Spatio-temporal Analysis of Land Use/Land Cover Changes in Urban Forest Ecosystem

Mining Association Rules in Spatio-Temporal Data: An Analysis of Urban Socioeconomic and Land Cover Change

This research demonstrates the application of association rule mining to spatio-temporal data. Association rule mining seeks to discover associations among transactions encoded in a database. An association rule takes the form A → B where A (the antecedent) and B (the consequent) are sets of predicates. A spatio-temporal association rule occurs when there is a spatio-temporal relationship in th...

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...

Spatio-temporal Land Use/land Cover Analysis of Murree Using Remote Sensing and Gis

1 Land use land cover (LULC) patterns are significantly effecting the urban/rural spaces in the encompassing areas. Murree being tourist resort is always under pressure of tourists from all over the country. The population increase in peak season of tourism in summer season and extreme winter, causes a tremendous growth and expansion of urban area of Murree. So a relic of blue pine forest and C...

Spatio-temporal analysis of snow cover in Iran based on topographic characteristics

Integrated simulation of spatio-temporal dynamics for developing scenarios of land-use and land-cover changes around Maduganga estuary 114 6 INTEGRATED SIMULATION OF SPATIO-TEMPORAL DYNAMICS FOR DEVELOPING SCENARIOS OF LAND-USE AND LAND-COVER CHANGES AROUND MADUGANGA ESTUARY

The previous chapters have shown the complexity of the interplay between socioeconomic and biophysical factors including human decision making, when attempting to model LUCC in an integrated way. This complexity implies further aspects such as uncertainty and contingency, and thus makes it impossible to develop accurate predictions about the future development of human-influenced landscapes (Pe...
