The dynamics of the Algiers periurbanization: geomatic tools for multi-temporal study

摘要: Periurbanization dynamics phenomenon causes significant damages to Mitidja plain, which is the agricultural land around Algiers (capital of Algeria). Hence, a cover monitoring performed on this paper delineate, follow, and draw changes. The proposed methodology based, one hand, multi-temporal supervised Landsat satellite images classification (1987 2017), in order map soil occupation. On other two-dimensional simulation (space time) developed using cellular automata, represents landscape mutation process from rural urban. This allows implementation qualitative rules space evolution. It mainly identifies changes as well their rates. delineation such complex periurban large city like can be expressed terms fairly “natural” spatial transition rules. results study are interesting show that more than 80% urbanization, during period 1987–2017, was done land.
