Abstract
The importance of the land cover map in many areas including environmental issues, regional planning, sustainable development and many other issues has been considered in the global literature. This study aims to detect land cover changes that occurred in a part of Cameron Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia for a decade between early 2008 until the late 2017. However, in this research Landsat-7 (ETM+) satellite data (2008 and 2017) were acquired and corrected using environment for visualizing images (ENVI) software. Support vector machine (SVM) model was used to classify land covers of both years.
