First time using maps in 'R'?

 Anyone experimenting with maps in 'R' can get started here. This focuses on the main 'cran' mapping packages:- tmap, ggplot2, mapview, mapdeck with 'leaflet' https://bookdown.org/nicohahn/making_maps_with_r5/docs/introduction.html

Geocomputation with 'R'

 Had to add this one in. Probably the best in the 'R' series of publications. https://geocompr.robinlovelace.net/index.html

Spatial Data Science - with applications in 'R'

 Another great resource for 'R' developers. https://keen-swartz-3146c4.netlify.app/

Comparative Assessment of the Unsupervised Land Use Classification by Using Proprietary GIS and Open Source Software

Abstract Mapping and investigating land use land cover (LULC) changes over a particular region is crucial for resource management, sustainability development, and holistic planning. An increasing rate of urban growth and urban sprawl could induce changes in land use as well as land transformation. However, accurate and up-to-date information about LULC is required for providing better understanding and assessing the environmental consequences of such changes.  In this study, the 2017 image from the Sentinel-2A Satellite was utilized to demonstrate the land cover classification analysis in Iskandar Malaysia. Usually, land use classification analysis is conducted through proprietary GIS software. However, this decade shows the advancement in software development, thus the emerging of free/open source software in the geospatial world.  Hence, to execute land cover analysis using the Unsupervised Classification technique, the proprietary GIS software (ArcGIS) and free/open source ...
