3.2.1. Analysis of Land Use Dynamics

Dynamics of land use are expressed as an increase or decrease in area. Therefore, this method positively affects the analysis of the evolutionary pattern of land use in the study area. In addition, it gives an idea of the future dynamics of transition and evolution of land use over time.

$$KT = \frac{\mathcal{U}lb - \mathcal{U}la}{\mathcal{U}la} \times \frac{1}{T} \tag{1}$$

where *KT* is the dynamic attitude of the pattern using during the study period, *Ua* is the area of the pattern at the beginning of the study period, *Ub* is the area of the pattern at the end of the study period *T* is the time interval of the study years [69].
