LanduseSim Methods: Land use class hierarchy for simulations of multiple land use growth

LanduseSim, as a land use change modelling software to predict the future of land use, has specific framework on spatial modelling process. Regarding to its process behind the simulation procedure, LanduseSim offers good flexibility so user able to adjust the process of land use change iteration by modify the order of land use class. As a consequences of its flexibility structure, understanding the hierarchy system of land use class for multiple land use growth becomes one of the most important knowledge. In this research, author would like to demonstrate a land use change simulation by changing the hierarchy of land use class and explains the different simulation output.
