Machine Learning Algorithms for Urban Land Use Planning: A Review

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Dear Authors,

Thank you for a thoughtful research. I really enjoy reading it. I have two comments.

Lines 288-289: please provide the list of keywords and structure of these keywords used to ensure the results could be reproductive

I strongly recommend the authors add at least a table to show the performance of ML algorithm and statistical approaches for studies reviewed.

Reviewer 2 Report

The manuscript entitled “Machine learning algorithms for urban land use planning: A review”, by W.T. de Vries and V. Chaturvedi, presents an interesting work.

In general, the manuscript should be acceptable for publication but some serious problems must be repaired prior to publication. It needs some significant improvement. Some suggestions are as follows:

1. Please use different terms in the “Title” and the “Keywords”.
2. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone.
3. The English language usage should be checked by a fluent English speaker. It is suggested to the authors to take the assistance of someone with English as mother tongue.
4. It would be useful to be described the aim of this paper.
5. You could enrich the scientific literature.
6. Please justify convincingly why this manuscript (method, thematology etc) connected with Urbansci’s content and scope. Perhaps the using of proper literature would be helpful.
7. Correct references in the text and the reference list according to the journal’s format.
8. Please be careful with the spaces between the words.

Reviewer 3 Report

Dear authors,

I am glad I have the opportunity to review your manuscript. The paper is well composed and the structure is correct. The literature review is current and the main research hypothesis is very interesting. My only recommendation is to add a discussion section and a deeper analysis of the limitations of this research. I congratulate the authors for their research.

Kind regards
