Humans carry out fundamental activities like agriculture, mineral extraction, and home building on land. Through these activities, they inscribe revealing patterns in landscapes, patterns that promote affluence, degrade habitats, and indicate growing inequalities among humans.

Modeling Land-Use and Land-Cover Change
2006The decade since the initiation of the Land-Use/Cover Change (LUCC) project in 1995 (see Chap. 1) has witnessed considerable advances in the field of modeling of land-use/cover change. The science plan of the project indicated that the major task would be the development of a new generation of land-use/cover change models capable of simulating the ...

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

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.

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 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.

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-
