Land use change modelling, especially if done in a spatially-explicit, integrated and multi-scale manner, is an important technique for the projection of alternative pathways into the future, for conducting experiments that test our understanding of key processes in land use changes.

Based on the result of the first land resources survey in Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) carried out in the late 1980s, land-use map of Lhasa area in 1990 is produced using aerial photographs obtained in April, May, and October 1991 for the main agricultural area in the river valleys and Landsat TM images acquired in the late 1980s and 1991 for the rest

Land-Use Change, Risk and Land-Use Management
2011This chapter focuses on flood risk analysis and risk prevention in Santiago de Chile. It presents a conceptual framework for flood risk analysis in urban areas and demonstrates the utility of a mixed set of methods, including remote sensing and GIS techniques, to improve the methodological basis for flood risk assessment and risk prevention. Population

Synergistic effects of climate and land‐use change influence broad‐scale avian population declines
Global Change Biology, 2019Climate and land‐use changes are expected to be the primary drivers of future global biodiversity loss. Although theory suggests that these factors impact species synergistically, past studies have either focused on only one in isolation or have ...

Using Recent Land Use Changes to Validate Land Use Change Models [PDF]
, 2014 Economics models used by California, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the EU Commission all predict significant emissions from conversion of land from forest and pasture to cropland in response to increased biofuel production. The models attrib-ute all supply response not captured by increased crop yields to land use conversion on the extensive

Maps defining the susceptibility of a region to acidic precipitation have traditionally concentrated on distributions of soil, drift and geology (see Chap. 5). Each of these parameters is constant over medium timescales.

Land Use Policy, 2009
The management of land-use change has been achieved in Britain through the development control system. Set up in its modern form in 1947, the system has remained substantially unchanged in spite of a radically altered policy environment. This paper considers the nature of the system and notes both its robustness and its flexibility as well as the ...

What is land use and land use change?
2018Human use and alteration of land has profound effects on the environment, both locally where it takes place, and at the planetary scale via climate change and other mechanisms. This building block explains what is meant by land use and land use change, both direct and indirect.
