The present chapter discusses an analysis of land cover change based on the enhanced transition matrix, and provides a detailed interpretation of the results of the case study chosen: a protected area in the region of Madrid (central Spain) between 1990 and 2000. The method adopted introduces concepts and indicators to study the statistical information contained in the transition matrix in greater depth than with the traditional approach. The chapter describes all the formal, theoretical and practical aspects of the method, along with the preparation of the data and the analysis of the results. The method proved to be useful for synthesizing the land changes observed and identifying systematic transitions.
