<p>O mapeamento do uso e cobertura do solo por meio da utilização de dados de sensoriamento remoto e técnicas de processamento digital de imagens tem se difundindo globalmente por permitir uma análise espacial e dinâmica das tipologias de uso e cobertura. A mineração é uma das atividades transformadoras do meio que mais causa impactos aos ambientes naturais, mesmo que de maneira concentrada, devido ao fator de rigidez locacional da atividade. É uma atividade que demanda controle ambiental em todo processo para reduzir os impactos negativos e garantir o equilíbrio dos processos ambientais. Neste contexto o trabalho objetivou:  1 - realizar uma análise multitemporal da cobertura do solo no município de São Thomé das Letras, no estado de Minas Gerais; 2 - quantificar e espacializar as alterações no período determinado entre 1984 a 2011.  Buscou-se visualizar o comportamento da atividade de mineração desde seu início até os dias atuais, e consequentemente, observar a dinamicidade das mudanças ocorridas na cobertura do solo das outras classes mapeadas. Para o mapeamento do uso e cobertura do solo foi utilizado o programa SPRING/INPE e para a análise temporal/espacial de mudanças utilizou-se o modelo <em>Land Change Modeler</em> acoplado ao programa IDRISI. A partir da análise dos resultados foi possível quantificar e espacializar o avanço da mineração sob o campo rupestre/afloramento rochoso; a perda substancial da vegetação densa no intervalo do período analisado; o crescimento exponencial da ocupação urbana; e o surgimento da atividade reflorestamento.</p><p><strong>Palavras-chave:</strong> Análise multitemporal.

Mining is a human activity that transforms the landscape and is one of the most impactful for natural environments, even in a concentrated way, due to locational rigidity factor of activity. It is an activity that requires environmental control throughout the process to reduce the negative impacts and ensure a balance of environmental processes. In that context the study aimed to: 1 - conduct a multi-temporal analysis of land use and land cover in São Thomé das Letras municipality, in Minas Gerais State, Brazil; 2- quantify and map changes from 1984 to 2011 in the </span><span lang="EN-US">area studied. We attempted to visualize the behavior of mining activity from its inception to the present day, and therefore observe the dynamics of change in land use and land cover of other mapped classes. To map land use and land cover was used SPRING/INPE software and to analyze the changes used the Land Change Modeler model, coupled to the IDRISI software. From the analysis of the results was possible to quantify and spatialize the advancement of mining under the outcrop and Rupestrian Fields; occurred substantial loss of dense vegetation in the analyzed time range; the exponential growth of urban occupation; and the emergence of reforestation activity.</span></p><p> </p><p><strong><span lang="EN-US">Keywords: </span></strong><span lang="EN-US">Multi-temporal analysis.

The main purpose of this study is to describe the spatio-temporal analysis of land use and land cover status and to identify land cover changes, especially of deforestation and degradation in evergreen, semi-evergreen rainforests of Chittagong Hill Tracts from 1988-2018 by using Landsat 8 OLI-TIRS and Landsat 5 TM satellite imagery. The ArcGIS v10.5 and ERDAS Imagine v15 software were used to process satellite imageries and assess quantitative data for land-use change assessment of this study area. The study revealed that the area of forest land and water body decreased by 17.92% and 5.43% respectively from 1988-2018. On the other hand, the area of agricultural land, barren land and settlement increased by 45.66%, 312.08% and 240.01% respectively. If the present condition remains constant, the projection of future land-use/ land cover changes for the next 15 years will predict that more than 7.37% dense forest (2253.83 ha) land will be decreased and 19.60% agricultural will be converted to other land uses. This study suggests that proper policy should be adopted urgently to conserve residual forest coverage and restore it to regain its past appearance.

China is experiencing substantial land-use and land-cover change (LUCC), especially in coastal regions, and these changes have caused many ecological problems. This study selected a typical region of Jiangsu Province and completed a comprehensive and detailed spatial-temporal analysis regarding LUCC and the driving forces. The results show that the rate of land-use change has been accelerating, with land-use experiencing the most substantial changes from 2005 to 2010 for most land-use types and the period from 2010 to 2015 showing a reversed changing trend. Built-up land that occupies cropland was the main characteristic of land-use type change. Southern Jiangsu and the coastline region presented more obvious land-use changes. Social-economic development was the main factor driving increased built-up land expansion and cropland reduction. In addition, land-use policy can significantly affect land-use type changes. For land-cover changes, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) for the land area without land-use type changes increased by 0.005 per year overall. Areas with increasing trends accounted for 82.43% of the total area. Both precipitation and temperature displayed more areas that were positively correlated with NDVI, especially for temperature. Temperature correlated more strongly with NDVI change than precipitation for most vegetation types. Our study can be used as a reference for land-use managers to ensure sustainable and ecological land-use and coastal management.
