“…This involves establishing a legal framework that promotes agricultural practices in line with environmental conservation and sustainability. The legislation should encourage methods that protect soil health, manage water resources efficiently, and reduce the impact on the natural ecosystem (Tolche et al, 2022). This could include incentives for organic farming, regulations for water-efficient irrigation systems, and support for small-scale farmers in adopting sustainable techniques (Baruah et al, 2023).…”

“…Such a hybridized technique allows for the optimization of land-use strategies by accounting for the spatial, environmental, social, and economic dimensions of sustainability (Rajput et al, 2021). In this regard, several studies applied the types of techniques in various fields including integration of SWOT-AHP (Ragheb et al, 2022;Yuan et al, 2020), as well as GIS-AHP (Foroozesh et al, 2022;Tolche et al, 2022), and SWOT-GIS (Dammag, Dai, et al, 2023 a;Hoveidi et al, 2019). Therefore, we see that applications that include a combination of SWOT-AHP and GIS provide a better framework for sustainable urban planning strategies.…”

The high rate of population growth led to migration from rural to urban settlements, causing unregulated growth, urban sprawls, and inefficiencies in city planning of developing countries. yet, in regions like Yemen, rapid urbanization poses significant challenges for urban planners. Addressing these challenges, this study proposes an innovative approach to urban planning in the context of Ibb City, Yemen, a region grappling with rapid urbanization and inefficient land use. The study identifies a significant gap in the integration of strategic planning and technological tools in developing urban areas. The study utilized SWOT technology to examine the internal and external factors, the AHP method to prioritize the factors to make them measurable, and GIS geospatial zonal analysis. This integrated approach provides a comprehensive evaluation of internal and external factors affecting urban land use, with a focus on quantifying priorities for sustainable urban development. The study's results offer a detailed assessment of the social, economic, infrastructure, and environmental aspects of Ibb City, highlighting the interaction between these elements in urban planning. Importantly, the findings extend beyond the local context, presenting a scalable and adaptable model for urban planning, particularly in developing countries with similar urban dynamics. The study underscores the critical role of strategic, data-driven planning in fostering sustainable urban environments, offering significant insights and tools for policymakers and urban planners for sustainable urban growth.

“…Product diversity decreases at higher elevations. From the literature, it is known that at elevations between 300 and 700 m, a large variety of vegetables and fruits, particularly olives, can be cultivated [31]. At elevations up to 2000 m, it is not possible to cultivate economic and agricultural products other than grains and fodder crops.…”

Agrivoltaics’ share of renewable generation is relevant for countries to achieve their energy transition targets. Agrivoltaics is the dual and synergistic use of the land by agricultural crop production and photovoltaic (PV) systems. For their development around a country, a fundamental step is to determine which areas are suitable. This research work has developed a methodological framework for a reliable agrivoltaic land eligibility analysis at regional scale based on a spatial multicriteria analysis (i.e., GIS/MCDM-AHP). The challenging step has been to select a set of relevant criteria, also based on experts’ knowledge, able to capture the factors that can affect both the solar PV potential and agriculture-oriented factors. On the basis of these criteria, properly weighted, a 30 m-resolution land eligibility map for agrivoltaic systems has been generated for the NUTS-2 regions of Italy. We have found that Italy has an eligible area of 10.7 million hectares and a capacity potential of 6435 GW, assuming an installed power density of 0.6 MW/ha. Thus, a land coverage of only 1.24% of this area would allow to reach the national 80 GW target of new renewable capacity to achieve the country’s decarbonisation and energy transition objectives by 2030. The potential of installed capacity results at GW scale for the main land categories of arable land and permanent crops if they are just covered by only 5% with agrivoltaic systems. Thus, the impact of agrivoltaic systems development on land occupation can be considered marginal especially in relation to benefits generated for both the energy and agricultural sectors. Such a method is essentially targeted to regional authorities for planning the sustainable development of agrivoltaic systems at the local level.
