Assessing demand of Land-Dynamics for Site-Suitability

This book presents the application of remote sensing and GIS for change pattern analysis for site suitability assessment of solid wastes. In an attempt unveil the strength of remote sensing data to cover large area as compared to conventional way to map land-use. Spatial techniques were used to find the suitable site keeping in mind various factors which can affect the suitability of the region. The present research tried to develop a quantitative approach integrating GIS with effective use of remote sensor data and significant ground truth for generating, assessing, and producing results for land change dynamics and suitability site. It can provide a rapid method for assessing the changes for past decades for different land use/cover types and also predict for the future.
