Changing of Land Use/Land Cover Patterns of Arambagh Municipality in Last Two Decades by using Remote Sensing and GIS Techniques

Arijit Ghosh ^[2]

Abstract: Land use/land cover changes are exceptionally normal in late time as a result of the over the top populace weight around the world. Remote sensing and GIS technology is exceptionally backed up to perfectly distinguish the changing situations of land use/land cover of this study region. Diverse satellite images of two years 1991 and 2011 have been utilized for this study. Some product like ERDAS Imagine 2014 and Arc GIS 10.1 are utilized to induce the mapping of compatible changes from 1991 to 2011. The consequence of this study is inconceivable in most recent 20 years. There is an extreme transmutation in the developmental range and for the expanding developed region the horticultural area and normal vegetation scope are managing. This is the other purpose behind augmenting the measure of decrepit area. Due to over populace injunctive approval of victuals builds, the settlement scope hampers the farming region. So the extravagant weight in a specific area misfortune the richness of the area quickly. The primary point of this paper is to investigate the spatial-fleeting land use/land spread changes in 20 years in the Arambagh Municipality range.
