Land cover and land use changes analysis using google earth engine in Kelantan

This study looks at how land cover and land use have changed in Kelantan from 2014 to 2023. It uses Google Earth Engine (GEE) to analyze satellite images from Landsat. This study aims to identify the changes and what effects they have, which can be due to things like cities growing, forests being cut down, climate change, and farming. This research utilizes Google Earth Engine (GEE), a cloud-based platform for planetary-scale environmental data analysis, to investigate the land cover and land use changes in Kelantan, Malaysia. By leveraging multi-temporal satellite imagery and advanced classification algorithms, this study aims to map and quantify land cover transitions and land use dynamics from 2014 to 2023. The methodology includes the collection and preprocessing of Landsat data, followed by supervised classification using machine learning techniques such as Random Forest and Support Vector Machine. Accuracy assessment is performed to validate the classification results using a confusion matrix to see how accurate it was. In the end, this study gives important information about land cover and use in Kelantan, which can help people make better decisions about taking care of the environment and managing land. It shows how useful GEE in identifying and monitoring environmental changes and adds to our knowledge of how land use affects the environment.
