Title
Assessing the applicability of the V-I-S model to map urban land use in the developing world: Case study of Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Abstract
The extensive expansion of urban centres over agricultural land in Indonesia is poorly monitored due to the ill-equipped land monitoring system. The objective of this study was to assess the applicability of the vegetation–impervious surface–soil (V–I–S) model in classifying land use in the context of medium-sized and densely populated cities of developing countries. The V–I–S model describes the urban environment as a linear combination of vegetation, impervious surface and soil. As such, it is well suited to relate remotely sensed data, which are closely related to land cover, to biophysical aspects of urbanising environments.
