Quantifying the land use changes by using remote sensing and GIS

Earth observations, monitoring, and information analysis can be conducted through remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) techniques. These tools provide valid means of studying land use changes and environmental transformations. In this study, land use changes are monitored and quant...
