Using Satellite Data to Analyse Raw Material Consumption in Hanoi, Vietnam

In this work, we provide an innovative route for analysing urban expansion and population growth their link to the consumption of construction materials by combining satellite data with material analysis within Hanoi Province (Vietnam). Urban is investigated use landcover maps period 1975–2020 derived from satellite. During period, artificial surfaces agricultural areas have increased 11.6% 15.5%, respectively, while forests decreased 26.7%. We used publicly available datasets calculate forecast measure its statistical correlation between 2007 2018. Our results show that official figures sand are currently underestimated, 2030, steel gravel will increase even further three two times, respectively. uses a new method assess development associated impacts socio-economic Earth Observation datasets. The can evidence, underpin decision-making authorities, policymakers, planners sustainability experts, as well support informed strategies resource consumption. It also important information identifying land conservation ecological greenways during planning.
