Urban fringe is the foreland in the process of "urban sprawl", especially in developing countries e.g. Bangladesh. The rapid land use changes in this transitional and semi-urban system often puzzled urban researchers. Recently, a spatially explicit model named CLUE (Conversion of Land Use and its Effects) is widely applied to explore the spatial and temporal dynamics of land use. It provides a useful tool to understand the complex and dynamic spatial pattern of urban fringe better. CLUE model is designed to obtain insights into the complexity of the land-use situation as well as to explore...
