The thesis is an original and novel contribution to land use/land
cover change analysis using methods of geosimulation and
agent-based modeling. The author implements several traditional
methodologies of land use change by means of remote sensing and GIS
techniques. An Agent-Based Model was developed in order to simulate
land use change in the Tehran metropolitan area, comparing the
outcomes of each particular methodology. All methods are compared,
and advantages and disadvantages discussed.
