Dynamics of Land Use Pattern in Bastar Plateau of Chhattisgarh: A Temporal and Spatial Analysis
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
The present study was undertaken with the broad objectives, viz. To study the dynamics of the land-use pattern at Chhattisgarh state and Bastar plateau. The State was comprised of three agro-climatic zones, Northern Hills, Chhattisgarh plains and Bastar plateau. Bastar plateau out of three agro-climatic zones Bastar plateau was selected. For this, secondary data on land use statistics for 32 year’s period from 1984-85 to 2000-15 were collected from the different publication of Government of Chhattisgarh. For the estimation, the data were grouped under two periods i.e., first period (1984-2000) before formation of Chhattisgarh state and the second period (2000-15) before Chhattisgarh state. Regarding the temporal change in different land use categories, it was observed that during 1984-2000 net area sown was decreased, whereas, other categories had a non- significant growth rate. 2000-15 the forest land and permanent pasture had significant growth rate the net area is sown was estimated to be significant and decreased in period 1984-2000, whereas, the growth rate for permanent pasture and other fallow land were estimated to be non-significant but they increased by 0.28 and 0.86 annually. During the period of 1984-2000 in Bastar plateau culturable waste had positive and significant growth rate (0.98 per cent per annum), whereas, during 2000-15 the forest land increased significantly by 0.130 per cent annually.
