Research Directions, Challenges and Achievements of Modern Geography

Part of the book series: Advances in Geographical and Environmental Sciences ((AGES))

  • 236 Accesses

Abstract

Although researchers from various scientific fields (e.g., biologists, ecologists, historians) have contributed to the development of Land Use and Land Cover Changes (LULCC) research, geographers have played a very important role, given their experience in complex land use studies, field research, statistical analyses, GIS and remote sensing, explaining the factors and processes generating change, as well as in educating the young generation in the spirit of environmental protection in relation to these changes, both from the natural and the socio-economic sciences’ perspective. The chapter aims to highlight the importance of geographical research in the field of land use and land cover changes in the past 25 years, alongside the future development directions in accordance with the Global Research Programs, the new technical and methodological research opportunities, and the increasing access to high-resolution satellite products.
