The land use and land cover of Chiplun tehsil were determined by using the Landsat images of 20, 30 and 40 m resolution, downloaded from GLCF-data imaginary via FTP server by selecting suitable path and row values on Google. The entire area of Chiplun tehsil was classified under the various land use and land cover classes such as water bodies, barren land, forest, settlement and agriculture land covering the area of 8.81, 250.98, 346.47, 26.06 and 487.32 km2, respectively. Total area for this classification was found to be 1119.64 km2 with Arc GIS 10.3 software with the per cent error of 0.02 per cent compared to actual area of Chiplun tehsil.

Abstract


The land use and land cover of Chiplun tehsil were determined by using the Landsat images of 20, 30 and 40 m resolution, downloaded from GLCF-data imaginary via FTP server by selecting suitable path and row values on Google. The entire area of Chiplun tehsil was classified under the various land use and land cover classes such as water bodies, barren land, forest, settlement and agriculture land covering the area of 8.81, 250.98, 346.47, 26.06 and 487.32 km2, respectively. Total area for this classification was found to be 1119.64 km2 with Arc GIS 10.3 software with the per cent error of 0.02 per cent compared to actual area of Chiplun tehsil.
