Land use classification and change detection of Bastar district, Chhattisgarh state, India by using GIS and remote sensing techniques

Change detection is one of the landscape ecological objectives to prepare land use land cover. Change detections were performed by using remote sensing and GIS techniques. The study has been done through multitemporal satellite data set by LISS-III Multispectral scanner (MSS), LISS-III (2005 and 2015) matching topographic map. The land use and land cover classification maps were prepared through remote sensing and GIS technology. Ground truth was also performed to check the accuracy of the land classification. There was a significant change in land use and their dynamics. Built up urban (201.07%), rural (2156.23%), agricultural plantation (22.20%), cropland (22.79%) and barren/unculturable/wastelands/sandy area (300.00%) were increased in land use of 2015 as compared to 2005. Similarly agricultural fallow, deciduous forest, forest scrub and barren/unculturable/wastelands scrubland were negative as like -74.43%, -15.23%, -43.23% and -38.10%, respectively. The highest positive change was observed in built up rural area (2156.23%), whereas the lowest change in water body (4.93%)
