- MARKOV PROCESSES IN MODELING LAND USE AND LAND COVER CHANGES IN SINTRA-CASCAIS, PORTUGAL PEDRO CABRAL ALEXANDER ZAMYATIN Ingeniería LUCC Markov chains Remote sensing Environmental monitoring In this article the process of land use and land cover change (LUCC) is investigated using remote sensing and Markov chains for the municipalities of Sintra and Cascais (Portugal) between years1989 and 2000. The role of the Natural Park of Sintra-Cascais (PNSC) in LUCC dynamics is evaluated. Results show that, inside PNSC, present LUCC depends on the immediate past land use and land cover following a Markoviabehavior. Outside PNSC, LUCC change is random and does not follow a Markovian process. Estimates of LUCC for year 2006 are presented for the area inside the PNSC. These results reinforce the role of the PNSC as an indispensable tool for preserving LUCC stability and to guarantee its functions. 2009 artículo científico 0012-7353 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=49612069019 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=496 Dyna application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Dyna (Colombia) Num.158 Vol.76
