Incorporating dynamics of land use and land cover changes into tsunami numerical modelling for future tsunamis in Banda Aceh

Analysis of Changes of Land use/Cover by using SWOT Matrix for Compling Solution for Land Use Sustainable Management of land use in Taleghan, Iran

  Substantial population growth and urbanization arbitrarily banning the exploitation of natural resources and environmental factors adversely impacts the environment and resources necessary for nutrition and healthy life styles. The secret to success and survival of ecosystems depends on a stable, continuous monitoring of the environment. The SWOT model has been developedto consider all int...

Land use and land cover spatiotemporal dynamic pattern and predicting changes using integrated CA-Markov model

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...

Detection of Land-use and Land Cover Changes

Florida Panhandle region has been experiencing rapid land transformation in the recent decades. To quantify land use and land-cover (LULC) changes and other landscape changes in this area, three counties including Franklin, Liberty and Gulf were taken as a case study and an unsupervised classification approach implemented to Landsat TM images acquired from 1985 to 2005 provided a time-series of...

Monitoring and assessment of land use/land cover changes in Kashkan basin using futures studies approach in managing ecosystem services

Land use/cover change is one of the main factors in environmental changes. The changes directly affect the value of ecosystem services. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the effect of land use/land cover change in the Kashkan area on its ecosystem services. This research was carried out in three stages, including the analysis of land cover changes, prediction of changes, and carbon st...
