Satellite images taken on the earth's surface are analyzed to identify the spatial and
temporal changes that have occurred naturally or manmade. Real-time prediction of change …

Human population continues to aggregate in urban centers. This inevitably increases the
urban footprint with significant consequences for biodiversity, climate, and environmental …

Scenario-based land use/land cover change (LUCC) simulation can explore different
possibilities in the future for decision-making on city development. However, the current …

Land change, especially urban land expansion, is increasingly triggered by remote
demands for goods and services rather than by purely local drivers, exerting pressure on …

The way cities are evolving and expanding has been a challenging issue and several urban
growth models were proposed. Most of these models have common objectives but they differ …

Rapid urbanization has profoundly impacted social and environmental systems. China is the
world's largest developing country. Projecting future urban expansion in China is critical to …

Rapid urban expansion usually leads to the change of land use pattern and poses a severe
threat to land resources with high ecological value, it is necessary to model the impact of …

Increasing water scarcity in China is further exacerbated by the rapid socio-economic
development and uneven spatial distribution of water resources. Current studies on water …

In recent decades, the cellular automata model, among the urban development prediction
models, has been applied considerably. Studies show that the output of conventional …
