  1. aCorrespond to LSM studies in urban areas
  2. bThis modelling presented 35 factors; a summarized version of 13 is presented in this table
  3. cFor this classification, these factors have been grouped in the hydrology. However, they are also considered in the topography
  4. dOther DTM derivatives include: openness, side exposure index, hillshade, flow direction, and roughness
  5. Notes:
  6. 1. Diversity of factors for modelling have been classified by authors, criteria may vary
  7. 2. The selection of factors varies according to approaches. For instance, 7, 8, and 9 involve a wide range of topography-related factors
