Abstract
The Red River Delta is a vital economic, political, cultural, and social region in Vietnam, with the highest population density. In recent years, growing urbanization has substantially altered the region’s land use/land cover paradigm, with agricultural land being the most severely affected. This work employed the maximum likelihood classifier algorithm in supervised classification for multimedia satellite data from Landsat 5-TM (1992 and 2010) and Landsat 9-OLI/TIRS (2022) in ArcGIS 10.8 software to detect changes in land use/land cover in Vinh Phuc province, located in the Red River Delta of Vietnam. In addition, for each satellite scene, we also applied spectral indices (NDVI-Normalized Differential Vegetation Index and NDBI-Normalized Differential Built-up Index) to classify and evaluate the change in land use/land cover. The results reveal significant land use/land cover changes in the study area between 1992 and 2022. Occupying the largest proportion of the total area is the agriculture class; however, this class has decreased from 673.45 km2 in 1992 to 633.13 km2 in 2022. In contrast, the settlement class area has increased continuously over the past 30 years, from 140.31 km2 in 1992 to 184.69 km2 in 2010 and 299.42 km2 in 2022. The results show that land used as an agricultural area is converted into a construction area due to the increase in infrastructure and industrial areas in the study area. Therefore, proper observation of land use/land cover changes will help relevant agencies, governments and policymakers in develo** land management.
