We propose a spatial disaggregation tool to help researchers make the best use of aggregated data in studies of land use. The proposed approach uses parcel-level agricultural data in conjunction with biophysical processes to break down agricultural regional data to the pixel level. It is a two-step procedure. First, we estimate a landuse model using a multinomial logit model. Second, we disaggr...

Economists have argued that commonly held African rangelands are suffering widespread degradation due to overstocking. However, in many areas, degradation is localized rather than widespread. Current common property models are insufficient for analysis of such degradation. A model is developed identifying conditions leading to spatial differences in rangeland condition. Analysis of longitudinal...

Change detection is the measure of the distinct data framework and thematic change information that can guide to more tangible insights into underlying process involving land cover and land use changes than the information obtained from continuous change. Digital change detection is the process that helps in determining the changes associated with landuse and land cover properties with referenc...

Abstract Classification and analysis of high-resolution satellite images using conventional techniques have been limited. This is due to the complex characteristics imagery. These are characterized by features such as spectral signatures, texture shape, spatial relationships temporal changes. In this research, we present performance evaluation deep learning approaches based on Convolutional Neu...

The study aims to predict urban growth and its impact on agricultural use open space in the Greater Municipality of Irbid. relied simulation model, cellular automation LandUse Sim. model was tested two scenarios; first scenario assumed that: Irbid allowed users change land Agricultural urban. As for second scenario, that municipality prevented from changing urbanuse. found area increased by 10....

Land desertification is one of the most serious environmental and social-economic problems in the North China. The processes of desertification mainly have being controlled by the interaction of human activities and fragile eco-environment, that means the pattern and intension of landuse are major factors for development or reverse of desertification. Because of the increasing pressure of popul...
