5. Method for Detection of land use
•For the land-use change detection, post-classification
comparison change detection method is applied.
•It requires rectification and classification of each remotely
sensed image.
•A change detection matrix is used to compare the resulting
maps on a pixel-by-pixel after the classification of each image
separately.

Method

• In this method we classify images of the same place over two different time and
then compare them pixel by pixel to detect the change

7. Processing Procedures
• Data collection
• Data preparation
• Image classification
• Analysis
• Preparation of change detection maps
These applications were carried out using ERDAS imagine
and Arc Map software 7

17. Conclusion
• Urbanization can change the land use patterns and alter the landscape.
• The changes in land use of Tehsil Sargodha during the last 24 years indicate that
there is 17.4% increase in urban area and 6.5% in bare land. Overall change in
category of water is -16.4% and -7.5% in agricultural land.
• Several problems arise due to urban sprawl such as traffic conjunction, urban slums,
environmental degradations, climate change, poor water and air quality and land
use/and cover changes.
• Therefore, it is suggested that separate detailed studies should be taken up regarding
these problems.
