Description Thesis titled “Analysis of Landuse and Landcover Data for Giridih District of Jharkhand to Identify a New Industrial Zone using Remote Sensing and Gis Techniques” was submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering by Ahmed Mohamed Ahmed Abushnaf.
Site selection is a critical decision made by private and public owners that affects a wide range of
activities ranging from land use planning to sitting of industrial facilities. As such, industrial site
location analysis is a big business, whether measured in terms of amounts invested, decisionmakers
involved, employees affected, or the economies of the area influenced. Determining
facilities locations is critical to the success and failure of such investments. The advanced space
technology known as geospatial technology is a perfect tool to come out with site location . In
the present study, identification of suitable site for industry establishment in Giridih district of
Jharkhand, India is one of the evidence of Geospatial technology for mankind development.
satellite landsat-7 ETM+ data has been used to find out land use land cover, geomorphology,
ground water mapping of the study area. However road maps, river map, rail of the study area
were extracted from satellite data, Survey of India (SOI) topographic map on 1: 50,000 scale.
Land use Land cover mapping, geomorphology mapping, Groundwater mapping, slope mapping,
road and rail network, and river mapping was done using on screen visual interpretation of
landsat-7 ETM+ data. Attribute is given to all the classes. Each class in spatial layers is assigned
with weighed value 1 to 10 based on the relative importance to suitability. After that all thematic
vector layers were integrated and introduced in to overlaying and weightage analysis to carry out
Point allocation approach using Boolean logic approach using Multi decision criteria mapping
using Arc GIS 9.3 to target potential sites for Industrial development. The sum of Weightage of
spatial layers using weighted overlay analysis, the result have been classified as high, medium,
low and not suitable
Ranking (order of priority) was done based on the knowledge of study area to select the best sites
for industry development. Outcome generated through the GIS analysis shows that 160.85 km2
areas are highly suitable, 407.85 km2 areas is moderately suitable, 4398.30 km2 area is less
suitable for industry development.
Remote sensing data analysis in this study has helped to derive quantitative information on
spatial and temporal relationships of land use/land cover and its potential sites for industry
development. A multi criteria approach was employed in conjunction with GIS-based overlay
analysis to identify the new industrial zone.
