摘要：Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas witnessed population increase from less than 84,000 in 1970 to almost 250,000 in 2000, producing almost a 200% growth within the city. This expansion has changed the land cover of the urban area over the past three decades. This research quantifies land use and land cover change (LUCC) in Ciudad Victoria. The research is part of a larger study which focuses on human migration patterns and their impacts on land use within the state of Tamaulipas. This section of the research project utilizes both physical and cultural data sets. Satellite imagery from the mid-1970's, 1980's, 1990's and 2000 are processed in order to quantify LUCC in the area. The remotely sensed data set used includes North American Landscape Characterization Landsat Pathfinder Project (NALC project), data from Landsat MSS, Landsat TM, and more recent data from Landsat ETM+. In an effort to better understand the dynamics of land cover change through time, this research first explored a number of standard change detection techniques. In addition, to the image processing techniques which identify change, land cover characteristics were analyzed. This research was completed to identify the techniques that best isolate the changes in this urban environment. Remotely sensed data and results of change analysis are augmented by fieldwork and demographic data to help explain LUCC
