Mamata Ranot, D. P. Sharma

Abstract :

 The present investigation entitled, “Appraisal of land use change using Remote Sensing technique” were carried out in Nauni campus of Dr .Y.S. Parmar University, Nauni, Solan located at 300 51’ N and 760 11’ E with an altitude of 1250m above mean sea level in Himachal Pradesh to study land use change from 1998 to 2008 in the university campus. The area was classified into main six land use categories such as Culturable, Unculturable, Ban oak, Broadleaved, Chirpine and Habitation with overall classification accuracy of 65 and 71 % for 1998 and 2008, respectively. The area under Culturable, Banoak and Habitation has been found to increase by 183.33 %, 440 % and 215 %, respectively from 1998 to 2008 whereas Unculturable, Broadleaved and Chirpine categories reported decrease in area by 25.29 %, 16.51 % and 7.41 %, respectively from 1998 to 2008.
