To study the environment of the Kipushi mining locality (LMK), the evolution of its landscape was observed using Landsat images from 2000 to 2020. The evolution of the landscape was generally modified by the unplanned expansion of human settlements, agricultural areas, associated with the increase in firewood collection, carbonization, and exploitation of quarry materials. The problem is that this area has never benefited from change detection studies and the LMK area is very heterogeneous. The objective of the study is to evaluate the performance of classification algorithms and apply change detection to highlight the degradation of the LMK. The first approach concerned the classifications based on the stacking of the analyzed Landsat image bands of 2000 and 2020. And the second method performed the classifications on neo-images derived from concatenations of the spectral indices: Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Building Index (NDBI) and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI). In both cases, the study comparatively examined the performance of five variants of classification algorithms, namely, Maximum Likelihood (ML), Minimum Distance (MD), Neural Network (NN), Parallelepiped (Para) and Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM). The results of the controlled classifications on the stacking of Landsat image bands from 2000 and 2020 were less consistent than those obtained with the index concatenation approach. The Para and DM classification algorithms were less efficient. With their respective Kappa scores ranging from 0.27 (2000 image) to 0.43 (2020 image) for Para and from 0.64 (2000 image) to 0.84 (2020 image) for DM. The results of the SAM classifier were satisfactory for the Kappa score of 0.83 (2000) and 0.88 (2020). The ML and NN were more suitable for the study area. Their respective Kappa scores ranged between 0.91 (image 2000) and 0.99 (image 2020) for the LM algorithm and between 0.95 (image 2000) and 0.96 (image 2020) for the NN algorithm.

I summarize the current regulatory decisions aimed at combating the debt load of the population in Russia. Further, I show that the level of delinquency of the population on loans is growing despite the regulatory measures taken. In my opinion, the basis of regulatory policy should move from de facto pushing personal bankruptcies to preventing them. I put forward a hypothesis and statistically prove the expediency of quantitative restrictions on one borrower. It is necessary to introduce reports to the credit bureaus of some types of overdue debts, which are not actually reported now. It is also necessary to change the order of debt repayment established by law, allowing the principal and current interest to be paid first, which will prevent the expansion of the debt.

Mapping land use and land cover (LULC) is essential for comprehending changes in the environment and promoting sustainable planning. To achieve accurate and effective LULC mapping, this work investigates the integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with Machine Learning (ML) methodology. Different types of land covers in the Lucknow district were classified using the Random Forest (RF) algorithm and Landsat satellite images. Since the research area consists of a variety of landforms, there are issues with classification accuracy. These challenges are met by combining supplementary data into the GIS framework and adjusting algorithm parameters like selection of cloud free images and homogeneous training samples. The result demonstrates a net increase of 484.59 km² in built-up areas. A net decrement of 75.44 km² was observed in forest areas. A drastic net decrease of 674.52 km² was observed for wetlands. Most of the wastelands have been converted into urban areas and agricultural land based on their suitability with settlements or crops. The classifications achieved an overall accuracy near 90%. This strategy provides a reliable way to track changes in land cover, supporting resource management, urban planning, and environmental preservation. The results highlight how sophisticated computational methods can enhance the accuracy of LULC evaluations.

Preserving roads involves regularly evaluating government policy through advanced assessments using vehicles with specialized capabilities and high-resolution scanning technology. However, the cost is often not affordable due to a limited budget. Road surface surveys are highly expected to use low-cost tools and methods capable of being carried out comprehensively. This research aims to create a road damage detection application system by identifying and qualifying precisely the type of damage that occurs using a single CNN to detect objects in real time. Especially for the type of pothole, further analysis is to measure the volume or dimensions of the hole with a LiDAR smartphone. The study area is 38 province’s representative area in Indonesia. This research resulted in the iRodd (intelligent-road damage detection) for detection and classification per type of road damage in real-time object detection. Especially for the type of pothole damage, further analysis is carried out to obtain a damage volume calculation model and 3D visualization. The resulting iRodd model contributes in terms of completion (analyzing the parameters needed to be related to the road damage detection process), accuracy (precision), reliability (the level of reliability has high precision and is still within the limits of cost-effective), correct prediction (four-fifths of all positive objects that should be identified), efficient (object detection models strike a good balance between being able to recognize objects with high precision and being able to capture most objects that would otherwise be detected-high sensitivity), meanwhile, in the calculation of pothole volume, where the precision level is established according to the volume error value, comparing the derived data to the reference data with an average error of 5.35% with an RMSE value of 6.47 mm. The advanced iRodd model with LiDAR smartphone devices can present visualization and precision in efficiently calculating the volume of asphalt damage (potholes).

Identify and diagnosis of homogenous units and separating them and eventually planning separately for each unit are considered the most principled way to manage units of forests and creating these trustable maps of forest’s types, plays important role in making optimum decisions for managing forest ecosystems in wide areas. Field method of circulation forest and Parcel explore to determine type of forest require to spend cost and much time. In recent years, providing these maps by using digital classification of remote sensing’s data has been noticed. The important tip to create these units is scale of map. To manage more accurate, it needs larger scale and more accurate maps. Purpose of this research is comparing observed classification of methods to recognize and determine type of forest by using data of Land Cover of Modis satellite with 1 kilometer resolution and on images of OLI sensor of LANDSAT satellite with 30 kilometers resolution by using vegetation indicators and also timely PCA and to create larger scale, better and more accurate resolution maps of homogenous units of forest. Eventually by using of verification, the best method was obtained to classify forest in Golestan province’s forest located on north-east of country.
