Data for "Quantifying Urban Growth Patterns in Hanoi Using Landscape Expansion Indices and Time Series Spatial Metrics"

The raster dataset contains built-up land of Hanoi, Vietnam that existed before 1993 and that occurred in three time periods (1993-2001; 2001-2006; 2006-2010). The raster dataset was developed from Landsat TM and ETM(+) using Support Vector Machine Classification Algorithm. This data provides the input data for landscape pattern analysis using FRAGSTAT 4.3 and Landscape Expansion Index described in the method section
