Book Description
People are constantly changing the land surface through construction, agriculture, energy production, and other activities. Changes both in how land is used by people (land use) and in the vegetation, rock, buildings, and other physical material that cover the Earth's surface (land cover) can be described and future land change can be projected using land-change models (LCMs). LCMs are a key means for understanding how humans are reshaping the Earth's surface in the past and present, for forecasting future landscape conditions, and for developing policies to manage our use of resources and the environment at scales ranging from an individual parcel of land in a city to vast expanses of forests around the world. Advancing Land Change Modeling: Opportunities and Research Requirements describes various LCM approaches, suggests guidance for their appropriate application, and makes recommendations to improve the integration of observation strategies into the models. This report provides a summary and evaluation of several modeling approaches, and their theoretical and empirical underpinnings, relative to complex land-change dynamics and processes, and identifies several opportunities for further advancing the science, data, and cyberinfrastructure involved in the LCM enterprise. Because of the numerous models available, the report focuses on describing the categories of approaches used along with selected examples, rather than providing a review of specific models. Additionally, because all modeling approaches have relative strengths and weaknesses, the report compares these relative to different purposes. Advancing Land Change Modeling's recommendations for assessment of future data and research needs will enable model outputs to better assist the science, policy, and decisionsupport communities.

Book Description
This workbook is designed to guide the user through the formulation of the components of a future land use plan. It provides hands-on experience with the application of GIS technology for land analysis at various scales; guides the user through the process of working with factual land use, population and socio-economic data; as well as assessing land use policies to formulate alternative land use plans and designs. The workbook also includes a special CD containing GIS data files. New to this edition are many additional illustrative images, GIS exercise instructions written for ArcGIS with useful screenshots to facilitate the completion of exercises, and revised and new data sets on CD (including parcels, roads, water and sewer service boundaries, and streams). This new edition also includes updated and new exercises for identifying issues and constructing scenarios; communitywide land use design; creating a small area plan; land supply and demand acreages via generalized land use categories, and the plan quality evaluation protocol. The exercises in this workbook are designed to complement Urban Land Use Planning, fifth edition, but also may be used on their own in city planning, geography, and urban studies courses.
