Forest Cover Change Detection Analysis in the Eastern Ghats of Tamil Nadu, India - a Remote Sensing and GIS Approach

국문 초록 (Abstract)

대축척(1:50,000)지도의 산림 정보는 산림지역 보호에 중요한 자료로 이용된다. 그러나 대상지역인 인도 Tamil Nadu의 Eastern Ghats(EG) 지역에는 대축척 지도를 사용할 수 없기 때문에 위성 데이터를 이용한 산림의 변화 탐지를 적용하여 분석하였다. 대상지역의 1990년과 2003년의 산림의 변화에 대한 연구 결과 약 10가지의 산림 종류가 관측되었으며 가장 변화가 큰 지역은 상록수와 낙엽수지역에서 관측되었다.

Information on forest type and cover density status of the present and past on large scale (1:50,000) is very much needed for conservation of any forest region. Such large-scale maps are not available for the Eastern Ghats (EG) of Tamil Nadu. This study deals with the preparation of forest type and cover density map of EG of Tamil Nadu during 2003 and the changes it has undergone between 1990 and 2003 using appropriate satellite data. About 10 forest types have been identified and mapped. Major changes have been observed in the forest types such as evergreen, and deciduous.
