Opportunities to improve impact, integration, and evaluation of land change models

چکیده
Land change modeling supports analyses, assessments, and decisions concerning land management by providing a platform for both encoding mechanisms of land-change processes and making projections of future land-cover and land-use patterns. Approaches have ranged from patternbased methods, such as machine learning models, to structural or process-based methods, such as economic or agent-based models. Selection of the appropriate modeling approach for a given scientific or decision making purpose is essential. Additionally, we argue that more needs to be done to develop and disseminate methods for evaluating land-change models (LCMs). The profession needs better data to support the use of LCMs, integration of models that operate at various scales, and combinations of models that address both positive and normative aspects of land use and land cover patterns and dynamics

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 ...
