Applied Geography 

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated land use/cover changes and urban expansion in Greater Dhaka, Bangladesh, between 1975 and 2003 using satellite images and socio-economic data and found that substantial growth of built-up areas in greater Dhaka over the study period resulted significant decrease in the area of water bodies, cultivated land, vegetation and wetlands.

TL;DR: In this article, maximum likelihood supervised classification and post-classification change detection techniques were applied to Landsat images acquired in 1987 and 2001, respectively, to map land cover changes in the Northwestern coast of Egypt.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a pilot study, which deployed a qualitative GIS technique to analyse the effectiveness of walked interviews in capturing data relating to people's understanding of place, concluding that the data generated through walking interviews are profoundly informed by the landscapes in which they take place, emphasising the importance of environmental features in shaping discussions.

TL;DR: In this article, Williams et al. examined the relationship between place attachment and landscape values using two measures of place attachment, a psychometric, scale-based measure and a map based measure derived from mapped special places.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present their views about the present and future of public participation GIS (PPGIS) for land use planning and management, and identify the key issues and research priorities in PPGIS.
