Abstract:Abstract:Understanding urban growth spatiotemporally is important for landscape and urban development planning. In this study, we examined the spatiotemporal pattern of urban growth of the Colombo Metropolitan Area (CMA)-Sri Lanka's only metropolitan area-from 1992 to 2014 using remote sensing data and GIS techniques. First, we classified three land-use/cover maps of the CMA (i.e., for 1992, 2001, and 2014) using Landsat data. Second, we examined the temporal pattern of urban land changes (ULCs; i.e., land cha… Show more
“…Compared with other papers, the FoM value is above 30%, but this was from considering only two classes in LULC; for our research, there were 5 LULC categories with a FoM of 14.73%. This value demonstrated that the simulation result was well recognized [16].…”

“…All the images were processed with a spatial resolution of 30 m. In the ArcGIS 10.2 software, the pixel-based supervised classification technique employing the maximum likelihood classification algorithm was used to perform classifications [16]. In order to analyze the characteristics of urbanization in Tianjin city at the series of time from 1995 to 2015, the study area was aggregated into five types of LULC: Built-up, Cropland, Grass, Forest, and Water.…”
Abstract: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 problems have appeared. Better understanding of land use and land cover (LULC) change will facilitate urban planning and constrain these potential problems. As one of the four municipalities in China, Tianjin has experienced rapid urbanization and such trend is expected to continue. Relying on remote sensing (RS) and geographical information system (GIS) tools, this study investigates LULC change in Tianjin city. First, we used RS to generate classification maps for 1995, 2005, and 2015. Then, simulation models were applied to evaluate the LULC changes. Analysis of the 1995, 2005, and 2015 LULC maps shows that more than 10% of the cropland areas were transformed into built-up areas. Finally, by employing the Markov model and cellular automata (CA) model, the LULC in 2025 and 2035 were simulated and forecasted. Our analysis contributes to the understanding of the development process in the Tianjin area, which will facilitate future planning, as well as constraining the potential negative consequences brought by future LULC changes.

“…Water includes rivers and lakes. Landsat images were exploited to extract classified land use/cover maps by using maximum likelihood supervised classification method in ArcGIS 10.2 software [44]. Maximum likelihood supervised classification is based on using training samples to assign a pixel to the most appropriate land use/cover class with highest probability of pixels and assign the pixels to the land use/cover categories [45].…”
Abstract: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. This study examines the changes in land use/cover in the Tokyo metropolitan area (TMA) from 2007 to 2017 as a first step in using supervised classification. Second, based on the map results, we predicted the expected patterns of change in 2027 and 2037 by employing a hybrid model composed of cellular automata and the Markov model. The next step was to decide the model inputs consisting of the modeling variables affecting the distribution of land use/cover in the study area, for instance distance to central business district (CBD) and distance to railways, in addition to the classified maps of 2007 and 2017. Finally, we considered three scenarios for simulating land use/cover changes: spontaneous, sub-region development, and green space improvement. Simulation results show varied patterns of change according to the different scenarios. The sub-region development scenario is the most promising because it balances between urban areas, resources, and green spaces. This study provides significant insight for planners about change trends in the TMA and future challenges that might be encountered to maintain a sustainable region.
“…Spatial-temporal modeling is the process of extracting hidden and useful knowledge from large-scale spatial and temporal datasets and has been widely applied in geo-information related fields [2][3][4]. Geographically weighted regression (GWR), which originated from local weighted regression approaches, has been widely used to address spatial non-stationarity issues [5][6][7][8][9][10].…”
Abstract:To capture both global stationarity and spatiotemporal non-stationarity, a novel mixed geographically and temporally weighted regression (MGTWR) model accounting for global and local effects in both space and time is presented. Since the constant and spatial-temporal varying coefficients could not be estimated in one step, a two-stage least squares estimation is introduced to calibrate the model. Both simulations and real-world datasets are used to test and verify the performance of the proposed MGTWR model. Additionally, an Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) is adopted as a key model fitting diagnostic. The experiments demonstrate that the MGTWR model yields more accurate results than do traditional spatially weighted regression models. For instance, the MGTWR model decreased AIC value by 2.7066, 36.368 and 112.812 with respect to those of the mixed geographically weighted regression (MGWR) model and by 45.5628, −38.774 and 35.656 with respect to those of the geographical and temporal weighted regression (GTWR) model for the three simulation datasets. Moreover, compared to the MGWR and GTWR models, the MGTWR model obtained the lowest AIC value and mean square error (MSE) and the highest coefficient of determination (R 2 ) and adjusted coefficient of determination (R 2 adj ). In addition, our experiments proved the existence of both global stationarity and spatiotemporal non-stationarity, as well as the practical ability of the proposed method.
