Open land-use map: a regional land-use mapping strategy for incorporating OpenStreetMap with earth observations

Land-cover and Land-use Mapping

Land cover land use mapping and change detection analysis using geographic information system and remote sensing

Land cover/land use categories are relevant components in land management. Understanding how land cover/land use change over time is necessary to assess the consequences of humans and natural stressors on the earth’s environment and resources. The aim of the study was to map and monitor the spatial and temporal change in land cover/land use for the periods of 1977, 1991 and 2016 and to predict ...

Land-Use/Convection/Regional Climate

This paper reviews the cumulative effect of land-cover change on local, regional, and global weather and climate. Documented land-cover changes from 1700 to the present are shown to be particularly significant in the tropics. Model results are presented which show the teleconnection of weather patterns worldwide result from these landscape changes.

Analysis of Changes of Land use/Cover by using SWOT Matrix for Compling Solution for Land Use Sustainable Management of land use in Taleghan, Iran

  Substantial population growth and urbanization arbitrarily banning the exploitation of natural resources and environmental factors adversely impacts the environment and resources necessary for nutrition and healthy life styles. The secret to success and survival of ecosystems depends on a stable, continuous monitoring of the environment. The SWOT model has been developedto consider all int...

Satellite Image Processing for Land Use and Land Cover Mapping

In this paper, urban growth of Bangalore region is analyzed and discussed by using multi-temporal and multi-spectral Landsat satellite images. Urban growth analysis helps in understanding the change detection of Bangalore region. The change detection is studied over a period of 39 years and the region of interest covers an area of 2182 km 2 . The main cause for urban growth is the increase in p...
