“…Assessment of LULC and prediction of likely changes would aid in formulating the strategies and policies for sustainable development in future in terms of housing, transportation (Schnebele et al, 2015), food (Wenban-Smith et al, 2016) and water security (Duh et al, 2008;Usali and Ismail, 2010), health and solid waste management (Li et al, 2012;Mundhe et al, 2017;Glanville and Chang, 2015). Researchers started investigating complex behavior of changing systems with the help of Cellular Automation (CA) in various scientific fields from medicine, forest fire modeling, urban modeling, landscape dynamics and so on (Couclelis, 1985;Torrens, 2000;Ermentrout and Edelstein, 1993;Hernández et al, 2007;Batty and Xie, 1994;Sante et al, 2010). SLEUTH model has evolved from CA model considering both spatial and temporal aspects of urban growth for simulation and prediction.…”
