Multitemporal analysis to detect changes in land use in three municipalities affected by hurricane Juana

Abstract

After the masterful presentation by Gladys Luna, my part will correspond to an analysis of the changes that have been taking place in land use in three municipalities that were affected by Hurricane Juana. This is basically an analysis in which we used geographic information systems technology, using a cross-classification method, that is to say, what we did was to take the different layers of information from year 1, year 2 and year 3. To this layer of information that was obtained from the ministries, both INAFOR and MARENA, we made three large groups: a layer of information where the forests were, a layer of information where the wetlands were and a layer of information where there is no longer forest, but which was converted into an agricultural system.
