Deserts and Desertification

Urban expansion and industrial development destroy agricultural lands, pastures, and forests, and reduce the ecological and biological potential of lands, known as desertification. Diminished land potential due to one or a combination of processes such as erosion, destruction of water resources, destruction of vegetation, and swamping, by climate and human factors, is called desertification. Among these, human factors have a vital role in the emergence of this phenomenon. Excessive human economic activity upsets the ecological balance of arid and semi-arid regions, leading to adverse environmental changes. With the expansion of deserts in some parts of the world, food production and water resources are declining, resulting in environmental migration. Due to the limited capacity of urban areas to provide facilities and services, these migrations will cause severe socio-economic problems. In general, climatic and human factors are among the fundamental causes of desertification in the world. Preventing improper agricultural practices that lead to salinity and widespread soil degradation requires well-planned and strengthened awareness programs and development of information and care systems for areas exposed to desertification and drought, while also addressing the economic and social dimensions in these ecosystems.

“…Along with increasing global trend towards sustainable development, the cognitive aspect of this issue and more consideration to it at national level has also enhanced in accordance with the arising rate of urban development, and efforts have been made due to projection of sustainable urban development (De Roo & Miller, 2019). Until the performing of this research, the last major event under the International Development Sustainability Program was the World Urban Forum 9 (WUF 9) organized by the United Nations Un-Habitat Program in the February of 2018 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, entitled as " Engaging the Challenges, Enhancing the Relevance ", which was in fact one of the chain of actions that has been taken over the past two decades, in order to institutionalize and realize sustainable development, and in particular sustainable urban development in the international society (Parivar et al, 2020). The increasing global attention and tendency to the issue of sustainable development, as well as the need to recognize and pay attention to it at the national level, has been the main motive behind the writing of this article due to the increasing rate of urban development in the country (Evans, 2017).…”

The world in the 21st century is marked by high population mobility. When an increasing number of people have chosen to leave their motherlands and resettle in a new country, of those issues that have concerned the government, academics and the public throughout the world, urban sprawl is one of the most prominent. There are conflicting views toward this growing trend. While it has been taken as a positive development in many newly emerging cities, it is increasingly perceived as a threat to urban environment and considered as a trigger for numerous urban problems. The objective of this article is to evaluate the forces behind this trend and its consequences regarding to UN-Habitat program, based on the experiences of successful cities in the world to reveal the theoretical and practical aspects of what is currently known as a sustainable urban development on a global scale. The principles derived from the evaluating, are proposed to be used in sustainable development of Tehran city in Iran.

“…e multi-indicator framework included quantitative indicators, the spatial distribution relationship between urban new unqualified land and zoning map, the location of urban new unqualified land, and the original land use [7]. Parivar et al (2021) adopted the evaluation framework composed of three dimensions and 16 indicators based on the conceptual principle of the close relationship between structure and function and analyzed the development of Yazd in Iran using the analytic hierarchy process [8]. e research and analysis of the above scholars reveal that most present evaluation studies only stay in the evaluation stage.…”

This exploration aims to promote the development of urbanization in China and improve the utilization rate of urban resources. First, intensive theory and spatial economics are studied. Next, an input-output urban spatial evaluation system is established based on intensive theory and data envelopment analysis (DEA). Then, deep learning (DL) is adopted for optimization, and an urban space evaluation system based on DL is proposed. Finally, the reliability level of the urban space evaluation system is tested. The results show that the model’s input and output index α values are above 0.9, and the overall reliability level is higher than 0.9, indicating that the urban space evaluation system has a high reliability. The training results of the DL model show that the mean absolute error (MAE) of model prediction decreases gradually with the increase of training time and training times. When the training lasts for 5 min, each index’ MAE is basically stable between 0.22 and 0.23, and the evaluation accuracy is obvious. The urban space evaluation system based on DL has higher evaluation accuracy, reaching 83.40%. Therefore, this exploration can provide research experience for promoting the effective utilization of urban resources and provide a reference for formulating an urbanization evaluation index system suitable for China’s national conditions.
