Feb 1, 2022 · Finally, coastal reclamation type maps were converted to shapefile format (i.e., polygon) by “Classification to Vector” function in ENVI, and the area (under the projection of Universal Transverse Mercator) and proportion of each coastal reclamation type were calculated by using the statistical function of the attribute table in ArcGIS. 3.4.
May 1, 2024 · Coastal reclamation had been becoming an important way for promoting the development and use of China’s coastal resources before 2018.
