Abstract
Analysis of land use maps will provide important information upon which most management and intervention policies rely.Land use changes may have major impacts on the use of resources such as conditions for land and water use. However, land use map is often scarce for large area due to expensive statistics measurement work. In this study, the land use of Kon – Ha Thanh rivers catchment is mapped from 1990 to 2017 using remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS). It is found that the land use map generated in this study is in good agreement with the actual map provided by Binh Dinh Province Department of Planning and Investment (2017). Land use maps and the trend of conversion between soil types are analyzed and presented in detail during 1990-2017. The study outcomes can provide essential information for planning and sustainable development activities in the context of rapid industrialization and urbanization epoch.
