidences, a study has been embarked on developing a near real-time early warning system on erosion hazards so as to provide an early warning to the public, whenever … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,706 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of a New Model for Evaluation of Iran Ecological Capabilities in Order to Establish Services and Civil Development ApplicationJ. Nouri, S. A. JoziThis study is aimed to design a new model for service and civil development application in order to be used in evaluation of Iran ecological capability studies. For this purpose in the first step, the frequency of sustainable and unsustainable ecological factors in Iran was known. In the next step, the Delphi method was used which is itself a branch … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2004 · 6,513 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordIntegrated Modeling Framework for Highway Traffic Pollution Estimation and DispersionShu Yang, Yao-Jan Wu, John WoolschlagerAir quality is of great concern to the public. Airborne pollutants, such as carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and Particulate Matter (PM), negatively impact people’s living conditions. In particular, vehicular exhaust is a major source of these pollutants. Extensive previous research has contributed to modeling traffic pollutant emission. Popular approaches include computational simulation-based methods, which have been dominant in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 13 May 2016 · 7,434 accessesView PDFCite
