Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between ecosystem service value (ESV) and LULC in Aceh Besar Regency by calculating nine ESV variables, namely gas regulation (GR), water supply (WS), soil formation (SF), waste treatment (WT), biodiversity protection (BP), food production (FP), raw materials (RM), recreation (RC), and culture (CT) on each type of land cover in Aceh Besar Regency in three years: 2000, 2010 and 2020. The results showed that both decades saw in all three years, there was a decrease in the value of the forest ecosystem in Aceh Besar Regency due to the addition of activities and population needs, resulting in the conversion of forest land into built-up areas. This indicates that there is a relationship between land use and land cover change and human activities that have the potential to negatively affect the value of ecosystem services.","PeriodicalId":502626,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Geography.

This article focuses on (1) the recognition of large-scale subaqueous dunes in the vicinity of Serwy Lake, (2) the creation of a database consisting of relevant morphometric parameters (lengths, heights and gradients of stoss and lee slopes) and indexes (steepness and asymmetry ratios) and (3) comparison with other landforms that undoubtably indicate glacial floods (e.g., Missoula, Altai, British Columbia, Wigry Lake). The remote identification and measurement of the megadunes’ morphometry based on LiDAR data and digital elevation model with resolution 1×1 m (using hillshade and geomorphons) yielded data characterising 254 bedforms. These represent two-dimensional large-scale subaqueous dunes, which have lengths varying between 23.6 and 241.8 m and average heights of 0.6–5.4 m. Moreover, their morphometric variation creates a continuum typical of subaqueous dunes and has similarities to prominent examples linked to GLOFs. The study is especially crucial due to the lack of a wide range of information about megadune development under unconfined settings during the Weichselian glaciation.","PeriodicalId":502626,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Geography.

The advanced tools of algorithms, Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data and Geographical Information System (GIS) software are used to extract drainage networks and their watershed boundaries. These tools are complicated to use or produce more errors in the extraction of elevation and drainage networks when applied to flat areas. For removal of errors and to improve the accuracy in preparation of DEM and extraction of drainage network, Burada Kalava River Basin, Andhra Pradesh, India has been taken for application of accuracy improvement algorithms. An automatic generation of drainage network and watershed using digital elevation model results in positional errors due to variations in slope and topography. This study aimed to generate a catchment area and stream network that closely represent the natural stream network and the streams’ real positions. The step-by-step methodology using GRASS-interfaced Quantum GIS algorithms are given for pre-processing of DEM data to improve the positional accuracy before automatic extraction of the stream network and catchment area to resemble the real situation of the watershed. Secondly, efforts are made to analyze the DEM during automatic generation of the stream network and catchment area by assigning various area threshold values, including the application of pour point coordinates in improving the stream network and watershed characteristics. The results are verified and validated with the field information in order to improve the accuracy levels of DEM quality in generation of drainage network and catchment area.","PeriodicalId":502626,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Geography.
