Abstract

Monitoring the distribution of land-cover change plays a very important role in making decisions about land-use activities of the environmental management. Ben Tre is a new developing city in the Mekong Delta, an average topographical elevation of which is less than five meters across the province. This is one of the areas that is quite sensitive to fluctuations in mean sea level rise. In the current context, the effects of global climate change on the natural environment have become more and more obvious, especially for coastal plain areas with relatively low terrain elevation. Therefore, it is necessary to generate and update constantly land-cover or land-use maps for coastal plain areas such as Ben Tre province. Based on the land-cover or land-use maps produced over many stages, environmental managers could monitor the changing directions of the distribution of land-cover and then make sound and rational decisions about land-use activities. The main purpose of this topic is to study and build a decision tree model which can extract the real land-cover information from Landsat images in the most effective way to generate a land-cover or land-use map. Thereby, it is possible to reduce the costs of field trips during the mapping process. Research results show that the accuracy of modelling interpretation on different objects ranges from 73% to 97%. The average accuracy of the prediction results across the region reached 86.7%.
