ABSTRACT: In this project, we studied land use and land cover classification of Nirmal
Mandal, Adilabad district, Telenagna state by using Geographical Information
system and Remote sensing techniques. LISS-IV satellite image resolution 5 m
× 5 m provides quality information for identification of Land use/Land cover
characteristics. The image accuracy shows 45.70% of Agricultural land, 9.10%
Built-up land, Forest area is 7.90%, Barren land have 7.60% and Uncultivated
land occupied 29.70%. National land use and land cover mapping report
based on 5 divisions classified in the study area. The area land use and land
cover classification provide reliable data to understand land, water, soil, forests,
urban sprawl. This socio economic survey significantly shows the
changes that so far have taken place. This will help the people/farmers for the
future land use and land cover change detection. Regular monitoring of agriculture,
forest and greening efforts for plantation at suitable area, schemes and
limitations. Free ware browsing of land cover gives sufficient development to
plenty resource.
