Application of post Classification in Landuse & Landcover Stratagies at north Chennai Industrial Area
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Research in Geo Sciences & Remote Sensing - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Northern Chennai is highly urbanized due to rapid industrialization, in this Manuscript, we are present a comprehensive set of indicators and put forward a new evaluation method for measuring environmental impacts of urbanization. With the effective use of GIS tool in remote sensing data, the Land Use and Land Cover change strategies of north Chennai industrial area are analysed and discussed. Landsat TM images of this area is downloaded and processed in GIS tool for the year 1992, 2005 and 2015 to produce the LULC change maps. These maps are used to assess the area of four types of classes which are Water, Barren, Greenery and Builtup. From this analysis, it is concluded that the barren land is drastically occupied, constructed and converted into buildup lands from 1992 to 2015. The rapid urbanization due to industrial expansions in this area has maximized in the last two decades, some portions of water bodies and greenery land have been converted into buildup land. This leads to increase of livelihood demands and various types of pollution. Effortless use of remote sensing and GIS technique is helpful in understanding the situation that exists in this type of complex zones. The information derived from this type of studies can be utilized in future management of Urbanization and towards sustainable development.
