Satellite remote sensing technology and the science associated with evaluation of land use and land cover (LULC) in an urban region makes use of the wide range images and algorithms. Improved land management capacity is critically dependent on real-time or near real-time monitoring of land-use/land cover change (LUCC) to the extent to which solutions to a whole host of urban/rural interface dev...

Identifying key ecological nodes/corridors and priority restoration areas (KENPRA) is the link for optimizing land use security patterns (ESPs). However, few studies have considered future use/cover change (LUCC) urban sprawl in identifying KENPRA ESP maintenance. To optimize KENPRA, we took Quanjiao County, Anhui Province, China as a case study area, typical unit Chinese Land Spatial Planning ...

Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) offer a conceptual approach to include multi-actor decision making into models of land use change. Through the simulation based on the MAS, this paper tries to show the application of MAS in the micro scale LUCC, and reveal the transformation mechanism of difference scale. This paper starts with a description of the context of MAS research. Then, it adopts the Nested S...

The temporal non-stationarity of land use and cover change (LUCC) processes is one the main sources uncertainty that may influence calibration validation spatial path-dependent LUCC models. In relation to that, this research aims investigate on urban growth modeling accuracy based an empirical approach uses past LUCC. Accordingly, development in Rennes Metropolitan (France) was simulated using ...

Cellular automata (CA) models have increasingly been used to simulate land use/cover changes (LUCC). Metaheuristic optimization algorithms such as particle swarm (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA) recently introduced into CA frameworks generate more accurate simulations. Although Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is simpler than PSO GA, it rarely calibrate models. In this article, we introduce a no...

Land use/land cover change (LUCC) detection based on optical remote-sensing images is an important research direction in the field of remote sensing. The key to it select appropriate data source and method. In recent years, continuous expansion construction land urban areas has become main reason for increase LUCC demand. However, due complexity diversity land-cover types, difficult obtain high...
