Abstract

In this paper, a new combination of Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Markov Chain (MC), and Multi
Objective Land Allocation (MOLA) was proposed and evaluated to simulate multiple land use changes
using GIS-based techniques and multi temporal remote sensing data. The main objective of this paper is to
predict land use changes for Tehran, the biggest and capital city of Iran. In this regard, by integration of
ANN, MC, and MOLA, we found the pixels that have the highest tendency to change their states from one
land use category to others. An ANN model was applied to create Transition Potential Maps (TPMs), and
an MC model was used to calculate the quantity of the changes. Finally, a MOLA model was employed for
spatial allocation of new changes. In order to analyze the effects of proximity, three types of neighborhood
filters were combined with MOLA. The proposed method achieved 92.62%, 95.49%, and 92.74% of kappa
index of agreement (KIA), overall accuracy (OA), and kappa of location (Klocation), respectively. This
method was applied for Tehran to predict the situation in year 2020. The trend of the changes shows that
the urban growth is moving toward southwest of the city, where the areas with poor infrastructure are
situated.
