Abstract

Landscape units in the coastal zones are changed over time due to human impact and natural forces. The changes in landscape are reflected in landscape structure. Change, in this case, encompasses any modification occurring in the landscape over time. Landscape structure investigates the mosaic of land patches defined by their measure, number, size and shape. This paper explores the linkage between landscape and future land use/land cover (LULC) conditions in a coastal zone of Nam Dinh province, a northern region of Vietnam, in an effort to identify landscape change. Remote Sensing and landscape metrics are important tools, used to understand landscape structure and landscape change. In order to use metrics, numeric data on land use are obtained from Landsat satellite images of two points in time (2000 and 2017) showing seven land use types including agricultural land, residential area, mangrove forest, aquacultural land, water bodies, sandy beaches, and salty fields. Those landscape metrics are used in combination with GIS to evaluate landscape structure
