Alteration of land cover takes place dramatically because of great forces of natural calamities.
Qualitative and quantitative information about these changes are useful for sustainable management
of natural resources. Especially coastal areas are prone to land coverage changes due to many
reasons, among which natural calamities rank as one of the major factor. Odisha, being located in
Eastern part of India, covering 480 km coastal tract is very susceptible to frequent natural catastrophes
like cyclone and super cyclone. In this paper, land cover change dynamics were investigated by
the combined use of satellite remote sensing and geographical information systems. The main
objective of the study was to determine land-cover changes among land cover types in coastal areas
of Kendrapara. Landsat ETM+ images of the year 2000 and 2006 were used to gather land cover
change data of the coastal belt of Kendrapara district, Odisha. The images were classified using
unsupervised classification and a post-classification comparison approach was used in change
detection. The results show increase in agricultural areas and other vegetated areas but decrease
in water bodies and soil and barren areas.
