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.

Tips for the certification examination
Please keep it in your mind that CBAP® is a
test on your knowledge of BABOK®, not your
knowledge on BA practice as you may be
following in your workplace.
Answers need to be as per BABOK®, not
what you may think appropriate.
Questions are pretty much straight forward.
No long descriptive questions. However,
there are questions with diagrams.
No long answers. All questions had single
statement answers.
Avoid answers which are prescriptive.
BABOK® does not provide any specific level
of rigor to be adopted in any activity.
Be careful with answers which say something
should be 100% or 0% - It’s very hard
to find such digital options in life.
24. Mastering CCBA® V3
Adaptive US Inc. Be an IIBA Certified BA in 3 months. Guaranteed. Page 23 of 167
Avoid terms which are not mentioned in
BABOK®. Such a term can be technically
correct, for example a specific company may
have a Wok Breakdown System – however
BABOK® does not have any such term. BABOK®
term is Work breakdown structure.
Multiple options can be technically
correct; choose the BEST option.
Do not trust long lists.

expertise.

40. Mastering CCBA® V3
Adaptive US Inc. Be an IIBA Certified BA in 3 months. Guaranteed. Page 39 of 167
usually have formal or informal standards
regarding how to conduct BA and how it fits
into project and other activities.
Review existing organizational process assets
and tailoring aspects relating to the
initiative. These may suggest or mandate the
BA approach. If no standards exist, work with
appropriate stakeholders to determine the BA
approach. Work with the Project manager and
project team, to ensure that the BA approach
is suitable.
If a change is implemented through a project
approach, BA approach is defined during
project planning phase.
BA approach should:
1. Align with the goals of the change,
2. Coordinate the BA tasks with the
activities and deliverables of the overall
change,
3. Have risk mitigation tasks for risks which
affect task efficiency,
4. Make use of proven tools and techniques,
41. Mastering CCBA® V3
Adaptive US Inc. Be an IIBA Certified BA in 3 months. Guaranteed. Page 40 of 167
5. Meet organizational process needs and
objectives for the initiative.
One may tailor standard BA approaches for
the initiative as per organizational process
tailoring guidelines.
BA approach is often based on or related to
the project approach, but can also be
independent. For example, one can use a
plan-driven approach to define its business
processes and then use a change-driven
approach to build the supporting software
applications.
Elements
.1 Determine BA planning approach
Factors determining selection of BA approach
are
1. Prior experience,
2. Organization standards,
3. Tolerance for uncertainly,
4. Complexity and risk of change,
5. Regulation pertaining to the industry,
6. Geographic distribution of stakeholders,
42. Mastering CCBA® V3
Adaptive US Inc. Be an IIBA Certified BA in 3 months. Guaranteed. Page 41 of 167
7. Staff experience level and turnover,
8. Contractual needs,
9. Intent to re-use BA information etc.
Plans should be revised based on changing business conditions.

.2 Determine BA activities
BA approach drives BA activities. Decompose BA
activities into tasks for each deliverable,
their iterations.
.3 Determine timing for BA work
BA approach, resource availability,
priority/urgency of initiative, legal
constraints affect timing of BA activities.
.4 Determine complexity and risk
Factors affecting the complexity are
1. Size of the change,
2. Number of stakeholders,
3. Culture and geography,
4. Number of affected business areas/systems,
5. Technological competencies,
6. Risks etc.
Factors impacting the risks of BA effort
include:
1. BA experience level and domain knowledge,
45. Mastering CCBA® V3
Adaptive US Inc. Be an IIBA Certified BA in 3 months. Guaranteed. Page 44 of 167
2. Stakeholders experience level in
communicating requirements,
3. Stakeholders attitude of towards change and
business analysis,
4. Time allocated to BA activities,
5. Chosen BA framework, methodology, tools and
techniques,
6. Cultural norms and practices etc.
Outputs
BA approachidentifies BA approach and
activities, specifies team roles,
deliverables, analysis techniques, timing and
sequencing of work, deliverables produced,
frequency of stakeholder interactions and
other elements of BA process.
A methodology is a formalized and repeatable
approach.
