Application of GIS technology to analyze agricultural land use trends

Abstract

Changing human needs determine the changing landscape and land use. In recent years, urban development, infrastructure development projects and the development of residential areas have been observed, these processes have a direct impact on agricultural lands – some of them are removed from active agricultural activities and adapted for other needs. The change in land use is reflected in the annual declaration of agricultural land and crops, and the number of applications and areas is decreasing. Using GIS, the aim will be to visualize data and analyse spatial trends, assess land change trends over the years.
