Information flow in the CLUE-S /Dyna-CLUE model (overview) [9] The Dyna-CLUE (dynamic conversion of land use and its effects) model is the adapted version of CLUE-S model, built upon the combination of the top-down approach of spatial allocation of land-use change and bottom-up approach of specification of conversions for specific land-use alterations.
Although intervention mapping is presented as a series of steps, the authors see the planning process as iterative rather than linear. [1] Program planners move back and forth between tasks and steps. The process is also cumulative: each step is based on previous steps, and inattention to a particular step may lead to mistakes and inadequate ...
Land change modeling has a variety of implementation opportunities in many science and practice disciplines, such as in decision-making, policy, and in real-world application in public and private domains. Land change modeling is a key component of land change science, which uses LCMs to assess long-term outcomes for land cover and climate. The ...

The process of land use planning developed putting into consideration those aspects, allows the identification, location and evaluation of areas exposed to natural phenomena, which allows the implementation of measures that guarantee risk mitigation. Good land use planning positively impacts the development of urban economy. [9]
Cumulative CO2 emissions from land-use change (as of 2021). Emissions from land-use change can be positive or negative depending on whether these changes emit (positive, brown on the map) or sequester (negative) carbon (green on the map). Land use is an umbrella term to describe what happens on a parcel of land.
The land-use sector is critical to achieving the aim of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 2 °C (3.6 °F). [18] Land-use change alters not just atmospheric CO 2 concentration but also land surface biophysics such as albedo and evapotranspiration, both of which affect climate. [19] The impact of land-use change on the climate is ...
Over a 45-years span — between 1975 and 2020 — improvements in cancer screenings and prevention strategies have reduced deaths from five common cancers more than any advances in treatments ...
