IDENTIFYING THE FOREST SURFACES PRONE TO FIRE IGNITION AND WILDFIRE SPREAD IN METROPOLITAN AREAS; A COMPARATIVE CASE FROM WESTERN BALKANS

Identifying the Forest Surfaces Prone to Fire Ignition and Wildfire Spread in Metropolitan Areas; a Comparative Case from Western Balkans

Human activity combined with the dynamics of severe climate conditions are accepted the main drivers of wildfire events in the Mediterranean region.This fact is urging for further comprehensive research focusing on the wildland-urban interface (WUI) at metropolitan scale, at which the tension between the cause and effect of wildfire is the highest.

COCKPIT-PLUS: A proposed method for rapid groundwater vulnerability-driven land use zoning in tropical cockpit karst areas

Karst groundwater is highly vulnerable to contamination, which Bandai Spirits urges better land use zoning.This paper proposes a new approach, called COCKPIT-PLUS, to minimize groundwater contamination within cockpit karst regions.The method employed four parameters: P (the existence of ponor/swallow hole), L (lineament density), U (sinking stream
