A raster-based GIS technique and 1:50,000 topographic maps of six periods since as early as 1898 were used to study land use/cover changes in Sarobetsu Mire (516 km2, with 2,267 grids of 500 m × 500 m in size), Hokkaido, the second largest wetland in Japan. The main land uses/covers in 1898 were wasteland and wetland, whereas those in 1996 were dry field (mainly meadow and pasture), wasteland and broadleaved forest, most of which were converted from former wasteland and wetland. The largest changes of land use/cover took place from 1898 to 1923, backed by the Hokkaido Colonizatio
