摘要:The main aim of the present study is to explain the trends of land cover change. For this purpose, the changes were estimated and then predicted using Markov chain and cellular automata. It was indicated by comparing the images of the three periods during a 26-year period that the changes in coverage were associated with the loss of agricultural lands, the loss of natural production and the destruction of the landscape. In addition, the output of the Markov cellular model suggests that with the continuation of the current trend, we will face to the loss of paddy field coverage, while the area of the urban cover will increase significantly in 2030.
