Rita Basanna, A. K. Wodeyar . Supervised Classification for LULC Change Analysis. International Journal of Computer Applications. 66, 21 ( March 2013), 24-26. DOI=10.5120/11241-6438
Spatial distribution of Land use / Land cover information and its change is desirable for any planning, management and monitoring programmers at local, regional and national levels. The classification system by National Remote Sensing Agency India (NRSA) is taken as base model for this research work. The methodology involves the supervised classification with the help of ERDAS Imagine 10. 0 software. Pan+LissIII satellite data for 2000 and 2011 years has been used for LULC classification. The result shows that Belgaum city has experienced urban growth and in the last decade this has caused a rapid loss of vegetated area and wasteland. These changes in LULC have occurred mostly, with the conversion of cropland and built-up area to low density urban use.
