Land-use/cover change (LUCC) has emerged as a crucial component of applied research in remote sensing. This work compares two methodologies, based on two data sources, for assessing amounts of land transformed from open to built space in three regions in Israel. We use a decision-tree methodology to define open and built space from remotely sensed (RS) Landsat data and a geographic information systems (GIS) platform for analysing 1:50000 scale survey maps. The methodologies are developed independently, used to quantify and characterize the spatial pattern of built space, and then analysed for their strengths and weaknesses. We then develop a method for combining the built area maps derived from each methodology, capitalizing on the strengths of each. The RS methodology had higher omission errors for built space in areas with high vegetation levels and low-density exurban development, but high commission errors in the arid region. The GIS analysis generally had fewer errors, although systematically missed built surfaces that were not specifically buildings or roads, as well as structures intentionally omitted from the maps. We recommend using maps for baseline estimates whenever possible and then complementing the estimates with clusters of built areas identified with the RS methodology. The results of this comparative study are relevant to both researchers and practitioners who need to understand the strengths and weaknesses of mapping techniques they are using.
