Résumé
This study deals with the long-term monitoring of the environmental impact of the refugee camp Lukole, Tanzania. Based on high resolution (HR) satellite time series of different Landsat sensors, the whole lifespan of the camp is covered, starting before the camp was established (1994) until seven years after the dismantling (2015). A fully automated preclassification approach for different Landsat sensors was applied, and the results were integrated into a post-classification object-specific change comparison to quantify de- and reforestation processes during this time. The second part of the study will focus on different visualization methods to display the changes throughout the whole study area over time.
