2019 Land Cover Map of Southeast Asia at 30 m Spatial Resolution with Changes Since 2010

摘要

Last few decades there are lots of changes in Southeast Asia land cover due to development, industrialization, increasing population, socio-economic activities, and food demands. This research work analysis the maximum likelihood supervised classification approach for Southeast Asia land cover mapping and changes at 30m resolution from 2010 to 2019 using Landsat 8 OLI (Operational Land Imager) satellite data. The resulted maps cover eight land cover classes as barren land, cultivated, developed (built-up area), forest, grassland, shrubland, water, and wetland in Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, and North Malaysia Southeast Asia countries with very high accurate informative information. The resulted maps and information in this paper are very useful to researchers, regional to a national and international level decision and policy makers for sustainable development, fortification of natural resources at the same time protection of fragile eco-environment in Southeast Asia so that they will utilize in future.
