Newly-developed remote sensing techniques (i.e., object-based classification on the basis of GRAPH theory, texture analyses, and simple ways to remove terrain effects on satellite images) will be investigated for usefulness in field studies in Southeast Asia. In occasional workshops, project members will compile longitudinal land use data to clarify the structures of causes that have triggered land use change in the region. We also plan to organize fieldwork for a better exchange of ideas and problems.<\/p>\n
Despite the importance of analyzing spatial patterns of resource uses in regional studies, they have not been fully studied due to the lack of methodology suitable for fieldwork. The present study aims at establishing fieldwork-friendly methodologies of land use\/land cover analyses. Object-based classification (on the basis of GRAPH theory), texture analyses, and simple ways to remove terrain effects on satellite images will be investigated for usefulness in the field. By inviting researchers who have long experience of field work in Southeast Asian countries, land use patterns and their longitudinal changing patterns will be compiled. The final goal will be to clarify structures of causes that have triggered land use change in Southeast Asian countries.<\/p>\n
