LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

The steps include: 1) opening an existing BI report and exporting the XML data file, 2) creating an RTF template in Word using the XML file, and 3) uploading the RTF template to replace an existing report layout. The template allows adding data fields, tables, and other formatting features to design the report layout.
A JMP dashboard combines JMP data tables and graphs for data exploration and analysis. It allows users to select data and perform analyses without scripting. Key features of the JMP Dashboard Builder include templates for building dashboards, drag-and-drop tools for arranging reports, and containers for organizing dashboard elements. Dashboards can contain reports, data filters, data tables, images, and text boxes.
There are three ways to create a new database in Domino: using a template, copying an existing database, or starting from scratch in Domino Designer. When starting from scratch in Domino Designer, the user creates a blank database with no pre-existing design elements and must build out the application by adding pages, forms, fields, and other elements. Database properties like the launch options and encryption can be configured. Forms and pages are used to display information to users and can include various elements like text, graphics, tables, and more. Fields are used to collect and store user-entered data on forms.
Microsoft Access is a relational database management system used to store and manipulate data. It has a number of key components including tables, queries, forms, reports, macros and modules. Tables are used to store data in rows and columns, while queries are used to manipulate and retrieve data. Forms are used as the interface to add, view and edit data. Reports output data for printing or sharing. Macros automate tasks and modules contain programming code. Relationships link related data across multiple tables. Access supports the SQL query language and uses a .accdb file extension.
This document discusses information management and creating professional reports. It covers gathering data through questionnaires, storing electronic form data, importing data into Excel and Access, and report structure. The main points are:
1) Gathering data is the first step, using questionnaires to collect relevant information. Electronic forms can be created in Word with form fields to store data electronically.
2) Data from multiple electronic forms can be combined and imported into Excel or Access for further analysis.
3) A professional report includes an introduction, main body with analysis, and conclusions supported by the discussion. Spreadsheets and databases can be used to analyze data and include graphs and statistics in the report.
The document provides an introduction and overview of databases. It defines what a database is, distinguishes between data and information, and explains the purpose of database systems. It describes different types of databases, considerations for selecting a database management system, and key database concepts such as fields, records, tables, and relationships. The document also discusses quality control and includes an agenda for hands-on practice with database concepts and functions in Microsoft Access.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

1a Design: Data Source – Mock Up Report (Offline)
• This step in the process can occur before the bulk of the work is done, or it can follow the
creation of the query, or it can even be done as the template is being formulated.
• The mockup can be derived from an existing document such as a report or piece of
correspondence.
• Once a template has been finalized it can be copied, altered and adapted for use with the
same query or a similar query.
• The report being created through this tutorial is a document listing Countries using the
data you will see on the SFIS Blog Page BI Publisher/ XMLP named BI Publisher Template

2a Download Sample Data (XML File)
• Once you have registered the query as your Data Source, you need to save the Sample Data File
so you can utilize it to create the BI Publisher Template. The Sample Data File, as you can see,
has an extension of XML. This XML file will provide you with placeholders to work out the
formatting and other details of the template.
Oracle Definition of Sample Data File:
The sample data file is an XML file with sample data that is used for data mapping, template
preview, and determining burst fields. Preview action is available within a desktop template
designer or from within the report definition page. For PS Query and Connected Query data source
types the sample data file can be system-generated or uploaded. For XML file data source type,
the sample data file must be uploaded.
• To view the XML File, click on the link containing the name of the file.
o The browser appears and displays the XML file data. You do not need to do anything
with this file except to save it.

• “Which grouping field do you want to report on?” This page opens with a dropdown box for
the Data Set. An XML document can contain many data sets. This file only contains one, so you
can click Next again. (You can read more about Data Sets by clicking on the Help button.)
• Drag over the five query fields so the page look like this:
• Note that the Expression field has a name of Expr5 5. If there were a number of expression
fields in your query, it would be a good idea to give them more easily identifiable names while
still in Query. This would make them simpler to work with in the template. However, since
there is just one expression field here, that is not necessary.

PeopleTools 8.52, BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1
BI Publisher Tutorial - Lesson 1.docx Page 12 of 33
• You’ll see there’s no change for the Descr field label. This is because that label is going to be
removed from the template. Click Finish.
• The table template opens:
• This is a brief explanation of the codes you see that have been added through the Table Wizard:
o group row by EXPR5_5 – indicates the beginning of the grouping as well as the order
o F - “for-each” code to designate the start of each row (before the first field in the row,
DESCR) as well as the order
o E – (after the last field in the row, EU_MEMBER_STATE) at the end of each row, to
indicate the row is closed
o end row by EXPR5_5 – designates the end of each grouping
o The technical information that underlies the code can be seen by double-clicking on the
phrase or letter.
2c Preview and Tweak Until Complete (Offline)
• At this point, it’s a good idea to run a preview to get an idea of how this report will look. (This is
something you should do on a regular basis as you refine your template.)
• Click on Add-Ins and then the Preview menu. You will be viewing the preview as a PDF file, so
select PDF.

• If you have not already saved the file as an RTF, the first time you choose to run a Preview, you
will receive this message:
• Click OK. And you will be taken to Windows Explorer where you can save the document as an
RTF file. In this example the file is named BI Tutorial Country 1.rtf. This is the file that will
ultimately be your final report.
• You can now run the PDF Preview which will appear similar to the following:
• Since the XML file is sample data, until you associate the Template with the Report Definition, it
will appear as shown here. In Lesson 2, when you have a clearer understanding of how the BI
Publisher process works from beginning to end, you will be introduced to an advanced method
that places real data on the template you are editing.
• You can begin formatting the table by changing the width of each column. Starting with the last
column, make all except the first column narrower.
• Delete the “DESCR” label (not the DESCR field) from the blue label box.
• Move the EXPR5_5 field into the blue label cell.
o Note: Since the cell you are placing the EXPR5_5 field into is a label cell, the EXPR5_5
field is still above and outside of the row.
• Using MS Word tools, change the font type and size of the EXPR5_5 field and make it bold. In
this example, it is set at Times New Roman, Bold, 14. The template should look like this:

• Under the General Section, In the Data field dropdown, select the field EU_MEMBER_STATE.
You will recall that this is a Yes/No field and that the information contained is either a “Y” or an
“N.” We will first format the rows for countries that have a “Y” in that field. This portion of the
menu should appear as follows:
• For the right-hand field, change Number to Date/Text.
• Check the box to indicate you wish the format to Apply to Entire Table Row.
• In the next section, Condition 1, select from the Data field dropdown Equal to. The field to the
right is also a dropdown box with a list of fields. You can also make an entry that is not in the
list. In this case, type in “Y” (no quotes). You’ll note that when you do, the Preview box opens
with Text in red on a white background, and the Format button is no longer grayed out.

• The entire menu should appear as follows:
• Click OK to save these changes.
• The Template now has an addition at the front of the row, the letter C before the F DESCR
indicating there is Conditional Formatting starting at that point for the row:
• If need to edit the conditional format, you can double-click the “C” and the menu will open.
• You can run a Preview, but you will not see these changes.
o Since this is sample data, and since this formatting is conditional, you won’t see it in
effect until the Template is associated with the Report Definition, i.e., the actual live
data.
• You should Save the Template at this time .
2d Set up Report Definition – Associate Data Source and Template
• In this step we relate the recently saved Template with the Data Source in PeopleSoft. Until
this point, there is no direct connection between them.
