Urban expansion is considered as one of the most important problems in several developing countries. Bangkok Metropolitan Region (BMR) is the urbanized and agglomerated area of Bangkok Metropolis (BM) and its vicinity, which confronts the expansion problem from the center of the city. Landsat images of 1988, 1993, 1998, 2003, 2008, and 2011 were used to detect the land use and land cover (LULC)...

Land use land cover (LULC) changes frequently in ecotones due to the large climate and soil gradients, and complex landscape composition and configuration. Accurate mapping of LULC changes in ecotones is of great importance for assessment of ecosystem functions/services and policy-decision support. Decadal or sub-decadal mapping of LULC provides scenarios for modeling biogeochemical processes a...

urban expansion and agriculture intensification are relevant drivers in land degradation (ld)processes in europe due to net loss of land, soil sealing, landscape fragmentation and other negative effects on the environment. this paper explores changes (or “trajectories” of change) in land use and cover (lulc) and their relationship with the consumption of soils in emilia-romagna (northern italy)...

The increasing human pressure on African regions is recognizable when looking at Land Use Cover (LULC) change maps, generally derived from satellite imagery. Using the Ethiopian Fincha watershed as a case study, present work focuses (i) identifying historical LULC in period 1989–2019; (ii) estimating next thirty years, combining Geographical Information Systems (GIS) with Change Modelling (LCM)...

Unsustainable management of land resources aggravates degradation. An accurate assessment soil erosion is needed to reduce the problem loss in highly fragile mountainous areas. Modeling impact LULCC on a vital process for watershed planning. This study aimed examine effect changing LULC upper Mile sub watershed, North Eastern highlands Ethiopia. It was done by quantifying and evaluating over ye...

In this study we explored the potential of multi-temporal IRS P6 (Resourcesat) Advanced Wide Field Sensor (AWiFS) data for mapping of LULC for Delhi, India. The study presents the result of a decision tree classification of seasonal composite data (three seasons). The study has identified 13 classes with description of cropping pattern namely, double crops, kharif, rabi and zaid from 56 m spati...

Globally, rapid urban expansion has caused green spaces in areas to decline considerably. In this study, the of three Southeast Asia cities were considered, namely, Kuala Lumpur City, Malaysia; Jakarta, Indonesia; and Metro Manila, Philippines. This study evaluates changes spatial temporal patterns space structure over last two decades. Land use land cover (LULC) maps (1988/1989, 1999 2014) dev...

Land use/land cover (LULC) changes have become a central issue in current global change and sustainability research. Saudi Arabia has undergone significant change in land use and land cover since the government embarked on a course of intense national development 30 years ago, as a result of huge national oil revenues. This study evaluates LULC change in Makkah and Al-Taif, Saudi Arabia from 19...

This study examines the spatial and temporal patterns of the surface urban heat island (SUHI) intensity in the Phoenix metropolitan area and the relationship with land use land cover (LULC) change between 2000 and 2014. The objective is to identify specific regions in Phoenix that have been increasingly heated and cooled to further understand how LULC change influences the SUHI intensity. The d...
