MEASURING PERFORMANCE OF LAND USE MODELS An Evaluation Framework for the Calibration and Validation of Integrated Land Use Models Featuring Cellular Automata

چکیده
The automated calibration and validation of integrated land use models requires objective quantification of model performance at different levels of abstraction. This paper puts forward a calibration and validation routine and specifically focuses on the procedures for evaluating the model output. It is found that although a fully objective procedure is not yet available, a major part of the analytical tasks can be automated.

INTRODUCTION Since the land use change affects many natural processes including soil erosion and sediment yield, floods and soil degradation and the chemical and physical properties of soil, so, different aspects of land use changes in the past and future should be considered particularly in the planning and decision-making. One of the most important applications of remote sensing is land ...

متن کاملThe SLEUTH Land Use Change Model: A Review
Land use change is driven by interaction in space and time between humans and the environment that can be captured by computer simulation models (Veldkamp and Verburg, 2004). In the last few decades, land use change models have played an important role in understanding the causes, mechanisms and consequences of land use dynamics. SLEUTH is an open source cellular automata based land use change ...
