Summary: This article compares two methods for measuring the movement of boundaries over time: the Area method and the Transect method. The Transect method requires subjective decisions near shorelines, while the Area method quantifies temporal changes by converting them into polygons. Researchers can align the method with their research question based on the characteristics of each method.

Summary: The Oluvil coastline in Sri Lanka experienced significant changes in shoreline dynamics over a two-decade period from 1991 to 2021, primarily due to harbor construction. The study found that erosion occurred in an area of 40 hectares, while an area of 84.44 hectares experienced accretion. These findings are valuable for sustainable coastal zone management and protection of coastal habitats along the Oluvil coast in Sri Lanka.

Summary: Shoreline changes in the delta regions, which play a significant role in ecological life, economic development, and human settlement, have become a growing concern in recent years. Analyzing spatial and temporal changes in shoreline position and shape is crucial for understanding the impact of natural and anthropogenic forces. This study used the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) to analyze 46 years of spatiotemporal shoreline change in the Meric Delta, utilizing End Point Rate (EPR), Net Shoreline Movement (NSM), and Linear Regression (LRR) statistics. The results revealed a mixture of accretion and erosion processes, with accretion dominating the shoreline over the 46-year period.

Summary: Coastal vulnerability assessment is crucial for managing and developing coastal areas. This study focused on the shoreline changes of Farasan Island in Saudi Arabia using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System and Landsat data. The results showed changes in vegetation area, with an increase during 1975-1989 and a decrease during 1990-2020. Built-up land also increased to accommodate population growth. The annual temperature showed an increasing trend. Sea-level rise caused shifts in the island's shoreline and a reduction of land area. The most influenced areas were identified. Proper attention, management, policies, and awareness planning are needed to protect the island's environment and plan for climate change adaptation.

Summary: The study aims to determine suitable locations for municipal solid waste landfills by considering multiple parameters to limit harm to the environment and human health, and provides three different weighting methods to assist decision-makers. The results show that in the early stage of spatial planning, simple methods may already be sufficient, while considering the intersection of three methods may be the ideal choice when determining the specific site range.

Summary: The aim of this study was to identify the best fields for rice production using BWM-GIS integration based on soil properties. Nine soil quality parameters were analyzed and included in the RSI model. The results showed that Vertisol soils had the highest RSI value, while Entisol soils had the lowest RSI value. In addition, Typic Calciustert soils, despite having high clay content, were classified as low RSI due to their high slope. The findings of this study are important for environmental conservation and future land use policy.
