Can anyone list out freely available Land Use-Land Cover future prediction soft wares that performs well as IDRISI does? If possible, kindly attach the supporting research articles.
Dinamica EGO is not just a land use change model, but an environmental modeling platform, presenting a wide-open possibility for the design from the very simple to the very complex space-time
Are you working on a global scale? You could use IMAGE. If on a relatively smaller scale, IDRISI based methodology (MOLUSCE, Markov etc) should be OK but a little bit weary of the linear transformations they do
iClue land use change model in the free available QUICKScan Software Tool
The QUICKScan software tool is a spatial modelling environment to combine expert knowledge with spatial and statistical data. Results are visualized in interactive maps, summary charts and trade-off diagrams.
The land use projection model iClue is an integral part of QUICKScan.
