3.2.3 The change analysis
The land use change procedure used involved a comparison of land use derived from the three dates of remotely sensed data. In this case the comparison of the change represents the change of the year 1990 and 2001, 2001-2007 and 1990-2007 including the statistical calculation of the change classes. A comparative detection of the land use changes in the UNW was conducted. Once the type and extent of land use changes has been determined, implication efforts can be initialed that describe and forecast future change.
