  • Abstract
    A database with land use change in The Netherlands was created using visual interpretation of Landsat TM imagery. The real land use changes were separated from other changes in the database by storing the real changes in a separate binary mask with code "1" representing "change" and code "0" representing "no-change". The database was validated using a stratified random sample of 394 points. The change database has a producer\´s accuracy of 0.759. However, the current methodologies for validating a change database are not perfect and further research is necessary for proper validation.
