“…The values are lower than for the major cities of China and Canada but are equivalent or greater than the growing cities of developing countries including India, Nigeria, Iran, and Libya [24,64,65,79,80]. For this study, four types of urban sprawls were noticed in 1990: radial pattern and landfill at the city center; leapfrog pattern outside the city center; and elongated strips along HWY 605 and 617.…”

Abstract:While several studies examined land use and land cover changes in the central and western parts of Saudi Arabia, this study is the first to use remote sensing data to examine the decadal land cover changes in Saudi Arabia's eastern coastal city of Al-Khobar between 1990 and 2013. Specifically, it utilized ISODATA classification method to classify Landsat TM, ETM+, and OLI data collected (2013) indicates a high rate of urban sprawl and the city dispersing near the outskirts and towards the neighboring cities of Dhahran and Dammam. Future studies should examine the current challenges faced by the city's residents due to urban expansion and attempt to find ways to resolve them in the near future.

“…Shannon's entropy (H n ) can be used to measure the degree of spatial concentration or dispersion of a geographical variable (X i ), e.g., built-up area [60][61][62]. The value of entropy ranges from 0 to log(n) [60,63]. The value of 0 [63] or closer to 0 indicates that the distribution of the built-up areas is compact while values closer to log(n) indicate that the distribution of built-up areas is dispersed [60,63].…”

“…The high values of entropy indicate the occurrence of sprawl. The halfway mark of the log(n) value is generally considered as the threshold and if the value crosses the threshold the area is considered sprawling [63].…”

Land Use/Land Cover Change Detection and Urban Sprawl Analysis in the Mount Makiling Forest Reserve Watersheds and Buffer Zone, Philippines

Ecologically Valuable Areas play an important role in providing ecosystem services, however, human activities such as land conversion and urban sprawl pose pressures and threats to these areas. The study assessed the land use/land cover and urban sprawl in the Mount Makiling Forest Reserve (MMFR) Watersheds and Buffer Zone from 1992 to 2015 using remote sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS). Results showed that the land use/cover within the MMFR buffer zone has changed from 1992 to 2015 with built-up areas increasing by 117% despite Proclamation 1257, s. 1998 which regulates human activities in the zone. Based on the Shannon entropy analysis the land development in the MMFR buffer zone tends to be dispersed and sprawling. However, when the magnitude of change of urban sprawl in the buffer zone from 2002 to 2015 was calculated, a decrease in the entropy value was observed which implies a compacting pattern as the human settlement in the buffer zone increases over time. Proclamation 1257, s. 1998 needs to be strengthened to protect MMFR and its buffer zone from further encroachment and pressure. Moreover, remote sensing and GIS proved to be useful tools for assessing urban sprawl in ecologically valuable areas such as MMFR.

“…Several scientific papers focused on the importance of historical sites, most of them having a chronological significance in the context of urban development along centuries (Rodrigues et al 2011, Del Lama et al 2015, Erikstad et al 2017. Historical aerial images have a great contribution for monitoring topography changes due to anthropic factors (Scardozzi 2010, Doering et al 2012, for tracking land cover changes (Ruan, Ellis 2004, Jao et al 2014, for archaeological site studies (Stichelbaut 2006) and for monitoring urban sprawl (Dadras et al 2014, Nebiker et al 2014, Mihai et al 2016.…”

Quaestiones Geographicae 36(3), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 87-96. 10 figs.aBstraCt: Detailed mapping of urban historical sites superposed on natural landforms within built-up areas is a real challenge. Digital photogrammetric techniques meet the requirements for mapping archaeological sites within dense built-up areas. The objectives are to reveal the landform value in medieval site development and to analyse its impact on the landforms. The aim of the present study is to highlight the contribution of geomatics technologies for the evaluation and preservation of historical sites using UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) imagery and field photos for 3D modelling. Curtea de Argeş medieval site, established on Argeş River terraces and attested since the 13 th century, represents the town core for which the specific methodology was applied.
