rns. The The model developed here has the potential for use in not only trying to understand the mechanism of land use and land 
ssava in cover changes in the areas of application, but also provides a way to explore the human-land interactions. As it gives 
nces are due importance to the location specific characteristics in addition to the socio-economic conditions, we hope the model 
map of results will be quite reliable to make decent projections on the change phenomenon. The main area of application of this 
in 1990. model can be to derive spatially explicit land use and land cover data for use in the environmental models.
