          Abstract

          Resumen Los estudios relacionados con los cambios progresivos en la cobertura vegetal y de uso de suelo han cobrado importancia en la investigación ambiental, ya que permiten evaluar las tendencias espacio-temporales de procesos como la deforestación y degradación ambiental, provocadas por actividades humanas. En el presente estudio, se hace una descripción de los cambios de cobertura y uso del suelo en el estado de Morelos durante el periodo 2000-2009. Se identifican 14 clases de coberturas vegetales y usos del suelo, que incluyen cuerpos de agua, los cuales no se consideran en el análisis y se registran dos coberturas que ganan terreno: agricultura, con un incremento de 1 373 ha y urbano, con 189 ha; las que más se transforman son selva baja (1 841 ha) y los bosques, con 858 ha. La dinámica del cambio es compleja y se identifican factores socioambientales y de tenencia de la tierra como las causas principales. Datos satelitales multiespectrales de LANDSAT se usaron para mapear y analizar los cambios de uso de suelo producidos en los años 2000 y 2009, mediante el software ESRI ARCMAP 10. Se empleó la técnica de clasificación supervisada, basada en el algoritmo de máxima verosimilitud. La información sobre el uso de cobertura vegetal y uso del suelo así como la identificación de las posibilidades para su uso óptimo, obtenida con percepción remota y sistemas de información geográfica, es esencial para la selección, planificación y ejecución de planes de ordenamiento territorial, desarrollo, conservación y aprovechamiento de recursos naturales, con el propósito de satisfacer la creciente demanda de las necesidades básicas del hombre, así como su bienestar.

          Abstract: Studies related to the progressive changes in vegetation cover and land-use are an important component in environmental research, since they allow the evaluation of the spatio-temporal trends of such processes as deforestation and environmental degradation, caused by human activities. In the present study, land-cover and land-use change in the State of Morelos during the period 2000-2009, are described. Fourteen types of vegetation cover and land-use, including water bodies, were identified, all though the latter were no included in the analysis. Agricultural and urban land cover increased 1 373 ha and 189 ha, respectively; whereas the land-cover that undergo the greatest transformations are the forests, with 858 ha, and tropical dry forests, with 1 841 ha. The dynamics of change are complex, its main drivers being socio-environmental factors and land tenure. LANDSAT multispectral satellite data were used, with ESRI ARCMAP 10 software, to map and analyze the land-use change between the years 2000 and 2009. The supervised classification technique was used, based on the maximum likelihood algorithm. Information on the vegetation cover and land-use, and the identification of alternatives for their optimal use, obtained through the use of remote sensing and geographic information systems, are essential for the selection, planning and execution of land management plans, as well as for the development, conservation and use of natural resources required to satisfy the growing demand for basic needs and for human welfare.

            Understanding interobserver agreement: the kappa statistic.

            Items such as physical exam findings, radiographic interpretations, or other diagnostic tests often rely on some degree of subjective interpretation by observers. Studies that measure the agreement between two or more observers should include a statistic that takes into account the fact that observers will sometimes agree or disagree simply by chance. The kappa statistic (or kappa coefficient) is the most commonly used statistic for this purpose. A kappa of 1 indicates perfect agreement, whereas a kappa of 0 indicates agreement equivalent to chance. A limitation of kappa is that it is affected by the prevalence of the finding under observation. Methods to overcome this limitation have been described.
