Application of Remote sensing and Geographic Information System in Extraction of Shiraz Landuse Maps

Authors

Abstract

Increasing technology and population in the two recent decades have led to destructing nature and changing its land cover. Remote sensing is one of those new technologies which provide accessibility for managing earth resources. the dynamic information of remote sensing can play an effective role for monitoring and analysis of land use change using digital change detection techniques. Method used for the rate of development of remote sensing, is on the basis geometric correction, spatial and spectral enhancement of available satellite images with regard to the maximum likelihood supervised classification and post classification method. At first we produced land use maps by using the satellite images of landsat. The results of this study are, in addition to the impacts of environmental sensitivity visualization development trend based on the visual display, calculate of the land use changes together in developed area and production of digital map changes, to support land management.
