ABSTRACT

In this study, we aimed to compare and verify the representative land cover(LC) mapsand arable land area statistical data that represent the area of the agricultural ecosystem, a majornational ecosystem. To this end, data forfour periods—1990, 2000, 2010, and 2020—when land covermaps are available were collected. Correlation analysis and paired sample t-tests were conducted toverify the area differences between the two datasets. Additionally, spatial autocorrelation analysisusing Moran’s I was performed to identify the spatial distribution and clustering characteristics wherearea differences occur. The analysis results showed that the area differences between the two datasets ranged from a minimum of 10.9% to a maximum of 21.4%, with the differences continuously increasing. From 1990to 2020, the change in agricultural land on the land cover maps decreased by 17.55%, while the arableland area decreased by 24.67%, confirming the difference in changes between the two datasets. Amongthe entire analysis regions, areas where the land cover measurement was larger than the arable landarea accounted for 76.13% of the total composition ratio.
