Modelling LULC

, 2019
This study extends upon the results of [1] to include the modeling of Land use/Land cover (LULC). This study looks at the changes that occurred from 2010 to 2030 in Tikrit district, Iraq by predicting LULC for the year target 2030 by using the classified images for two points of time (2000 - 2010) as a foundation for the modeling process. The projected

Evaluation of Six Local Climate Zones Mapping Methods to Determine the Most Accurate LCZ Classification Method for UHI Studies: The Case Study of Kuala Lumpur and Singapore

Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban heat islands (UHIs) pose a significant environmental issue in rapidly urbanizing areas, intensifying the need for accurate methods to assess and mitigate their effects. The Local Climate Zones (LCZ) classification system is a standardized land use approach for urban heat island (UHI) research.

Generating Up-to-Date and Detailed Land Use and Land Cover Maps Using OpenStreetMap and GlobeLand30 [PDF]

, 2017
With the opening up of the Landsat archive, global high resolution land cover maps have begun to appear. However, they often have only a small number of high level land cover classes and they are static products, corresponding to a particular period of ...

From the Capital to the Interior: Urban Planning's Impact on Forests and Landscape Metrics in South Brazil

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 104-119, 15 January 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban planning can show deficiencies in implementing infrastructure, especially green infrastructure, resulting in disparities between urban development, environmental quality, and quality of life. However, effective management of green infrastructure and consequently urban forests is crucial for enhancing essential ecosystem services.

GIS-based delineation of local climate zones: The case of medium-sized Central European cities

Moravian Geographical Reports, 2016
Stewart and Oke (2012) recently proposed the concept of Local Climate Zones (LCZ) to describe the siting of urban meteorological stations and to improve the presentation of results amongst researchers. There is now a concerted effort, however, within the

Spatiotemporal Impacts of Forest Fires on Mountain Vegetation: A Case Study From Langtang National Park, Nepal Himalaya

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
A good positive correlation was found between maximum temperature and burn area; increased temperature relates to an increase in fire activity and larger burn areas. Grassland and needle leaf forests are the major land cover types with relatively high fire frequency, likely due to flammable biomass and seasonal dryness, while broad leaved closed ...
