Trends and patterns of land use and land cover changes in the NCT of Delhi
Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Urbanization and industrialization have altered the landscape of NCT of Delhi through the developmental processes and these developmental processes resulted in widespread expansion of grey infrastructure and the decline in vegetation cover. These changes in grey infrastructure and vegetation cover have considerable impact on the land use and land cover of the NCT of Delhi. The present research study attempts to analyze the spatial and multi-temporal land use and land cover change in the NCT of Delhi by using Geographical Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing. The present research study is based on the remote sensing data of Landsat – 7 (TM), Landsat – 7 (ETM+) and IRS – P6 LISS III of 1987, 1999 and 2006 respectively. The data interpretation and analysis of LULCC in the NCT of Delhi helps in understanding the changes in LULCC, their causes and their impact on urban environment.
