LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
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.

Evaluation Question 4
- 1. QUESTION 4 WHO WOULD BE THE AUDIENCE FOR YOUR MEDIA PRODUCT?
- 2. The film rating for our film is 15+ this is because we think that our film has an element and theme of domestic abuse, but this isn't shown throughout actual cuts, it is instead suggested through acting. We think that our audience is young adults aged 15 - 25. This is because we feel that our film unravels the sensitive topic of domestic abuse that young people may feel that it's a taboo topic to discuss.
- 3. We want to help push our audience to bring to light the domestic violence that they may be currently going through. Domestic violence is very common than most people think, it is reported that an estimate of 635,000 domestic incidents occurs in the UK. Every minute Police receive a call for domestic assistance, however only 35% of domestic violence is reported. We understand that domestic violence is a problem that needs to be discussed in order to resolve it. Not only by women but men too, it is found that 19% of men are victims of domestic abuse. Yet again this percentile is only of men, which had reported the crime. Men who are victims of domestic abuse may not report it due to their social desirability and society's expectations, which could be influenced by what is shown and represented of the how a man should act on TV.
- 4. Films such as ‘Murdered By My Boyfriend’, which was shown on BBC3 as a TV Film, has many similarities to our thriller. Both films showcase the dangers of domestic abuse, even though it isn’t implicitly shown in our thriller opening it s implied and suggested. Another film that is similar to our thriller is ‘Sleeping With The Enemy’, an early 90’s film. Like our thriller both of the mentioned films have an aggressive antagonist, and a submissive, vulnerable protagonist. Excluding ‘Murdered By My Boyfriend’, these films have a protagonist who is seen as the victim but rises to be the heroine by the end of the film.
