Title : USING LANDSAT SATELLITE DATA FOR LAND USE LAND COVER CHANGE DETECTION IN HISAR CITY
Inder Kumar, Dr. Sajad Nabi Dar

Abstract :

The present paper discussed the Land use-Land cover classification of the fringe area of Hisar city. For the classification process, the Landsat satellite image data from three time periods i.e. 2000, 2010, and 2020 have been presented. Both primary and secondary data have been used for the mapping and monitoring of land use land cover. The primary data have been obtained from the actual field survey for site identification. Landsat images of three different dates from the last three decades were collected from Earth explorer (USGS). Different operations related to acquiring images were performed using Arc-GIS 10.2 software. This study shows the variability of land use and land cover in the city of Hisar during the last ten years. The study reveals that there is a significant growth in the Urban area from 2000 to 2020 i.e 12.8 %, the agricultural land shows a decrease from 13.8% in 2000 to 10.8% in 2020, Baren land also shows a decrease from 16% to 11%, Planted trees also effected from rapid urban sprawl and decreased from 16% to only 2% in 2020, with the growing demand of water facility in the urban area, the artificial water body shows a growth of 0.59% in 2020. Thus, this study shows that the expanding urban influence in the surrounding has led to significant changes in different categories of land use land cover, under which there has been an increase in certain categories such as urbanization, whereas agricultural land, barren land, and planted trees show a significant decrease.
