    Land Use
    Land Use-Cover Change Detection Using Knowledge based approaches: Remote Sensing and GIS

    Maximum Likelihood Classification
    Training samples wee first selected from various spectral class for images 1988 and 1995. After selecting the training samples, classification was urn on the data using maximum likelihood algorithm. Grouping of spectral classes were done on the basis of land cover types which are: forest, rubberforest, oil palm, rubber, mixed horticulture, recreational areas, grass land, urban, construction, cleared land and water body.

    Results and Discussion
    The performance of the knowledge-based classification and multi-source information classification was tested by comparing with conventional visual interpretation and maximum likelihood classification for change detection. A confusion matrix was used to assess the accuracy of each resulting land use by comparing or cross-tabulating the classified land use to the actual land use observed in the field and existing land use map 1988.

    The overall accuracy before and after grouping ranges from 31 per cent to 78 per cent. The knowledge-based classification 1988 compared by land

    Use 1988 yielded the lowest accuracy. Knowledge-based classification 1995 versus land use-cover 1995 shows the highest accuracy 78 per cent followed by maximum likelihood classification 76 per cent after grouping. Other overall accuracy after grouping does not exceed 70 per cent.

    Conclusions
    The knowledge- based classifications and maximum likelihood classifications of images 1988 and 1995 gave comparble means overall accuracy of 44 per cent. However, knowledge-based classification has advantage of quick classification and less field work than maximum likelihood classification.

    By using remote sensing and GIS to analyses the nature, growth rate and location of land use changes, the central and local governments can identify cities and towns. They can formulate plans and policies to deal with such uncontrolled growth. The integration of remote sensing and GIS is a powerful tool and decision support system for urban growth management.
