Abstract:

Land use/ land cover is an imperative component in considerate the interactions of the human activities with the atmosphere and thus it is compulsory to screen and perceive the changes to maintain a defensible environment. In this paper achallenge has been made to study the variations in land use and land cover parts of Coimbatore and Tiruppur districts. The study was carried out finished Remote Sensing and GIS approach using SOI topo sheets, LANDSAT imagery of 2000 and IRS-P6- LISS-III 2009. The land use/land cover arrangement was accomplished based on the Survey of India topo sheets and Satellite imageries. GIS software is used to prepare the thematic maps and pulverized truth clarifications were also completed to check the accuracy of the classification. The ten year time period of 2000 -2009 shows the major type of land use change.Agricultural activities were decreased from 33.9% to 26.3%, interchangeably fallow land was increased 43.9% to 54.5% and built-up-land was increased 0.1 % to 0.3% The reasons for this change detection have beendiscussed. Though plantation, land with scrub, wet logged, barren rocky, tanks and reservoirs have also experienced the change. Coimbatore and Tiruppur district are recognized as one of the industrialized areas in India. It is required to closely monitor the land use/land cover changes for sustaining a sustainable environment for a proper development.
