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...

the present study aimed to monitor the land use change in the shazand watershed with different development policies using land use net changes and exchanges in land change modeller (lcm) forperiod of1973to2014and in sub-watersheds scale. in the study period, rangeland area reduced about 380 km2 and rainfed and irrigation farm lands increased successively 100 and 150 km2 in the first and the sec...

extended abstract 1.introduction today the role and the importance of open and green spaces are significantly increasing in the environment and the quality of building complex. therefore, open and green spaces are considered as intrinsic, parts of land use planning decision in most countries. the gardens in the city of jahrom are the indexes of iranian thought and creativity and also the climat...

Objective: The aim of this study is to provide a management plan for the Sykan watershed of Darre shahr city located in Ilam province using GIS in land use planning. Methods: For land using of Sykan watershed of Ilam province with about 9 hectares area, map of classes, elevation, percent slope, geographical aspects, soil characteristics, vegetation density and the final map units were combined ...

the present study aims to simulate the spatial pattern of land use change in lisar protected area,iran. land cover maps for 1989, 2000, and 2007 were depicted using tm, etm+, and irs liss-iii images ofthe area at stake. images were classified using a merge of unsupervised and supervised classification. camarkov model was used to predict land cover maps as a top-down approach in investigating la...

the growing population and increasing socio-economic necessitiescreates a pressure on land use/land cover. nowadays, land use change detection using remote sensing data provides quantitative and timely information for management and evaluation of natural resources. this study investigates the land use changes in part of hableh rood watershed of iran using landsat 7 and 8 (sensor etm+ and oli) i...
