Population Growth and Land Use Dynamics along Urban–Rural Gradient [PDF]
In this study we apply a spatial conditional logit model to determine factors influencing land cover change in three contiguous counties in West Georgia between 1992 and 2001 using point (pixel) based observations of land characteristics.

THE DYNAMICS OF LAND-COVER CHANGE IN WESTERN HONDURAS: SPATIAL AUTOCORRELATION AND TEMPORAL VARIATION [PDF]
This paper presents an econometric analysis of land-cover change in western Honduras. Ground-truthed satellite image analysis indicates that between 1987 and 1996, net reforestation occurred in the 1,015.12 km2 study region.

Modeling Land-Use Land-Cover Change Complexity
International Journal of System Dynamics ApplicationsQualitative models help policymakers understand land-use changes by examining the processes involved and predicting future patterns. This study aims to use dynamic synthesis methodology to establish cause-and-effect relationships. The study, conducted in the Mt.

Satellite-Based Assessment of Grassland Conversion and Related Fire Disturbance in the Kenai Peninsula, Alaska [PDF]
Spruce beetle-induced (Dendroctonus rufipennis (Kirby)) mortality on the Kenai Peninsula has been hypothesized by local ecologists to result in the conversion of forest to grassland and subsequent increased fire danger. This hypothesis stands in contrast

A LITERATURE REVIEW ON LAND USE LAND COVER CHANGES.
International Journal of Advanced Research, 2018 The present paper discusses the phenomena of land use and land cover (LULC) which has undergone constant changes over the past few decades due to major variations in the environment caused by anthropogenic and natural factors. A comprehensive review of the studies has done so far in which a decreasing pattern in land use land coverage has been ...
