<p> A detailed land-use study is performed in a small rural
area in Central Ontario. The physical characteristics
of the study area are classified as five distinct land
units. The land-use patterns are mapped and described
using panchromatic aerial photograph flown in 1954 and
1971. Using the sequential photography, land-use
changes are identified and described. In order to
evaluate the hypothesis that the land-use changes are
related to the study area's physical environment, a
numerical analysis is performed. Statistical tests
indicate a strong relationship between the land
classification and the types of land-use change. The
research results concur with previous observations
in physically similar areas. </p> / Thesis / Bachelor of Arts (BA)
