Urban sprawl assessment using time-series LULC and NDVI variation: a case study of Sepang, Malaysia

Urban sprawl assessment using time-series LULC and NDVI variation: a case study of Sepang, Malaysia

Rapid urbanization that caused urban sprawl is a major worldwide concern. In this study an assessment of urban sprawl was carried out based on Land Use Land Cover (LULC), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Difference Built-up Index (NDBI) variation in Sepang, Malaysia.
