Simulation and prediction of land use cover change (LUCC) in cities can effectively identify
trends in land conversion and support the decision-making process regarding future urban …

Land use and land cover changes (LULCC) are the result of the combined action of many
influencing factors such as nature, society, economy and politics. Taking Chongqing as an …

Changes in land use/cover are among the most prominent impacts that humans have on the
environment. Therefore, exploring land use/cover change is of great significance to urban …

Urban land use/land cover (LULC) monitoring and prediction are vital for understanding the
spatiotemporal change dynamics of future land uses. They provide the necessary data for …

In recent years, urban areas have been expanding rapidly in the world, especially in
developing countries. With this rapid urban growth, several environmental and social …

Simulating future land use/cover changes is of great importance for urban planners and
decision-makers, especially in metropolitan areas, to maintain a sustainable environment …

Until now, few studies have used the mainstreaming models to simulate the land use
changes in the cities of rapid urbanizing regions. Therefore, we aimed to develop a …

Spatially land use models are indispensable for sustainable land use planning. This study
demonstrates a combined Markov–Cellular Automata model to analyze temporal change …

With the acceleration of urbanization, the degree of human influence on land use is getting
increasingly deeper. To research the future land use, this paper collects 5 years of land use …

Land use changes are complex processes affected by both natural and human-induced
driving factors. This research is focused on simulating land use changes in southern …
