Land use change

Geoforum, 1984
Abstract Despite decades of interest by geographers in patterns and processes of land use change, the data base for such studies is at best fragmentary. In the absence of an adequate land inventory, it is difficult to see how an effective land planning and allocation system can be devised to meet future social, economic and ecological needs.

Land-Use Land-Cover Change

2013
Land use/land cover changes are occurring at greater pace than ever before in human history. Within the context of land use/land cover change, changes to forest cover are extremely important particularly for rich biodiversity hotspots. This chapter addresses the question: what is the quantum of forest cover loss in the the Hamren sub-division, the Rani-

Land Use Change

2019
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

Using Recent Land Use Changes to Validate Land Use Change Models [PDF]

open access: possible, 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

Land-Use/Land-Cover Change Detection Using Improved Change-Vector Analysis

Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing, 2003
Change-vector analysis (CVA) is a valuable technique for landuse/land-cover change detection. However, how to reasonably determine thresholds of change magnitude and change direction is a bottleneck to its proper application. In this paper, a new method is proposed to improve CVA.

Land cover change or land‐use intensification: simulating land system change with a global‐scale land change model

Global Change Biology, 2013
AbstractLand‐use change is both a cause and consequence of many biophysical and socioeconomic changes. The CLUMondo model provides an innovative approach for global land‐use change modeling to support integrated assessments. Demands for goods and services are, in the model, supplied by a variety of land systems that are characterized by their land ...

Urban Land Use Land Cover Change

2017
Indian cities are on the cross roads of rapid urban growth, which calls for meticulous and everlasting urban spatial planning. Cities live for longer and it should be compatible for the future growth. The previous mistakes committed in the land use planning have lead to many serious issues like floods (e.g., Chennai 2015 and Mumbai 2005 Floods) fire ...

Predicting land-use change

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2001
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.

Land-Use Change, Risk and Land-Use Management

2011
This 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.
