“…These maps soon become outdated with the passage of time, particularly in a rapidly changing environment. The traditional method of data collection of land use/cover through the survey is quite difficult (Rao D. P.; Gautam N.C.; Nagaraja R & Mohan P. R. 1996; Olorunfemi 1983). Nowadays the developed techniques of satellite imagery processing by remote sensing and GIS analysis have cut down the cost and time to prepare land use/cover maps in regular intervals of time (Mc Garical et al 2002).…”

“…This method successfully provides efficient information on temporal trends and spatial distribution of urban areas, which is required for understanding, modelling and projecting land changes (Lu D &Weng Q 2006). The hyperspectral and multispectral images can provide information of inaccessible areas, vegetation patches, related to phenological types, gregarious formations and communities occurring in a unique environmental setup whereas the temporal images help in monitoring a landscape over time (Delcourt 1987; Olorunfemi 1983). The images also provide a digital mosaic of the spatial arrangement of land cover and vegetation types amenable to computer processing (Chuvieco E 1999).…”

Human consumption and management of land, i.e., how people transmit to a landscape as a source of livelihood, shelter, recreation, or industry, are powerful forces shaping patterns and dynamics in human-occupied landscapes. Understanding and managing landscape change, therefore, requires a thorough knowledge of the developmental processes the area is undergoing, causing the change in the land use pattern over time. In this study land use/cover dynamics of the Central Highland of Deccan Peninsula and Semi-Arid zone of Gujarat Rajputana bio-geographic regions of India was assessed using a combination of hybrid classification, markov analysis approach within the time frame of 2000-2013. In this time frame, major changes have been identified in dense forest, open forest, cropland, fallow land and in the barren landforms. The landscape has witnessed a substantial increase in built-up areas from 31317 sq. km. in 2000 to 52338 sq. km in 2013. The scrubland has largely declined from 35713.06 sq. km in 2000 to 23003.88 sq.km in 2013; it might have resulted from the transition of scrubland to the fallow land which was predicted as more than 70% in the first phase and more than 30% in the later phase. The area under dense forest constantly decreased in the studied time (84027 sq. km to 71225.37 sq. km). The Markov analysis estimated a probability of changing of open forest types to fallow land (36% in 2000-2006 and 20% in 2006-2013). As the environmental damage is irreversible due to industrialization, therefore a sound strategy needs to be implemented for sustainable use of natural resources that can go hand in hand.

“…These maps soon become outdated with the passage of time, particularly in a rapid changing environment. In fact according to Olorunfemi (1983), monitoring changes and time series analysis is quite difficult with traditional method of surveying. In recent years, satellite remote sensing techniques have been developed, which have proved to be of immense value for preparing accurate land use and land cover maps and monitoring changes at regular intervals of time.…”

The study was on change detection using Surveying and Geoinformatics techniques. For effective research study, Landsat satellite images and Quickbird imagery of Minna were acquired for three periods, 2000, 2005 and 2012. The research work demonstrated the possibility of using Surveying and Geoinformatics in capturing spatial-temporal data. The result of the research work shows a rapid growth in built-up land between 2000 and 2005, while the periods between 2005 and 2012 witnessed a reduction in this class. It was also observed that change by 2020 may likely follow the trend in 2005 – 2012 all things being equal. Built up area may increase to 11026.456 hectares, which represent 11% change. The study has shown clearly the extent to which MSS imagery and Landsat images together with extensive ground- truthing can provide information necessary for land use and land cover mapping. Attempt was made to capture as accurate as possible four land use and land cover classes as they change through time.

“…In case of inaccessible regions, this technique is perhaps the only method of obtaining the required data on a cost and time effective basis (Olorunfemi, 1983). Satellite imagery is able to provide more frequent data collection on a regular basis unlike aerial photographs.…”

Land use and cover Changes, Climate change, remote sensing GIS.The present paper discusses the phenomena of land use and land cover (LULC) which has undergone constant changes over the past few decades due to major variations in the environment caused by anthropogenic and natural factors. A comprehensive review of the studies has done so far in which a decreasing pattern in land use land coverage has been identified. It has also been observed that land use affects land cover and vice versa. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………… Introduction:-Land Use/Land Cover:-Land is defined as a place on which all human activity is being conducted. Use of land resources by the people gives rise to -land use" which varies with the purposes it serves, whether they be food production, provision of shelter, recreation, extraction and processing of materials, and the bio-physical characteristics of land itself. Hence, land use is being shaped under the influence of two broad sets of forces -human needs and environmental features and processes. The terms land use and land cover are not synonymous and the literature draws attention to their use and land cover change. Land cover is the biophysical state of the earth's surface differences so that they are used properly in studies of land and immediate subsurface (Turner et al. 1995). It describes the physical state of the land surface; e.g., cropland, mountains or forests in Moser, 1996. Land cover deals with the quantity and type of surface vegetation, water, and earth materials (Meyer and Turner, 1994). i.e man-made constructions (buildings etc), the type of material used in housing structure (Parveen, 2017). The term land cover originally referred to the type of vegetation that covered the land surface, but has broadened subsequently to include other aspects of the physical environment also, such as soils, biodiversity and surfaces and groundwater (Moser, 1996). In the disaster prone areas of landslides, the destruction of forests and the vegetative cover that binds the top soil at an increasing pace and the conversion of forest land into agricultural and horticultural holdings (Khan et al., 2017) brings changes in land use and land cover.
