Many countries in Central and Eastern Europe have been undergoing marked economic changes following the collapse of the former “Eastern Bloc” and totalitarian regimes. In the Czech Republic, this transition has had a profound effect on land use management that subsequently results in widespread land cover changes. This study analyzes trends in land use/land cover changes (LULCC) in the context ...

Mapping land use/land cover (LULC) changes at regional scales is essential for a wide range of applications, including landslide, erosion, land planning, global warming etc. LULC alterations (based especially on human activities), negatively effect the patterns of climate, the patterns of natural hazard and socio-economic dynamics in global and local scale. In this study, LULC changes are inves...

In the presented methodology, multitemporal Landsat images were used to develop enhanced information about complex assemblages of vegetation and patterns of seasonal land cover variability, thereby facilitating improved land use and land cover (LULC) classification of urbanized areas among sensitive environments along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. For Landsat-5 and Landsat-7 images acquired for l...

We present a methodology to detect terrain mobilization in the years following a fire using multitemporal Landsat TM imagery. Furthermore, we show the spectral evolution of the land cover since fire occurrence, and analyze the feasibility of detecting the type of land cover a number of years after fire occurrence. The methodology developed here is a spectral change identification technique base...
