Prediction of Land Use/Land Cover Change using QGIS and ArcGIS (2010-2020-2030)

Today I’ll show you how to prepare Land use and land cover prediction map using MOLUSCE Plugin of QGIS (Modules for Land Use Change Evaluation).

In this tutorial I will do prediction map for the year of 2030.
For doing this, along with LULC map, you need to create some variable maps like DEM, Distance from Road, Distance from River, Slope, distance from settlement etc. that can be influenced to change the future land use and land cover. Here I am using Distance from road and DEM as variables.
Remember that, All Maps need to be prepared and saved in same spatial resolution and geographical references.

I have prepared a manual for Land use change prediction. IF YOU Need then, write your email in the comment section of this video. I’ll send you then. If you like this video, then you can consider SUBSCRIBING this channel to get cool GIS.

Watch my video along with the instruction and then try to make your LULC prediction map. If you don’t know how to prepare LULC map, check my videos. Also, if you don’t have country shapefile, road shapefile etc. just check my videos how to download shapefiles for any country.

Thank you very much for the video! It's nice to see more GIS and RS content on YouTube.

Although, I'd like to point out something very important you missed.

The LULC maps you used were of the years 2010 and 2014; you used these to simulate the LULC map of year 2020 with just 1 simulation iteration.

If I remember correctly, since there is only a 4 year gap between 2010 and 2014, using both of these maps as references for the simulation would only yield the LULC map for the year 2018. If, using the maps of 2010 and 2014 again, you did 2 simulation iterations it would give you the LULC map for the year 2022 (this would yield to less reliable results though because of the time gap, but it's good to visualize nonetheless).

I understand that this may just be an example but details like this are crucial in helping people better understand.

Subscribed. It seems Keraniganj Upazila map I can recognize cause recently worked on Indexing using Erdas Imagine and ArcMap taking it as my Study Area (for academic practicing purpose). Students from URP like me find these videos very useful. Hope we will get more of these.

I thank you dearest brother for your clear presentations. Keep this good work up!

[nawajsarif]

This is what I was looking for and you made it clear. Thank you so much!

[GZogra]

Your work and your knowledge in remote sensing along with spatial analysis tools are genius! Thank you very much for your help and your willingness to teach all these things! I would also be grateful if you could send me the manual! Thank you!!!

[debabratasarkar]

Thank you for your kindness ❤️ to share the detail knowledge

Great channel and content bro. It is really exciting for me to see your youtube content on GIS and RS things. Your channel is very supportive and educative for beginners to advanced level students. I look forward to seeing more from you and wish you all the best for your journey. Keep creating great content. I just subscribed to your channel.

when you created a simulated map for 2020 there was no parameter to specify the date into the analysis only the file name and when you targeted a simulation for 2030 you also changed only the filename. How is that possible to affect the analysis or the simulation. And also the 2 variables you included are the DEM and distance from roads. How will a constant as the DEM affect the dynamic change of Land Use or Landcover. Your video needs further explanations

[abubakarjibrilbabayo]

Thank a lots Sir. I'll be happy to get the tutorial. it will really help me in my research.
thank you whilst again.

[EcoresolveInc]

I would like to resonate with Tek (GIS and Remote Sensing) :) and I wish you the best as well! Great content.. keep up the good work and let's see if we all can do a collaboration sometime in the future. I am just starting up with my youtube channel in the Remote Sensing and Spatial Data Science space and I look forward to seeing more amazing RS/GIS related videos from your side :)

It is a good and interesting lesson, Thanks for everything

Revisando la bibliografía pude determinar que esta mal planteados los escenarios pues si bien es cierto ocupa información del año 2010 y 2014 para la predicción del 2020 al indicar (1) iteración la predicción resultante se esta calculando para el año 2018 es decir el algoritmo predice escenarios para la diferencia entre los periodos de tiempo ( 2018 -2014= 4 años) y al momento de iteraciones (2) se haría al año 2022. lo correcto hubiese sido conseguir la imagen satelital del año 2015 y hacer la iteración para el 2020 y su posterior validación y a su vez hacer 3 iteraciones para predecir al 2030. Es decir 2020 (1) iteración 2025 (2) iteración y 2030 (3) iteración.

[lhilacatun]

Hello sir! please kindly share to me the manual for Land use change prediction. Thank you, sir!

[gilbertojunior]

Great video! Congrats. I have a question. How control the time step to predict? In the video was used 2010 and 2014 to train the model. The next map shouldn't be the years 2018 and 2022 ?

[asadalisarkar]

What is distance from road, distance from river etc and how it will prepared?

[azeman]

Thank you for sharing the manual.
I'll be happy if you add something detail for variable preparation.
NB. MOLUSCE is not working in latest versions of QGIS.

[ramadhanitwaha]

Sir, How did you know that the predicted image will first be of 2020 and the final be of 2030, how did you select these time periods from LUC_0f 2010 and LULC_2014?

[mdnahinalam]

How do know that predicted map is for 2030?
