Historically, change detection reviews have examined and categorized algorithms based on
their techniques for the remote sensing community. Here, we synthesize urban land change …

Abstract Cellular Automata (CA) & Markov-Chain modeling are concepts that are utilized in
numerous branches of science. Powerful as they are independently, these two theoretical …

As a result of the socioeconomic transformation, the rapid urban expansion of cities and
towns in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states has predominately led to tremendous …

Urban growth and land-use change are a few of many puzzling factors affecting our future
cities. Creating a precise simulation for future land change is a challenging process that …

This study explored the past and present land-use/land-cover (LULC) changes and urban
expansion pattern for the cities of the Kathmandu valley and their surroundings using …

Long term, global records of urban extent can help evaluate environmental impacts of
anthropogenic activities. Remotely sensed observations can provide insights into historical …

Urbanization often occurs in an unplanned and uneven manner, resulting in profound
changes in patterns of land cover and land use. Understanding these changes is …

Abstract The assessment of Ecosystem Health (EH) is crucial for effective ecosystem
services (ES) management and global environmental change assessment. This study aims …

Spatial–temporal analysis of land-use/land-cover (LULC) change as well as the monitoring
and modeling of urban expansion are essential for the planning and management of urban …

The fundamental data required by urban planners and policy makers is accurate information
on current landuse practices in a city or town and how it changes over the past for carrying …
