Análisis multitemporal del crecimiento urbano, superficie agrícola en el cantón Durán, provincia del Guayas

Abstract

The following research is based on the classification of land use through the use of digital tools for multitemporal analysis from 2000 to 2023, the digital tools are Landsat, Modis, AVHR sensors, among other sensors that will provide satellite information of the area and in the established times. The QGis software will be used for the classification using the Land Cover classes, CCI - ESA. The study evaluates the differences in estimation of changes in employment and land cover in Landsat. The digital classification by multispectral analysis is applied to Landsat 5 TM to Landsat 8 OLI images, obtaining land use and land cover maps. As a method of comparison, the differences with the land cover maps and those obtained with Landsat images are evaluated. The results in land use and land cover changes differ among the analyzed sources, so it is important to use sources with good spatial resolution to differentiate such changes. With the satellite information, the geographic images will be processed in order to have a better view of clouds using the cloud masking of the satellite image.
