Urban development has enlarged the modification of natural resources and has changed land use and land cover patterns. Urbanization is a process of increase of modernization system which modifies the socioeconomic activities and revolutionizes the land use practice according to time frame. Due to the proximate and underlying causes, land use and land cover change has become the main challenge o...

Over recent years, remotely sensed data and spatial analysis techniques by providing timely and relatively inexpensive information, has proved useful for inventorying and motoring of widelife habitat in protected areas. To investigate on land cover pattern and the land use change in the Pendjari Biosphere Reserve , a time series of satellite imageries including LANDSAT TM and SPOT XS were used ...

Implementation of the Grain for Green program (GGP) intensifies land use/cover change (LUCC) in loess hilly-gully region. Clarifying response LUCC to GGP and its driving forces are basic premises implement more effectively alleviating soil erosion this This study analyzed spatio-temporal characteristics conversion cultivated forest grassland two periods 2000–2010 2010–2018. The transition matri...

Time sequential Landsat MSS and TM images were used to map land use/cover of the Atlanta metropolitan area for the past 25 years as a component of the NASA-funded Project ATLANTA (ATlanta Land-use ANalysis: Temperature and Air-quality), which has the objective to model the impact of land use/cover change on temperature and air quality in Atlanta. This paper describes a suite of techniques that ...

Currently, the world is in a period of urbanization that will accelerate processes land use cover and ecological change. Thus, establishing change (LUCC) prediction simulation model great significance for understanding process urban assessing its impact. In previous studies, LUCC models have been mainly based on cellular automata (CA) structures calculate future state pixel by through transitio...
