Abstract

This study mainly focusses on changes of land use land cover (LULC) in Bandipur National Park in 2001, 2011and 2019. Methodology have been used for LULC analysis, downloaded satellite imageries of Landsat 8 (OLI) for 2019, Landsat (ETM+) for 2001, and Landsat 4-5 (TM) for 2011. with the help of Geoinformatics tools clipped the area with 5 km buffer in context to our study area and processed it with supervised classification of water, dense forest, open forest, urban, agriculture, current fallow to get LULC map for the study area. In three decades, areawise changes noticed in LULC analysis revealed the open forest is more than the dense forest as it is getting decreased. The area under water is also getting decreased in the past two decades. The total area under cultivation i.e., areas under agriculture and horticulture have increasing. And the urban is increasing in the Bandipur National Park (BNP) by 1% in all the three decadal period.

Keywords: Land Use Land Cover (LULC); Bandipur National Park (BNP); Landsat
