Land use represents how the land is being used. It includes categories like agriculture, industrial lands. Land cover refers to natural or manmade properties. It includes waterbodies and vegetation. The ratio of Land use/Land cover represents eco system. More amount of industrial land than agriculture land refers to imbalance of eco system caused by industrial effects. This kind of complexities can be solved by Remote sensing in conjuction with change detection methods. The Temporal coverage of different Remote Sensing satellites provides information of Land use/Land cover of an particular area. Change detection is processing of identifying changes at different intervals of time. The amount of changes thus detected can help in predicting the impact on environment so that preventive measures can be taken when necessary. The main aim of this work is to study Land Use/Land cover changes for preparing future map.Read More
