Abstract:

Land use/land cover analysis were determined in bramhamgarimatam village, Kadapa disrtrict, Andhra Pradesh by using remote sensing and geographical Information System(GIS) technology. These include Survey of India (SOI) topographic sheets of 57J9,57 J12, 57J14 and 57N1&57N2 of 1:50,000 scale and satellite image IRS P6 geocoded data of 1:50,000 scale. The land use and land cover analysis in and around Rajampeta area has been attempted based on thematic mapping of the area consisting of built-up land, agriculture land, water bodies, forest and waste land using the satellite image. In this study area major natural resource is forest. Because of human activities the extent of the land under forest is getting reduced. In the same way land used for cultivation is also decreasing. But at the same time land under built up area is decreasing. The result shows that forest lands are well distributed in the Western part towards the middle of East of the study area and it covers 106 sq. km (38 per cent). Uncultivated land occupies 122 sq. km, Cultivated land occupies 24 sq. km (24%).water bodies occupy 66 sq. km (21%) and Built-up land occupies 3000 sq. m (1.%). Well developed dendritic drainage pattern is there in the study area.
