Hello ResearchGate community,

I am currently exploring methods for predicting land use and land cover changes and I'm seeking recommendations for models, code libraries, and GUI software that can assist in this process. Specifically, I am interested in options available in Python and R, as well as any user-friendly GUI software (excluding CA-Markov, MOLUSCE, CLUE-S, LCM, and ABM).

Could anyone suggest:

Models and algorithms suitable for predicting land use and land cover changes, along with any relevant literature or documentation for understanding their implementation?

Code libraries or packages in Python and R that facilitate land use/land cover prediction tasks, and any tutorials or guides for using them effectively?

User-friendly GUI software alternatives to CA-Markov, MOLUSCE, CLUE-S, LCM, and ABM, which offer intuitive interfaces for conducting land use/land cover change prediction analyses?

Your insights and recommendations would be highly valuable to me as I navigate this field.

Thank you for your contributions!
