Volume : III, Issue : II, March - 2013 CHANGING LANDUSE OF EAST KOLKATA WETLAND, INDIA SUBHADIP GUPTA DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Degradation of natural resources has been a global problem. Due to rapid
urbanization and industrialization, over-exploitation, and other anthropogenic
activities have resulted to changes in land-use and land cover pattern. Significant landuse/
land cover changes have been reported during the last century both on spatial and
temporal scale, mainly due to economic development and population growth.
Anthropogenic changes in land use and land cover being increasingly recognized as a
critical factor influencing global change. Currently with the growing population
pressure, changing human population-land ratio and increasing land degradation, the
need for optimum utilization of land assumes much greater relevance. Remote sensing
integrated with Geographic Information System (GIS), provides an effective tool for
analysis of land use and land cover. The geospatial technology that combines the
technology of remote sensing and GIS holds the potential for timely and accurate
determination of pace of land degradation due to various anthropogenic and natural
phenomena. These sorts of techniques have been used in the tropics Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : SUBHADIP GUPTA, (2013). CHANGING LANDUSE OF EAST KOLKATA WETLAND, INDIA.
