 GIS/EM4 - A GIS/Spatial Statistical Predictive Model of Land Use Change in a Developing Country Context Using a Tree ...
For this research, a computer predictive model was created in a GIS framework with the goal of explaining and predicting land use change in a developing country at a spatial level as a function of a set of economic and environmental input factors (Figure 1).
