Foret Classee de la Mondah（FCM）ラ・モンダ保護林の土地利用・土地被覆（LULC）の変化について、定性的及び定量的に説明し、主な変動因子を求めた。このため、2000年4月7日にETM+、及び、2014年4月6日にOLIによる2時期の観測データについて、最尤法により分類後にLULCの変化を求めた。この結果、周辺地域の人口増加にともない宅地面積が20倍に急増し、不可逆的な人為的変化が見いだされた。これに加え、森林地域の面積が9.77%減少した。現地調査におけるGPSにより特定した位置情報、Google Earthによる高解像度データをサンプル領域の抽出あるいは分類結果の検証に利用した。LULCの持続的な管理を可能とするための保全政策を検討する段階で、政策立案者に対して、参照データとなる関連情報を見出すことができた。The Land Use / Land Cover (LUCL) changes in Foret Classee de la Mondah (FCM) in Gabon was studied to account for changes occurred in the past as a categorical and numerical changes and to explain their main driving causes. For this purpose, the LULC changes were analyzed using post-classification comparison technique, following to the maximum likelihood supervised classification, between two multi-temporal Landsat images of ETM+ and OLI, which were acquired on April 7th 2000 and April 6th 2014, respectively. Results highlighted irreversible human-induced changes, where the rapid growth of built-up areas exhibited 20 times from its initial area, because of the anthropogenic pressure of surrounding population. In addition, major changes occurred mainly in forested area with the loss of 9.77% of its initial area. During the classification process, the use of collateral data, such as GPS coordinates and high resolution images retrieved from ground survey and Google Earth, were extremely relevant to enhancement of sample selection of ROSs and for the validation of classification map as well. However, this study provided relevant findings which could be used as a reference for decision makers while developing conservation policies in order to generate sustainable LULC management practices
