Write a case study on Land as a resource
Answers
Answer:
INTRODUCTION
Land is precious source of natural resources; land is important factor of production. The introduction of sustainable development has an impact on land use/ land cover, playing an important role in natural resource management. Land is the prime and a vital resource for man. Since, the beginning of human existence, man has directed his activities with reference to earth resource, and he know how to use these resource for own benefit. The proper utilization and management of land is a matter of utmost concern to the people, improper use of land has created so many problems like land degradation, Soil erosion resulted decline in other productivity. Therefore, optimum utilization and strategic management of land resources, according to its capability in a planned is essential. Land and water both are basic elements of our life; land resource management is the process, managing the use and development in both urban and rural setting of land resources. In today’s life, due to population explosion there is a massive demand of land for resources is imperative to understand the consequences of man-made initiatives and natural effected of environmental land cover things each and everything and there developing planning.
The urban land is compound system of human and nature. It is also high dense geographical synthesis of population, environmental and social economic resource. Report is described, unplanned industrialization, urbanization and its consequence adversely affect the regional environment. So the two words– land use/ land covers have important significance in regard to land. Land cover implies the physical a natural state of the earth’s surface. On the other hand land use is the manner in which human beings activities. This urban development is strictly depends upon land use/ land cover of the area. It is important to distinguish the difference between land cover and land use, and the information, that can be ascertained from each. Remotely sensed data provides valuable and spatial information on natural resources and physical terrain parameters (Chowdary et al 2009). The main research is to apply image processing and pattern recognition to LANDSAT-TM and IRS LISS III satellite image data to drive various land development and management. Erdas Imagine 9.3 software was used for image processing. The classification scheme being using modeled after the India geological Survey system for use with remote sensing data (NRSC 1989, land use/land cover classification system).Geo informatics use in the land resource management has proved to be an indispensable management. The main aims of the study are as follow below-
Making land resource management system for sustainable development at micro watershed level.
To identify the prioritized area for land use/ land cover
To develop a local specific micro watershed action plan and non-action plan considering land and forest resources for optimal
To suggested the agricultural land development, scrub afforestation land development, water bodies or their channels development measure for micro watershed on a their weather climate land terrain all effect
To identify the integrated of groundwater potential
