MAPPING OF LAND RESOURCES USING GIS IN UZBEKISTAN

Urban land use mapping using register data and standard GIS

This paper will show one way to generate land use maps from register data. The register data used here is the Danish Building and Dwelling Register (BBR). The thematic result map showing urban land use will be based on a regular grid net with cell size of 100 m by 100 m. Each cell will be classified, based on the information on the buildings falling inside that cell. This paper will also presen...

The Impact of Land Use/Land Cover Changes on Groundwater Resources Using Remote Sensing & GIS (Case Study: Khan-Mirza Plain)

Hydrological status and water table fluctuations are directly related to land use and/or land cover (LULC) changes in each area. In this research, the impact of LULC changes on groundwater quantity and quality of Khan-Mirza Plain, in the northern Karun watersheds, was investigated. For this purpose, Landsat 5, 7 and 8 satellite images and ETM and OLI sensors were employed to prepare the L...

Assessment and Mapping of Land Degradation in Abuzaydabad, Iran using an IMDPA Model with Emphasis on Land Criteria

Land degradation, or desertification, is specific to arid, semi-arid, and dry sub-humid regions. The rate of thisphenomenon is high in developing countries such as Iran. This research investigated desertification and mapping ofdesertification in Abuzaydabad, near Kashan, Iran, with an emphasis on land criteria using an IMDPA model.Different studies have assessed land degradation or desertificat...

Sydney Timemap: Integrating Historical Resources using GIS

Urban Sprawl Mapping and Land Use Change Detection Using Remote Sensing and GIS

Urban growth identification, quantification, and the knowledge of rate and trends of growth helps in determining the changes associated with land use and land cover properties and in regional planning with better infrastructure in environmentally sound way. Spatial and temporal technologies such as Remote Sensing, Geographic Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) are very ...
