Land cover data documents how much of a region is covered by forests wetlands impervious. Journal of Land Use Science Research on land-system and human-natural system dynamics in geography economics sociology and forestry via policy analyses and cross-site comparisons.
Land cover can be determined by analyzing satellite and aerial imagery.
Land use change journal. Land-use and land-cover changes are driving unprecedented changes in ecosystems and environmental processes at different scales. This study was aimed at identifying the potential land-use drivers in the Jedeb catchment of the Abbay basin by combining statistical analysis field investigation and. About Land-Use and Land-Cover Change.
Land cover can be determined by analyzing satellite and aerial imagery. Land use cannot be determined from satellite imagery. Land cover maps provide information to help managers best understand the current landscape.
Land cover data documents how much of a region is covered by forests wetlands impervious. Land use change is a process by which human activities transform the natural landscape referring to how land has been used usually emphasizing the functional role of land for economic activities. Land use changes are often nonlinear and might trigger feedbacks to the system stress living conditions and threaten people with vulnerability.
Land ISSN 2073-445X is an international and crossdisciplinary peer-reviewed open access journal of land useland change land management land system science landscape soil-sediment-water systems urban contexts and urban-rural interactions and landclimate interactions etc published monthly online by MDPI. Journal of Land Use Science Research on land-system and human-natural system dynamics in geography economics sociology and forestry via policy analyses and cross-site comparisons. Land use and land cover change research has been applied to landslides erosion land planning and global change.
Based on the CA-Markov model this study predicts the spatial patterns of land use in 2025 and 2036 based on the dynamic changes in land use patterns using remote sensing and geographic information system. Land use and land cover change LULC has two separate terminologies that are often used interchangeably 1. Land cover refers to the biophysical characteristics of earths surface including the distribution of vegetation water soil and other physical features of the land.
While land use refers to. Land Use Dynamics is aimed at publishing innovative insights into land use variation and the temporal dynamics of land use change as well as highlighting the driving forces behind land dynamics and their socio-ecological feedbacks. Land Use Policy is an international and interdisciplinary journal concerned with the social economic political legal physical and planning aspects of urban and rural land use.
It provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and information from the diverse range of disciplines and interest groups which must be combined to formulate effective land use policies. Due to this situation changes in land use are highly diversified between one region and another depending on the different challenges they face energy climate soils and water and the collective ability or inability of farmers to bring about a transition. Land use and land cover LULC change is the human modification of Earths terrestrial surface from existing management of the land or land cover to new management of land or new land cover type.
The nature of LULC dynamics significantly differs from country to country as the drivers of LULC change and land management activities vary from place to place. Land use and land cover LULC change is a major issue of global environment change. Scientific research community called for substantive study of land use changes during the 1972 Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment and again 20 years later at the 1992 United.
The paper focuses on assessing the changes in land use and land cover in and around Ratanpur city from 1989 to 2015 using LANDSAT satellite imageries. Land Use Land-Use Change and Forestry Report IPCC 2000 Robert T. Noble Bert Bolin N.

Land use and land cover LULC change has been shown to have significant effect on climate through various pathways that modulate land surface temperature and. This paper discusses use of pre-existing LULC maps from 1997 and 2010 to derive a LMB regional LULC change map for 9 classes per date using GIS overlay techniques. The change map was derived to aid SWAT hydrologic modeling applications in the LMB given the 2010 map is currently used in multiple LMB SWAT models whereas the 1997 map was previously used.
Most commonly the changing land use is used as an input of a model to calculate environmental process impacts such as pollution emissions erosion etc. King et al 1989. The problem with such assessments is they are often mono-disciplinary static and present only a limited number of alternatives.
In response to this we conducted an empirical study to elucidate impacts of landuse change on food chain length in tropical forest streams of Southeast Asia. Despite species losses associated with forest loss at our study areas results from amino acid isotope analyses showed that food chain length was not linked to land use ecosystem size or resource availability. The land-use change component consists of a series of nonordinal multinomial logit models of site-specific land-use changes.
These models incorporate spatial measures for example mix of adjacent land uses and proximity to similar activities as well as local policy and accessibility measures.
