Analyzing land use change using grid-digitized method

This study aims to analyze land-use change by a digitized-grid method, a simple technique that can be used for such analysis. We describe a procedure for restructuring land-use data comprising polygonal "shape files" containing successive (x, y) boundary points of plots for geographic land...
