Simulating land use change by integrating ANN-CA model and landscape pattern indices

Artificial neural network–cellular automata model has been applied successfully in land use change simulation. However, it has rarely been integrated with landscape pattern indices (LPIs), the embodiment of the spatial heterogeneity of land use. This paper proposed to integrate LPIs as the parameter...
