    In Malaysia, areas under oil palm plantations have increased dramatically since the early twentieth century and have resulted in multiple conversions of land change. This paper presents a spatial and temporal model for simulation of oil palm expansion in the Kuala Langat district, Malaysia.

    Multi-objective-based modeling for land use change analysis in the South West of Selangor, Malaysia

    This study addresses resolution of a multi-objective land allocation problem and simulation of land change in the south west of Selangor state, Malaysia. The landscape experiences three conflicting objectives of land change, including urban/built-up development, oil palm development, and forest protection. The three conflicting objectives were simultaneously evaluated through developing three distinct sets of driving factors of land change to find a compromised solution to satisfy the requirements of all objectives.
