Abstract

Unprecedented Growth of an area measured is an important task because it play an important role for future development of that area. The change analysis was performed by post classification comparison method, comparing the data of two different sensors (Lands at TM and LISS III IRS P-6), at different time periods (years 1992 and 2004). The growth of Delhi measured between two time periods was based on the above data set. The results showed that there was rapid change in land cover/land use. It was found that there was a phenomenal change in the built-up area in watersheds, loss of forest cover and change in agriculture land. There is a great need for sustainable management of resources to maximise benefits of societal resources. On the basis of these data the land transformation map for different time periods has been prepared and showing land transformation data.
