Description
Delineating the rural-urban fringe around an urban area has importance
because much urban growth takes place on rural lands, often agricultural,
thus changing land use patterns. Characteristics of geographic phenomena
in this fringe area are analyzed and illustrated. This investigation
examines.the possibilities for geographically delineating with multi-spectral
imagery from ERTS-1 satellite the fringe zone of Delray Beach,
a coastal city in southeastern Florida. Experimental methodology interprets
land use categories from high-altitude color-infrared and ERTS-1
imagery. A closed-circuit television system demonstrates possibilities
for automatic analysis. Land use data were classified with automation
as the principal objective. Some filtering techniques were used for
image enhancement. Test results indicate that with sufficient ground
data acquisition and statistical computations the fringe zone can be
mapped using ERTS imagery as a data base.
