Land use/cover changes (LUCC) are significant to a range of issues central to the study of global environmental
change. Over the last decades, a variety of models of LUCC have been developed to predict the location and patterns
of land use/cover dynamics. The simulation procedures of most computational LUCC models can be sub-divided
into three basic steps, 1) a non-spatial procedure which calculates the quantity of each transition, 2) a spatial
procedure which allocates changes to the more likely locations and eventually replicates the patterns of the
landscape and, 3) an evaluation procedure which compares a simulated land use/cover map with the true map of the
same date.
