With Markov chain analysis, future land use changes can be modeled on the basis of the preceding state; that is, a matrix of observed transition probabilities between maps in 2001 and 2008 can be used to project future changes from current patterns. Through spatial overlay analysis, the transiti...
Use the Markov chain to calculate the transition probability matrix of Figure 3. The five broad groups of proximal drivers and underlying causes of LULC change. GEOCARTO INTERNATIONAL 11 each land use type, and determine the changing trend of each state at each moment in the future through the...
