Climate change and shifts in land use/land cover (LULC) are critical factors affecting the environmental, societal, and health landscapes, notably
influencing the spread of infectious diseases. This study delves into the intricate relationships between climate change, LULC alterations, and the
prevalence of vector-borne and waterborne diseases in...

Despite being a limited resource, pollution, poor management, and other drivers like climate
change make available water unsuitable and insufficient for human consumption and ecosystem
maintenance. Therefore, a transdisciplinary approach is needed for managing this precious resource.
The overall aim of this paper is to address water inequalities...

The main aim of this study is to comprehensively analyze the dynamics of land use
and land cover (LULC) changes in the Bathinda region of Punjab, India, encompassing historical,
current, and future trends. To forecast future LULC, the Cellular Automaton–Markov Chain (CA)
based on artificial neural network (ANN) concepts was used using...

How can Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships manage plastic pollution in developing countries?

five distinct categories: water bodies, vegetation, barren land, barren rocky terrain, and buildings.
The necessary data processing and analysis was...

Crafting a comprehensive strategy to mitigate the impact of droughts, a complex geo-hazard
profoundly affecting socio-economic aspects, entails the creation of a drought vulnerability map as
a primary step. This study harmonizes geospatial techniques and the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy
Process (fuzzy AHP) to formulate such a map for northwestern...
