The availability of high-resolution Indian satellite data from IRS P-6 LISSIV has made a significant impact on the mapping potential of natural and man-made
resources. Land use and land cover change has become a central component in current
strategies for managing natural resources and monitoring anthropogenic changes in the
arid western Rajasthan. High-precision land-use land-cover GIS mapping was carried
out using IRS-P6 LISS-IV-MX data of 2011-12 and information was also generated on
existing land use/land cover with their spatial distribution. The main objectives of the
present study was to interpret satellite data for land use/land cover mapping and to
generate geo-database in GIS format. Ground truthing was also conducted to verify the
doubtful features in the satellite image. Major land use/land cover classes identified in
this area were crop land, forests and plantation, wastelands, drainage, rural and urban
settlements and water body. The study area consist 1451.89 km2 lands and out of which
82.30% area under agriculture land use and only 2.55%, 0.27% and 4.76% were taken up
by the built up land (including hamlets, urban and rural areas), forest and grassland
and grazing land respectively. The study concluded that the LISS-IV is a better source
of data for natural resource mapping over commonly used satellite imagery and can
serve the diverse application of needs of the user communities. This study not only
provides the high-resolution land-use maps for Bilara tehsil, but it also yields accurate
area estimates of different land-use types, in particular with grassland, and crop land.
This enables analysis of potential land availability and suitability for biomass production
and other sustainable land uses.
