ewwaois Lana Use Change Mods inst Land Use Change Models in Idrisi INTRODUCTION 0006606666 Spatially explicit models of land use change focus on (1) the rate of change between two or more classes, (2) the location of change to one or more classes, or (3) the rate and location of change between two or more classes. 000000666 Models are usually calibrated using past time periods and/or hypothesizes of the driving factors of change 0000006606 Output may be the likelihood of each cell converting to a given class (at an unspecified time) or predicted land use at one or more (specified) dates MODELING APPROACHES 1. Markov Chain Models Definition: Land use at time +1 is based solely on land use at a previous t Commands in Idrisi © Step 1: Markov (output = suitability transition images and change matrix), © Step 2: CA-Markov (output = predicted land use at specified date) Comments: Itis very simple, only needing land use at two time periods. Limitations:@ does not consider drivers of change, can not be used over long time periods because of stationary transition values, does not sufficiently differentiate between suitable locations.

Cellular Automata (CA) Definition: Land use at time +1 is based on a set of rules that take into account some combination of starting land use, neighboring land use, and other information. Commands in Idrisi @@ Step 1: Cellatom and/or CA-Markov (output = predicted land use at specific date) Comments: Location and rate of change are part of same process (notable exception is work by White and Engelen).@ Able to represent (predict) complex patterns associated with urban development. Capable of representing emergent properties, Limitations: difficult to calibrate; does not necessarily explicitly incorporate drivers of change. In Idrisi may take a LONG time to run.

Multi-Criteria Evaluation Model (MCE) Definition: Also cartographic or overlay modeling.@ When suitability factors are added combined to identify sites that have high suitability values for each land use type.@ Land use at time t is located on those cells that are most suitable. Command in Idrisi: © Step 1: Decision Wizard (output = transition suitability images for each class and predicted land use image) OR © Step 1: MCE (output = transitior images for each © Step 2: Rank (output = suitability @s ranked in order) © Step 3: MOLA (output = predicted land use based on number of conversions) Comments: Incorporates hypothesized drivers of change. In Idrisi can handle multiple objectives quickly, Can combine factors based on different distributions (ie does not assume all factors have linear relationship to change). Can update input factors. Limitations: unclear process of identifying appropriate factors: unclear how to incorporate categorical factors: unclear how to weight factors References: Schneider, L.C. and R. G, Pontius Jr. 2001, Modeling land-use change in the Ipswich watershed, Massachusetts, USA. Agriculture, Ecosystems, and Environment 85: 83-94. 4, Logistic Regression Based Model Definition: Uses logistic regression to calculate relationship between land use change and suitability factors between time t and t+1.@ Uses that relationship to predict suitability at time t+2.@ Land use at time t#2 is located on those cells most suitable. Commands in Idrisi © Step 1: Logi (output = transition suitability image) © Step 2: CA-Markov@ (output = predicted land use at specified time) OROOO 00006 60600006 Fuzzy, Rank, Reclass (output = predicted land use at specified time) OR 00000 60000606 STehoice (output = predicted land use at specified time) Comments: Easy to incorporate categorical factors. Clear how to test importance of each factor through more extensive statistical diagnostics, Limitations: assumes logistic relationship between factors and change; deterministic compared to CA approaches.
