Abandoned Farmland Location in Areas A ected by Rapid Urbanization Using Textural Characterization of High Resolution Aerial Imagery

Several studies have demonstrated that farmland abandonment occurs not only in rural areas, but is also closely interlinked with urbanization processes. Therefore, the location of abandoned land and the registration of the spatial information referring to it play important roles in urban land manage...
