Abstract
This paper summarized the current and new trend in land-use change modeling, which have been developed for a couple of decades and have been increasingly attracted the attention of scientists all over the world. First, the rationale for the essential of land-use modeling was discussed. Land-use modeling has been developed in order to provide information for decision makers. However, these days, the technology bring new trend for land-use modelling process which comprise the participation the public community. Second chapter gave the reasons why categorizing of land-use change projection is difficult. There are many methodology approaches for land-use model. However, they overlapped in concept and methodology. Thus, the third chapter focused on current and potential approach of land-use change model. There are eight main methodology including: Markov chains; economic based; geographic based; Statistical Analysis; cellular automata (CA); geographic based, neural network analysis; agent-based and integrated analysis. Our review aims at the compactness, conciseness and synthesis.
