Erosion features map is one of the basic maps in erosion and sediment studies considered important in watershed management programs. For preparing soil erosion features map (1:250000 scale), a study was conducted in Jajroud sub-basin of Tehran, Iran. Working unit maps were prepared from integrating: A) plant cover, geology and slope B) land-use, geology and slope C) land-use, rocks sensitivit...

Satellite data use is finding global applications because they provide repeated cover, broad information, high electromagnetic spectral resolution, and software-hardware compatibilities. This study aims to evaluate of the Landsat TM data capabilities in land-use mapping of Bazoft River basin (Chahar Mahale Bakhtiary Province). Six spectral bands of the Landsate TM were employed to produce land-...

LISS IV sensor's data from IRS-P6 satellite was used to produce land use map of eastern region of Isfahan, the studied part of which has an area of 22121 hectares. Its three band data, namely band 2 (Green), band 3 (Red) and band 4 (Near infra red) of LISS-IV sensor images with 5.8 m ground resolution were georeferenced by nearest neighbor method and first-order polynomial model to the DEM map ...

Extended abstract 1- Introduction      Land use includes all types of land uses to meet different human needs. In other words, land use refers to the type of human use of land, and this type of use is related to the value of the land and (its) natural characteristics. To understand and identify, land use changes using satellite data to provide a broad and integrated view of an area, reproduci...

Land use change is an essential determinant factor in hydrological processes and it affects many of them. Simulation of land use changes, rise in residential and agricultural area and its effects are among the most important issues related to the watershed management. The objective of this research is land use change detection in the past and simulation of future land use using CLUE-s Model. At...

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 ...
