abstract decadal changes in land use/land cover for balachaur watershed in nawanshahar district, punjab, india were studied using black and white aerial photographs for march 1984 on approximately 1:20,000 scale and multidate geocoded false colour composites (fcc) of irs-1d liss-iii on 1:50,000 scale for march 2002, september 2002, and may 2003 and interpreted visually to prepare land use/land ...

the present study aims to simulate the spatial pattern of land use change in lisar protected area,iran. land cover maps for 1989, 2000, and 2007 were depicted using tm, etm+, and irs liss-iii images ofthe area at stake. images were classified using a merge of unsupervised and supervised classification. camarkov model was used to predict land cover maps as a top-down approach in investigating la...
