Abstract


Land use-land cover study is vital as it deals with how people are using the land. Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) are well accepted and more dependable advance techniques to detect change in land use and land cover pattern by providing more reliable direct quantitative information. Therefore in the present study an attempt is made on Solapur district to bring out the quantitative information through the study of satellite imageries purchased in the department and those freely available at Global Land Cover Forecasting (GLCF) site.

*2016 Journal Impact Factor was established by dividing the number of articles published in 2014 and 2015 with the number of times they are cited in 2016 based on Google Scholar, Google Search and the Microsoft Academic Search. If ‘A’ is the total number of articles published in 2014 and 2015, and ‘B’ is the number of times these articles were cited in indexed publications during 2016 then, journal impact factor = A/B.
