'n Evaluering van Landsat MSS-data vir die bepaling van stedelike uitbreiding in die Verwoerdburg-Midrand omgewing, 1975-1988

M.Sc. (Geography) === The aim of this research is to determine if, by means of Landsat MSS digital data, urban land use classes can be identified and separated, and if changes in land use (urban sprawl) can be detected, over a period of time. Regional authorities function at inter-municipal scale. I...
