historical data, virtually manipulate these variable, and assess potential implications of current or future policies and programs on these variables. Land use change and urban growth is one such real life event that has been analyzed and modeled using a variety of different techniques. Understanding the change in land use and urban growth patterns enable forecasting and possible prediction of consequences of human behavior and natural phenomenon.
