Abstract

Remote sensing has been a highly effective and efficient method for spatial and socio-political analyses for several decades. It utilizes satellite images to map land use and land cover (LULC) and detect changes in this regard. One of Southeast Asia’s megacities, Bangkok has undergone significant land use dynamics and related socioeconomic activity changes. Recently, the new Land and Buildings Tax Act B.E. 2562 (A.D. 2019) has been implemented, which could impact land-use changes, particularly in vacant lands. This study aims to review the literature on LULC changes in Bangkok since the implementation of the land tax and to provide a summary of the main findings. The reviews indicate that previous literature on LULC in Bangkok has primarily focused on environmental or spatial factors, rather than socio-economic ones. This highlights a gap in our understanding of the socio-economic and LULC impacts of land taxation.
