| Abstract: | It is well known that changes in landuse and landcover e.g., vegetation, forests, soils, water quality etc. have a great impact on the economic and social development of a region. In most of these cases, a knowledge of existing landuse and landcover and its rate of change is essential prior to any planning activity. Remote Sensing, particularly from a satellite platform is potentially an effective and economic means to collect the data and to monitor changes occurring in landuse categories. This paper deals with a study carried out in Dehradun - Roorkee region for preparation of the landuse and landcover maps and monitoring changes, if any, over a period of 5 years, from landsat images using Visual Interpretation Techniques.. |
