L’homme à travers ses actions dénature fortement l’occupation des sols engendrant une modification du milieu naturel. Cet impact rend la nécessité de fournir aux décideurs des cartes d’occupations des sols et des informations relatives à leur état et dynamique. C’est dans cette optique qu’une étude de l’occupation des sols a été conduite dans les carrières de phosphates au sud-est du Togo. Cette recherche vise à analyser la dynamique spatiale de l’occupation du sol dans ces carrières.

Under certain circumstances, land titling, property regime changes, and land‐use conversions yield substantial profits. Yet few people possess the wealth, knowledge, and networks to benefit from these procedures. In the Yucatán Peninsula, a region recently targeted as a prominent investment location by the Mexican national government (mainly with the “Tren Maya” megaproject) and the private capital, forestlands collectively owned as ejidos by Mayan peasants are on the trend to complete privatization.

Socioeconomic shocks can shape future land-use trajectories. Armed conflicts are an extreme form of a socioeconomic shock, but our understanding of how armed conflicts affect land-use change is limited. Our goal was to assess land-use changes related to the 1991–1994 Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the Caucasus region. We classified multi-temporal Landsat imagery, mapped land-use changes during and after the conflict, and applied matching statistics to isolate the effect of the conflict from other potential drivers of land change.
