Abstract :

Remote-sensing system provides a repetitive and consistent view of the Earth facilitating the ability to monitor the natural recourse and the effects of human activities on the Earth. In the present study purpose two satellite imageries (LANDSAT and Google Earth) were used. The parameter settlements were detected by polygon tool of digitization and Roads were digitized with polyline tool. The rural settlement status in the year 2001 was 0.717 sq km which has increased upto 2.123 sq km in year 2013. The road network of the Ratanpur area is still is under consideration, the village road was 19.0 km. in 2001 and 19.0 km. in 2013. The mud road in year 2013 was calculated 24.7 km. which has decreased up to 16.75 km. in year 2013. The result of the study shows the significance change in settlement and road network of the Ratanpur.
