But necessary as the land factor may be, man play an important role in conditioning and transforming his physical environment (Barlowe,R.1963). Man uses land within several frameworks, i.e. physical, social and economic, often operate together. The land utility differs depending upon the soil, topography, climate and water resources. Therefore the agriculture activities of man are restricted on the land surface. This paper is devoted to the study of spatio-temporal analysis of general land use of Sangli district. The general land use pattern has been classified as net sown area, land not available for cultivation, cultivable waste land, fallow land and forest cover. The data obtained for the period of 1981-82 to 2005-06 from socio-econonic review and district statistical Abstracts and District census Handbook of Sangli, converted in to the percentage to the total geographic area. To avoid the fluctuation, five years data is averaged and used for analysis. The percentage is categoriesed in different groups. The volume of change of these categories for twenty five years was computed and volume of change was shown in above mentioned figures and interpreted the text. The analysis gives the proper understanding of the general land use and relevant aspects providing the base for further investigation< | | Keywords : | | |
