Abstract

The aim of this study is to assess urban land use change in Dan Phuong district, Hanoi city. Remote sensing data taken in 2008, 2016, and 2022 are used to analyze the land use situation. The GIS tool helps to overlay data layers to determine the trend of fluctuations and locate in space the change of land use types in the study area. Research results showed a significant change in the structure of land use in Dan Phuong district. Residential land and construction land tend to increase significantly while agricultural land tends to decrease dramatically. Research results are a reliable reference source for managers, helping to manage urban land resources effectively and sustainably.
