abstract

modeling and prediction of land use/cover changes is an essential need for planning sustainable use of land in country like iran with its high level of changes in land uses and land covers. this study aimed to analyze the capability of ca markov prediction model and landsat satellite images for land use/cover change detection within the framework of “iran at 1404 prospective” in esfarayen region, north khorasan province for year 2025. the results of ca markov modeling showed a reduction about 5000 and 400 ha in irrigated agricultural lands and rangeland class in 2025, respectively. furthermore, the model predicted that the poor rangeland class and esfarayen city will be increased 30 and 450 ha in 13 years from 2009 to 2025. according to the results, if current land use continues to intensify regardless of sustainable development considerations, severe degradation in the natural resources of the study area is unavoidable in the future. overall, the results demonstrate that satellite remote sensing data and ca markov model can be successfully used to predict land use/ cover changes and the extracted maps can help policy makers to make better decision for the future of the region.

Detection and prediction of land use/ land cover changes using Markov chain model and Cellular Automata (CA-Markov), (Case study: Darab plain)

unprincipled changes in land use are major challenges for many countries and different regions of the world, which in turn have devastating effects on natural resources, Therefore, the study of land-use changes has a fundamental and important role for environmental studies. The purpose of this study is to detect and predicting of land use/ land cover (LULC) changes in Darab plain through the Ma...

land use change prediction using a hybrid (ca-markov) model

landsat data for 1992, 2000, and 2013 land use changes for ekbatan dam watershed was simulated through ca-markov” model. two classification methods were initially used, viz. the maximum likelihood (mal) and support vector machine (svm). although both methods showed high overall accuracy and kappa coefficient, visually mal failed in separating land uses, particularly built up and dry lands.there...

Prediction of Land Use Change and its Hydrological Effects Using Markov Chain Model and SWAT Model

Access to current and future water resources is one of the concerned problems for managers and policymakers around the world. Because of the communication between water resources and land use, these two topics had come together in different researches. Scenarios designed in regional land planning provide the basis for analyzing the existing opportunities and making the right decisions for manag...

Simulation and prediction of land use and land cover change using GIS, remote sensing and CA-Markov model

This study analyzes the characteristics of land use/land cover change in Jordan’s Irbid governorate, 1984–2018, and predicts future land use/land cover for 2030 and 2050 using a cellular automata-Markov model. The results inform planners and decision makers of past and current spatial dynamics of land use/land cover change and predicted urban expansion, for a better understanding and successful...

Land use and land cover spatiotemporal dynamic pattern and predicting changes using integrated CA-Markov model

Analyzing the process of land use and cover changes during long periods of time and predicting the future changes is highly important and useful for the land use managers. In this study, the land use maps in the Ardabil plain in north-west part of Iran for four periods (1989, 1998, 2009 and 2013) are extracted and analyzed through remote sensing technique, using the land-sat satellite images. T...
