Rapid industrialization and development activities are leading to drastic changes in the land use land
cover of various areas across the world and identifying the changes for better management of existing
resources and development of infrastructural facilities within short period is need of the hour. Digital
change detection techniques by using multi-temporal satellite imagery helps in understanding
landscape dynamics.The present study illustrates the spatio-temporal dynamics of land use/cover of
Shamshabad region of Hyderabad, Telangana, India. High resolution Satellite imageries of two
different time periods, i.e., 2005 and 2012 were acquired and identified the changes in the
Shamshabad region from 2005 to 2012 over a period of 7 years. Detailed mapping of different classes
has been performed to and identified the changes with respect to few important calsses. The images of
the study area were categorized into Six different classes namely
Waterbodies,Settlements,Agriculture, Open area, Residential, Industry. The results indicate that
during the period under consideration,there is a drastic decrease in the agricultural land and Increase
in water bodies, Settlements, Industries has been very sharp. The paper highlights the importance of
digital change detection techniques for nature and location of change of the Shamshabad region. It
also emphasizes how modern geospatial techniques like Remote Sensing and GIS could be effectively
used to detect the LULC changes at the earliest and take necessary measures.

Keywords: Land Use Land Cover, Remote Sensing, GIS.

In view of the significant importance of wetlands in the ecosystem and regional economy, an attempt
has been made to analyze the impact of land use / land cover dynamics and other contributing factors
on spatial status of Gurupura river basin wetland ecosystem located in Karnataka region. The impact
assessment has been carried out by analyzing the multi-temporal changes in the storage capacities of
wetlands in the watershed, by using remote sensing data of LISS - III. The multi-temporal land use /
land cover statistics will reveal the significant changes that have taken place over time in the
watershed. The runoff generated can be easily calculated from this information which gives an idea of
the total input into the system. In response to these upstream watershed changes, wetland has
exhibited changes in spatial extension, structure and hydrological characteristics. As a consequence of
continuously changing land use / land cover characteristics and unpredictability of the monsoon the
wet land ecosystems have exhibited considerable changes in spatial extent and their storage
capacities. Overall there has been a degradation in the storage capacities of the wetland ecosystems of
the region causing a multitude of adverse effects such as increase in floods and submergence of
mainland etc.

Keywords: Remote Sensing, wetland ecosystems, land use / land cover
