Monitoring dynamic land-use change in rural–urban transition: a case study from Hathazari Upazila, Bangladesh
This study evaluates land-use/cover change (LULCC) and urban expansion in Hathazari Upazila, Chittagong, between 1977 and 2017 using satellite images. Spatial and temporal dynamics of LULCC was quantified using three Landsat images, a supervised classification algorithm, and the post-classification...
