15 th Esri India User Conference 2014 Page 1 of 7 Temporal Analysis of Land use Pattern Changes of Noida, NCR Using Geospatial Tools Noyingbeni Kikon & Prafull Singh Amity Institute of Geo-informatics and Remote Sensing Amity University, Sector-125, Noida, India Abstract: Land use and land cover changes due to fast growing cities over short time are very major environmental issues for developing countries. The change analysis of various land use pattern within the city are very important factor for proper management so decision makers and planners to take an effective measures. Satellite based earth observation and monitoring is very scientific and effective tool to detect and monitor land use changes. In the present work an attempt has been made to analyze the temporal land use pattern changes for major land use classes of Noida, which is one the fast growing city of North Central Region (NCR) by using multi temporal satellite data of Landsat. Spatio-temporal assessment of land use pattern for the year 2010 and 2013 were analyzed using ARC GIS and ENVI softǁaƌe’s. The ƌesults shoǁ the ƌates of ĐhaŶges aƌe high iŶ terms of conversion of open land into built-up land and increase of built- up area within four years. It is also observed that the surface water bodies are reduced quantitatively and qualitatively both. The results observed from the classification of low resolution satellite images are very important primary level quantification of land use pattern and changes in the area. It is also recommended that the area needed a detail land use planning based on very fine resolution satellite images for proper assessment of land use pattern for their sustainable utilization. Key Words: Satellite Images, Land use pattern changes, ARC GIS, ENVI and Noida.
