Land use and land-cover changes have impacts on a wide range of environmental and landscape attributes including the quality of water, land and air resources, ecosystem processes and function. This paper concentrates on spatial pattern of land use land cover in seven taluks of the Haveri district using satellite imagery of LISS IV 2014. The paper concludes that, in the total geographical area majority of the land is used for agriculture i.e. 74.93%. The area under forest is 9.88%, it is followed by built up area is 8.02%,waste land 3.6%,land used for other perposes is 3.31% and hardly 0.3% of the area is under water bodies in the district. If you compare the stastics of the earlier records it shows that, built up area, agriculture area is increasing whereas area under forest, water bodies , waste land and water bodies are decreasing. | | Keywords : | | |
