Abstract

In the present study, the change monitoring of vegetation cover has been doen for the Bhagwan Birsa Biological Park of Ranchi over a period of 12 years. This involved the classification of land use using ERDAS IMAGINE software IRS LISS II data of 1991 and IRS LISS III data of 1996. The change in different class of forest in the Biological Park’s area in various periods has been analyzed critically for various reasons leading to it. The study demonstrates that Remote Sensed data can be useful for Forest/Wildlife Manager by providing them spatial information of their territory which can be analyzed in short time and at low cost, for various management purposes.
