摘      要：Introduction:Kuala Lumpur is currently experiencing a large-scale urban *** study explores a multi-buffer ring method to investigate the spatial and temporal dynamics of urban growth in the Kuala Lumpur metropolitan area by using Geographical Information Systems(GIS)and remote sensing imageries from1989 to ***:The first Landsat images from 1989,2001,and 2014 were classified with maximum likelihood classification to produce land cover maps and identify four types of land cover:urban/built-up,agriculture,forest,and ***,the area coverage for all the land use types at different points in time were measured and combined with distance from the city *** on,urbanization densities from the city center to the outside for every 1-km distance from 1 to 50 km are ***:City density on the distance of 5,8,15,20,and 30 km was very high in the years 1989 and ***,urban expansion shows fast and slow growth stages with high-speed growth shifting to the east side of the ***:In general,the population,traffic conditions,industrialization,and policy are the major factors thatinfluenced the urban expansion.
