ABOUT LAPIA
The number of satellite-based remotely sensed datasets available for land cover (LC) change identification has increased markedly since the launch of the first Landsat satellite. Many change detection techniques have been developed and applied during this period to assess LC changes. Human impact on landscape causes categorical changes in its use: change of one type of landscape to another, e.g., arable land to the built-up area. As such changes may influence the condition of the landscape, it is important to determine where and to what extent they take place. Legal changes in landscape involve planning and recording in the Land Register and agricultural, forestry, or water economic plans. However, the landscape is ever more frequently attacked by illegal human interventions, and their tracking may be difficult because of remoteness, difficult access, etc. Nowadays, various methods of LC change identification are applied. The most progressive ones combine remotely sensed data (optical and radar) with data from environmental databases, thematic maps and field surveys. This approach is also suitable for the identification of LC changes caused by illegal human activities in the landscape:
- Illegal dumps;
- Illegally ploughed protected meadows;
- Illegal clear-cuts of non-forest tree vegetation in the agricultural landscape.
