Land use and land cover change detection of pune urban expansion by using GIS and RS technology
Dr. Tipe Harish Bhanudas* Mr. Chetan Laxman Hulsure**
The history of urban growth and urbanisation reveals that urban areas belong to the most dynamic land cover types on earth. The trend of urban growth is usually towards the urban-rural fringe where there are less built areas, irrigation and other water management systems. Regardless of the regional economic importance, urban growth, particularly the expansion of residential and commercial land use towards the periphery of urban areas, has an impact on the ecosystem (Yuan et al. 2005). It is evident that such trend of urban growth has an impact on natural resources and on land cover dynamics at large.
Land use and land cover change is a major issue in global environment change, and is especially significant in rapidly developing regions in the world. With its economic development, population growth, and urbanization, pune, a major municipal corporation in
Key words: Change detection, Land use, land cover, GIS, Remote Sensing.
