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.

8. Aspen Woods Transportation
• Past the community parking garage, no vehicles are permitted due to the
inefficiency of the amount of gasoline used
• To replace cars as transportation within the community, a BIXI ™ bike
station is located at the entrance to the neighbourhood, with three other
stations located within the community
• In order to encourage our residents to walk within the subdivision, eco-
friendly path lights are placed along the paths, and will remain lit for the
duration of “dark hours” depending on the time of year
• Each resident is allotted one parking space within the garage that is
subject to a monthly fee throughout the year
• Residents that own hybrid vehicles or electric cars will be given spaces on
an upper level of the garage, where the parking fee does not apply and
proper methods of charging the cars are available
• Extra parking spaces may be purchased at the beginning of each year with
the limit being two total parking spaces per household and the monthly
fee will double
9. Aspen Woods Green Space
• All flora planted on Aspen Woods property must be cleared by the
neighbourhood board, and typically must be a native species in order to
maintain biodiversity
• Within the four sections of the community, neighbourhood plots will be
established in order to encourage residents to grow some of their own
food
• Composts must be present in the garden of each home to promote healthy
soil to maximize the growth of wildlife
• Common areas will also be located in the park with playground equipment
and picnic benches
• Greenway™ lights will line all the paths and major areas inside the park
during the night, and gain energy from solar power during the day
• Pesticides are not allowed in any of the gardens inside Aspen Woods, and
all fertilizers must be cleared by the board to ensure that they do not
contain harmful chemicals
• Hiking paths and trails go through the community nature preserve and
encircle it to promote walking and biking
10. An outline of the creative technology used to maintain a
healthy environment
11. The BIXI™ System
• BICYCLE + TAXI = BIXI
• This system is known to utilize cutting-edge technology to
provide residents with an efficient, simple method for
transportation within the community
• This method of transportation is known for having a reduced
impact on the environment and is convenient for all
residents
• Research has shown that bike riders take in 40% less
pollutants than people who drive
• Additionally, it has been shown that 500-700 calories are
burned every hour of biking and regular exercise on a bike is
known to lower cholesterol levels
• Within Aspen Woods, the BIXI™ system will not function with
the traditional universal keys, but instead each resident will
receive a key upon request without payment
12. Energy Star Appliances
• In order to lower energy usage within Aspen Woods, common appliances
will be provide to residents upon purchase of a home
• Energy Star homes are at minimum, 15% more energy efficient than
homes modeled after 2004 International Residence Code
• The energy-saving features of home appliances, and heating and cooling
systems create homes that are typically 20-30% more efficient than the
average home
• Important aspects of Energy Star homes include:
o Effective insulation
o High-performance windows
o Tight construction and ducts
o Efficient heating and cooling equipment
o Efficient products
o Third-party verification
• Rebates are available to homes that make a concious effort to reduce
their energy usage beyond the average home within Aspen Woods
13. RAINXCHANGE™ Water Collection
Systems
• Each Aspen Woods household will be equipped with a
packaged rain collection system in order to reduce the
amounts of water that the community uses
• Residents will be given a choice for the style of their pre-
packaged water collection systems, which will allow for
aesthetic benefits to the collection as well as environmental
• Rainwater harvesting is known as beneficial to wildlife
because it provides more nutrients and removes chemicals
from the water
• Usage of rainwater also is known to reduce fertilizer use,
which is another benefit to the environment
• Because Aspen Woods utilizes a management-operated
sprinkler system to restrict the amount of water used in the
neighbourhood’s green space, rainwater harvesting allows
residents to distribute rainwater at their discretion
14. A summary of small changes in normal routines to cut down
energy and water use, and waste production
15. Building Materials
• Using recycled-content materials reduces waste going to landfills, reduces manufacturing
waste and pollution, and reduces energy consumption
• Eco-friendly buildings eliminate many problems with the average modern construction
because “green” homes have good ventilation, breathable walls, and utilize natural,
non-toxic products and materials
• Tradical® Hemcrete®, produced by Lime Technology, is a cutting-edge form of eco-
friendly building that is “a negative carbon bio-composite product comprised of hemp
and a lime based binder” that exhibits efficient thermal properties for comfortable
buildings
• This type of eco-friendly building material helps to achieve a lower carbon dioxide
footprint and contributes to forming a sustainable low carbon built environment
• Green roofing is an option to Aspen Woods residents, in which vegetation is incorporated
onto the roof, allowing for:
o Manageable storm-water runoff
o Increased energy efficiency
o Improved air quality
• Residents who choose to install a vegetated roof will also receive a rebate on property
taxes due to their efforts
• Other options for sustainable roofing are available to homeowners without going as far as
a vegetated roof, such as the Enviroshake® reclaimed materials roof
16. Saving Energy
• In addition to the utilization of Star Energy appliances,
landscaping for each lot will include the positioning of trees
on the sides of each home in order to reduce air conditioning
usage
• Households that make efforts to reduce the amount of
energy that they are consuming will be recognized by the
board, and will receive rebates on property tax
• Homes that also use other methods of saving energy, such as
growing some of their own food, or using electric vehicles
will also receive rebates for their efforts
• All homes that are designated as Energy Star homes will
receive government rebates
• Households that convert to alternative forms of energy,
frequently solar power, will also receive rebates for their
efforts
17. Solar Energy Panels
• All community buildings, including the parking garage
and shops outside the community’s entrance will be
powered by solar energy
• Households that choose to convert their energy source
to solar energy will receive rebates and can conduct
their conversion with the aid of the Aspen Woods board
• Energy Star residential wind turbines will also be used
within the community, and are applicable to rebates
• Residential fuel cells produced by Energy Star are also
accepted as a method to reduce energy consumption if
they have a rate of efficiency that is at least 30%
• Solar energy panels may also be used as water heaters
18. Reasons to Move to Aspen Woods
