Abstract


Land, sometimes referred to as dry land, is the solid surface of Earth that is not permanently covered by water. The study describes the land use and land cover (LULC) dynamics in Bokaro district at Jharkhand from 1991 to 2011 using Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS). Whatever, human activities is invented or generated begins from LAND. Therefore, its uses and disintegration by human throughout the period of time is very essential to be known. A city grows not only by population but also by change in its spatial dimensions. The present study investigated the change detection of Bokaro district, Jharkhand, India using LANDSAT satellite data for the year 1991, 2001 and 2011. Topo sheet and high resolution images from Google earth were also used for the study. The process used for the study is known as image processing under which supervised classification method was used using different classes for the study area. The results indicated that there is a drastic increase in agriculture and habitation whereas forest, water and fallow land reduced within the district boundary limit. Migration is still continuing in the district and afforestation/human activities done throughout the period effecting in the reduction of water.
