Use of integration of GIS-based map algebra for land use change

摘要

In recent decades integration of GIS platform is the primary for land use change monitoring and forecast it. Among various methods of GIS integration in agricultural or forest studies have a very important role in region such the Republic of Mari El. Land use change can directly transform wide landscapes, impact on the biodiversity and ecoproductivity. Hence, observations and methods needed to quantitatively assessment land cover dynamics that influence the sustainability of forest management. The relevance of the problem is due to the importance of forest disturbances monitoring, tracking of changes and defense from emergency situations. The main objective of this research is to create the maps of land use change of the Republic of Mari El using remote sensing data and geospatial technologies. GISbased map algebra was applied for calculating land use change with the use of integration of remote sensing data. The resulting maps show how different types of land use and land cover parameters have changed. The entire modeling approach support the essential logic of probabilistic indicates of change.
