Objective

The objective of the study includes,

Quantification of spatio-temporal LULC changes in the landscape during the last four decades using multi-resolution remote sensing data;
Assessing the pattern and process of fragmentation through landscape metrics;
Scenario analysis to visualize the growth for year 2020 considering business as usual and development scenarios.
