STUDY AREA
The influence of spatial resolution in assessing the landscape dynamics through spatial metrics has been done considering multi-resolution remote sensing data for the sample space - northern part of Greater Bangalore. Greater Bangalore is the capital city of the state of Karnataka, India and the hub of administrative, cultural, commercial, industrial, and knowledge activities. The spatial extent of Greater Bangalore is about 741 sq. km. and lies between the latitudes 12°39’00’’ to 13°13’00’’ N and longitude 77°22’00’’ to 77°52’00’’ E. It is the fifth largest metropolis in India currently with a population of about 8 million (Ramachandra and Kumar, 2008). The Sample space chosen for the study consists of representative fractions of all land use types.
