multi-spectral remotely sensed data is useful information source for the detection of surface changes and change detection is a major application of the remotely sensed data. this study is conducted to investigate capability of sensor liss-iii of irs-p6resource satellite data for providing land cover map, in najm abad of savojbolagh region with 20000 ha area. the images of 26th june, 2006 were ...

Predicting the impact of land cover and climate change on hydrologic responses using modeling tools are essential in understanding the movement and pattern of hydrologic processes within the watershed. The paper provided potential implications of land conversions and climate change scenarios on the hydrologic processes of Muleta watershed using soil and water assessment tool model. Model inputs...

land cover mapping is important for many planning and management activities. today, satellite images and remote sensing techniques are extensively used in all sectors including agriculture and natural resources because they provide updated data and high analyzing abilities. in this study, in order to produce land cover map for the northern part of hamedan province , digital satellite data irsp6...

land cover map is important for many urban planning and management activities. in this study, in order to produce land cover map of arak city, digital image of liss-iii scanner acquired on 16 june 2006 were employed. first of all, geometric correction with rmse 0.58 pixel was applied. considering the mountainous condition of the study area, topographic correction was applied to the image. in su...

this study was done to investigation forest cover changes in the mazandaran province in topographic zones. for doing that in the first matched topographic zones and land-use map. after that distribution of forest cover was investigated in plain, lowland, middle land and high land. forest cover changes analyzed in a period of 132 years since the beginning of the destructive activities in the for...

INTRODUCTION Analyzing trends of land use systems and the changes occurred overtime is an effective way of assessing the impacts of land use/land cover (LULC) changes on ecosystem function. It provides important insights for understanding the spatial patterns of land use processes. The rangelands of southern Ethiopia are adversely affected by increased human population pressure, encroachment of...
