Inland wetlands mapping and vulnerability assessment using an integrated geographic information system and remote sensing techniques
The understanding of inland wetlands’ distribution and their level of vulnerability is important to enhance management and conservation efforts. The aim of the study was to map inland wetlands and assess their distribution pattern and vulnerability to natural and human disturbances such as climate change (temperature increase) and human activities by the year 2080. Inland wetland types i.e. for...
متن کاملRemote Sensing Based Spatial Statistics to Document Tropical Rainforest Transition Pathways
In this paper, grid cell based spatial statistics were used to quantify the drivers of land-cover and land-use change (LCLUC) and habitat degradation in a tropical rainforest in Madagascar. First, a spectral database of various land-cover and land-use information was compiled using multi-year field campaign data and photointerpretation of satellite images. Next, residential areas were extracted...
متن کاملRemote Sensing and Spatial Statistics as Tools in Crime Analysis
This chapter explores the feasibility and utility of using aerial photography or remotely sensed satellite imagery to identify geographic or " place " features that may be associated with criminal activity. It assesses whether or not variables derived from satellite images can provide surrogate relationships between land use and crime. A review of the remote sensing literature suggests two basi...
متن کاملQuantifying the trend of vegetation changes using remote sensing (Case study: Fars Province)
Investigating the sustainability of vegetation changes is one of the most important issues of vegetation management in the direction of sustainable development. It is necessary to conduct studies in this regard to select appropriate management for greater compatibility with new conditions. In this research, changes in the vegetation dynamics trend of Fars province were studied using the NDVI in...
متن کاملInvestigation of periodic changes of the Oman Sea coastline using remote sensing data and spatial analysis
Extended abstract 1- Introduction Coastal environments are one of the most sensitive environmental systems under the influence of dominant hydrodynamic processes. Coastal changes and evolution are occurring very fast. Coastal areas are now gradually becoming known as severe natural and man-made disturbances, including sea levels rising, coastal erosion and sedimentation, and over-exploitat...
