Abstract/Description

The Space Shuttle Program at the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Brevard County made a significant impact on the aerospace industry, but what is unknown is how it impacted the county surrounding it, specifically through land use/land cover (LU/LC) change and population dynamics. This research collected land cover and population data throughout the program to determine the impact, while also creating a record of the state of LU/LC and population in Brevard County in general during the...
Show moreThe Space Shuttle Program at the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Brevard County made a significant impact on the aerospace industry, but what is unknown is how it impacted the county surrounding it, specifically through land use/land cover (LU/LC) change and population dynamics. This research collected land cover and population data throughout the program to determine the impact, while also creating a record of the state of LU/LC and population in Brevard County in general during the same period. Urbanization and tourism were also evaluated as possible catalysts for change when analyzing the LU/LC maps created in ArcMap and the population graphs from Microsoft Excel. Calculated area for different LU/LC classes were the main focus of this research, which led to the finding that urbanization has been a major factor of change in Brevard County through expanding residential areas rather than tourism and change from the Space Shuttle Program was centered in cities closest to the KSC.

Abstract/Description
-
Land cover classification is necessary for understanding the state of the surface of the Earth at varying regions of interest. Knowledge of the Earth’s surface is critical in land-use planning, especially for the project study area Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area, where various vegetation, wild-life, and cultural components rely on adequate land-cover knowledge. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the capability of UAV true color imagery for land cover...
Show moreLand cover classification is necessary for understanding the state of the surface of the Earth at varying regions of interest. Knowledge of the Earth’s surface is critical in land-use planning, especially for the project study area Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area, where various vegetation, wild-life, and cultural components rely on adequate land-cover knowledge. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the capability of UAV true color imagery for land cover classification. In addition to the objective of land cover classification, comparison of varying spatial resolutions of the imagery will be analyzed in the accuracy assessment of the output thematic maps. These resolutions will also be compared at varying training sample sizes to see which configuration performed best.
