aspects of urbanization. Land use and land cover changes can be considered as a result beginning dynamic humanof human exploitation of natural resources
technologies can help for mapping and monitoring of land use and land cover changes in various scales to evaluate the impacts of these changes. However, in this case we can use the capacity of remote sensing to analyze and evaluate of land use and land cover changes in large areas at economical costs (Parece and Campbell, 2015). Remote sensing and Geographic information systems (GIS) are well-established information technologies have performed in land and natural resources management is now widely recognized
development reflects the view that land is a resource that must be preserved for future generation. There has been an increasing demand on land and its resources for shelter, food, better living conditions and an improved market economy. Land is the basic source of material wealth and a commodity that is always affected by the forces of demand and supply so it has a crucial importance and requires effective administration and management to support sustainable development [1]. Land administration systems are
production approaches aiming to maintaining sustainable production and at the same time minimizing the ecological impact of agriculture practices. Although the primary role of agriculture is to produce food and fiber, many other functions, such as land conservation, maintenance of landscape structure, sustainable management of natural resources, preservation of biodiversity, and offering to the economic viability of rural areas are also important (Boody et al. 2005). This multifunctional role of
ecosystem. Since forest is so vital for the sustenance of the ecosystem to which we belong, it is becoming very important to understand the state of forest under different scenarios. Land cover is a fundamental variable that affects the ecological system. So here change in land cover and its impact with the climatic changes have to be considered to know more about forest classifications. The forest types are classified from the multi temporal RISAT-1 Horizontal-Horizontal (HH) and Horizontal-Vertical
The Land Acquisition Act (LAA) 1894 had provided grounds for all government acquisition of land for public purposes. The first land acquisition law was accomplished in 1824 during the British raj; this law underwent several changes and evolved as LAA in 1894. After Independence the Government of India adopted LAA 1894. The law was placed in the concurrent list i.e., both Centre and State could make laws governing land acquisition. However, in case of a conflict between the central and state law
do work. Various works exist on the farm. For example, land clearing, land preparation for planting, crop planting and crop harvesting. Machines are now used to carry out these works on the farm. The use of machines make such works less tasking and farmers then find farm works interesting and pleasant to do. Agricultural mechanization is a special field of Agricultural Engineering. It is a way of improving farming operations through the use of machines, equipment and structures to enhance productivity
Demand explains relationship between the level of consumption and the causal factors influencing consumption (such as instance income, tastes, price and price of substitutes). Recreation (in the case of the article ‘Countryside recreation provision in England: exploring a demand-led approach’ (Curry, N. Ravenscroft, N. 2000)) is normally free at the time of consumption so as a result of no price being present to relate to consumption, no clear demand relationship can be directly established. Because
Chapter Five: A Case Study of Fiji For the Fijian community, their land is an extension of themselves. It is part of the Fijian soul, and the concept of the "vanua"-the land and the people-lies at the heart of Fijian identity. Land represents life and sustenance, race and culture, and Fijians cling fiercely to their ownership of it.'(Ratu Mosese Volavola) To understand the land tenure system and rural development in Fiji, it is important that one is aware of a brief background of the tenure system
George Perkins Marsh’s (1864) historical effort to discuss the relationship between man and nature deserves a special reference in the study of world environmental movement. Rachel Carson’s (1965) Silent Spring seems to be the most popular text on ecology ever published in human history. It presented the negative impact of pesticides and insecticides on environment. Gorz, Andre (1980) presents the view that ecology constitutes an integral part of politics. Shiva Vandana (1988) has tried to look at
