Land cover land use mapping and change detection analysis using geographic information system and remote sensing
Land cover/land use categories are relevant components in land management. Understanding how land cover/land use change over time is necessary to assess the consequences of humans and natural stressors on the earth’s environment and resources. The aim of the study was to map and monitor the spatial and temporal change in land cover/land use for the periods of 1977, 1991 and 2016 and to predict ...
متن کاملDetermination of land degradation causes in Tongyu County, Northeast China via land cover change detection
Tongyu County in Northeast China is highly prone to land degradation due to its fragile physical settings characterized by a flat topography, a semi-arid climate, and a shallow groundwater table. This study aims to determine the causes of land degradation through detecting the long-term trend of land cover changes. Degraded lands were mapped from satellite images recorded in 1992 and 2002. Thes...
متن کاملLand Cover Change Detection Using Texture Analysis
Problem statement: It is an important task to detect land cover changes from remotely sensed data for environmental monitoring. Although there are some applications of visual textures to the land use, they are limited to a few land cover categories with the application of one texture measure. Since land cover types are complex and often the integration of various objects, applying one texture m...
متن کاملLand cover change detection in northern Belarus
Study deals with the land cover dynamics analysis using remote sensing data over urban, suburban area in northern Belarus (Polotsk and Novopolotsk cities and surroundings) over the period 1994 – 2002. SPOT 3 and 5 images are used for the study. Land cover change detection is conducted using image differencing and post-classification comparison methods. Several classification methods are tested ...
متن کاملThe causes of land-use and land-cover change: moving beyond the myths
Common understanding of the causes of land-use and land-cover change is dominated by simplifications which, in turn, underlie many environment-development policies. This article tracks some of the major myths on driving forces of land-cover change and proposes alternative pathways of change that are better supported by case study evidence. Cases reviewed support the conclusion that neither popu...
