Abstract

This study applies two empirical approaches such as logistic regression, and artificial network (ANN) to combine Conversion of Land Use and its Effects (CLUE-s) model to predict urban sprawl in the Paochiao watershed in Taipei County, Taiwan. The current investigation projected land-use dynamics for the next twenty years using demand prediction models such as the Markov chain and cellular automata model. Accordingly, the empirical models integrating with CLUE-s then simulated land-use patterns for future periods based on the predicted demands.

Results show that land-use patterns predicted by the model tended to fragment and intersperse future patterns. The predicted land-use patterns have significant impact on urban sprawl in the Paochiao watershed. The study is an effective means of enhancing land-use monitoring and managing urbanized watersheds.
