Monitoring of Land Use Change Using Satellite Remote Sensing for Sustainable Resource Management

Abstract

In the international situation, where implementation and monitoring are being promoted to achieve the Sustainability Development Goals, "Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production" is particularly important for the use of mineral resources, and decision-making based on fair and objective Life Cycle Assessment （LCA） is essential. This paper summarizes the current status of satellite remote sensing, which is an effective technology for widespread area and long-term environmental monitoring and explains how satellite remote sensing can be used to estimate the land use change intensity, which has been used in environmental LCA.
