1. 1. WATER CONTAMINATION RISK DURING URBAN FLOODS : Using GIS to map and analyze risk at a local scale

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för Industriell utveckling, IT och Samhällsbyggnad

   Author : Russell Thorsteinsson; [2014]
   Keywords : GIS; urban flood mapping; contamination pollution risk; LiDAR;

   Abstract : Water contamination during urban flood events can have a negative impact on human health and the environment. Prior flood studies lack investigation into how GIS can map and analyze this at a large scale (cadastral) level. READ MORE

   University essay from KTH/Samhällsplanering och miljö

   Author : ARFAN SOHAIL; [2012]
   Keywords : REMOTE SENSING; GIS; LANDCOVER LANDUSE CHANGE; ACCURACY ASSESSMENT; CHANGE DETECTION; COASTLINE CHANGE; HISTOGRAM; IMAGE THRESHOLD; BAND RATIO; MEKONG RIVER DELTA; VIETNAM; MAPPING; IMAGE DIFFERENCING; CLASSIFICATION; MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD; POST CLASSIFICATION COMPARISON; SEA LEVEL RISE; OVERALL ACCURACY; LANDSAT TM; ETM ; PRE-PROCESSING; RADIOMETRIC NORMALIZATION; NDVI; NDSI; NDWI; IMAGE MASK;

   Abstract : There has been rapid change in the landcover/landuse in the Mekong delta, Viet Nam. The landcover/landuse has changed very fast due to intense population pressure, agriculture/aquaculture farming and timber collection in the coastal areas of the delta. READ MORE

4. 3. Identifying Land Use Changes and It's Socio-Economic Impacts : A Case Study of Chacoria Sundarban in Bangladesh

   Keywords : Landuse Change; Remotely Sensed Data; Aerial Photographs; Satellite Imageries; Landsat MSS; Landsat TM; Landsat ETM; Supervised Classification; Maximum Likelihood MAXLIKE ;

   Abstract : Human intervention and natural phenomenon cause change in land use day by day. Availability of accurate land use information is essential for many applications like natural resource management, planning and monitoring programs. READ MORE

5. 4. Mapping land-use in north-western Nigeria (Case study of Dutse)

   University essay from Institutionen för teknik och byggd miljö

   Author : Isah Anavberokhai; [2007]
   Keywords : change detection; satellite images; land-use; land cover; Dutse; Jigawa; supervised classification; livestock; sustainable.;

   Abstract : This project analyzes satellite images from 1976, 1985 and 2000 of Dutse, Jigawa state, in north-western Nigeria. The analyzed satellite images were used to determine land-use and vegetation changes that have occurred in the land-use from 1976 to 2000 will help recommend possible planning measures in order to protect the vegetation from further deterioration.

6. 5. ENVISAT ASAR for Land Cover Mappingand Change Detection

   University essay from KTH/Geodesi och satellitpositionering

   Author : Kazi Iashtiak Ahmed; [2006]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The principal objective of this research is to investigate the capability of multi-temporal,multi-incidence angle, dual polarization ENVISAT ASAR imagery for extractinglanduse/land cover information in the rural-urban fringe of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA)using different image processing techniques and classification algorithms. An attempt todetermine the temporal change of landuse is also made. READ MORE
