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.

3. International student accommodation has been
ranked by many international students as their:
• number one priority (ahead of their education)
when they choose to study in Australia
4. International student accommodation seems to have had
more:
• reviews, inquiries, investigations, reports and reruns
• than Gilligans Island and Hogan Heroes combined
Things are very slowly improving as education providers
and the industry come to realise that:
• properly managed standards based
accommodation is the key to marketing Australia as a
safe and welcoming international student destination
5. All of the reviews and inquiries that have occurred
have all ended up with the same conclusion:
• We have to improve how we help International students with
the following:
1. Pre-departure information on appropriate accommodation
2. Education Provider/Industry validated accommodation options
3. Airport reception and welcome
4. Welcoming ‘hosted’ accommodation
5. Orientation and grounding of the student prior to them
needing to make a long term accommodation decision
6. To date Australian Education Providers are one of
the best in the world at advising International
Students about their accommodation options
They are the best because the other countries
in the world fail more than Australia fails
7. Complacency regarding International Student
accommodation is one of the greatest threats to
Australia’s international education growth
Tools and options exist however more
commitment and accountability is required from
both the Education Provider and the industry
8.
9. A new scam emerging
Offshore fraudsters renting out houses that aren’t even
their own
Malaysian based scammer offering property for rent on
trading site Gumtree
Asked to complete application form which had obviously
been filled out before and asked to wire $1750
Actual home owner was not aware that her home was
advertised on Gumtree
The complainant said that Gumtree did not have a
contact telephone number and she had also complained
via email but received no reply
11. The truth is:
• When a new international student is properly welcomed at the
airport through a pre-booked service
• And the airport pickup service confirms with the hosted
accommodation provider that the student is on their way
• And the host welcomes the student into a warm, friendly and
supported home environment
• And the host knows that their job is to settle and to help
culturalise the student as well as to learn to understand the
students best options for the future accommodation
• Then (surprise) the student makes a good decision on their future
accommodation choice and is happy
• And the word of mouth machine promoting Australian as an
international education destination is turned on to fast forward
12. The duty of care issue regarding international student
accommodation appears clear to everyone
◦ but often not the education provider
The reviews, reports and compliance requirements on
International Student Accommodation are consistent and
are clear
◦ but unfortunately not clearly understood
The risk for education providers routinely following
activities of the past without objective review and advice
is large
◦ But WHY IS IT OFTEN IGNORED?
13. Fortunately a group of quality service providers
lead by a globally recognised brand have got
together to help those who will listen meet ‘Global
Best Practice’ for International Education
Partnered Allianz Global Education (PAGE) is
about getting the basics right and back to the
forefront

15. Homestay has come under the most scrutiny over the
past 5 years to the point where there is no doubt about
what homestay minimum standards should be
Unfortunately much of the industry is still in denial over
their homestay obligations to other peoples children
Introducing Dr Stephen Howlett from the University of
Sydney who has championed the development of
appropriate homestay standards and insurance in a
University setting
18. OUR RESEARCH
Aim
An introductory comparative analysis of homestay and education
providers’ qualitative opinion on the issue of homestay insurance
risks, expectations and/or requirements.
Hypothesis
A better understanding of homestay insurance risks and
measures to manage that risk could improve our interpretative
frame for assessing and managing insurance risk in homestay
accommodation and point the way to uniform standards of
practice in homestay.
Research Question
To what extent do you expect and/or require the management
of insurance risk in homestay accommodation for international
students in New South Wales?
19. THE SURVEY
▪ 271 NSW education providers. Around 90% of the CRICOS
register of providers in NSW (DEEWR 2013). 22
‘bounceback’; 1 no longer enrolling international students
▪ 17 homestay providers actively promoting homestay services
in NSW on the Internet. 1 ‘bounceback’
▪ 3 industry associations
▪ Only 14 responses (5%). Holbrook et al (2007) ‘may not
necessarily deliver an inaccurate result’
▪ 6 High Schools
▪ 3 Private ELICOS providers
▪ 3 Homestay providers
▪ 2 University English language centres
20. 9 STANDARDS DEFINE INDUSTRY EXPECTATIONS
Education providers are responsible, so they should drive industry’s expectation of standards:
1. Online portal for monitoring placements by providers, agents, Homestay suppliers hosts and
students - ‘real time’ data and reports.
2. Guardianship for Younger Overseas Students (independent of education and accommodation
provider).
3. Insurance cover for Homestay Supplier, hosts and students, including:
1. Workers compensation, Professional indemnity, Public liability etc. as a service supplier to
the University;
2. Host liability insurance for personal injury, property damage, and advertising liability; and
3. Students householders insurance covering students personal effects, accidental damage
within the host’s home.
4. Training for host families and supporting data to demonstrate the training has taken place.
5. Agreement signed by all host families outlining appropriate policies and the host obligations.
6. Documented and comprehensive student orientation.
7. A student policy - expectations and responsibilities of student, host family and Homestay supplier.
8. 24/7 Emergency and Critical incident phone support strategy.
9. Arrangements for management and accountability of all payments made on behalf of the
student to the Homestay host.
• Similar standards now in place in multiple Australian universities and other education providers
• Now in the NSW International Education and Research Industry Action Plan (International
Education and Research Industry Taskforce 2012, p.10)

Market Context
29. Concerns facing industry
1. Affordable Accommodation – significant shortage of suitable supply
• Lack of approved standards and value for money
• Regulatory uncertainty
2. Consumer Protection – safety and orientation
• Is it safe?
• Who will I be living with?
• Where is it and how do I get to Uni?
• If I can’t get guaranteed accommodation - should I go to Australia or
somewhere else?
3. Education industry – sustainability & legal
• Welfare & Accommodation (Duty of Care) - National Code 2007 (ESOS Act
requirements)
• Improving the Student Experience - enhances student retention
6
33. A national approach to student accommodation is
required that is quality assured
– Consistency
– Standardisation
– Transparency
‘THE PAD’ - Approach

35. Universities Australia
Extend student housing services
The measures to increase the stock of affordable student housing outlined in
section 1 would also support international students. In addition, universities will
expand their student housing services for international students by publishing
information on localities and providers that are suitable for student rental
accommodation, taking account of quality, safety, location and public transport
availability; by maintaining registers of landlords, agents and premises suitable
for international students (Our emphasis added); and by offering mediation
between student tenants and landlords when misunderstandings arise.
