Human activities which are represented by human impact index in landslide susceptibility mapping have great impact on the landslide occurrences in urban areas, especially in those fast developing areas. It is important to study how to determine a reasonable human impact index based on available factors, such as buildings, roads, and land prices, to ensure that landslide susceptibility is accurately...
Land use change (LUC) model is fundamental in decision making process for regional sustainable development. It is practically important to analyze LUC in rapidly urbanizing region, such as Panyu District of Guangzhou, China, where a fast economy development makes it necessary to study the rule of urban land use change. Taking time-spatial land use change as the key point, a case study is carried out...
Landslide susceptibility zonation is essential for disaster management and control in mountainous regions. Most landslide susceptibility zonations up to now are pixel-based and somehow are impracticable in landslide hazard management. In this paper, we propose a procedure for slope unit-based landslide susceptibility zonation with a case study of Shenzhen, China. First, the flat terrain is removed...
Sub-workspaces and the fist-ellipse of auto drivers are new concepts in the fields of ergonomics and automotive engineering. The paper introduces measurement, generation, application and location of the 95th percentile fist-ellipse (i.e., 95th sub-workspace for gearshift) for Chinese car drivers. It is a rigorous scientific approach to locate gearshift handles in conventional motor vehicles or locate...
