Ecotourism in Saudi Arabia (KSA) is gaining significant attention due to the country’s diverse natural landscapes, rich biodiversity, and efforts preserve display its environmental treasures. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of urban green space (UGS) suitability Taif region using geographic information system (GIS) combined with multiple-criteria decision-analysis-based analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The integration various morphologic, topographic, climatic, land use/land change (LULC) maps provided robust framework for evaluating UGSs. In this study, ten criteria were used elaborate on UGS suitability. results indicate that distance water, road, rainfall, LULC most influential determining Distance road emerged as criterion, emphasizing importance accessibility visibility attracting public spaces. demonstrated fair development across 56.4% total area. However, large areas barren central northeastern parts rendered unsuitable development, while southwestern part showed higher percentages good excellent highlights considering awareness aspects planning, it serves visual reminder value nature settings. obtained by research may help managers decision makers future planning GI region.

Emergent complex climate risks challenge conventional approaches for adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR). This situation demands new ways of addressing with integrated solutions. Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are promising CCA DRR given their cost-effectiveness, multifunctionality low-regret condition in a wide range exacerbated by change. However, little attention has been paid to exploring methodological combining NbS reduce risks. Still, selecting the appropriate effective combination is challenging task. research applies geospatial multi-criteria approach developing intervention packages this innovative methodology case study area Puna region Peru. The started an in-depth literature analysis coupled participatory process local experts identify select locally valid DRR. Building upon that, overall was developed, which consists matrix-based procedure evaluate applicability relevant measures feasibility being combined packages. Then, into Geographic Information System using spatial model map suitable areas. Next innovation, applied generate place-based package reduced water provision considering change conditions, its respective potential sites differentiated measures. novel pragmatic support tool that helps practitioners design more robust interventions building resilience Furthermore, involves shifting perspective from activities focused on "one-size-fits-all-solution" "multi-solution" strategic address comprehensively, recognizing dynamics complexities social-ecological systems. authors encourage researchers transfer other contexts and, accelerate efficient targeted implementation

Among the Saudi Vision 2030 programs is Green Initiative, which aims to protect environment, energy conversion, and sustainability projects build a sustainable future. In present paper, Infrastructures (GI) were assessed, analyzed, mapped using GIS Analytic Hierarchy Process-based-Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Method (AHP-MCDM). Ten criteria selected elaborate GI suitability map (DEM, slope, topographic position index, rainfall, distance water lines, wetness road, wind speed, housing income group high (high-income people) map, employment in agricultural sector, land use change). The results revealed four classes of suitability: Poor, Fair, Good, Excellent. “Excellent” area for planning was estimated at 983 km2 (9%), whereas “Good” covered 36% (3987 km2). excellent good areas more localized central part Al Baha region Bahah, Elmandaq, Alatawlah, Buljurshi. According obtained results, southern study not suitable planning; this explained by large barren sand. research may help managers decision-makers future region.

During the past two decades, Hue city has undergone significant changes in its economic development, leading to a rapid transformation of land-use and land-cover (LULC) patterns. This study used remote sensing data Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analyze city, providing essential insights for city’s future development. research examines indicators such as area changes, urban development trends, morphology areas during period from 2000 2020, with assessments conducted at ten-year intervals. The results showed that built-up forest land have increased, while agricultural unused decreased over time. By had expanded by more than 60% north northeast directions. developed through infilling edge expansion existing areas, some regions primarily into outlying sections east south constructing high-end residential on former paddy rice fields. These findings yield valuable policy implications extend beyond case offering other cities pursue inclusive prosperous futures.

Background. Green spaces contribute to a significant life quality and maintain the sustainability of cities. In Benin, despite political greening willingness, municipalities are experiencing technical issues in finding suitable achieve this goal. This study should serve many other towns. It aims at identifying areas for green integrate landscaping into urban planning Abomey-Calavi district. Methods. The multi-criteria analysis combining GIS hierarchical classification approach were performed. Six factors (land use, altitude, slope, distance from main roads, proximity centres flood zones, water bodies) combined using ArcGIS "Spatial Analysis" extension generate map space suitability. Results. large land, which 23.27% very 26.06% municipality. ranking revealed road networks, conurbations wetlands accounting 18%, compared with 14% regarding environment. However, use these results must take account existing inhabited good site selection. Conclusion. These outputs guidance decision-makers choosing sites there integrating them sustainable development.

Green spaces contribute to a significant improvement in quality of life and maintain the sustainability cities. In Benin, despite political willingness regarding greening, municipalities are experiencing technical issues finding suitable achieve this goal. This study should therefore be applicable many other towns Benin. It aims at identifying areas for green integrate landscaping into urban planning Abomey-Calavi district. Multi-criteria analysis combining GIS hierarchical classification approach was performed. Six factors (land use, altitude, slope, distance from main roads, proximity centres flood zones, water bodies) were combined using ArcGIS “Spatial Analysis” extension generate map space suitability. The results show large land, which 23.27% is very 26.06% municipality. ranking revealed that elevation, road networks, conurbations wetlands accounted 18%, compared with 14% environment. However, use these must take account existing inhabited good site selection. These outputs provide guidance decision-makers choosing sites integrating them sustainable development.

The health of urban populations is increasingly at risk due to the amplification and chronification heat stress by climate change. This particularly true for environments in humid tropical climates, including many cities Southeast Asia. It also these locations where increasing climatic risks may be exacerbated growth, underscoring need develop effective mitigation strategies strengthening resilience supporting change adaptation. Conservation widespread implementation green infrastructure (GI) are regarded as one means counter a public threat. However, lower-income countries across Asia, such Vietnam, knowledge gaps remain with respect effectiveness greening interventions mitigation. To address this gap, context expansion city Huế, diurnal cooling potential regulation outdoor thermal comfort (OTC) within wide, shallow street canyon were systematically assessed selected elements GI along quantitative qualitative dimension using ENVI-met. Tree-based found most effective, potentially decreasing UTCI −1.9 K domain level. Although lower magnitude, verges facades contribute OTC, up −1.7 −1.4 locally. Potential synergistic impacts identified through combination elements. no scenario was decrease zero or moderate levels. Substantially reducing thus require further measures closer consideration local morphological characteristics.
