OBJECTIVE

According to the City Development Plan (CDP) of Mysore, which is a 20-year vision document for Mysore, the expansion is significant and there is a 70 per cent increase in the total area of the city since 2001 that would lead to higher degree of urban sprawl. Hence the objectives of this study are to understand and interpret the evolving Landscape dynamics which involves

Temporal analysis of Land cover pattern of Mysore city, taking 3km buffer,

Understanding the spatial patterns of the landscape through temporal land use and using Shannon entropy.
