        abstract = {Spatial simulation is a technique for mapping dynamic processes, supported by models and tools that interact with urban development. Spatial models are suitable applications for analyzing future direction and land use change. This article is on theoretical review on cellular automata land use modeling applications. Spatial planners are increasingly using land-use modeling techniques, among other simulation applications. Several simulation methods and tools are available in the field, but most of these approaches have limitations. FUTURES, Urban Sim, SLEUTH, CLUE, and METRONAMICA are popular land use modeling applications/tools that have been around for decades. This research consists with introduction session of CA applications, detailed review on CA applications on methodologies, inputs, parameters, outputs of each application and conclusion. Study aims to identify the best applications to estimate the land use changes.},
