Assessing Land Cover Transformation for Urban Environmental Sustainability through Satellite Sensing

Abstract: Rapid urbanization in Pakistan is triggering regulated and unregulated land cover changes in planned and semiplanned urban areas. The key objective of this study is to assess the spatial–temporal fluctuations in the land use/land cover (LULC) transformations in planned (Islamabad) and semiplanned (Rawalpindi) urban areas over the last forty years (1976–2016). The study focuses on the orientation of LULC modifications and analyzes concomitant impacts on urban environmental sustainability. Therefore, remotely se… Show more

“…Furthermore, the moisture levels of samples of fc, V, and A were determined on a dry-matter basis to be 15.12 wt%, 69.51 wt%, and 15.37 wt%, respectively. According to the final study, the cattle manure comprised C-41.13 weight%, H-5.89 weight%, N-2.69 weight%, S-0.37 weight% and 0-49.92 weight% [25]. In this study, a maximum of 281 data samples containing comprehensive data were acquired.…”

“…Consequently, overfitting occurs frequently, particularly for challenging nonlinear processes. We therefore incorporated E-SVM in our suggested model to avoid this issue [25]. Ensemble-SVM provides users with quick access to tools for experimenting with SVM ensembles.…”

“…Geographically, it is located at a latitude of 33.662883 °N and a longitude of 73.086373 °E (Figure 1). Islamabad is the capital city while Rawalpindi is situated in the Punjab Province of Pakistan (Mannan et al, 2019;Atif Bokhari et al, 2022). The city of Islamabad is divided into numerous sectors that cover a total area of two square kilometers and each sector is further subdivided into four sub-sectors.…”

“…It is a natural condition in which an area receives less amount of rainfall than the average rainfall over a long period of time. There are several factors that trigger the drought conditions i.e., high-speed winds, low rate of humidity along with high temperature (Atif Bokhari et al, 2022). With almost 300 incidents reported in the last 100 years, Africa has experienced severe droughts more frequently compared to any other continent, making up 44 percent of the world's total land (Gandhi et al, 2017;Keita et al, 2021).…”
