1984 2001
challenges • Time • Data quality • Classification vacillation • Lack of familiarity with study site
Future study • For future projects, we propose to focus on the impact of the Hastings bridge • Actual classes assessments • Undertake a supervised classification that would enable us do an accuracy assessment of our results • Undertake analysis of the underlying factors of change within county boundary
Conclusion • Different land uses have emerged since 1984 and the population and other social dynamics increases both in scales and magnitude leading to transformation and conversion into other forms • It remains uncertain what the actual causes of these changes are…..changes are not attributable at this point for such conclusive statements could be made • Future assessment of change factors will be useful for planning and projections
