Saudi Arabian Capitals Urban Land Cover Maps: 1985-2019

A CCDC algorithm was used to produce 13 sets of geographical maps. Each set represents one capital city of Saudi Arabia: Riyadh (which also serves as the country’s capital), Buridah, Ha’il, Dammam, Makkah, Madinah, Arar, Skakah Tabuk, Albaha, Abha, Jazan, and Najran. Each of the 13 datasets contains 35 annual maps from 1985 to 2019. The file format of these datasets is the .hdr file. The dataset is free to download. In the case of using the urban land cover maps, please cites the website and the paper: Aljaddani AH, Song X-P, Zhu Z.
