This paper applies different methods of map comparison to quantify the characteristics of
three different land change models. The land change models used for simulation are termed …

This paper presents two applications of a spatially explicit model of land use change at two
spatial scales: a nation-wide application for the Philippines at relatively coarse resolution …

Land cover and land use changes can have a wide variety of ecological effects, including
significant impacts on soils and water quality. In rural areas, even subtle changes in farming …

This paper compares one global parametric land use change model, the artificial neural
network–based Land Transformation Model, with two local non-parametric models: a …

Land-use change models are important tools for integrated environmental management.
Through scenario analysis they can help to identify near-future critical locations in the face of …

A dynamic model to simulate Conversion of Land Use and its Effects (CLUE) is presented.
For an imaginary region, CLUE simulates land use conversion and change in space and …

Summary 1 The role of land cover change as a significant component of global change has
become increasingly recognized in recent decades. Large databases measuring land cover …

Abstract Multiple Criteria Evaluation (MCE) is a multi-attributes decision making tool often
used in land suitability analysis and land use simulation using Cellular Automata (CA) …

Single research methodologies do not suffice for a complete analysis of land-use change.
Instead, a sequence of methodologies is needed that link up and integrate disciplinary …

Understanding and analysis of drivers of land-use and-cover change (LUCC) is a requisite
to reduce and manage impacts and consequences of LUCC. The aim of the present study is …
