Change Detection and NDVI Using RS and GIS In Parts of Parbhani District

Abstract

Identification of Land use Land cover (LULC) changes alongside vegetation spread is presently gaining
central significance in verity of applications. Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) has been
ended up being a potential tool for researching and getting exact information of LULC. The primary objective of this
study is to analyze LULC and vegetation changes for two arrangements of satellite information IRS-P6-LISS-III 2008
and IRS-P6-LISS-III 2011 respectively. The arrangement of images is obtained for the year 2008 and 2011 for the same
season in order to lessen the impact of regular varieties of vegetation. Supervised classification technique is utilized to
screen LULC changes, whereas the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) method is utilized to gauge
vegetation scope over a study zone. The results reveal that LULC of cropland increased by 1094.453 ha and depletion of
water body by 24.162 ha whereas depletion of medium vegetation by 581.52 ha inside a brief time frame, which may
bring about the serious impacts to various aspects of the environment.
