The purpose of this study is to identify vegetation covers shaded by buildings and other structures in detached housing areas in the land cover classification using airborne MSS data. This paper presents a method to identify evergreen trees in the shade using remotely sensed data of surface temperature observed in summer and winter, based on the characteristics that the nighttime surface temperature...
Taking Landsat5/TM images of 1988, 1997 and 2005, this paper used RS and GIS to analyze the changes of ecological environment effects of land use/cover change (LUCC) during the recent 17 years of the study area. The results indicate that: swamp land shows obvious decreasing trend and decreases 1674km2; dry land and paddy land shows strong increasing trend and increase 377km2 and 1338km2 separately...

There is only poor scientific and operational knowledge of this process. Urban growth & land consumption patterns are poorly understood (i.e. coastal cities are growing faster; they are disproportionately urban and with higher densities). Thus, the available information...
