The study aimed to determine how changes in land cover and surface water are being made using stratified objectoriented analysis based on the interpretation of remote sensing images. It is the first step toward managing the region’s annual land-use inventories projects. The study used Sentinel-2 images from 2019 through 2021 to delineate the changing urban land cover in the Ninh Kieu District, Can Tho City, Viet Nam. The study used QGIS software to interpret the images and eCognition software to classify the objects based on the NDBI, NDVI, and NDWI indices. The interpretation results were checked for the accuracy, and the land cover was changed over the years. The results show that urban land cover changes with the increase of urban land and the decrease of vegetation land used for urban land, while water surface area inwards decreased from 2019 to 2020 but increased in 2021. Maps of the current state of the urban land covers in the study area were delineated. The interpretation results contribute to the preliminary method by using satellite images for the annual land use inventory project in the region, even though some difficulties still exist and need to be modified.
The study aimed to evaluate the soil environmental characteristics of Vinh Long Province’s perennial crop-growing area using principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis (CA). Soil environmental quality data were collected in eight districts of Vinh Long province for 27 physical and chemical parameters. CA and PCA analysis was used to group and identify critical parameters affecting perennial crops’ soil environment. The findings demonstrate low to moderate soil compaction porosity, buffering capacity, and structure for perennial crops. In addition, the soil has a low pH, electrical conductivity, total soluble salts, aluminum, and cation exchange capacity. Although rich in nutrients, the content of organic matter, available phosphorus, cations, and trace elements is only low to moderate. CA results showed three districts suitable for strongly developing perennial crops: Tra On, Mang Thit, and Vung Liem. The PCA results showed that except for density, the buffer capacity of the soil, and dissolved Al3+, the upcoming monitoring program must incorporate all remaining criteria. The study’s findings offer crucial information to help the management organization devise strategies for enhancing and sustainably expanding perennial crops in the province. It is necessary to further evaluate the soil’s environmental quality over time and soil depth and determine the frequency of monitoring in the study area.
