| description | The paper explores a framework combining remote sensing and GIS-cellular automata concepts aimed at
improving the modeling of unauthorized land use sprawl. Remote sensing data have been used in urban
modeling and analysis, the use of high resolution remote sensing data in assessing unauthorized
development is quite unexplored. This work has demonstrated systematic combination utilization of
geospatial analyses tools to acquire new level of information to enable urban modeling and sprawl
analysis in assisting urban sustainable management. In this study, Kuantan city, Malaysia was selected in
simulation of the unauthorized land use with cellular automata concept for a period of 15 years (2000-
2015), with main input time-series land use observation from 1995 to 2005. The 2000 and 2005 land use
input was also used as calibrated and test assessment of the simulation. The results show excellent
agreement between in-situ changes of the un-authorized land use classes and the corresponding simulated
classes within the same periods. In conclusion, cellular automata model can lead to new levels of
understanding of how urban areas grow and change as in view of digital earth aspiration. |
